In March 2021, American actor Armie Hammer, revealed by David Fincher’s The Social Network and especially Call Me By Your Name alongside Timothée Chalamet, was the subject of a rape investigation following the complaint of a young woman aged 24. , named Effie, who said she was “mentally, emotionally and sexually” abused during her on-and-off four-year relationship with the actor and “brutally raped” for more than four hours in 2017. to other accusations of violent and sadistic sexual acts as well as cannibalistic sexual inclinations on the part of the actor.Armie Hammer is under investigation for rapeArmie Hammer was later fired from several projects, including a romantic comedy with Jennifer Lopez and the miniseries The Offer behind the scenes of the Godfather and his agent had also cut ties. Benched in Hollywood, the actor today gave his first interview since the accusations against him to the Air Mail newsletter, which also investigated the matter. If the actor admits to having abused his notoriety to manipulate his very young admirers and to have been emotionally abusive towards these young women, he however refutes any accusation of rape. and I dragged these women into this whirlwind of travel, sex, drugs and emotions. Then once I was done, I would abandon them and move on to another woman, making them feel abandoned and used.” “There was a power imbalance” Denying the accusations against him, Hammer said said what Efrosina Angelova — named Effie in early articles about the case — had described as a rape scene was actually a CNC staging, for “consensual non-consent,” a practice the young woman allegedly introduced him and that they planned ahead on Messenger in an exchange of messages that he has since deleted. The actor also opened up about his relationship with Courtney Vucekovich — who accused him of having “manipulated in order to satisfy her fantasies of domination” in the columns of the Daily Mail – and Paige Lorenze – who notably revealed that he would have made a gash 2.5 cm deep above the pubis to engrave the letter A, his initial. Hammer acknowledges a power dynamic and admits he should have been more aware that his fame complicated the issue of consent. “These young women were 20, I was 30. I was a well-known actor. They were certainly happy to be with me and maybe said yes to things they didn’t really consent to. There was a power imbalance in this situation.” The author of the article clarifies that he tried to contact the women who accused Armie Hammer and disclosed his fetish messages and cannibalistic fantasies, but none wanted follow up. The Air Mail paper also calls into question the veracity of Efrosina Angelova’s testimony. “A dangerous precedent” In this interview, Armie Hammer also returned to an episode in his life that he had passed over in silence and which would explain according to his behavior. The sexual abuse of the pastor of his parish of which he was the victim for a whole year, at the age of 13, would have created “a dangerous precedent in his life”. At the time, he would only have mentioned his discomfort vis-à-vis this pastor to his parents, but would have opened up about it to a close friend – who has since died – and to his godmother who confirms his testimony. “Thereafter, I always wanted to be in control sexually because not having control was very dangerous and uncomfortable for me”, admits Hammer, specifying however that this does not mean for him being violent towards women and that he would never have had of non-consensual sexual intercourse nor would he fantasize about this idea. In conclusion of the article, the actor affirms that he does not want to sue Efrosina Angelova for defamation. “This woman destroyed the last two years of my life. Do I want to tie myself to this person in litigation for years to come and have them keep puking on me? No, I just want to forget all that, move on and rebuild myself.” Despite the implosion of his life, career and reputation, the actor tells Air Mail that he does not want to go back and erase the whole affair. “I am grateful for life and for my recovery.”
