\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tArmie Hammer is no stranger to controversy and backlash, having raised eyebrows for his questionable behavior and comments as far back as the early days of his career. The actor came under fire in January 2021 after multiple women took to social media to share screenshots of graphic direct messages that he had allegedly sent [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been back in L.A. for a couple of weeks now,\u201d Hammer, who reportedly resided in the Cayman Islands after his divorce<\/a> from Elizabeth Chambers<\/strong> was finalized in June 2023, said. \u201cI got a new car, it\u2019s tiny, it\u2019s a hybrid, I\u2019m probably going to put about ten bucks in gas in it a month.\u201d<\/p>\nHammer explained that he was reluctant to sell the vehicle as it has provided some special memories over the years.<\/p>\n
\n<\/blockquote>\n\u201c[I\u2019ve] taken it camping and across [the] country multiple times and on long road trips,\u201d he said before adding that his children, daughter Harper, 9, and son Ford, 7, were \u201cnot happy about this,\u201d telling the camera, \u201cThey\u2019re, like, \u2018Dad all of our memories in the truck.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Hammer revealed that he had not informed his children of his final decision. \u201cSo I haven\u2019t told them yet. But I\u2019ll tell them and they\u2019ll be fine, kids are adaptable,\u201d the actor said. \u201cI just keep telling myself that parking is going to be easier and gas is going to be cheaper.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hammer, who turns 39 on Wednesday, August 28, attracted global headlines in January 2021 when a slew of unverified messages attributed to the actor surfaced via social media.<\/p>\n
The messages detailed sexual fantasies of cannibalism and rape. At the time, Hammer called the claims, \u201cbulls\u2014t.\u201d (The Los Angeles County District Attorney\u2019s Office confirmed in June 2023 that it was not moving forward<\/a> with the sexual assault charges after a two-year investigation.)<\/p>\nDuring an episode of the \u201cPainful Lessons\u201d podcast that aired on June 17, Hammer candidly addressed the cannibalism claims, denying the behavior once again. \u201cPeople called me a cannibal, and everyone believed them,\u201d Hammer said during the podcast. \u201cThey\u2019re like, \u2018Yep, that guy ate people.\u2019 Like, what? What are you talking about? Do you know what you have to do to be a cannibal? You have to eat people. How am I going to be a cannibal? It was bizarre.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hammer added that time has helped him reflect on the controversy in a positive way and that he is now appreciative of the experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s almost like a neutron bomb went off in my life,\u201d he said. \u201cIt killed me, it killed my ego, it killed all the people around me that I thought were my friends that weren\u2019t \u2014 all of those people, in a flash, went away. But the buildings were still standing. I\u2019m still here, I still have my health, and I\u2019m really grateful for that.\u201d<\/p>\n
