Full statement from Armie Hammer's accuser
I met Armie Hammer on Facebook in 2016 when I was 20 years old.
I fell in love with him instantly. The relationship progressed rapidly and the emotions from both sides became really intense.
Looking back, it is now clear to me he was employing manipulation tactics in order to exert control over me, until I started to lose myself. He would often test my devotion to him, slyly removing and crossing my boundaries, as he became increasingly more violent.
He abused me mentally, emotionally, and sexually.
On April 24th, 2017, Armie Hammer violently raped me for over four hours in Los Angeles, during which he repeatedly slammed my head against a wall, bruising my face. He also committed other acts of violence against me to which I did not consent. For example, he beat my feet with a crop so they would hurt with every step I took for the next week. During those four hours, I tried to get away but he wouldn't let me. I thought that he was going to kill me. He then left with no concern for my well-being.
I was completely in shock and couldn't believe someone I loved did that to me. I tried so hard to justify his actions, even to the point of responding to him in a way that did not reflect my true feelings.
During and since this attack, I have lived in fear of him and for a long time I tried to dismiss his actions towards me as a twisted form of love.
Now that he no longer has any power over me, I have come to understand that the immense mental hold he held over me was incredibly damaging on many levels.

Full statement from Hammer's lawyer
Effie's own correspondence with Mr. Hammer undermines and refutes her outrageous allegations. As recently as July 18, 2020, Effie sent graphic texts to Mr. Hammer telling him what she wanted him to do to her. Mr. Hammer responded making it clear that he did not want to maintain that type of relationship with her. The screenshot below is just one of hundreds Effie sent to Mr. Hammer.
'It was never Mr. Hammer's intention to embarrass or expose Effie's fetishes or kinky sexual desires, but she has now escalated this matter to another level by hiring a civil lawyer to host a public press conference. With the truth on his side, Mr. Hammer welcomes the opportunity to set the record straight.
'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. 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.'
