Armie Hammer, the 38-year-old actor who was accused of fantasizing about cannibalism, revealed on the first episode of his new podcast “Armie HammerTime” that he now “likes” the cannibal allegations. He discussed how the accusations created more noise than anything else and reflected on how people believed the rumors without giving him a chance to defend himself.
Tom Arnold, Hammer’s first podcast guest, praised him for working on himself in response to the scandal. Hammer expressed how the accusations led him to not care about getting his job back but instead focusing on personal growth.
The cannibalism allegations emerged in 2021, leading to a public scandal involving two women Hammer allegedly had affairs with while married to his ex-wife. The LA District Attorney investigated the claims but ultimately found insufficient evidence to charge Hammer.
Hammer’s podcast aims to host conversations with people who have acquired wisdom he wishes to learn from. He recently made headlines for selling his truck at Carmax due to financial struggles, highlighting a shift in his public image since the scandal. The actor denied the accusations and expressed a sense of humor about the situation now that he has gained distance and perspective.
Overall, Hammer has embraced the public scrutiny, finding it liberating to no longer be preoccupied with his public image. Despite the controversies, he remains focused on personal growth and conducting meaningful conversations on his podcast.
