The Latest: Armie Hammer, 36, was spotted at a Santa Monica golf club on Tuesday, days after Saturday Night Live duped him about his sexual assault scandal.

Vocalist Adam Levine and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson were also parodied as contestants in the skit, while cast member Bowen Yang played himself.
Hammer’s character called for a “big welcome back to Hollywood with applause” following his announcement, adding, “Look, I know there’s been a lot of talk about me in the press, but I’ve done a lot of work on myself.” and I have changed. So I have my message: I want to break your bones and take out your marrow.
Hammer, known for his performances in films like Call Me By Your Name, The Man from UNCLE, and The Lone Ranger, entered controversy in early 2021 amid multiple allegations of sexual abuse and an overt penchant for cannibalism.

Hammer was seen days after James Austin Johnson played him in an SNL parody of a game show titled Send Something Normal.
The premise of the skit was for celebrities to choose how to respond to flirty DMs on Instagram.
He was subsequently fired from his agency WME and lost a number of roles available to him, including the Jennifer Lopez film Shotgun Wedding and the Paramount Plus series The Offer.
A representative for Hammer’s estranged wife, Elizabeth Chambers, spoke out last month after one of the actor’s accusers criticized Chambers’ comments about being in a “really good place” with the embattled actor.
Chambers, 40, spoke with E! News last month about her relationship with the actor, from whom she filed for divorce in July 2020. Chambers said Hammer has been “focused on healing her” and she has been supportive.
Effie, a woman who accused Hammer of rape, which he denied, took to Instagram Stories with screenshots of messages she said Chambers sent her, allegedly encouraging her to go public with her accusations against Hammer.

A rep for Chambers explained to People why the TV personality, who is the mother of daughter Harper, seven, and son Ford, five with the actor, had to message Effie.
“Given the scope and nature of the allegations that were made, Elizabeth sought to determine the veracity of those allegations,” the representative said. ‘She was very sensitive to all parties involved. The safety and well-being of her children remains her priority.’
In one of the messages Chambers allegedly sent to Effie, he encouraged her to remain ‘focused’ on ‘recording the stories’ and ‘not just on the internet’.
In another alleged exchange, after Chambers asked Effie if she had hired a lawyer, Effie replied that she was “feeling a little suicidal” and didn’t have time to talk. Chambers replied, “I really need custody of my precious children,” and pressured her to enter a statement of her experience with Hammer in court.

Chambers allegedly said, “I don’t want to put any pressure on you, but your insight is much deeper than the others we have,” adding that he would keep things under wraps.
Effie said in her recent Instagram Stories post, “Just a few things to keep in mind before someone else keeps wishing rapists ‘healed.’
Effie initially took to the social media site to make the accusations against Hammer over a 2017 incident, eventually appearing alongside famed attorney Gloria Allred to lay out her accusations at a press conference in which she said Hammer abused her “mentally.” emotionally and sexually.
In the interview with E!, Chambers opened up about his co-parenting arrangement with Hammer.
“We are fully and completely committed to our children and being together as much as possible in a non-romantic way for our children,” she said. ‘Children need their mom; children need their dad. So there is nothing we won’t do.
Effie shared excerpts from text messages she allegedly exchanged with Chambers about Hammer’s actions.
She said of Hammer: ‘There’s the oxygen mask theory: you can’t really take care of someone until they take care of you. There’s a reason they say on the plane, ‘Secure your own mask before helping others.’
He’s been very busy securing his own mask. My mask has been secured, [the kids’] the masks are on, so right now he’s really focused a lot on them, protecting them.’
Chambers said she was willing to “support that process” in an effort to help Hammer be “the best father” and “the best person he can be.”
Chambers added that “time heals, but time alone doesn’t heal” as “you have to get over it”.
She continued: ‘People have flaws. People make horrible mistakes. People change, by the way. For me, the whole time it’s been about, “These are my limits. If you can meet them, we can take the next step.” That is with everyone in my life, but also with myself.
Chambers told the outlet that she feels feminist and remains “in solidarity with anyone who has been victimized in any way and hopes they find healing.”
She noted, “I’m not here, like, ‘My life is amazing,’ because it’s been hell for a long time.”
