The three-part series was co-produced by Casey herself who features in the trailer. She delivers a chilling dialogue where she says: "When all this came out about Armie, I was not shocked. You just don't wake up and become this dark controller, abuser. This behavior, it's deep-rooted. On the outside, we were a perfect family. But magnified 'Succession' a million times, and it was my family. If you believe in making deals with the devil, the Hammers are top of the totem pole." But this is not the first time she has exposed her own family.
Who is Casey Hammer?
Casey is Hammer's aunt and the granddaughter of Armand Hammer - the businessman who made the family fortune in the oil business. Before serving as an official consultant alongside directors Elli Hakami and Julian P Hobbs, she had a deal signed where she was taken shopping around town but it eventually landed at Discovery’s streaming service. Just like Armie Hammer, Casey was also sidelined from the massive wealth that their grandfather left behind.
The daughter of Julian Armand Hammer, she acted in the 1992 film 'Leap of Faith.' She is a graduate in business from Pepperdine University and is a licensed Feng Shui consultant. In the trailer, she talks about deep-rooted issues, via which she could be referring to the controversies that the Hammer family was involved in before the sexual allegations. For example, how Armand Hammer’s son and her own father Julian were accused of killing a man in 1955. While they claimed that the man was killed in self-defense, Julian was later acquitted of the charges.
What has Casey Hammer previously revealed?
Casey has not hesitated in revealing the dark side of her family, In a 2021 report by Vanity Fair, she exposed Hammer's father, Michael Hammer, and his mindset of a teenage boy and how he had a sex throne in the Armand Hammer Foundation Office. In a self-published 2015 book, 'Surviving My Birthright,' Casey also accused her father Julian of sexually assaulting her when she was a child and projecting the same behavior toward other members of the family.
In the 'House of Hammer' trailer, Casey continues, "I know my grandfather had a dark side, but I saw my father's dark side firsthand. And I've seen my brother's dark side. It was like a monster unleashed. Now it's Armie Hammer. Every generation in my family has been involved in dark misdeeds, and it just gets worse and worse and worse. I've let the Hammers control me my whole life. It's time to stop. I refuse to be silenced. My name is Casey Hammer and I'm about to reveal the dark twisted secrets of the Hammer family." In 2021, the Los Angeles Police Department finally announced that Hammer was under sexual assault investigation after multiple claims of non-consensual BDSM, rape, and physical and emotional abuse.
‘House of Hammer’ the three-part docuseries, will be premiering exclusively on Discovery+ on Friday, September 2.
