Armie Hammer : le scandale dans le sang

Why is it shaming and hurtful to blame the alleged rapist and torturer on social media but it's not hurtful to shame and blame and accuse the ones who are potential victims? Cancel culture is not as alive and well as rape culture as many of these reviews are demonstrating really exquisitely. As if losing some jobs is worse than being tortured & raped. Everyone's reputation is on the line. Treating the women as guilty liars until proven innocent and right is just as bad as what you accuse them of doing to Hammer. Hypocrites all over the place.

Second, BDSM is all about consent and communication. Abuse like this is taking the physical parts of the kink and leaving out the communication and consent. Gaslighting is not a kink. It's a psychological weapon. It's a tool to wield when you need to feel superior to someone else or because you get off on hurting others. They aren't the same. Educate yourself about kinks cause you are making yourself into a liar and gaslighter by perpetuating made up rumors and definitions yourselves.

If you didn't like the style of the doc or thought it didn't help the understanding of the situation, that's legit. All those other criticisms are less concrete than saved messages from a crazy actor.

Very poorly made, not much more than a collage of articles, Wiki pages, IG and Tiktok content you've probably already seen. The sitdown interviews with Courtney and Casey are what makes this series worthwhile although they didn't really get into the graphic details, their courage is immeasurable. Another takeaway is the Piper Alpha oil rig disaster as told by Edward Epstein which deserves its own series. The Hammer dynasty tragedy is epic, the series is scant. If you do decide to watch it feel free to fast forward. Hoping for a better Hammer family series/movie and a better world for these survivors.

The meaty part of this documentary is the text messages and testimonials from the women he used. Their pain is unequivocal and the sanguine desire of this soul deprived ghoul is stomach churning. The history of where his need for depravity comes from becomes a little too entangled since it's not linear and they try to jump back to Armie sometimes as if an after thought. Three episodes doesn't seem enough since the story seems unfinished at the end of the third episode. These documentary makers need to talk to the makers of the R Kelly documentary to pick up pointers on how to finish and not seem to run out of gas after only 3 episodes.

Apparently in this day and age, it's okay to release a documentary that effectively ruins a man's career and life, despite everything in the documentary being hearsay, and there being absolutely no criminal convictions. So whoever made this documentary has destroyed his life to make a documentary based on.....gossip.

Has no one learned from Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. That just because people say things about someone, that does not mean it's always true. This man has never been convicted of anything. But is being treated as a criminal. Shame on Discovery+ for even allowing this garbage to be made.

I had absolutely no idea and never heard of any scandals regarding Armie Hammer or his family.

After watching this 3 hour long documentary I'm almost more confused than before watching it. There's a powerful and dark story regarding his great grandfather, grandfather and aunt. But it almost seemed that Armie Hammer himself was just a collateral damage in order to sell the documentary.

Not enough is said about him to justify a 3 hour documentary that will basically ban him for life from his job. There's an endless interview scattered around the three hours of a woman claiming to be traumatized after a relationship with Hammer, but it's all based on one night that it's not clearly explained.

There's also small bits and pieces from other two women and the lawyer of one of them, but again, they claim Hammer to be a monster but don't clearly expose the events.

I think if a three episode long documentary with Armie Hammer's broken face as a poster is going to be released for the world to see, the ethical thing to do is to clearly expose the reasons and events for the allegations, not just bits and pieces here and there and half told stories.

At the end I kind of felt more sympathy for him than before watching it.
