Casey Hammer, aunt to Armie Hammer and member of the controversial Hammer family, is spilling dark family secrets in the upcoming “House Of Hammer” docuseries. “It was a very powerful, influential and famous family that on the outside had to look perfect,” Casey says, as she prepares for the new series to premiere on September 2. “In all honesty, I started it as a journal for myself, as a way to self-heal, because I was trying to make sense of everything I had experienced growing up,” Casey tells ET Canada of the motivations behind the Discovery+ series, which will dive into the notorious family’s sordid and dark history. “I’m also a Hammer.
