Actor Armie Hammer accused of rape, his lawyer calls allegations “outrageous”

On Thursday, a young woman accused American actor Armie Hammer of raping her four years ago in Los Angeles, and police said she was investigating the case.

Hammer’s lawyer called the allegation “outrageous” and said all of the actor’s sex was “completely consensual.”

The rape allegations followed accusations by several women on social media in January of the 34-year-old actor of emotional and physical abuse.

Hamer said at the time that he would not respond to what he called “fierce attacks on the Internet” but that his actors had severed ties with him and had been excluded from two Hollywood film projects.

A woman who introduced herself as Evie said in a video conference Thursday that she was in a romantic relationship that spanned four years with the actor, who was married to TV presenter Elizabeth Chambers at the time.

“On April 24, 2017, Armie Hammer violently raped me for over four hours in Los Angeles, during which time he repeatedly hit my head against the wall and bruised my face,” Evie said. , 24, to journalists.

Evie’s lawyer Gloria Allred said the woman provided evidence to police.

A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department said: “Armie Hammer is the aforementioned suspect in an alleged sexual assault investigation” which opened on February 3, 2021.

Hammer’s attorney, Andrew Brittler, said in a statement that the woman’s private correspondence with her client “undermines and refutes his outrageous allegations.”

“From day one, Mr. Hammer confirmed that all of his interactions with (Evie) and all other sexual partners were completely consensual and discussed and agreed upon in advance.”
