Armie Hammer Says He's “Canceled" and “Broke"

In the blink of an eye, Armie Hammer went from being Hollywood’s hottest new actor to working in a cubicle, as a concierge, at a Caymans Island hotel.

Hammer (“Call Me By Your Name,” “The Social Network”) made a rare public appearance this weekend as he sat down for an interview on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast.

In the 90-minute interview, Hammer discussed the “brutal experience” of his career, and that despite being “canceled” and “broke” he’s “never been happier” in his entire life.

As for the allegations thrown against him, Hammer is defiant, he says he did nothing wrong and that his behavior never veered towards lawlessness:

I was cleared by multiple authorities […] So shouldn't that be enough?

Hammer’s downfall started after accusations of BDSM and cannibalistic fetishes were revealed on social media. It worsened when a social media user named Effie accused Hammer of rape. They supposedly had set a” safe word” before the BDSM commenced, but she never used it.

A major twist in this story occurred when noted feminist attorney, Gloria Allred, fired Effie once she wouldn’t sign a declaration putting her at risk of perjury for her accusations. Why didn’t she? It was a major PR disaster for the accuser. Police decided not to charge Hammer, and no further investigation was needed.

Hammer admitted that his acting career is “nowhere now.” He says he’s not allowed to play in the Hollywood sandbox, but he’s “making my own sandbox” by writing a screenplay with a friend named Jerry.

In 2023, the actor was so broke after his #MeToo fallout that it was reported Robert Downey Jr. provided Hammer a temporary place to stay, and financial assistance until he got back on his feet.
