[Yahoo] Armie Hammer’s wife, Elizabeth, filed for divorce shortly after he sent a “raunchy” text to her – meant for someone else.
Armie Hammer and Elizabeth Chambers announced last year that they were separating after a decade of marriage, and the “last straw” reportedly came after Chambers discovered his ongoing infidelity.
In a new Vanity Fair feature about Hammer’s family legacy and the troubling allegations made against him in recent months, sources said Chambers filed for divorce after Hammer decided to leave his family in the middle of their COVID-19 quarantine.
The Hammers had been in expensive family therapy, but, to Elizabeth, the indiscretions – and more notably his decision to flee the family during a global pandemic – were the final straw.
When Armie touched down in the U.S., he mistakenly sent a raunchy text message meant for someone else to his estranged spouse. Elizabeth filed for divorce shortly after.
According to a friend close to Chambers, Hammer confessed to a “one-time” cheating offense shortly after his son’s birth in 2017.
The same friend told Vanity Fair that years later, Chambers “found evidence of an affair Armie was having with a costar.”
Hammer began trending on social media in January after he was accused of sending NSFW direct messages that involved discussions of s*xual acts and cannibalism. He then announced he was stepping down from a planned movie with Jennifer Lopez, Shotgun Wedding.
Elizabeth has told friends that while she is fearful herself, she is projecting strength for the kids and trying to find occasional humor in the darkness.
She’s been joking to friends that the only thing that makes sense to her, looking back on her marriage, is the Netflix movie starring Zac Efron as Ted Bundy – Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile.
In February, Chambers posted a lengthy statement on Instagram, appearing to allude to the reports about her ex-husband.
“For weeks, I’ve been trying to process everything that has transpired,” Chambers wrote, adding that she was “shocked, heartbroken, and devastated” by what she had learned recently.

I follow Elizabeth’s Instagram and she is showing a lot of class and grace.
He should not be allowed near his own children, or any children, or any animals, or honestly any living beings, ever. He is deranged.

Lily James. She looks very similar to Elizabeth. She apparently threatened to sue the tabloids if they mentioned her in relation to Hammer, but they printed anyway, so they must have some pretty cast iron evidence. Also Elizabeth said it was her

Lily James? Costarred in 2020 Rebecca, seems true to form for both.

The insatiable Lily James who starred with Armie in the remake of Rebecca..

No.

If it were me, supervised visits only. No overnights. I feel for those children.
easternpromise says
Yes if I was their mother I’d say supervised visits only too. He has alcohol and drug issues for a start. If he really wanted to see them, hed take supervised visits and prove he was worthy. I get the feeling he wont bother and go back to his single child free lifestyle.

Don’t know about the actress or movie.
But I definitely don’t think that a person with such extreme and disturbing peccadillos should be around children.

Oh, and for Optional–
Haven’t heard anything about him being violent or dangerous, but he sure has been making a lot of ‘questionable’ decisions (I’m thinking of the drug snorting video he posted recently), and the kids are very young. Probably best to not leave him alone with the kids for now… Not until he’s had some counseling/therapy.

Lily James – and they used little nicknames for each other during the filming of Rebecca
Boudicca says
Elizabeth is peddling the story about Lily James, but since she was on set while Armie filmed Rebecca it’s impossible. At this point he might have had an affair with Jennifer Saunders while filming Death on the Nile.
He is perfectly safe with his kids, what he does in bed with his partners has nothing to do with him being a father.
Whisper says
I don’t know about movie affair/actress. It’s hard to imagine a man like that is safe for kids to be around. I imagine court appointed experts will weigh in.
Pinkieswear says
If he’s posting videos of himself snorting coke, his questionable judgment doesn’t stay in bed with his adult partners.

Lily James
Rebecca
Absolutely not. He’s mentally unstable, using drugs, and clearly doesn’t prioritize the health and happiness of his family over his own selfishness, so no. He’s not to be trusted around his children.

I think one of his texts was alluding to that
parkland45 says
This guy has serious mental issues. I hope his ex has a great lawyer who can help her convince a judge that her kids need protection from him. He should not be alone with his kids. Cannibalism? Sicko.
