US actor Armie Hammer breaks two-year silence following sexual abuse allegations
US actor Armie Hammer has revealed he was sexually abused as a teenager and considered taking his own life in the aftermath of allegations made against him. The 36-year-old’s career has been in freefall since the emergence of a series of damaging accusations over explicit messages he allegedly sent on social media and an accusation of rape by a woman in Los Angeles in March 2021.
The Call Me By Your Name actor later said: “I had a very intense and extreme lifestyle. I would scoop up these women, bring them into it, into this whirlwind of travel and sex and drugs and big emotions flying around, and then as soon as I was done, I’d just drop them off and move on to the next woman, leaving that woman feeling abandoned or used.
“I was powerless in the situation. I had no agency in the situation. My interests then went to: I want to have control in the situation, sexually.” Hammer said after being “completely cancelled and blackballed”, he attempted to take his own life while quarantining in the Cayman Islands in February 2021.
“What can I do? It’s, like, you don’t want me to act, but then you’re not going to let me have a normal life, either?
