Armie Hammer was once poised to be one of Hollywood's biggest stars. Then, in early 2021, multiple women accused him of sexual and emotional abuse, coercion and violence. The details of the claims were shocking and disturbing: there were screenshots of alleged DMs from Hammer discussing rape and cannibalistic fantasies, and women reported being groomed and branded by him. Hammer - who had divorced his wife of 10 years, Elizabeth Chambers, the previous July - denied the accusations, but the damage was done. He was fired from several high-profile projects and dropped by his talent agency.
