Armie Hammer’s mother, Dru Hammer, has finally opened up about her son’s recent struggles and the allegations that have rocked his career. The 37-year-old actor, known for his role in *Call Me By Your Name*, saw his fame take a nosedive after a series of alarming accusations surfaced.

These allegations included claims of violent abuse and even cannibalism fantasies, made by several women.

One of the most notable was his ex-girlfriend, Effie Angelova, who accused Hammer of violently raping and abusing her in 2017.

Hammer has denied these claims, asserting through his attorney that all his sexual encounters were consensual and mutually agreed upon.

In an interview with TMZ, Dru Hammer discussed her son’s situation candidly. She revealed that she remained cautious throughout the ordeal, as Armie chose not to publicly defend himself.

Dru recalled advice from a pastor about relying on faith for defense, which she believed was their guiding principle during this challenging time.

Reflecting on Armie’s recent interviews with Bill Maher and Piers Morgan, she mentioned that while he may have been morally wrong, he has undergone significant personal changes. According to Dru, Armie is now sober, happier, and finding solace in his faith.

Armie’s Attempt to Explain

Armie Hammer recently addressed one of the more troubling accusations made by his ex-girlfriend Paige Lorenze, who claimed he “branded” her with a knife.

In a new interview with Piers Morgan, Hammer tried to downplay the incident, describing it as a minor scrape rather than a serious act of branding.

He explained that the incident was part of a pre-discussed scenario and denied that it involved drawing blood. Hammer likened it to a small tattoo, though Morgan pointed out that using a knife on someone’s skin is quite different from a tattoo.

Hammer insisted that it was a small gesture, though he acknowledged it might seem unusual to some.

Reflecting on the Fallout

In a recent podcast appearance, Hammer expressed a surprising sense of gratitude for the scandal that derailed his Hollywood career.

He shared that the scandal forced him to confront personal issues he had been avoiding, such as self-love and self-validation.

Reflecting on the accusations of cannibalism, Hammer was baffled by the extreme nature of the allegations and described the situation as a complete upheaval of his life.

He admitted to feeling desperate and even contemplating suicide during the height of the scandal, but ultimately decided against it for the sake of his children.
