After ten years of marriage, Elizabeth Chambers and Armie Hammer divorced in 2020. She described the “House of Hammer” documentary series on Hammer’s life and family as “heartbreaking.”
According to Chambers, “It was clearly terrible on so many levels and really traumatic.” Nevertheless, it does exist.
All we can do, Chambers said, “is use this as an opportunity to learn and listen, and hopefully process and heal in every way, because the past is the past.
After sending her children off at school one day, Chambers said she decided to watch the series even though she hadn’t meant to. She claimed to have “my support system surrounding me” while she watched.
She said that for her children, Harper, 7, and Ford, 5, the series is “not suitable at this time.”
She continued by saying that she was contacted by the docuseries crew but turned them down.
They contacted out, but Chambers said that along the process, the children and our family have always come first, and it was not in keeping with her intentions for them.
The series’ claims of systematic abuse by the males in the Hammer family, going all the way back to Armie Hammer’s great, great grandpa Julius Hammer, Chambers said, “surprised” her.
In response to his astonishment, Chambers stated, “I guess that’s to be anticipated.”
