ARMIE Hammer's tearful accuser Effie has claimed the star allegedly raped her for four hours and slammed her head against a wall - prompting the LAPD to launch an investigation.
The Thursday afternoon press conference serves as the latest instalment in the claims against the actor.
Hammer has denied Effie's rape allegation and maintains that the relationship was consensual.
Hammer's attorney, Andrew Brettler, sent the journalist a screenshot that he claims is between Effie and Hammer, stating she "sent graphic texts to Mr. Hammer telling him what she wanted him to do to her."
In a statement to The Sun, Brettler said: “Effie [redacted] own correspondence with Mr. Hammer undermines and refutes her outrageous allegations. As recently as July 18, 2020, Ms. [redacted] sent graphic texts to Mr. Hammer telling him what she wanted him to do to her. Mr. Hammer responded making it clear that he did not want to maintain that type of relationship with her. The screenshot below is just one of hundreds Ms. [redacted] sent to Mr. Hammer.
"It was never Mr. Hammer’s intention to embarrass or expose Ms. [redacted] fetishes or kinky sexual desires, but she has now escalated this matter to another level by hiring a civil lawyer to host a public press conference. With the truth on his side, Mr. Hammer welcomes the opportunity to set the record straight.
"From day one, Mr. Hammer has maintained that all of his interactions with Ms. [redacted] — and every other sexual partner of his for that matter — have been completely consensual, discussed and agreed upon in advance, and mutually participatory. Ms. [redacted] attention seeking and ill-advised legal bid will only make it more difficult for real victims of sexual violence to get the justice they deserve," he said.
The accuser, who gave only as her name, said as she broke down in tears: "I met on in 2016 when I was 20 years old, I fell in love with him instantly."
She then went on to claim that Hammer raped her in Los Angeles, "during which he repeatedly slammed my head against a wall bruising my face."
Attorney Gloria Allred later claimed that there are photographs of Effie's "visible injuries."
Effie shared a photograph of herself and , which Allred claims was taken "prior to the incident that she alleges."
Sobbing, Effie went on to claim: "I thought he was going to kill me."
She went on to claim that she has "lived in fear" of the actor and "lost interest in living."
"I could not comprehend or over come what he did to me," Effie claimed.
