In a recent interview, Armie Hammer opened up about the strange and shocking accusations of cannibalism that have been surrounding him since 2021. Despite the seriousness of the allegations, the 37-year-old actor, known for his roles in films like Death on the Nile and Call Me By Your Name, now says he is grateful for the experience.
It all began when multiple women came forward with claims of rape, emotional abuse, and violence against Hammer. These accusations caused a huge uproar on social media, with many people believing them to be true. It was even reported that Hammer had a fetish for cannibalism, with women stating that he had made comments about wanting to "take a bite" out of their body parts.
However, in his recent interview on the Painful Lessons podcast, Hammer revealed that he is now able to look back at the situation with a sense of distance and perspective. He finds it almost humorous that people actually believed he was a cannibal. He says, "They were like 'yep, that guy ate people.' Like what? What are you talking about? Do you know what you have to do to be a cannibal? You have to eat people! How am I going to be a cannibal?! Like, it was bizarre."
Despite the outlandish nature of the accusations, Hammer says he is grateful for the experience. He believes that going through such a public fall from grace has helped him grow and learn important lessons. He explains, "Even in the discrepancies, in whatever it was that people said, whatever it was that happened, I'm now in a place in my life where I'm grateful for every single bit of it."
During the interview, Hammer also discussed how the events of 2021 have taught him to give himself love and grow his self-esteem from within. He admits that before the accusations, he relied on external validation from his job and social media, never learning how to give himself love and validation. He says, "I was never in a place where I was happy with myself, where I had self-esteem. I never knew how to give myself love, I never knew how to give myself validation."
Hammer's divorce from his wife, Elizabeth Chambers, was also confirmed in 2023 after they initially separated in 2020. He was briefly engaged to 26-year-old IT consultant Marina Gris, but the engagement was called off in January 2024. Despite the struggles he has faced in recent years, Hammer remains hopeful and believes that the pain he has gone through has helped him grow. He even expressed a wish for his loved ones to experience something similar, albeit on a smaller scale, so that they can learn the same lessons he has.
In May 2023, the sexual assault charges against Hammer were dropped after an investigation. The district attorney's office released a statement saying that they were unable to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt due to the complexity of the relationship. This news was a relief for Hammer, as he could finally put the legal battle behind him and move forward.
Despite the turmoil and hardships, Hammer remains positive and hopeful for the future. He is grateful for the lessons he has learned and is now focused on self-love and growth. As he said in the interview, "I'm actually at a place where I'm really grateful for it because where I was in my life before all of that stuff happened to me, I didn't feel good. I never felt satisfied. I never had enough." And for that, he is thankful.
