How 'House of Hammer' documentary angered Armie Hammer ... (Los Angeles Times)

Elli Hakami and Julian Hobbs began 'House of Hammer' soon after LAPD began investigating the actor. The accuser who started it all rejects the doc.

But were the protocols that are set out in BDSM being used in a way to have a healthy, consensual relationship, or were they being manipulated to put somebody in a situation that was abusive and hurtful? But all that was a tactic he used to seal off crimes and misdemeanors both in the boardroom and in the bedroom. You look at the type of characters he plays in “The Social Network” and “Call Me By Your Name” ... The people who ultimately are in the film are the ones who legitimately have a story to tell. He had a completely self-mythologized persona that he was a great diplomat, he was a great entrepreneur, he gave away thousands of dollars, he had a great art collection. And what you see in our film is even though Effie wasn’t there in person being interviewed, she’s clearly posited in the film as the match that lit the fire. And we recognized that they were in a place where they were ready to share their stories in a way that was going to be empowering and not regressive to them. Effie did, however, provide a statement to The Times about “House of Hammer.” “The way they’ve been exploiting my trauma is disgusting,” she said. Vucekovich — the only subject to appear in the Discovery+ series who had a physical relationship with Hammer — declined to reveal the extent of Hammer’s alleged misconduct on camera. Despite the fact that she did not participate in “House of Hammer,” though, Effie’s experience is detailed thoroughly in the series. Effie told The Times that she declined, responding, in part: “It is extremely inappropriate of you to exploit such a tragic, vulnerable time in many people’s lives, with no regard whatsoever for our healing process and privacy.” Hammer’s attorney, Andrew Brettler, denied Effie’s claims and said his client’s interactions with her “and every other sexual partner of his for that matter” were “completely consensual, discussed and agreed upon in advance, and mutually participatory.” (Brettler did not respond to The Times’ request for comment on the docuseries.)

Directors Elli Hakami and Julian P. Hobbs have responded to accusations of exploitative behavior from Hammer accuser "Effie"

“So I think in connecting the timeline of events, she fits more in this timeline of the unfolding scandal—her coming forward was a major moment.” He also highlighted a philosophical difference between the directors and the accuser: “[Effie]‘s been vocal that she thinks that making any form of media out of these events is somewhat problematic.
