Everything You Need To Know About The Armie Hammer Scandal: Masterlist (Updated: 13 July 2022) ----------------------------------------------
All information is publicly sourced, mostly from press or the social media postings of those involved.
Summary
March 2020: Hammer quarantined in the Cayman Islands with his then wife, Elizabeth Chambers, and their 2 children, until June 2020.
June-July 2020: Hammer began posting to social media about attempting to leave the islands. By June 26, he flies out and begins driving to Los Angeles. Hammer arrived in LA on July 10 and his divorce from Chambers was announced to press hours later. Documents showed Hammer listed their separation date as January 2020 (suggesting they were pretending to still be married until July 2020). On July 18, a week after the announcement, a woman Hammer allegedly had an affair with in 2017, sent him a graphic text message requesting violent sex acts, to which Hammer declined (this message was not public knowledge until March 2021).
August-December 2020: Hammer was romantically linked to and/or photographed with Courtney Vucekovich, Rumer Willis, Jessica Ciencin Henriquez and Paige Lorenze. No dating confirmations were released to press, only a Page Six article clarifying a break up with Vucekovich as of October 1. The woman Hammer allegedly had the aforementioned affair with publicly commented âgood girlâ on Vucekovichâs Instagram the day after the split made news. Also in October, Hammerâs ex-wife refused to uphold her part of an original agreement to return to Los Angeles with their children. In late October, Hammer and Lorenze created âfinstaâ accounts on Instagram (dummy accounts meant for private/personal use).
December 2020: While dating Paige Lorenze, Hammer arranged to return to the Cayman Islands to see his children. As this was the first wave of the pandemic, Hammer needed government permission and to complete two weeks of quarantine once there. He posted his arrival back to the Caymans on social media, on 18 December 2020 and began quarantining. On 28 December, Lorenze appeared on a hockey podcast, as she had previously dated a hockey player before Hammer. She mentioned that Hammer had been âso amazingâ and âreally greatâ, especially in comparison to the hockey player ex. The podcast was later deleted when the allegations against Hammer began to surface. On 31 December, an Instagram account titled houseofeffie posted an exotic dancing video, which appeared to feature a voiceover by Hammer (I will refer to her as âthe formal accuserâ). This generated online speculation which continued into January 2021.
January 2021: In the first week of January, houseofeffie began leaking unverified screenshots of alleged direct messages (DMs) between her and Hammer. Instagram gossip page DeuxMoi began directing people toward the houseofeffie page. Ciencin-Henriquez also directed people to the page and claimed to know the DMs were real (but did not clarify how she knew). What initially seemed like an expose of an extreme kink-based affair turned to accusations of sexual assault by the formal accuser from around 10-11 January, just as the DMs went mainstream viral. She posted hundreds of screenshots throughout 2021, some completely innocuous, others appearing to show discussion about cannibalism kink, consensual non-consent encounters and BDSM roleplay. As of July 2022, the authenticity of all DMs remains unverified. Hammerâs aforementioned âfinstaâ account was leaked by an unknown source on 15 January. On January 14 and 22, the aforementioned Vucekovich and Lorenze gave interviews to tabloid Page Six about ending their relationships with Hammer due to discomfort with his kinks. Neither accused him of crime but both said they participated in sex acts they were not comfortable with. Lorenze later stated that the media âtwisted her wordsâ and that she ânever intendedâ for Hammer to be âcanceledâ. Throughout January and onward, the formal accuser made the unverified claim that she knew of 200 victims. She has never verified this. See below for more information on several unnamed and debunked victims. The LA Times attempted to work with the accuser to produce an article about her accusations but canceled it when she was unable to authenticate her story
February 2021: A report was filed by the formal accuser against Hammer to the Los Angeles Police Department, who began a sexual assault investigation. On 8 December 2021, the LAPDâs investigation was concluded and sent onto the district attorney for review. It is unknown if a final decision will be made public. As of July 2022, TMZâs Harvey Levin stated his sources tell him the case will be dismissed. At the end of February, Paige Lorenze publicly clashed with the formal accuser on Twitter after the accuser posted a fractured screenshot of a private message conversation between them. Lorenze also pointed out that the accuser was frequently sharing lustful posts about Hammer and publicly begging him to contact her. The accuser had posted to her Instagram story that she âwanted to bite [Hammerâs] ribsâ and spoke of an obsession with his hands. She told her Instagram followers that she would be sexually aroused if he took her to court (she also claimed he had already tried to take legal action in 2019). As of July 2022, she still posts to her Instagram and Twitter about her obsession with him. Also in February, Hammer fans discovered the accuser had previously visited filming locations for Call Me By Your Name in 2018, and had met the filmâs director and the novelâs author. However in 2021, she told followers via her Instagram stories that late 2017 was traumatic for her as the film was being promoted everywhere.
March 2021: The formal accuser appeared on a livestreamed press conference with her lawyer, Gloria Allred, and graphically recounted Hammerâs alleged rape of her in April 2017. The accuser did not actually appear live in this press conference, her video was recorded a month prior. In response to this, Hammerâs defense attorney Andrew Brettler, revealed the aforementioned graphic text message sent by the accuser in July 2020 (link below).
2021 onward: In May, Hammer entered a rehabilitation treatment center in Florida. Hammerâs defense attorney, along with several other high profile lawyers, talked to The Hollywood Reporter about mainstream mediaâs current refusal to publish anything from the side of the accused. In October, after Timothee Chalamet refused to comment on the allegations, the formal accuser began implicating him as having enabled Hammer on her Instagram stories, after previously referring to him as âan angelâ in January 2021. None of her accusations against Chalamet were reported on by press. In November, footage of the formal accuser standing in the background of an Oct 2017 Call Me By Your Name red carpet premiere interview with Hammer was rediscovered. In late November and December 2021, Elizabeth Chambers showed Hammer on several of her Instagram stories spending time with their children in the Caymans. The LAPD investigation wrapped in December 2021 and a decision from the LA District Attorney currently remains unknown. No formal charges have been sought against Hammer so far.
âââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
Armie Hammerâs official statements:
13 January 2021 via TMZ: âIâm not responding to these b*llshit claims but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for 4 months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic. Lionsgate is supporting me in this and Iâm grateful to them for that.â
17 January 2021 via Cayman Compass: âI would like to clarify that the person in my video, which was stolen from my private Instagram, is not Miss Cayman. I am genuinely sorry for any confusion my foolish attempt at humour may have caused.â (Regarding a leaked private video depicting a woman on his hotel room bed with a caption calling her âMs Caymanâ)
21 January 2021 via US Weekly: âThese assertions about Mr. Hammer are patently untrue. Any interactions with this person, or any partner of his, were completely consensual in that they were fully discussed, agreed upon, and mutually participatory. The stories being perpetuated in the media are a misguided attempt to present a one-sided narrative with the goal of tarnishing Mr. Hammerâs reputation, and communications from the individuals involved prove that.â (Statement also used in March 2021)
20 March 2021 via Daily Mail: â[Accuserâs] own correspondence with Mr. Hammer undermines and refutes her outrageous allegations. As recently as July 18, 2020, [she] sent graphic texts to Mr. Hammer telling him what she wanted him to do to her. Mr. Hammer responded making it clear that he did not want to maintain that type of relationship with her. The screenshot below is just one of hundreds [she] sent to Mr. Hammer. It was never Mr. Hammerâs intention to embarrass or expose [her] fetishes or kinky sexual desires, but she has now escalated this matter to another level by hiring a civil lawyer to host a public press conference. With the truth on his side, Mr. Hammer welcomes the opportunity to set the record straight. From day one, Mr. Hammer has maintained that all of his interactions with [her]Â â and every other sexual partner of his for that matter â have been completely consensual, discussed and agreed upon in advance, and mutually participatory. [Her] attention seeking and ill-advised legal bid will only make it more difficult for real victims of sexual violence to get the justice they deserve.â
Graphic text message sent by formal accuser to Armie Hammer on July 18, 2020, 5 months prior to her going public with accusations, and three years after the alleged rape. Screenshot released to Daily Mail by attorney Andrew Brettler in March 2021.

But after my words were twisted in the media and I was viciously attacked online (which happens still to this day), i stopped talking and advocating, and I withdrew to protect myself.â (via Instagram story)
Formal accuser:
(Note: As of December 2021, the only known person to involve an attorney, and to accuse of rape)
March 18, 2021 - Online press conference with attorney Gloria Allred, accusing Hammer of rape in April 2017. Her statement video was pre-recorded in February 2021.

April 20, 2022 via Variety: âThere was never a case. A lot of people think that there was. There was never a lawsuit, never a criminal proceeding. The media are obsessed with that matter. It never turned into litigation or into a criminal charge against anyone. That was a misconception.â (Hammerâs defense attorney Andrew Brettler)
July 10, 2022 via TMZ Live: âFrom what Iâve heard the district attorney is looking at it. The DA has essentially made a decision and is rejecting this whole thingâ (Harvey Levin)

Other:
Julia Morrison: (Note: Morrison never met Hammer in person)
April 20, 2021 via White Hot Magazine: âJulia Morrison mints the first #MeToo NFT about escaping Armie Hammer in âArmie DM TMI NFTsâ

13 June 2022 - Morrison âcrashesâ a seminar being held at Hammer Museum discussing the authenticity of NFTs. She claims paid henchmen hacked into her computer and left threatening words in her search bar.
Unverified or debunked accounts:
There were several unverified, anonymous names circulating in early 2021 on social media (mostly Instagram). The formal accuser brought all of these accounts to public attention, and all have since vanished:
milkandhoneyroses - debunked as a âcatfishâ aka using someone elseâs images as her own. The real woman verified her photos had been stolen and addressed the accuser on Twitter.Â
houseofregret - the formal accuser drew attention to this anonymous Instagram account. The person behind it claimed to be a woman who met Hammer in the UK in 2019 and had a brief affair which allegedly turned violent. As they answered questions from people, the formal accuser became irate and fought with this person about potentially compromising her case. Eventually the account vanished, briefly returned in November 2021, then vanished again.Â
velvetmoonst - the formal accuser drew attention to this account claiming the person behind it was underage. They vanished early on and have not returned.
Ellie Beers Fallon posted an Instagram story claiming she was a victim of Hammer but has said nothing further. She tweeted this on 5 February 2021, too.
Dominastya leaked unverified kink based DMs in early 2020 and 2021, but does not appear to have ever met Hammer in person. She was known to the formal accuser possibly from 2017 and definitely from July 2020. She claimed to be leaving social media in May 2022.

The media narrative(s):
2021
Sophie Ross:
January 14, 2021: âIf I See One More Person Defending Armie Hammerâ (Note: Ross initially posted (then later deleted) theories on her Instagram story about Hammer and his friends working construction nearby where a murder had occurred, suggesting this made them possible murder suspects, tweeted an unverified Reddit story about Hammer buying an axe and rope (because those items are never used for things likeâŚcutting down trees, for example), and retweeted a thread displaying the unverified DMs. To be fair, Ross also eventually revealed that an LA Times expose article on Hammer was canned because the formal accuserâs authenticity could not be verified. She did backtrack but still makes cannibal jokes now because, you know, serious journalist and all..)

He settled for the Daily Mail, a news organization that followed the Hammer case prodigiously but is generally not considered trustworthy. âMany media outlets donât want to be seen as blaming the purported victim or be seen as an apologist for the accused,â Brettler adds. âBalance is key. If the press is going to report on accusations based on gossip or rumors on social media, then it needs to report both sides of the story.â)

Considering two weeks of quarantine was still required by the Cayman Islands at this time, Hammer had likely left the facility around late October 2021 (or earlier) making this article unsourced and inaccurate. The media did not pick up on Hammerâs exit until early December 2021).

July 13, 2022 update: âNow, a source tells Variety that Hammer is indeed working selling timeshares at a hotel in the Caymans, and that all other reports suggesting otherwise are inaccurate. âHe is working at the resort and selling timeshares. He is working at a cubicle,â a source, who called Variety this week, explains. âThe reality is heâs totally broke, and is trying to fill the days and earn money to support his family.âThis individual, who asked to remain anonymous, says that prior to working as a timeshare salesman, Hammer was managing an apartment complex in the Cayman Islands.â

Debunked myths:
âHundreds came forwardâ - Officially, three women came forward. One with claims of rape which she did not press charges for. As of March 2022, only the formal accuser, and Paige Lorenze and Courtney Vucekovich have publicly spoken. None have filed any legal action against Hammer. Lorenze and Vucekovich did not accuse him of any specific crimes. Everything leaked online in January 2021 came primarily from the formal accuser. Jessica Ciencin Henriquez claimed to know the leaked DMs were real, but did not accuse Hammer directly (in regards to herself).
âHeâs a cannibalâ - While screenshots of DMs leaked by the formal accuser showed messages pertaining to cannibalistic fantasies, the screenshots were never verified as real. Fantasies divulged over text messaging are not proof of real life crimes having taken place. His ex-girlfriends interviews appeared to confirm the content within the DMs - saying he spoke of cannibalistic type fetishes with them - but they never said he acted on them. In January 2021, the formal accuser posted on her Instagram story that she wanted to bite Hammerâs ribs. In May 2021, two months after publicly accusing him of rape, the formal accuser tweeted that she was barely concealing a fetish for his ribs, and claimed she used to ask him to remove hers. As her authenticity has been continually called into question since January 2021, caution should be taken in regards to believing unverified screenshots pertaining to a fantasy that she has since openly claimed as her own.
âHis silence equals guiltâ - The âstatementsâ section at the top of this post shows Hammer did not remain silent. He issued three official statements of denial. Lawyers often advise their clients to keep quiet and stay off social media while legal processes take place.
âHe beat up his wife/partnersâ - There have been no claims from Elizabeth Chambers about domestic violence. Chambers has not accused him of anything. Lorenze and Vucekovich did not accuse him of domestic violence, either. The formal accuser said he physically assaulted her during the alleged April 2017 attack.
âHe murdered someone/heâs a serial killerâ - In the âpolice involvementâ section, a police statement officially declares he was NOT investigated or even a suspect in any murder case. This myth began from viral tweets implying that because Hammer was physically present in a location somewhat near a murder, that he must somehow be linked to it. Journalist Sophie Ross posted this speculation to her instagram stories at the height of the accusations going viral. She later deleted them upon realising they were unverified. Lorenze also joked on a February 2021 livestream that âI f*cked with a pretty man and he turned out to be like a serial killerâ, before laughing.
âHe was fired from movie rolesâ - See âexited rolesâ section. No studio (so far) has confirmed they fired Hammer.
âHe dated Lorenze and Vucekovich for 4-6 months in 2020â - Hammer was quarantining in the Cayman Islands from March 2020, and did not return to the US until 27 June 2020. Vucekovich began âsoft launchingâ their relationship on Instagram in August 2020, and they officially split by 1 October. Two months. Lorenze arrived in LA on 12 September, after just ending a relationship with a hockey player. Her soft launching began approx mid October 2020. They were official by November, as they went to Hammerâs motherâs for Thanksgiving. Their exact split is unknown because Lorenze spoke as if they were still dating in a podcast interview which aired on 28 December 2020. In February 2021, however, she claimed she left him out of fear approx 10 December - despite being photographed with him on 13 December and posting to Instagram about a 14 December date. She left LA on the 15th of December for a vacation, and he returned to the Cayman Islands on the 18th, so, presumably, they split here. Both women dated him approximately two months. It pays to pay attention to social media trails.
âHe was in a relationship with [formal accuser] for four yearsâ - This claim only came from the accuser, Hammer has never verified how long their affair lasted. The accuser lives in Bulgaria, and briefly lived in London and LA, while Hammer (based in LA) traveled constantly for his film career. The accuser has suggested many times on her social media that Hammer often âghostedâ her (didnât make any contact). There are no leaked/alleged DMs with a 2018 date, and only a handful from late 2019. The accuser once posted to her Instagram that she had been begging him to return to her since 2017, which suggests they hadnât met in person since then. In 2020, she was in Bulgaria and he was quarantining in the Caymans before moving back to LA mid year. The only confirmation of in-person meetings between Hammer and the accuser (so far) is one photo from December 2016, when she was working in Los Angeles, and the fact that Hammer did not deny an affair with her. All of this put together would indicate they had very minimal contact beyond 2017.
Inappropriate with children claims - This is a mix-up of a few things: The formal accuser claimed that Hammer told her a friend inappropriately touched his daughter. She leaked unverified DMs allegedly showing this discussion. Nothing has since come of these claims and that friend still appears to be on good terms with Hammer. Second, there was controversy in 2019 when Hammer uploaded a video to Instagram (filmed by ex-wife) showing his toddler son putting Hammerâs toe in his mouth briefly, before he removes it then his son âchasesâ him to do it again, while laughing. It was captioned âthis went on for seven minutesâ. After public uproar, ex-wife issued an apology, explaining their son was going through a foot fascination phase. The video was circulated again in 2021 after the allegations went viral, and has been used as âevidenceâ by the public to suggest Hammer is inappropriate with kids (?!). Finally, the formal accuser made so far unverified claims of knowing about teenage victims (note: if someone knew of victims and didnât report them, that can be a criminal offense in itself), and Vucekovich claimed Hammer âquickly grooms youâ in her Page Six article, saying she was concerned for young girls - despite her being 30 when they dated (he was 33), and his marrying a woman four years older than him, back when he was 22. The youngest women linked to Hammer (so far) were the formal accuser, who was 20 when he was 30, and Lorenze who was 22 when he was 34. As specified throughout this post, his ex-wife posted Hammer spending time with his children on her social media, as of November 2021, attending dinners/events where other peopleâs children were also present. That would never happen if there was legitimate reason to believe heâd been inappropriate with children.
âHis mother said he is demonicâ - Demonic possession is not real.
âVucekovich went to trauma therapy because of himâ - Vucekovich publicly posted to Instagram on 2 October 2020 - the day after her split from Hammer made news - that she was entering a rehab program for alcohol and social media addiction. She later posted a book about alcoholism, made posts about sobriety and posted a âthrowbackâ photo taken in the facility, of a whiteboard notice detailing her punishment for continuing to âstealâ her phone (the âjokeâ being she had yet again stolen her banned phone while being treated forâŚsocial media addictionâŚ). So it tracks that those were her two reasons for treatment. However, since January 2021, she has claimed this was trauma therapy after her relationship with Hammer.
âHis actions are generational trauma because his family is corruptâ - Pseudo-psychology. There is scientific doubt surrounding the validity of âgenerational traumaâ as a concept. His family background was only brought up because the media could not find any damaging information on Hammer himself. The issue of his familyâs shady behavior (mostly from before Hammer was born) has already been public for years, and nothing new has been found.
âHis lawyer has defended people who are guilty/accusedâ - Yes, thatâs what lawyers do. They defend clients. Everyone who ends up in some form of legal battle is entitled to a lawyer, even if you dislike the person or believe them to be guilty.
âDeath on the Nile was delayed due to the allegationsâ - DOTN was filmed in 2019 (two years prior to the allegations) and initially scheduled for a 2020 release. It was delayed five times due to the pandemic. It was delayed a sixth time due to the allegations. Hammer has not worked on a film since this one (yes, since 2019).

Celebrity Statements:
Bella Thorne via Instagram: âI honestly canât believe this. People are crazy to fake this kinda shit â this poor guy and his kids, like leave him and his family alone. No way heâs a freaking CANNIBAL. Also, thereâs a million fake screenshots going around.â (January 2021)
Michael Stuhlbarg via The Independent: âIt will blow through.â (March 2021)
Josh Duhamel via Man About Town: â[Replacing someone] is not how I like to get roles. I know Armie a little bit, and when I knew I was gonna get the part I emailed him and said, âListen, I know you are going through it right now, I donât like to get roles like this and I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you and good luck, get through it. He emailed me right back and said thank you so who knows, hopefully he gets through it.â (May 2021)
Gal Gadot via N12: âItâs very complex. If the truth is that he did things, that didnât matter then a person has to pay the price for his actions and take responsibility. I donât know what will happen.â (Some translation errors) (May 2021)
Timothee Chalamet via Time Magazine: âI totally get why youâre asking that but itâs a question worthy of a larger conversation, and I donât want to give you a partial response.â (October 2021)
Kenneth Branagh via Variety: âWhatâs gone on there is a personal and private matter of which I have no knowledge and of which I think is going through a process which has to be respected. Those very serious issues are being dealt with seriously.â (October 2021)
Dakota Johnston via The Hollywood Reporter: âI never experienced that firsthand from any of those people (Hammer, Johnny Depp or Shia LeBouf). I had an incredible time working with them; I feel sad for the loss of great artists. I feel sad for people needing help and perhaps not getting it in time. I feel sad for anyone who was harmed or hurt. I do believe that people can change. I want to believe in the power of a human being to change and evolve and get help and help other people. I think thereâs definitely a major over-correction happening. But I do believe that thereâs a way for the pendulum to find the middle. The way that studios have been run up until now, and still now, is behind. It is such an antiquated mindset of what movies should be made, who should be in them, how much people should get paid, what equality and diversity look like. Sometimes the old school needs to be moved out for the new school to come in. But, yeah, cancel culture is such a f*cking downer. I hate that term.â (November 2021)
Luca Guadagnino via Provincetown International Film Festival: âIâm not very good at the trials on social media. As far as Iâm concerned, Armie has been exposed on social media, but the law has yet to talk, if the law has anything to say about it.â (June 2022)

January 28, 2021 via JustJared: âNo.Words.â âArmie Hammerâs Ex-Wife Elizabeth Chambers Reacts to Cannibal Love Story Movie In the Worksâ
February 1, 2021 official statement via Instagram: âFor weeks, Iâve been trying to process everything that has transpired. I am shocked, heartbroken, and devastated. Heartbreak aside, I am listening, and will continue to listen and educate myself on these delicate matters. I didnât realize how much I didnât know. I support any victim of assault or abuse and urge anyone who has experienced this pain to seek the help she or he needs to heal. At this time, I will not be commenting further on this matter. My sole focus and attention will continue to be on our children, on my work and on healing during this incredibly difficult time. Thank you for all of the love and support, and thank you in advance for your continued kindness, respect, and consideration for our children and me as we find ways to move forward.â
March 11, 2021 via Vanity Fair: âElizabeth has told friends that while she is fearful herself, she is projecting strength for the kids and trying to find occasional humor in the darkness. Sheâs been joking to friends that the only thing that makes sense to her, looking back on her marriage since the allegations surfaced, is the Netflix movie starring Zac Efron as Ted BundyâExtremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile.â (Unverified)

Talent agency and personal publicist exit:
February 5, 2021 via The Hollywood Reporter: âArmie Hammer has been dropped by WME. Sources tell THR that his personal publicist has also stepped away.â (Note: No official statements from WME or his publicist eventuated. An unnamed spokesperson for WME allegedly commented here but their comment is not quoted).
Director and cast of Crisis being penalized by press due to the scandal:
April 8, 2021 via Moviemaker: âWe had all this press lined up. Little by little all these things evaporated and all this press â they didnât want to do a feature about Armie Hammer because, letâs be honest, the story was Armie Hammer, cannibal. But the subtext of the story was Armie Hammer, sexual abuser. And now the further subtext, which now has become the text, is Armie Hammer, accused rapist. One network was eager to have Gary Oldman appear for an interview but insisted, âheâs got to answer two questions about the Armie Hammerâ situation.âI think the only time they ever met each other was at a dinner I had to kick off the movie.â
Astronomers using NASAâs James Webb Space Telescope combined the capabilities of the telescopeâs two cameras to create a never-before-seen view of a star-forming region in the Carina Nebula. Captured in infrared light by the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), this combined image reveals previously invisible areas of star birth.Â
