Armie Hammer’s mother is speaking out.

In her new book Hammered, Dru Hammer addressed the allegations brought against the actor, including an accusation of sexual assault.

“Armie made some bad personal choices that damaged his reputation and were hurtful to women,” she wrote in the book released July 30. “None of his choices were crimes. In fact, after an extensive look into what happened by the Los Angeles Police Department, all of the allegations were dismissed. Armie was cleared of all legal wrongdoing, but his moral wrongdoing was a different matter. The lingering effects of cancel culture endured, along with some broken hearts.”

Dru acknowledged Armie had been unfaithful to his then-wife Elizabeth Chambers before they announced their split in July 2020 after 10 years of marriage, which he's also admitted to.

“Much to his demise, Armie began exchanging messages with several women,” she wrote. “The texting led to infidelities. The three women connected and banded together to go after Armie to destroy him in the press. One of the women charged him with sexual assault and rape.”

Those allegations came from a woman who publicly identified herself as Effie. In March 2021, she said Armie had abused her mentally, emotionally and sexually and that he “violently raped” her four years prior. The Call Me By Your Name alum denied the accusations.

"From day one, Mr. Hammer has maintained that all of his interactions with [Effie]—and every other sexual partner of his for that matter—have been completely consensual, discussed and agreed upon in advance, and mutually participatory,” his attorney Andrew Brettler said in part of a March 2021 statement to E! News. “[Effie's] attention seeking and ill-advised legal bid will only make it more difficult for real victims of sexual violence to get the justice they deserve."

The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to E! News at the time that they were investigating the allegations against Armie. In 2023, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office announced it would not be charging Armie with any crimes.

“In this case, those prosecutors conducted an extremely thorough review, but determined that at this time, there is insufficient evidence to charge Mr. Hammer with a crime,” Tiffiny Blacknell, Director of the Bureau of Communications for the D.A.'s office, told E! News at the time. “Due to the complexity of the relationship and inability to prove a non-consensual, forcible sexual encounter we are unable to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Despite the lack of legal ramifications, though, Dru recalled how Armie “lost all of his work” and was “canceled” after a social media account posted what appeared to be graphic messages from him describing sexual acts and cannibalistic fantasies in January 2021 and how he faced additional accusations of misconduct, including allegations of manipulation and coercing women into BDSM.

Hammer denied the social media allegations, calling them “bulls--t claims” and “vicious and spurious online attacks.” His attorney Brettler also told Page Six at the time that any of Armie’s interactions with any partner “were completely consensual in that they were full discussed, agreed upon, and mutually participatory.”

While Dru didn’t specifically name names, she revealed in her book that she spoke directly to a few of his accusers.

“I met two of the three young women who came against Armie,” she continued. “They were both beautiful and wanted way more than Armie was capable of giving them at the time. They were looking at Armie as Mr. Right. Armie was looking at them as Ms. Right Now. As a mother, my heart was broken for all involved. The covenant God has for two becoming one was not in this equation.”

Dru also shared why she personally decided to not saying anything publicly.

“All of this unfolded at the beginning of covid when people were locked away in their homes,” she wrote. “The feeding frenzy for new information was at an all-time high. It was the perfect storm. Every day, more and more articles were published. Yet, Armie stayed silent. At the time, he had decided not to talk to anyone for the sake of his family."

She, on the other hand, struggled to remain silent.

"The protective mother wanted to call him and say, ‘Let me loose. I saw what puppy dogs these women were with you. How could this be happening?’" she admitted. "Instead, I also decided to stay quiet. It wasn’t appropriate for me to defend Armie even though I fought the urge with ever cell in my body. I prayed and mourned for my son and all involved. I prayed some more.”
