The voice memo Hammer is alleged to have left, which is played in the trailer, also contains the following statement: “My bet was going to involve showing up at your place and completely tying you up and incapacitating you and being able to do whatever I wanted to every single hole in your body until I was done with you.”
In the documentary, Hammer is also seen purportedly writing to a woman that he is “100% a cannibal” and writing, “I am going to bite the fuck out of you.”
The documentary was filmed in collaboration with Casey Hammer, who is the aunt of Armie Hammer and the great-granddaughter of Armand Hammer, the entrepreneur who amassed the family fortune in the oil industry.
A upcoming Discovery+ docuseries focuses on Armie Hammer, the troubled actor who was accused of sexual abuse in early 2021, and also explores his family history.
The three-part “House of Hammer” series looks into allegations against Hammer, which he has categorically and repeatedly denied through lawyers. Among the allegations are that Hammer sent women abusive messages about his cannibalistic fantasies and sexual fetishes.
Two of Hammer’s claimed victims do on-camera interviews and share screenshots of texts and recordings of voice notes they say they received from the actor in a shocking teaser that Discovery unveiled on Wednesday.
Before the film was shopped around town and finally ended as on Discovery’s streaming channel, Casey Hammer signed a contract. Along with the directors Elli Hakami and Julian P. Hobbs, she was formally a consultant.
The famous family has endured other controversies in addition to the one that recently made headlines involving Armie Hammer. Julius Hammer, the great-great grandfather of the actor, was found guilty of first-degree manslaughter in 1920 after the death of the Russian diplomat’s wife, to whom he had performed an abortion. The death of a man in Julian Hammer’s Los Angeles house in 1955 was due to a gambling debt; however, Julian claimed self defense, and the charges against him were dropped.
In her self-published book “Surviving My Birthright,” released in 2015, Casey Hammer claimed that her father, Julian, had molested her while she was a young kid.
Regarding Hammer, the actor’s downfall occurred during the epidemic when reported communications to women that he is said to have sent emerged on social media and developed into a never-ending media frenzy. Early in 2021, images of messages in which he allegedly discussed his cannibalistic fantasies led to the first allegations of sexual abuse against him. The LAPD launched an inquiry after one woman, who is being represented by attorney Gloria Allred, accused Hammer of rape.
