Accused cannibal and rapist Armie Hammer teams up with Bill Maher to casually dismiss the allegations against him

Armie Hammer shrugged off the serious allegations of rape and cannibalism made against him in a very casual conversation with Bill Maher.

The reserved tone of their exchange eventually turned into Maher joking about the heinous crimes Hammer was accused of, sarcastically joking that he should wear a jock strap during the interview. Hammer reiterated that he had been thoroughly investigated and cleared by authorities in two countries, and waved the matter off, saying that this issue was closed, as seen in a video clip shared by TMZ.

Hammer displayed a very relaxed demeanor and did not seem at all bothered by the allegations of sexual harassment made against him by several women. According to Forbes, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office investigated the disgraced actor between February and December 2021, including for a rape in 2017.

“There was an LAPD investigation that lasted two and a half years,” Hammer said.

“They went through phones, emails, eyewitness accounts – for example, they investigated me for two and a half years, at a time when it would have been a real blessing for the LAPD if they could have caught someone like me,” he told Maher.

Hammer subsequently protested his innocence.

“After two and a half years, they concluded there was no evidence that any crime had been committed,” he said.

The actor emphasized what he had gone through during the observation.

“Because of the custody battle, I had to undergo an extensive psychological evaluation in the Cayman Islands, so I had to undergo a comprehensive psychological evaluation that lasted several months. And the report at the end was brilliant. And by the way, they said, ‘He has problems, but he’s not what people say,'” Hammer told Maher.

The allegations against Hammer led to the production of the documentary film “House Of Hammer,” in which some of his alleged victims retold their stories and detailed their accusations against the actor.

Hammer retired from Hollywood when the allegations against him became public and is now trying to revive his career. His last acting role was in Death on the Nile, which was released in February 2022.
