Armie Hammer’s mother, Dru Hammer, has come out in support of her son, claiming that he did not commit the crimes of rape or cannibalism as alleged by several women. She acknowledges that Armie was morally wrong in some of his actions, but denies the extreme accusations made against him. Effie Angelova accused Armie of raping her mentally, emotionally, and sexually during their affair, while another ex, Courtney Vucekovich, claimed he expressed a desire to eat her. Influencer Paige Lorenze also alleged that Armie used a knife to carve into her skin and engaged in branding her.
Leaked text messages revealed Armie discussing cannibalistic tendencies, including admitting to consuming a living animal’s heart. Dru believes that the scandal unfolded during the COVID-19 pandemic, creating a “feeding frenzy” for information. Despite temptation to speak up in defense of her son, Dru followed Armie’s lead in refraining from talking to the press, trusting that the truth would eventually come out. Lorenze previously claimed that Dru warned her about Armie’s dark side, indicating that she was aware of her son’s issues.
Dru acknowledges that her son was wrong in taking advantage of the younger women involved, considering his position as an older actor and their status as influencers. She believes that Armie was in the wrong morally but asserts that he did not commit any criminal acts. Despite the lack of criminal charges against Armie, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office stated that there was insufficient evidence for prosecution in the sexual assault cases. Dru commends her son for his recent interview with Piers Morgan, where he admitted to some actions but denied the more serious allegations.
Armie’s mother praises him for his honesty and openness in addressing the accusations made against him. She values his willingness to share his side of the story and acknowledges his faults while supporting his assertion of innocence regarding rape and cannibalism. Dru stands by her son despite his admitted moral failings, expressing pride in him for facing the allegations head-on. She emphasizes the importance of honesty in dealing with difficult situations and appreciates Armie’s handling of the controversy. Dru remains supportive of her son’s efforts to address the allegations and defend his reputation.
