Armie Hammer Breaks Silence in New Interview: ‘I’m Here to Own My Mistakes’ - Rolling Stone

Armie Hammer has broken his silence for the first time since alleged cannibalistic fantasies and sexual assault claims halted the actor’s career two years ago.

Speaking to digital newsletter Air Mail, Hammer said, “I’m here to own my mistakes, take accountability for the fact that I was an asshole, that I was selfish, that I used people to make me feel better, and when I was done, moved on.

In the interview, Hammer reveals for the first time that he was molested at the age of 13 by a youth pastor at his church, a revelation that was corroborated by two people including his godmother.

According to Hammer, the alleged incident was a well-planned “consensual non-consent scene” where “every single thing was discussed beforehand” between him and “Effie” in a since-deleted Facebook Messenger conversation.

She planned all of the details out, all the way down to what Starbucks I would see her at, how I would follow her home, how her front door would be open and unlocked and I would come in, and we would engage in what is called a ‘consensual non-consent scene,’ CNC.”

Following a stint in drug and alcohol rehab, Hammer is now working as a sober companion to a fellow recovering addict.
