New developments in the life of Armie Hammer… Now that it was confirmed that the actor actually works as a salesman at a resort, sources claim that he received financial help from a big Hollywood star last year to go into rehab. According to information released by Vanity Fair on Friday (15th), Robert Downey Jr. has paid all the costs of the treatment. The actor was voluntarily hospitalized after hedding a controversy over allegations of rape, sexual abuse and cannibalism.
According to the magazine, the Iron Man star “paid for the actor to spend nearly six months at the Florida rehab guest house.” Armie attended the clinic until December 2021 when he was discharged and moved to the Cayman Islands to spend more time with his two children, who were the fruit of his relationship with presenter Elizabeth Chambers. The actor’s exwife was even supportive of his entire recovery as she believes it is what is best for the family.
The insider also revealed that after news of Hammer’s career change was well received, Hammer decided to return to the United States with his family to avoid press. Now they live in Los Angeles with Robert’s support. “They live in a house in Downey and [ele] attended an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in Malibu,” he revealed.

But the star’s help doesn’t stop there. “Downey has not only provided Hammer with a temporary seat, but has also provided financial support until he recovers,” the source said. The news comes shortly after Variety reported that Armie was selling “timeshare” deals, a type of accommodation where you pay to use a resort or hotel chain annually for a set period of time because it would be “completely broke.” .

Another insider told People the star is a charity for people struggling with drugs and addiction in Hollywood. “They look at Robert as that light of someone who has overcome [o vício] and it comes out the other side and Robert is embracing that honor and responsibility very well,” he said. During the 1990s and early 2000s he was arrested and in rehab several times trying to fight his drug addiction.

The source also said that Downey is almost a “real hero” and that he tries to be very positive and to help others. “He sees the power that sobriety has brought to him, his family and his work life, and he just wants to take that message to other people, and Armie isn’t mutually exclusive,” he said. “He did that to a lot of people. He’s been a tremendous help to a lot of artists in Hollywood that people don’t know about. He really helped heal a lot of people.”
Despite the allegations, Robert’s representatives have not commented on the situation. Harmer’s attorney, Andrew Brettler, told People he had no knowledge of the matter.
