A new documentary reveals some intimate voice messages reportedly left by Armie Hammer to women he was dating.

In January of 2021, a series of allegations began to emerge against famed Hollywood actor Armie Hammer.

While the actor has consistently denied the validity of these allegations, it did result in Hammer either walking away from several high profile projects, or as is the case with Taika Waititi’s upcoming sports comedy Next Goal Wins, having his part entirely re-shot.

Additionally, his talent agency dropped him as a client, while in April 2022, Hammer’s attorney Andrew Brettler stated that:”There was never a case. A lot of people think that there was. There was never a lawsuit, never a criminal proceeding. The media are obsessed with that matter. It never turned into litigation or into a criminal charge against anyone. That was a misconception.”

In new docu-series House of Hammer, a number of women reveal intimate details and messages that Hammer shared with them, while family members claim that there is a history of scandal within the Hammer family.

The documentary’s official synopsis is as follows:

“Debauchery. Deceit. Abuse. Addiction. Corruption. Over the course of five generations, the men in the Hammer family have more secrets and scandals than any vault can contain. Armie Hammer’s alleged crimes are only the tip of the iceberg.

“Through a trove of archive and interviews from survivors and family members, the dark and twisted secrets of the Hammer family come to light. Behind the money and power lies a dysfunctional dynasty with its male characters exhibiting all the devastating consequences of privilege gone wild.”

The three-part documentary is set to air in the States on Friday, 2 September on Discovery+, which you can access right here.
