By our records and the reporting around Armie Hammer in 2021, he checked into a rehab facility in late May or early June. Before then, he was hitting rock bottom in a series of hotel rooms, doing a variety of drugs with various women. This time last year, we believed that Hammer was abusing drugs and alcohol and that he cheated on his wife a lot. Over the course of the year, we learned that Hammer sent cannibalism fantasies to his lovers, that several women were emotionally and physically abused and at least one woman is saying that he raped her. We also heard in October that Hammer was “thriving” in rehab and he wanted to stay there for as long as possible. Well, he’s apparently checked out of rehab now and they’re claiming he was there for nine months?
Actor Armie Hammer is trying to move on with his life after spending most of 2021 in rehab — while still facing shocking accusations of violence against women and a cannibalistic sex addiction.
“Armie is out of the treatment facility where he spent almost 9 months,” a source told The Sun. “He is doing really well and it’s wonderful news for his family. He’s back in the Cayman Islands.”
Hammer, 35, the scion of Armand Hammer, had starred in the Broadway version of “Straight White Men” in 2018, along with numerous Hollywood productions, before his career began to unravel over reported sex, drug and alcohol issues. He checked into a Florida treatment center on May 31, the report states.
Hammer remains under investigation in Los Angeles for shocking charges that he displayed violent and even cannibalistic urges during sex.
I’m not a math genius or anything but May 31 to December 13 is not “almost nine months.” It’s “over six months.” While I’m sure Armie Hammer had significant substance abuse issues, his rehab stay wasn’t court-ordered. I kind of wondered if his rehab stay was more like a six-month spa with some light therapy. As for everything else… Armie is facing at least one criminal investigation for rape. Other than that, the repercussions he faces are mostly just with his career. His agent dropped him, his publicist and manager dropped him and he probably won’t get any work for a long time. But hey, he’s still a white man, I’m sure people will “give him another chance.”

He gives me skeezy vibes. Ugh.
Me too. I always thought he would be perfect to play Dellen Millard if they ever did a movie about him. He is a Canadian convicted of 3 murders, including his father who they originally ruled a suicide, in my area. Creepy but good looking guy with family money who just never heard the word no, so he thought he could take anything he wanted.
And then Armie’s real self was revealed and he seemed even more eerily perfect to play Dellen.
He would be perfect to “play” Dellen Millard, doesn’t seem like it would take much acting, though.
How bloody convenient.
They’ve rehabilitated Mel Gibson. They’ll rehab this toxic fool unless he actually is found eating someone. Truly, heaven is a place on earth for white men.
Know some people who worked with Gibson in his heyday. Basically, the man was worshipped. He was open about his own alcoholism and incredibly supportive of other people’s recovery. Best known example, Gibson paid the enormous insurance tab to hire post-jail Robert Downey Jr for The Singing Detective when the studio refused. He would hire people out of rehab and make sure it was a sober set. Didn’t help him in the end, but other people survived their addictions because of his good work.
So Gibson’s continual hiring is bad, bad, bad. It sends all the wrong signals. However, it happens because of there are so many people loyal to him because he was there for them in their darkest hours.
Armie ain’t done none of that shit. Nobody’s stepping up for Armie.
It’s like if I got a new front door instead of fixing the hole in my roof.
Drugs are not the main problem.
I love going to the Caymans and hanging out on the beach. And drinking Shirley Temples.
I don’t actually know if he’ll get another chance. He’s not really been that profitable for Hollywood, and I don’t really get the feeling that many people there like him on a personal level. It shouldn’t come down to that, but in his case, I think those will be major stumbling blocks.
He is a Hammer. He will be fine either way, unfortunately.
I hope he won’t come back. He’s creepy as fuck… But I don’t think he will, he’s not that much of bankable or popular star anyway. Or I live under a rock
I’m really fascinated by his (ex?) wife’s instagram account of life in the Caymans. It’s half vacation and half regular Mom Life. I suppose that’s how people live on tropical islands? Even the walk to school has a perfect beach in the background.
I know they originally went there to ride out the pandemic, but with the kids in school and established lives, will she stay there long-term? Does his family see her and the kids often? Will Armie get an equally huge and gorgeous house on the island if they all stay? And how are we paying for two houses in paradise without ongoing work? It all fell apart before he could get Marvel money.
His family’s money will ensure that he’s set for life – Marvel cash or no.
Armie’s family is very rich, and my understanding is the Cayman Island home belonged to his father — and that it wasn’t much fun for him, living with his dad and stepmother, especially since lockdown in the Cayman’s meant you couldn’t leave your house even to go swim in the ocean.
It may be that Grand-dad is supporting the grandkids and their mom now, since Armie wasn’t really family-safe anymore. I’ve also heard that Armie doesn’t get access to the family fortune due to various feuds, so he needed to work in order to continue living an approximation of the lifestyle he grew up with.
She’s from a wealthy family herself and her cafes are pretty successful.
I can’t even look at this f-cker. Never is too soon.
Not at all excusing his behavior….but I was reading up on his family and honestly it would have been a miracle if he turned out remotely normal. I really think too much wealth leads to sociopathic behavior (or being a sociopath allows you to be ruthless enough to become incredibly wealthy).
I knew a guy that was just like Armie. Wasn’t famous or wealthy by any means, but that was basically the only difference. The scariest part is how their behavior isn’t unique at all.
The Hammer family is sketchy as fuck – through several generations! The men in that family are scary.
No amount of therapy will ever get this guy remotely near to normal, much less safe. Though it looks like he’s working to at least be regarded as the latter.
I completely agree. I wasn’t shocked by any of his behaviors. Many super wealthy men are cheaters, behave horribly and have weird kinks. Men like him are raised to be douchebags.
May to December is too 9 months! Ask John Mulaney’s babymommy.
lmao good call
Hahaha I guarantee she already gave birth but they’re staying quiet to fudge the timeline
