It was on January 12th of 2021 that the first allegations against Armie Hammer surfaced, when an anonymous person behind the Instagram account named “houseofeffie” made claims of sexual abuse, violence and cannibalism. Only days later, more women were sharing stories of the same nature against Hammer, albeit this time, screenshots of messages sent by his private Instagram account backed up the allegations. Much of the world was sent into a media frenzy, shocked at the horrible allegations and of the idea that a previously admired actor had been hiding a life-sized and despicable secret. And yet, one person that didn’t seem too dismayed with the news, was Armie’s aunt, Casey Hammer.<\/p>\n

Casey knew all too well that the stories of the brave women who came forward were not only accurate, but they were also all too familiar. Casey herself is no stranger with the abuse caused by the Hammer men, as she was subjected to it by her own father. Back in 2015, Casey published her book, Surviving My Birthright,<\/em> in which she detailed the horrid and brutal experiences she lived through, being born with the Hammer family name. She reveals the many secrets and abuses of power of the Hammer men, which she states have been passed down generation to generation.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to September 2022, Discovery+ has released a three-part docu-series, titled ‘House of Hammer,’<\/em> where Casey herself, as well as two victims, Julia Morrison and Courtney Vucekovich, share their personal experiences with Armie and the Hammer men. In an exclusive interview with Casey, she reveals that it was never her intention to contribute or create a series based on her family, “I was down in San Diego, working at Home Depot as a kitchen designer, living just a very quiet life when one of my co-workers was like, “Casey, you better get on TikTok because someone by the name of The Zen Blonde is blowing your life up.” And I was like, “What?”” Less than two months later, the producers of the docu-series reached out to Casey and asked if she wanted to share her story.<\/p>\n
