The allegations of abuse against Armie Hammer are mounting. Now an ex-girlfriend spoke up that he is said to have brutally raped.
For several months there have been new allegations of sexual abuse against Armie Hammer (34, "Call Me By Your Name"). As reported by several US media, another ex-girlfriend spoke up on Thursday (March 18) who the actor is said to have brutally raped.
"I thought he was going to kill me"
The serious crime is said to have occurred in January 2017 and lasted more than four hours, said the 24-year-old alleged victim at a press conference with her lawyer Gloria Allred (79). The woman, who calls herself "Effie", accused Hammer, among other things, of having brutally hit her head against a wall several times and hit her feet with a crop. "I thought he was going to kill me," she continued. During their four-year on / off relationship, the star allegedly abused them "psychologically, emotionally and sexually" between 2016 and 2020.
Armie Hammer denied allegations against him through attorney Andrew Brettler. Brettler also published text messages allegedly sent by "Effie" to his client in July of last year containing explicit sexual requests to him. Hammer clearly rejected this and made it clear "that he did not want to maintain this kind of relationship". The lawyer emphasized that the actor had always entered into "completely consensual" sexual relationships.
The Los Angeles police confirmed shortly after the alleged victim's press conference that they had already started investigations against the 34-year-old Hollywood star last February. It was initially unclear whether they relate to the new allegations.
Did the allegations cost him his role in the Jennifer Lopez film?
Since the beginning of the year, anonymous Instagram and Twitter accounts with the name "House of Effie" have repeatedly published alleged text messages with sexual offers that Hammer is said to have sent to different women. It is not known whether the operator of the social media accounts is 24-year-old "Effie".
In January and February, two ex-girlfriends of the "Codename U.N.C.L.E." Actor made harrowing allegations against him. In text messages he is said to have written about violent sex and cannibalism fantasies, among other things. Hammer described the allegations at the time as "bullshit" and "malicious and fake online attacks", but later gave up his role in the movie "Shotgun Wedding" alongside Jennifer Lopez (51, "Hustlers") – allegedly because he had his two children Couldn't leave you alone during the filming.
