I was vaguely aware of sex accusations against actor Armie Hammer, but I had no appreciation for how twisted they were until I watched the trailer for House of Hammer. Whoa. Now I see why this is being labeled as a “highly anticipated” docuseries.
House of Hammer starts streaming on Friday, September 2 on discovery+. The three-part docuseries chronicles the deeply troubling accusations leveled against the critically acclaimed actor. It also explores the dark, twisted legacy of the Hammer family dynasty.
“The accusations of rape and abuse brought against Armie Hammer in the last few years are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Hammer family. With House of Hammer, we witness truly disturbing details and sinister secrets that money and power couldn’t hide forever,” said Jason Sarlanis, President of Crime and Investigative Content, Linear and Streaming. “This documentary provides an important platform for the incredibly courageous women who came forward to share their stories, and we hope their courage inspires others to continue meaningful conversations around abuse in our society.”
Let’s take a closer look at what House of Hammer is about. Warning: Sensitive subject matter ahead. (Especially in the trailer, which also contains strong language.)

Do you think Armie Hammer will ever act again or is that it? Curtain closed. Too big a scandal to bounce back from.

Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
