Ginsburg in “On the Basis of Sex” and starred in “Straight White Men” on Broadway.
In 2021, Hammer faced serious abuse allegations, which he denied, describing them as an “online attack”. The scandal led to his departure from upcoming projects and loss of representation. The following year, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office and the LAPD investigated these claims, resulting in no charges due to insufficient evidence.
Early Life and Background
Hammer was born in Santa Monica, California, to Dru Ann, a former bank loan officer, and Michael Armand Hammer, a businessman with ventures in publishing and film/television production. He has a younger brother, Viktor. Hammer’s heritage includes Jewish roots through his great-grandfather, Armand Hammer, an oil tycoon whose parents were Jewish emigrants from the Russian Empire. His background is a tapestry of diverse ancestries, including a Russian-born actress great-grandmother and family ties to Texas and Oklahoma.
Growing up, Hammer lived in Highland Park, Texas, before moving to the Cayman Islands for five years and eventually settling in Los Angeles. His education included time at Faulkner’s Academy, Grace Christian Academy, and Los Angeles Baptist High School. He left school in the eleventh grade to pursue acting but later took courses at UCLA. His decision initially caused a rift with his parents, but they later supported his career choice.
Personal Life
Hammer’s personal life has included marriage to TV personality Elizabeth Chambers in May 2010, whom he met through a mutual friend. The couple has two children. Hammer’s personal challenges include a 2011 arrest for marijuana possession, which was not prosecuted, and he described the incident as a legal misunderstanding. Hammer and Chambers separated in 2020. In 2022, he resided in the Cayman Islands, working in timeshare sales and previously as an apartment complex manager. In 2023, Hammer and Chambers finalized their divorce settlement.
In January 2021, an anonymous Instagram account posted what were alleged to be screenshots of messages from Hammer, which he vehemently denied, labeling them an “online attack”. The messages were said to contain sexual fantasies, and while their authenticity was supported by some, others noted that the messages were selectively edited, omitting the apparent consent from the other parties involved. Hammer’s legal team sought messaging records from Meta to prove the encounters were consensual, but to no avail.
A woman told Page Six of experiencing emotional abuse during her relationship with Hammer, leading to her seeking treatment for PTSD. Another woman alleged physical harm and expressed that Hammer had unusual desires, but Hammer’s attorney refuted these claims, emphasizing the consensual nature of any encounters.
Post-allegations, Hammer exited several projects, including “Shotgun Wedding”, “The Offer”, and “Gaslit”, and was replaced in the film “Next Goal Wins”. His talent agency and publicist severed ties with him.
Additionally, Hammer clarified a misinterpretation concerning a video from his private Instagram, assuring that his “Miss Cayman” reference was not about any pageant participant.
A woman publicly accused Hammer of rape in April 2017, but LAPD’s investigation did not lead to charges. Hammer’s legal team contested the allegations, suggesting the woman pursued Hammer and disclosed the affair to his wife. The accuser, once represented by Gloria Allred, reportedly refused to confirm her claims under oath, leading to Allred’s withdrawal from the case. The LAPD submitted their findings to the L.A. County District Attorney, but the case was considered weak.
In April 2022, Hammer’s attorney commented on the allegations, maintaining Hammer’s stance on the consensual nature of his encounters.
