In a new interview with AirMail, the actor continues to deny any claims of nonconsensual sexual activity, while calling his behavior 'selfish.'

I tried so hard to justify his actions, even to the point of responding to him in a way that did not reflect my true feelings.” You’re doing things that are beyond the [realm of] ‘Let’s have missionary sex with the lights off.’ You have to have that trust.

No one will insure me. “My interests then went to: I want to have control in the situation, sexually.” He said that he was suicidal when the accusations came out.

Hammer denies rape allegations, but admits to taking advantage of unbalanced power dynamics in his relationships with younger women.
