The LAPD confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that the 'Call Me By Your Name' actor is a suspect in a sexual assault case that was opened on February 3.Effie said she first met Hammer over Facebook in 2016 when she was 20 years old and entered into an on-and-off relationship between 2016 to 2020."He abused me mentally, emotionally and sexually," she said of the relationship. Hammer denies the claims.Hammer first faced backlash in early January when several disturbing, unverified comments and conversations attributed to the actor surfaced on social media that outlined emotional abuse, mpulation and coercion. One of the accounts that shared anonymous messages was @houseofeffie.The Hollywood Reporter unveiled that earlier, Hammer exited 'The Offer', a Paramount+ series about the making of 'The Godfather'.Before that, he resigned from Lionsgate action-comedy 'Shotgun Wedding', which would have paired him with Jennifer Lopez. Josh Duhamel replaced him in the movie.Walden Media's president and CEO Frank Smith and Executive Vice President Development and production Naia Cucukov will executive produce 'Billion Dollar Spy'. The film will go into production this year in Eastern Europe.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
