Two years ago, Armie Hammer was a huge Hollywood star whose future seemed to light up every day. Unfortunately, the actor’s career is practically over. Following allegations of sexual misconduct, Hammer ditched all the films he intended to make and had to make money elsewhere. And now it looks like their financial woes are only getting worse, as American Express is suing Hammer.
TMZ reports that Hammer has been sued by the credit card giant for an equally huge outstanding balance of $ 67,000. It’s unclear exactly how long Hammer carried the balance, but that was certainly long enough for Amex to decide a lawsuit was the necessary step, meaning other collection methods have failed.
It appears that the bill is what Armie Hammer and his ex-wife, Elizabeth Chambers, kept together, so any outstanding balance is likely owed by both of them to some degree. Apparently the bill is one of the many things to go through in the couple’s ongoing divorce proceedings, so it would seem to explain why it hasn’t been paid. Neither party is able to foot the bill if they think the other party should.
While it’s perhaps understandable that Armie Hammer and his wife are still processing the personal details before processing the American Express balance, that doesn’t mean the credit card company is willing to wait for them to figure out the details. . Divorces can drag on for years, as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have shown us. It may take some time for the two parties to agree on a termination of this account during the divorce. Ultimately, this lawsuit could force the issue.
It was in January 2021 that a series of sexually explicit texts emerged, including suggestions of cannibalistic desires, that Hammer would send to someone other than his wife. The couple is now divorcing.
After this revelation, Hammer ditched the various film projects he had been involved in and other films he had previously made, such as Kenneth Branagh’s. death on the Nile they greatly downplayed their involvement. At this point, it’s unclear if anyone is interested in hiring Hammer or if Hammer has retired, but the result is the same.
Last summer, it was reported that Hammer was selling timeshares in the Cayman Islands to make money now that his Hollywood career, at least for now, seems to be over. It could also be part of why the credit card bill became part of the divorce fight, as Hammer would run out of money.
