Hammer referenced the scandal that halted his career, saying, “I’ve been away for the last four years, and now I’m back. You know what? What are you going to do?”
In his first interview with Tom Arnold, Hammer reflected on the cannibalism allegations that contributed to Hollywood’s decline.

For example, if someone says something about you, everyone will believe it and start moving towards what they are focused on in life. Because they have their own lives. ”
Several years ago, two ex-girlfriends came forward with disturbing claims about Armie, sharing distorted sexual texts of an adult nature, later detailed in the 2022 documentary House of Hammer. , things fell apart for Hammer.

She had an affair with him.
After a two-year investigation, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office chose not to file any charges.
“Sexual assault cases are often difficult to prove, which is why we appoint our most experienced prosecutors to review sexual assault cases,” Communications Director Tiffiny Bracknell told Extra. said in a statement. “In this case, prosecutors conducted a very thorough investigation and determined that there was insufficient evidence at this time to charge Mr. Hammer with a crime.As prosecutors, we believe that We have an ethical responsibility to only prosecute cases that can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. We know that it is difficult for women to report sexual assault, even if we are unable to proceed with prosecution. Our Victim Services Representatives work with people who seek our victim support services because the relationship is complex and we cannot prove non-consensual and forced sexual contact, so we cannot prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. I can’t prove it.”
