Armie Hammer's ex Elizabeth Chambers spoke to women who accused him of abuse and listened to all of the 'horrible, deep, dark details,' her sister says

• Armie Hammer's ex Elizabeth Chambers told Elle magazine she was blindsided by accusations against him.

• "I was learning things as the public was," Chambers told the magazine.

• Chambers listened to the "horrible, deep, dark details" from some accusers, her sister added.

Elizabeth Chambers, Armie Hammer's estranged wife, spoke to multiple women who accused her husband of emotional and physical abuse, and she listened to all of the 'horrible, deep, dark details," her sister told Elle magazine.

When the accusations against the disgraced actor first became public, Chambers was blindsided, according to Elle.

"I was learning things as the public was," Chambers said to Elle. "I was like, 'There are no words. What the fuck?'"

Allegations against Armie Hammer, the actor known for The Social Network and Call Me By Your Name, first surfaced in January 2021 when an anonymous Instagram account posted DM exchanges purportedly from the actor.

In the messages — which weren't verified — a user whom the accuser said was Hammer called himself "100 percent a cannibal" and detailed sexual fantasies about drinking blood and cutting off someone's toe.

In addition to the DM scandal, Hammer has also been accused of raping a woman in 2017. Hammer has repeatedly denied the claims.

Elizabeth Chambers' sister Catherine told Elle that, in the midst of the media frenzy around the accusations, Chambers was flooded with DMs from Hammer's accusers.

Catherine told Elle that even though "it was all still so new to her," Chambers supported the women who were coming forward to her about her former husband. At that point, Chambers had already filed for divorce from Hammer the previous year. The divorce has yet to be finalized.

"Elizabeth chose to be there for them rather than for herself first. She listened to horrible, deep, dark details regardless of what it meant for her own life," Catherine said to Elle about her sister.

And while Chambers supported those women, she was also coming to terms with the accusations herself, according to Elle.

But, Chambers also told Elle that she supports "Armie through his journey" and "always will."

Hammer has not been formally charged with any crimes in connection to the alleged abuse. The Los Angeles Police Department is still investigating.
