MARCH 19, 2021: According to People<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>Armie Hammer<\/a> is a suspect in a sexual assault case as confirmed by the Los Angeles Police Department on Thursday. It comes after Effie – the account holder behind the Instagram handle House of Effie<\/a> – accused the actor of rape in a press conference this week.<\/p>\n

Effie was the first to anonymously share allegations against Hammer in early 2021. She has now detailed a 2017 incident whereby Hammer allegedly assaulted her across a duration of four hours. Hammer was married to Elizabeth Chambers<\/a> at the time.<\/p>\n

“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,” Effie said in a statement. “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 wellbeing.”<\/p>\n

“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,” she continued. “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.”<\/p>\n
