In an Air Mail exclusive, the embattled actor denies criminal wrongdoing but says, 'I'm here to own my mistakes, take accountability for the fact that I was an asshole, that I was selfish, that I used people to make me feel better, and when I was done, moved on.'

The bigger bombshells come as Hammer tells Kirchick that his interest in BDSM and sexual power dynamics are the result of childhood sexual abuse at the hands of a youth pastor who allegedly molested him when he was 13 years old. He also revealed, for the first time, his suicidal intent in the Cayman Islands in February 2021 by swimming as far out in the ocean as he could and hoping he would die as a result of a tragedy like drowning, a shark attack or boat accident.

Of the alleged childhood trauma, Hammer said, “What that did for me was it introduced sexuality into my life in a way that it was completely out of my control. I was powerless in the situation. I had no agency in the situation. Sexuality was introduced to me in a scary way where I had no control. My interests then went to: I want to have control in the situation, sexually.

The public first became aware of Hammer’s troubles in January 2021 when several women came forward with allegations of misconduct and messages containing BDSM fantasies and cannibalistic fetishism. The most damning allegations came from a woman tied to a social media account called House of Effie. She alleged that Hammer had sexually assaulted her and that they had been in a years-long relationship.

The Hammer headlines spread far and wide, and he was dropped by his talent agency WME, his personal publicist and exited high-profile acting projects including

No one cares about this ultra rich cannibal rapist white guy trying to get back into movies.

You forgot to mention his *victims* lied and you let them lie.

No!

Hes hot, so i forgive him.

Who gaf? What has he done to make amends with the women he hurt? What has he done to help others? What has he done to take real accountability. Being hurt yourself does not excuse hurting others.

Obviously half the people didn't open the link, but they wanted to comment anyway...povero mondo

As someone who a women tried to accuse of assault and video cameras prove my innocence, I honestly don’t believe his so called victims and I support Armie. Women can be lying cockroaches.

misconduct allegations Hollywood loves to put white abusive men in a good light.

Why is anyone allowing this monster any press?

I hope he never hurt anyone else again. And I don’t want him back in Hollywood.

His team is using the dirty tactic of assembling a social media force to attack and vilify the women involved. It worked for JD.

🎼🎵'And if my thought-dreams could be seen, they'd probably put my head in a guillotine. . .'🎵 - Bob Dylan In the grander scheme of things, there are worse scoundrels in this world being lionized (Donald Trump and Alex Jones, anyone?). Get up, Armie Hammer, and Good Luck!!

He is grotesque 🤮

No, he doesn't get let back in. He said I was abused, so I became an abuser and then I became suicidal so pity me. He can go work construction again. We don't need to see him back on the screen.

He literallly made a movie about pedophilia and won an Oscar. Hollyywoood is to blame for here as well.

Oh…so the victim card.

RDJ is such a hero irl 😭😭😭 I hope Armie Hammer is doing way better this time & whoever is that youth pastor is rot in hell 😩

Do not give this time and attention. No industry trade publication should be participating in this. It's deeply destructive and a repudiation of everything MeToo stands for.

EXCUSES ...... SHAME ON HIM

It is admirable that RobertDowneyJr has used his experience to help others. I ran into him at a coffee shop that doubles as an AA meeting point and he was such a great guy! Love him❤️

Do I think he is an actual Cannibal? No. It was probably a drug-fueled fantasy. He is really only guilty of cheating on his wife and being creepy. The women he dated played along with the weird fantasy until they realized he would never leave his wife for them.

Love this! 👍🏽

Turns out I just don't care about him.

Took him a long ass time to do so

I knew he was innocent.

Took over a year to come up with the priest excuse? Ok my guy.

Great PR at work, citing his own abuse to garner sympathy.

Of course he’s breaking his silence. He went from being on everyone’s radar to nobody wanting him. It’s great that he got help for the substance abuse, but it kinda sounds like he’s making excuses for his behaviors and wants everyone to feel sorry for him.

I swam out as far as I could... But then I still had the energy to swim all the way back. 🤡

We have been saying all this for a 2yrs.. being a bit of an arsehole doesn't make you a rapist or an abusive person. Men & women do it everyday using people for sex. Take note houseofeffie wouldn't comment but I'll bet she will smear him again over SM this women is a born liar.

Yes You are guilty in this insane smear campaign and 'the Hammer headlines spread far and wide' too. Were all these clickbaity articles with unchecked things worthy of ruining life of innocent man and his family? ArmieHammer supportarmiehammer

Pity you lot didn’t do your job and interview him yourself 2 years ago…

He shouldn't 'take accountability' for not being a mind reader and he's being too kind with his words, unlike the trashiness, hypocrisy & childish scheming of all the women taking advantage of this s*show. Apart from that, I'm very proud of him. supportarmiehammer

Suicide by shark is certainly something

I never understood the cannibal thing, i mean come on
