Armie Hammer faced a media storm when private conversations regarding his unusual sexual preferences were revealed. Accusations of BDSM practices and even cannibalism, put him in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Despite the controversy Hammer now talks about gratitude for experiences that profoundly changed his life.
Gratitude for the lessons
In the “Painful Lessons” podcast, Hammer shared his reflections. He described his previous dissatisfaction with life, noting that the scandal forced him to confront deep-seated problems related to self-esteem and self-acceptance:
Whatever people said, whatever happened, now I’m in the stage of being grateful for each of these things (…) I never knew how to show myself love. I never knew how to accept myself
The most sensational accusations against Hammer concerned cannibalism. Hammer addressed these allegations directly, expressing disbelief at the absurdity of the suggestion:
People called me a cannibal. Like I was eating people! What?! Do you know what it takes to be a cannibal? You have to eat people!
Confronting accusations of violence
Apart from the rumors about cannibalism Hammer was also accused of violence, which led to significant personal and professional decline. Describing this period as “ego death” and “career death”Hammer admitted that his life had been completely turned upside down. “A neutron bomb exploded in my life. It destroyed everything.” The entire interview is available on YouTube.
Mental health problems
The consequences of the accusations took a serious toll on Hammer’s mental health. He spoke openly about moments of despair, including about an episode close to suicide. “There were many times when I thought I couldn’t take it anymore,” Hammer confessed. Ultimately, he decided not to give up for the sake of his children.
Despite the dramatic changes in his life, Hammer is now focused on rebuilding and creating a new future. He notes that his career in Hollywood is currently non-existent, but remains optimistic about his personal projects. He is currently working on writing a script.
