“If I speak to you, it is because I admit my mistakes, I take responsibility. I used people to make myself feel better. And when I was done with them, I moved on. Yes, I was emotionally abusive,” emphasizes the 36-year-old actor, who admits to sadomasochism, but rejects any aggressive behavior. “I was dating these young women in my twenties, I was about ten years older than them,” he said. And let me admit: “I was a successful actor at the time. They were happy just to be with me and said yes to things they might not have said if they were themselves. This is a notorious imbalance of power.”

Armie Hammer attributes his tendencies to the abuse he suffered as a teenager at the hands of a youth pastor in his parish.

“I was 13 years old. It brought sexuality into my life in a way I couldn’t control. I was helpless in the face of the situation. I had no power over the situation. Sexuality presented itself to me in a frightening way. After that, I always wanted to be in control.” The hero of “The Man from UNCLE” allegedly confessed to a deceased friend and godmother, who confirmed his testimony.

Journalists tried to contact the women who exposed Armie Hammer and posted messages with his cannibal fetishes.

But no one wanted to continue, Air Mail reports. The publication also questions the testimony of one of them.

The actor continues that the “scene without consent” was the idea of ​​the girl who accuses him of rape.

Armie Hammer says the rape he is accused of by Efrosyna Angelova was just a sex game that was her idea.

“This alleged rape was a scene that was her idea,” Hammer said. “She planned all the details, right down to which Starbucks I would see her at, how I would follow her home, how her front door would be open and I would walk in, and we engaged in what is known as the ‘consensual non-consensual scene.’ .’, reports the Daily Mail.

In this interview, Armie Hammer says he tried to kill himself in February 2021 during a cruise to the Cayman Islands, where his wife and children live.

“I went swimming in the sea. I kept expecting to drown. Sickness, a shark attack, a collision with a boat. But it didn’t happen. Then I thought about my children, whom I left on the beach. I came back. I could not make them go through this.” – he remembers.

Heir to a family of oil tycoons and philanthropists, he admits to suffering from a long-term addiction to banned substances, which led to his entering a rehabilitation center in 2021.

“These excesses greatly affected my relationships and problems.” Speaking of his recovery, he thanks Robert Downey Jr., the star of Iron Man, for helping him morally and financially, paying for his treatment and offering him a place to stay.

“Robert Downey Jr. is one of those people who overcame chaos and found salvation. This is what is missing from our current cancellation culture. As soon as someone does something wrong, they fly out. There is no atonement for a mistake.”

When asked about his current projects, Armie Hammer assures “that he is fine and that he has found his balance.”

“I’m close to my kids in a way I couldn’t be before.”

Currently, the actor does not plan to return to the set.

The man, who had to turn down appearances in The Proposal, The Godfather and the romantic comedy Shotgun Wedding with Jennifer Lopez, says he intends to focus on rehabilitating himself and his companions from the same problem.

“My recovery depends on others. I needed help and now I can provide it,” he concluded.

Efrosyna Angelova accused the American actor, known for such films as “The Network” and “Call Me by Your Name”, that he raped her for more than four hours in 2017, during which he smashed her head against the wall. At the time, the actor’s lawyer said the allegations were “scandalous” and that all of the actor’s sexual relations were “completely consensual.”

Several women have also accused the actor of emotional and physical abuse on social media.
