Is the world ready for an Armie Hammer comeback? We're about to find out.
The controversial Call Me By Your Namestar left Hollywood after he was accused by several women of abuse, sexual abuse, and manipulation. As of Monday, October 28, however, the actor is officially staging a comeback by launching a new podcast.
Hammer announced this new podcast, called The Armie HammerTime Podcast, in a video shared via Instagram. He explained:
"Hi guys, me again. So, I've got a little bit of news. I think some of you are going to love this and some of you are going to f*cking hate it. But basically, I'm starting a podcast. The original idea of the podcast was sort of the concept that throughout the course of the day, every single person that you interact with knows at least one thing that you don't. So teach me what that one thing is."
He continued, "But it's also a journal of sorts. I've been gone for the last four yeast, and now I'm back, you know? What are you gonna do? So it's going to be a sort of journal or chronicling of putting my life back together."
"Like I said, some of you are gonna love this, some of you are gonna hate this," Hammer concluded. "But tune in! We're gonna have interesting conversations with interesting people. And yeah, let you into my world a little bit."
In 2021, several women accused Hammer of sexually harassing them with violent sexual fantasies related to cannibalism. One woman who accused him of violent sexual abuse also stated that she was afraid Hammer would kill her. Another woman accused him of raping her in 2017.
Hammer has denied that he forced anyone to do anything against their will, and said he has a "very intense and extreme lifestyle" that involves heavy BDSM. According to The Social Network actor, however, all encounters he had with women were "completely consensual" and "discussed and agreed upon in advance."
The first guest on Hammer's podcast is actor Tom Arnold. Are you tuning in?
