Armie Hammer Sells His Truck Because ‘I Can’t Afford the Gas Anymore’ and Starts ‘New Life in Los Angeles’
variety.comEthan Shanfeld Armie Hammer announced he is starting “a new life in Los Angeles” in a video posted to Instagram Tuesday, in which he says he must sell his truck because he “can’t afford the gas anymore.” “I’ve been back in L.A.
for a couple of weeks now,” Hammer says in the video, taken at a California CarMax location. “This is my truck. I bought this for myself in 2017 as a Christmas gift for myself, because I’ve had pickup trucks for a long time, and I have loved this truck intensely and taken it camping and across country multiple times and on long road trips. … Since being back in L.A., I have put about $400 or $500 worth of gas in it, and I can’t afford it.” Hammer was living (and working as a timeshare salesman) in the Cayman Islands after he became a pariah in Hollywood due to sexual abuse allegations brought against him in 2021.
As a result of the allegations — which included rape, engaging in cannibalism fantasies and coercing partners into BDSM scenarios — the “Social Network” and “Call Me by Your Name” actor exited several projects, was dropped by his publicist and agent and became the subject of an LAPD investigation.
Ultimately, no criminal charges were brought against Hammer, who has denied the allegations and maintained that all relationships were consensual.
