Sept. 22, 2022 "Armie Hammer Accuser Slams Elizabeth Chambers' New Interview Where She Says Hammer Is 'Healing'": Today I found this article by Charmaine Patterson on People:
One of Armie Hammer's accusers — the woman known only as Effie, whose rape allegations against Hammer sparked an LAPD investigation into the actor — is calling out Elizabeth Chambers on her House of Effie Instagram account.
In a new E! News cover story, Chambers said she and Hammer "are in a really great place," adding in part that they speak frequently and that their divorce isn't finalized.
She said that Hammer "has been focused on his healing," adding that she's "here to support that process."
On Wednesday, Effie — whose allegations against Hammer set into motion an investigation into the Call Me By Your Name star last March — shared a series of messages on her Instagram Story allegedly between her and Chambers in which the TV personality appears to encourage Effie to go public with claims against her ex.
"I'm obtaining a copy of the NDA he used and think there's an error in it, which would make it null and void. As soon as I confirm, can you post?" one message allegedly from Chambers read.
In another message, Chambers seemingly tells Effie to "stay focused" on "getting the stories on record. Not just the internet."
After Chambers allegedly asked Effie if she's hired a lawyer, Effie replies, "I'm feeling a tad bit suicidal and don't have time for this rn sorry."
Chambers appeared to tell Effie, "I really need custody of my precious children" and asked her to file a declaration, vowing that it will be kept private.
"I don't want to pressure you, but your insight is much more in depth than the others we have," another message, said to be from Chambers, said.
She later allegedly added that a declaration from Effie could get Hammer put in jail.
Effie concluded her Instagram Stories by writing, "Just some things to keep in mind before anyone else keeps wishing rapists 'healing'."
In a statement obtained by PEOPLE on Thursday, a rep for Chambers says, "Given the extent and nature of allegations that were made, Elizabeth sought to determine the veracity of those allegations. She was very sensitive to all parties involved. The safety and well-being of their children remains her priority."
In July 2020, Chambers, 40, filed for divorce from Hammer, citing irreconcilable differences.
Months later, the actor became embroiled in controversy after messages allegedly from the actor detailing violent sexual fantasies were leaked online. He was later accused of rape, which he denied.
Effie, whose account first anonymously shared allegations against Hammer, accused him of sexual assault in a four-hour incident that she said occurred in 2017. The then 24-year-old appeared in a press conference alongside her attorney Gloria Allred.
Effie, who chose to keep her legal name private during the conference, further accused Hammer of "mentally, emotionally and sexually" abusing her during their on-and-off four-year relationship. Hammer was married to Chambers at the time of the alleged affair.
In a previous statement provided to PEOPLE, Hammer's lawyer denied the rape allegation and maintained that his relationship with Effie was "completely consensual, discussed and agreed upon in advance, and mutually participatory."

Armie Hammer's Accuser Slams Elizabeth Chambers' New Interview About Hammer (people.com)
Jun. 16, 2024 "Armie Hammer Speaks Out About Cannibal Sex Fantasy Scandal: ‘How am I Going to Be a Cannibal?!’ | Video": Today I found this article by Stephanie Kaloi on Yahoo:
Armie Hammer addressed his 2021 sex scandal that resulted in accusations against the actor ranging from rape to cannibal sex fantasies on family friend Tyler Ramsey’s podcast “Painful Lessons.”
The actor responded with incredulity about the public response to the latter charge, telling Ramsey, “People called me a cannibal. Like I ate people. What?! You know what you have to do to be a cannibal? You have to eat people! How am I going to be a cannibal?! Like, it was bizarre.”
Hammer also said that he’s in a 12-step program following an “ego death” he went through after the accusations surfaced. “I was drunk. I was high and I was acting like an idiot all the time,” he explained. “It was an ego death, a career death. A neutron bomb went off in my life. It killed off [everything].”
Rehab has changed him, he continued. After he repeated a 2023 revelation that he experienced sexual abuse as a child, Hammer added that he attempted suicide (kind of). “I was getting hate, before I knew how to love myself, so it just went right in. So there were points where I was just like, I can’t take this anymore. And I hit really dark, low points. There was a time where I was standing on the shore, and I just looked out at the ocean and thought, yep, this is it.”
“I swam out really f–king far,” Hammer continued. “And I thought, ‘You know what, like, I’m done. Like, there’s nothing back there for me.’ And I got out really far, and then was just laying there. And I mean, it’s kind of like a half-assed suicide attempt, but I was there, and I was in it. And it seemed like the only option for me.”
“And then an image of my kids popped into my head, standing on the shore saying, ‘Where’s Dad?’ And I was like, I can’t do that to my kids. So I swum back,” Hammer explained.
In terms of what behavior the actor appeared to believes constituted “acting like an idiot,” in March 2021, a woman who went by the name Effie accused Hammer of violently raping her for over four hours. She further said the actor banged her head into a wall repeatedly and beat her feet with a crop.
“During those four hours, I tried to get away but he wouldn’t let me. I thought that he was going to kill me. He then left with no concern for my well-being,” Effie said at the time. “I was completely in shock and couldn’t believe someone I loved did that to me. I tried so hard to justify his actions, even to the point of responding to him in a way that did not reflect my true feelings.”
Hammer was married to ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers at the time.
In a February 2023 interview with Air Mail, Hammer said, “I had a very intense and extreme lifestyle. I would scoop up these women, bring them into it — into this whirlwind of travel and sex and drugs and big emotions flying around — and then as soon as I was done, I’d just drop them off and move on to the next woman, leaving that woman feeling abandoned or used.”
He also claimed to be guilty of “emotional abuse.” As he put it, “I’m here to own my mistakes, take accountability for the fact that I was an a--hole, that I was selfish, that I used people to make me feel better, and when I was done, moved on. And treated people more poorly than they should have been treated.”
In May 2023, the Los Angeles DA’s office declined to charge Hammer with sexual assault. Bureau of Communications director Tiffany Blackwell explained, “Sexual assault cases are often difficult to prove, which is why we assign our most experienced prosecutors to review them. In this case, those prosecutors conducted an extremely thorough review, but determined that at this time, there is insufficient evidence to charge Mr. Hammer with a crime.”
“As prosecutors, we have an ethical responsibility to only charge cases that we can prove beyond a reasonable doubt. We know that it is hard for women to report sexual assault.
Even when we cannot move forward with a prosecution, our victim service representatives will be available to those who seek our victim support services. Due to the complexity of the relationship and inability to prove a nonconsensual, forcible sexual encounter, we are unable to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt,” Blackwell added.

My opinion: From this article, Hammer seemed to have apologized by admitting he behaved poorly:
In a February 2023 interview with Air Mail, Hammer said, “I had a very intense and extreme lifestyle. I would scoop up these women, bring them into it — into this whirlwind of travel and sex and drugs and big emotions flying around — and then as soon as I was done, I’d just drop them off and move on to the next woman, leaving that woman feeling abandoned or used.”
He also claimed to be guilty of “emotional abuse.” As he put it, “I’m here to own my mistakes, take accountability for the fact that I was an a--hole, that I was selfish, that I used people to make me feel better, and when I was done, moved on. And treated people more poorly than they should have been treated.”

"You never look good when you are trying to make someone else look bad."- Unknown
Cham: Sometimes people need to be exposed for who they are hahah or maybe I should stop being petty
Tracy Au: There's a difference between trying to make someone look bad, and exposing them for who they are. It's like those #MeToo accusers and victims, they are plainly telling everybody about the perpetrators. They're not trying to make them look bad.
