“I’m here to talk about what happened in my relationship with Armie Hammer.” With that one line, the trailer for the new docuseries House of Hammer grabs you from the jump.
Courtney Vucekovich, one of the women who has come forward alleging that Hammer, the star of films like The Social Network and Call Me By Your Name, had been sexually abusive and expressed thoughts of cannibalism, is seen talking to the camera. Other participants include Julia Morrison, another woman who accused Hammer of similar disturbing behavior; and Casey Hammer, Armie’s aunt and a whistleblower who detailed generations of secrets and shocking behavior in the Hammer family’s dysfunctional history.
The accounts of these women, even just the ones that are included in the documentary’s trailer, are shocking. Morrison brings out her phone to share a text message allegedly sent from Armie. She admits she still hasn’t “really digested” it.
