Throughout his fall from grace, Armie Hammer has repeatedly denied any claims of cruel or illegal behavior, asserting through his attorneys that his more extreme sexual encounters with partners were fully consensual. Amidst the many allegations, another woman accused him of sexually assaulting her in 2017, prompting an investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department. Hammer — a descendant of American business magnate Armand Hammer — ultimately was not charged with any criminal acts due to a lack of verifiable evidence.

In the years since the first accusations arose, various outlets have reexamined Hammer’s past quotes for new meaning. In a 2013 interview with Playboy (via E! News), he described himself as a “dominant lover” before he met his then-wife, saying, “I liked the grabbing of the neck and the hair and all that. But then you get married and your sexual appetites change. And I mean that for the better—it’s not like I’m suffering in any way. But you can’t really pull your wife’s hair.” Per The Independent, Hammer also chose the infamous Marquis de Sade — the man whose acts inspired the creation of the word “sadism” — as the historical figure he’d most like to have dinner with, in an interview with Netflix Brazil.

Though there haven’t been any lasting legal ramifications to the many allegations leveraged against Hammer, his acting career was effectively frozen when they began pouring in. For the last few years, his name hasn’t appeared in any notable credits aside from “Death on the Nile.”
