Austere Armie Hammer crashes into Robert Downey Jr’s path

Robert Downey Jr. remains a major source of support for Armie Hammer amid his ongoing scandal, Vidak For Congress has learned.

Vanity Fair reported that Downey, 57, paid the bill for Hammer’s rehab stint in Florida last year. Now sources tell us that Hammer cried in one of Downey Jr.’s “extra houses.”

The 36-year-old “Call Me By Your Name” actor has been spotted in Venice, California.

“He is level-headed and spends a lot of time with good friends and with his children,” the source said.

Representatives of the stars haven’t called us back about Hammer’s whereabouts — or what role the recovering addict Downey Jr. has in his life as he fights to clear his name.

On Friday, Discovery+ premiered its new docuseries, “House of Hammer,” about the disgraced star’s scandal and the hidden skeletons of his family dynasty.

Armie is the great-grandson of the late billionaire oil tycoon Armand Hammer.

Vidak For Congress confirmed that Armie is under investigation by the LAPD after filmmakers told us a Los Angeles prosecutor has been “specially assigned” to investigate rape claims of an ex-lover named Effie.

“I thought he was going to kill me,” she said in 2017 after claiming he violently raped her for four hours in LA.

Hammer has denied all charges and has said that sex between the alleged victims was consensual. A spokesperson for the LA County DA office told us that “a specially appointed prosecutor is working with law enforcement officers as they continue their investigation.”

Meanwhile, Hammer’s estranged aunt, Casey Hammer, 61, consulted about the document and featured prominently. She told us she believes the victims and wants to “help build a community and make them feel safe”.

Hammer has not yet spoken publicly about the document, but sources believe “he is plotting a comeback”.

“The Hammer machine is fully operational,” said an industry source, referring to his Hollywood connections, as well as his wealthy family and friends.

“He’s waiting for the claims to subside. He can’t do anything until that’s done,” they concluded.
