Armie Hammer breaks silence on sexual abuse allegations: ‘I used people’

Actor says he was sexually abused by his youth pastor at age 13 in first interview since 2021 and denies any criminal wrongdoing

Armie Hammer gave his first interview since the beginning of 2021, when multiple sexual misconduct and abuse allegations were made against the actor, saying all the encounters involved were consensual while acknowledging he was emotionally abusive in his relationships.

I had a very intense and extreme lifestyle," Hammer told Air Mail, a digital newsletter. I would scoop up these women, bring them into it - into this whirlwind of travel and sex and drugs and big emotions flying around - and then as soon as I was done, I'd just drop them off and move on to the next woman, leaving that woman feeling abandoned or used."
