Armie Hammer Accuser on ‘House of Hammer’ Producers: ‘The Way They’ve Been Exploiting My Trauma Is Disgusting’

told the LA Times on Friday that, when she was first approached by Hakami and Hobbs, she responded to them in writing, saying, “It is extremely inappropriate of you to exploit such a tragic, vulnerable time in many people’s lives, with no regard whatsoever for our healing process and privacy.”Despite her refusal and her letter, the docuseries includes photos of her Instagram account where she described her assault and footage from a 2021 press conference in which she tearfully said Hammer “violently raped” her for four hours in 2017. “The way they’ve been exploiting my trauma is disgusting,” she told the Times in Friday’s statement, comparing the lack of permission nearly as much of a violation as Hammer’s alleged abuses: “When I keep screaming ‘no’ and they keep going, saying they don’t need my permission, they remind me of Armie,” she said.Publicists for the series did not respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.Hammer’s attorney Andrew Brettler has previously denied Effie’s claims, saying that anything that transpired between her and the actor — “and every other sexual partner of his for that matter” — was “completely consensual, discussed and agreed upon in advance, and mutually participatory.”The case against Hammer began in early 2021 when Effie, who is the only woman who has publicly accused the actor of rape, began to share on Instagram her experience with him.
