In early 2021, multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct.
Hammer admitted he had been emotionally abusive to his accusers on the basis of an "imbalance of power" caused by his status as a "successful actor", but also denied any criminal wrongdoing.
"I want to take accountability for the fact that I was an a--hole, that I was selfish, that I used people to make me feel better, and when I was done, moved on," he added.
