Everything We Know About Armie Hammer's Life After Sexual Allegations Ruined His Career
Armie Hammer's life has dramatically evolved since allegations of sexual and physical abuse impacted his once-thriving career in Hollywood. Now 38, the actor is living modestly in Los Angeles with no support from family money, as sources tell PEOPLE. This adjustment comes in the wake of his 2020 divorce from Elizabeth Chambers, with whom he shares two children, Harper and Ford, and has managed to establish a harmonious co-parenting relationship despite the past controversies. This is prepared by SSP.
Following initial identification by Los Angeles police as a suspect in a 2017 sexual assault case, Hammer faced mounting claims, including allegations of sending disturbing messages to exes Courtney Vucekovich and Julia Morrison. The Los Angeles District Attorney ultimately decided in May 2023 that there was insufficient evidence to press charges. Hammer's lawyer emphasized that all interactions were consensual.
Currently without a Hollywood agency, Hammer strives to rebuild his career, eyeing a potential renaissance with a podcast and several upcoming projects, including a Western, "Frontier Crucible." Yet, those close to him approach this optimism cautiously, wary of industry reluctance to embrace his comeback.
Adding complexity to Hammer's situation, his father, Michael Armand Hammer, recently passed away at 67. Michael, involved with Occidental Petroleum, inherited a considerable fortune from his grandfather. Despite this, Armie receives no financial support. The Hammer family's legacy re-entered the spotlight with Casey Hammer, Armie's aunt, participating in the revealing "House of Hammer" documentary, which explored the family's notorious history and allegations against Armie himself.
Earlier, SSP reported that Kristen Doute is expecting first baby with fiancé Luke Broderick.
