Armie Hammer’s mom to launch podcast for the scandal-plagued
Armie Hammer’s mom is launching a podcast that hopes to give disgraced celebs a chance to tell their side of the story.
Her son will be the first guest.
We hear devout Christian Dru Hammer has teamed up with celebrity-circler John Luciano to create “Hollywood and Divine” which, they say, will allow men — potentially including convicted rapists — the chance to “repent” and redeem themselves.
Dru tells Page Six, “There is absolutely a place for the Me Too movement, so many things have happened. But a lot of men have been hammered and it’s been hard for them to have a voice. So it’s a good opportunity to let them say what happened, what they did wrong and repent.”
Armie was famously accused in 2021 of rape, physical abuse and inappropriately indulging cannibalistic fantasies. He claimed all sexual encounters were “consensual.” The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office did not charge him with a crime, stating that there was “insufficient evidence,” but his Hollywood career was badly damaged.
“Armie chose not to fight back,” Dru — who claims she has seen emails and texts between Armie and accusers — tells us. “I said, if he won’t, can I? We are mama bears. He was not criminally wrong, he was morally wrong.”
Dru had previously broached the issue in her 2024 book, “Hammered.”
Luciano — a relative of late mobster Lucky Luciano — assured us he will “ask the tough questions,” while Dru will bring up with guests how “faith has got them through the scandal.” For those who don’t have a higher power, they will discuss other ways they coped.
Luciano tells us his dream list of guests includes a roster of canceled men including noted antisemite Kanye West, Mel Gibson, Johnny Depp, Kevin Spacey, Matt Lauer, and Danny Masterson, who was convicted of raping two women in and is currently serving a 30-years-to-life prison sentence.
They’d also like to get Justin Bieber, Will Smith, Chris Pratt, Kendra Wilkinson and Heather Locklear, who has been arrested and spent time in rehab.
(None of these names are booked for the show.)
“I believe in redemption,” Luciano tells us. “Am I having on a Jeffrey Epstein-type? There are certain things that are unforgivable, but I think for the most part people deserve a chance to defend themselves or deserve a second chance. Hollywood is a little too quick to discard and a little too woke.”
Armie himself gave podcasting a go, with a show called ‘The Armie Hammertime,” from October 2024 to October 2025.
Armie recently appeared in a movie called “Frontier Crucible,” his first in three years. He also has a movie called “Citizen Vigilante,” which is slated to be released this summer.
