Armie Hammer first gained recognition in Hollywood in 2010 after playing the double roles of Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss in Aaron Sorkin’s cult movie The Social Network. In 2017, he co-starred with Timothée Chalamet in the Oscar-nominated love romance Call Me By Your Name, which marked his important breakthrough performance. However, Hammer’s Hollywood career was destroyed after sexual assault claims against him (which he firmly denies) appeared in January 2021. House Of Hammer, a new docuseries, claims to expose all of the actor’s purported secrets as well as those of his family.
The actor, whose real name is Armand Douglas Hammer, is the great-grandson of oil mogul Armand Hammer. No, the family has no connection to the Arm & Hammer company, but they did once hold stock in it. The family is one of those examples of American success from the 20th century. The son of Russian immigrants, Armand Senior, was born in New York City in 1898. The businessman was the first in his family to attend college and acquired one of the highest net worths in the United States by the late 1950s as a result of his investments in the oil boom.
The charges against Armie Hammer, however, are just the most recent in a long line of horrific chapters woven across the family’s history. The family Hammer has long kept dark secrets. The documentary series promises that it will delve into both Armie’s backstory and the history of the Hammer family.

Armie Hammer’s 2021 Story
In January 2021, an unknown Instagram account publicly released what appeared and sounded to be direct messages and audio chats with Hammer, in which he talks about a fetish for cannibalism and blood drinking. More of Hammer’s former lovers came forward after reading the unknown complaints and said they shared similar encounters with the actor. In several screenshots shared on social media by purported victims, Hammer could be seen detailing horrific rape fantasies.
The trailer introduces us to the three major individuals involved in the documentary: Julia Morrison, Courtney Vucekovich, and Casey Hammer, where they each express their own experiences. They play voice notes that appear to be from The Social Network actor that reveals graphic sexual fantasies and fetishes and provide images of texts that the actor is said to have exchanged. In the trailer, Courtney Vucekovich is heard saying: “At first, I thought everything was perfect, but then things changed. He pushes you by gradually pushing your limits. He has full ownership of you”.
House Of Hammer Plot
Despite taking time away from Hollywood since the allegations came to light, Hammer’s scandals are the focus of a forthcoming Discovery+ docuseries, which also uncovers his chilling family history. The three-part series includes interviews with women who have accused the actor of sexual assault, which he has always adamantly denied, as well as some of the supposedly abusive text messages he allegedly wrote to them regarding his cannibalistic desires and sexual obsessions.
Hammer continues to deny all accusations of abuse through his attorneys, insisting that his interactions with the alleging women were consensual. According to Reuters, Hammer’s lawyer, Andrew Brettler, stated in a statement that all of his encounters with Effie — and every other partner of his for that matter — have been fully discussed, consensual, and agreed upon beforehand.
The Hammer family as a whole is also explored in House of Hammer, including the actor’s divorce from his longtime spouse Elizabeth Chambers; his great-great-incarceration grandfather’s for first-degree murder; and sexual abuse allegations, legal disputes, criminal accusations, and more. It will also be looked into how the Hammer family is connected to American politicians, British royalty, Russian communists, and American oil tycoons.
