Armie Hammer has denied the rumors that Robert Downey Jr. funded his rehabilitation following allegations of emotional abuse, manipulation, sexual assault, and even cannibalism.
The 37-year-old actor, known for his role in "The Social Network," discussed the speculation surrounding the Oscar-winning actor during an interview with Piers Morgan. This conversation comes as Hammer attempts to relaunch his career after facing multiple accusations from various women in 2021.
In the episode of "Piers Morgan Uncensored" on YouTube, Hammer addressed the claims about Downey Jr., stating, "No, he didn’t. He didn’t pay for me to go to rehab." He did acknowledge, however, that the "Oppenheimer" star had "supported" him during a challenging period when he stepped away from acting, but he did not elaborate on the specific forms of assistance he received.
Hammer noted, "I don’t want to involve anyone else in my situation. There are several people who have been tremendously helpful, and I am incredibly grateful." When pressed by Piers for more details, Hammer explained that Robert, who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor this year for his role in the epic drama about the atomic bomb, helped him "in the same way that anyone in Hollywood suffering from addiction—whether it be alcohol, processes, or drugs—would find support when seeking rehabilitation."
In the late ’90s, Robert Downey Jr. spent 15 months in prison on drug and weapon-related charges before making a remarkable comeback in his career. Hammer recalled that Robert told him, "Sit down. Shut up. Everything is going to be okay."
According to a report by Vanity Fair in 2022, Hammer entered a rehabilitation center in Florida to address his struggles with drugs, alcohol, and sex addiction. During his discussion with Piers, Hammer expressed concern that he might not be alive today due to his substance abuse issues if he hadn’t been sidelined after the allegations in 2021.
Regarding his addiction, he remarked, "That’s how these things go. This is enough. Then it’s no longer enough. It’s the dopamine—you know, getting hits in the brain."
These personal revelations shed light on Hammer’s journey and struggles, revealing the profound impact of the experiences he has faced in recent years.
