Lorenze claims Hammer carved an “A” into her skin using a knife and urged her to get her ribs removed so he could eat them. Paige Lorenze and Courtney Vucekovich, two of Hammer’s former girlfriends, have said in interviews that Hammer convinced them to participate in BDSM activities that they later said made them feel unsafe. She started sharing her story via her Instagram account, in early 2021, prompting other women to disclose their own experiences with Hammer. Effie told The Times that she declined, responding, in part: “It is extremely inappropriate of you to exploit such a tragic, vulnerable time in many people’s lives, with no regard whatsoever for our healing process and privacy.”Įffie is the only woman who has publicly alleged that Hammer raped her. One month later, Effie said, a producer on “House of Hammer” reached out to her to ask if she would be interviewed for the project. Hammer’s attorney, Andrew Brettler, denied Effie’s claims and said his client’s interactions with her “and every other sexual partner of his for that matter” were “completely consensual, discussed and agreed upon in advance, and mutually participatory.” (Brettler did not respond to The Times’ request for comment on the docuseries.) Effie, a 26-year-old European woman who declined to give her last name due to concerns about harassment, said in a March 2021 news conference held by her lawyer, Gloria Allred, that Hammer “violently raped” her. But as “House of Hammer” debuts this weekend, the woman whose claims launched the ongoing LAPD investigation says the project is doing more to harm Hammer’s alleged victims than to help them.
