Effie Angelova, the first woman who publicly accused Armie Hammer of rape in 2021, has condemned his attempts to relaunch his career, claiming he is "undeserving of a platform."
Angelova's allegations include violent abuse and disturbing messages from Hammer, who denies the claims and characterizes their relationship as consensual.
Despite his public denials, Effie Angelova claims Armie Hammer's actions have left her with C-PTSD and that his continued media presence is re-traumatizing and harmful to his victims.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Angelova condemned Hammer's efforts to revive his Hollywood career, proclaiming, "Rapists don't deserve a platform."
Hammer and Angelova were involved in a four-year affair starting in 2016. In 2021, Angelova accused the actor of violently abusing and raping her in 2017.
Throughout their relationship, the "Call Me By Your Name" actor allegedly sent her hundreds of disturbing texts detailing violent fantasies, including one where he claimed, "I am 100% a cannibal."
Now, three years later, Hammer has resurfaced with a series of media interviews addressing the accusations.
Angelova claims these interviews have re-traumatized her, causing insomnia and nausea. She also criticized Hammer's socialite mother, Dru, for defending her son, calling it "disgusting" and labeling her an "enabler."
While speaking to the news outlet, Angelova stated, "Armie is a rapist and society needs to stop forgiving rape and stop welcoming rapists back. He is depraved and sick in the head."
"He has not apologized to me. He has not taken accountability for everything he's done to me. He should stop lying and victim-blaming, and apologize and go away," Angelova added.
Angelova publicly accused Hammer in January 2021 of rape and "other acts of violence," sparking a scandal that led multiple women to come forward with similar allegations, which effectively derailed his acting career.
However, Hammer recently reappeared in public interviews, including one with Piers Morgan, where he addressed the cannibalism allegations.
In the interview, Hammer stated, "You know what you have to do to be a cannibal? You have to have actually eaten somebody," confirming that he has never consumed human flesh.
He also denied abusing the women who accused him, asserting, "None of those people were hurt or upset because I pushed any sexual boundaries."
Discussing his relationship with Angelova and her allegations, Hammer characterized it as a "very intense affair, very sexually charged, between two people with very similar proclivities and kinks."
He acknowledged that their conversations might appear disturbing when taken out of context. Hammer also suggested that Angelova was more experienced in the world of kink than he was.
