Armie Hammer Confronts Cannibalism Allegations
In the inaugural episode of "The Armie HammerTime Podcast," Armie Hammer, 38, directly tackled the bizarre and sensational rumors surrounding his alleged cannibalistic tendencies. Speaking with guest Tom Arnold, Hammer described the public's reaction to these accusations as "wild." He even admitted, "I'm not going to lie, I kind of like the cannibal stuff now."
Hammer elaborated: "The accusations are the thing that make so much noise. Like, what makes more noise? ‘Armie Hammer is a cannibal’ or ‘Armie Hammer might not be a cannibal?’ The cannibal thing makes more noise and you don't get an apology tour in this world. Like, someone says something about you, everyone believes it, and they move on with their lives to whatever it is they're focused on, because they've got their own lives."
Hammer further explained the phenomenon of such allegations gaining traction, emphasizing how the more outrageous claims tend to dominate public discourse. He pointed out the lack of an "apology tour" in today's world, where once a rumor spreads, it sticks, and people continue with their lives.
Arnold, 65, responded to Hammer, saying, "the great news is that you've worked on yourself."
"When something like this happens, we do all this work on ourselves," replied Hammer, "not so that we can get the jobs back but so that we don't care if we get the jobs back. I think that's where I feel like I am now." The actor's personal and professional life took a significant hit following these allegations.
The 2022 documentary 'House of Hammer' brought these rumors to the forefront, with ex-partners Courtney Vucekovich and Julia Morrison claiming Hammer sent them messages about cannibalistic fantasies. Moreover, a separate accusation of rape led to an investigation by the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office.
However, due to insufficient evidence, no charges were filed against Hammer. Despite this, the damage to his career was evident, as his last major role was in 2022's "Death on the Nile," and he currently has no upcoming projects.
During the podcast, Arnold praised Hammer for his personal development, to which Hammer responded, "When something like this happens, we do all this work on ourselves, not so that we can get the jobs back but so that we don't care if we get the jobs back. I think that's where I feel like I am now."
This introspection marks a new chapter for Hammer, as he shifts focus from acting to exploring meaningful conversations on his podcast.
Hammer's podcast promises to deliver "long-form, interesting conversations with people who have tools or skills or have acquired wisdom."
"Some of you are going to love this, and some of you are going to f------ hate it," he said in the video. "The original idea of the podcast was sort of the concept that over the course of a day every single person you interact with knows at least one thing that you don't. So, teach me what that one thing is."
