Armie Hammer Accuser Speaks Out Against 'House of Hammer' Docu-Series, Says Filmmakers Exploited Victims

The Los Angeles Times reported that after Effie was contacted to participate in the series, she declined and responded with the following statement: “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.”

Effie‘s experiences are still included in the docu-series through screenshots that were posted to her social accounts. Her lawyer Gloria Allred also participated in the series, though she has said she wasn’t aware that her lawyer participated.

The Times asked Effie to be interviewed and she declined, but she did provide a statement.

“The way they’ve been exploiting my trauma is disgusting. When I keep screaming ‘no’ and they keep going, saying they don’t need my permission, they remind me of Armie,” she said.

House of Hammer filmmaker Julian Hobbs responded to the comment by saying, “[Effie]‘s been vocal that she thinks that making any form of media out of these events is somewhat problematic. As filmmakers, we don’t take that view. We feel we actually have an obligation to tell the stories. If you were to stop making films because someone said they didn’t want a film being made, you would never make a film … That being said, I think what you have to be is ethically on the right side of how the affairs are conducted. You have to be open and transparent about what’s going on with the film, and you have to be inclusive.”
