Armie Hammer is stepping back into the limelight after a tumultuous few years.
Following serious allegations of sexual assault and bizarre claims about cannibalism, the actor is making a comeback with his new podcast, The Armie HammerTime Podcast.
This venture marks a significant shift for Hammer, who has been largely absent from public view since facing heavy criticism in 2021.
Podcast Debut with Tom Arnold
In the inaugural episode, Hammer sits down with fellow actor Tom Arnold in his modest Los Angeles apartment.
The space is surprisingly sparse, with a well-worn leather couch he snagged off Facebook Marketplace.
Hammer excitedly shares the details of his recent find, recalling how he and a friend haggled the price down to $150.
Arnold humorously likens Hammer’s rent-controlled living situation to a “closet,” reflecting on the actor’s current circumstances.
During their candid conversation, Hammer opens up about the financial struggles that led him to sell his truck, admitting he could no longer afford gas.
The lighthearted tone shifts as they dive into the sensational rumors surrounding Hammer’s alleged cannibalism.
With a chuckle, he confesses that he’s learned to embrace the wild stories, playfully claiming, “Hey, I’m a cannibal!”
Support from Fans
The podcast has already garnered a wave of positive feedback, with listeners expressing their support for Hammer.
Comments range from lighthearted jokes about the cannibalism rumors to encouraging notes about his resilience.
One fan quipped, “I love the cannibal stuff too, Armie,” while another shared their relief that he can laugh about the situation now.
There’s a sense of camaraderie as listeners urge people to stop “kink-shaming” and to recognize that everyone has unique interests.
Clearing the Air
Previously, Hammer tackled the cannibalism allegations in an interview with Piers Morgan, clarifying that the rumors originated from consensual sexual activities and role-playing.
He firmly stated, “You know what you have to do to be a cannibal? You have to have actually eaten somebody,” and confirmed that he had not engaged in such actions.
He did acknowledge a past incident where he traced his initials on his ex-girlfriend’s thigh, asserting that it was not a branding attempt.
In the same interview, Hammer admitted to infidelity during his marriage to Elizabeth Chambers, although he remained vague about the specifics.
He also addressed his relationship with Effie Angelova, who has accused him of sexual assault, describing it as “a very intense affair” marked by shared interests in kink.
However, he cautioned that, out of context, their conversations could seem troubling.
Maintaining Innocence
Hammer has consistently maintained his innocence against all allegations of rape and abuse.
His legal team insists that all his relationships were consensual.
After a lengthy divorce process, Hammer and Chambers reached an agreement last year, coinciding with LA County prosecutors deciding not to charge him in a sexual assault case due to insufficient evidence.
As he steps back into public life, Hammer expressed a desire to rebuild after a prolonged period of silence.
He shared on Instagram his eagerness to embark on the “long, difficult process” of reclaiming his life now that he feels his name has been cleared.
Looking Ahead
With the launch of his podcast and a renewed focus on his personal narrative, Armie Hammer appears determined to redefine his image.
Fans and followers are left wondering: what will this next chapter hold for the actor?
