The new claims, published in Variety, come after Hammer’s representatives last week denied that he was working as a hotel bellhop, explaining the mix-up was simply due to Hammer’s friends pranking him.Variety quotes a source who claims Hammer is currently selling timeshares at a hotel in the Cayman Islands, where he has been based for the past few years.“He is working at the resort and selling timeshares. He is working at a cubicle,” the source said. “The reality is he’s totally broke, and is trying to fill the days and earn money to support his family.”Hammer was initially spotted outside the timeshare sales office in late June after reports he was working them. A photo shows the actor clad in a blue polo shirt while he worked in the office – and onlookers reported that he was sitting with a couple and going over pricing for a unit. Holidaymakers were reportedly lured to visit the timeshare office via a flyer promising discounts for excursions around the Cayman Islands.Stream more entertainment news live & on demand with Flash. 25+ news channels in 1 place.

The Call Me By Your Name star suffered a spectacular fall from public grace early last year when various women, including exes Courtney Vucekovich and Paige Lorenze, came forward with claims of emotional and sexual abuse. Screenshots of messages from women appearing to depict Hammer as having cannibalistic fetishes also emerged on social media.One woman accused Hammer of rape, which led to an LAPD investigation that has since concluded with no charges pressed.Hammer, who was married at the time of many of the alleged incidents, has strenuously denied all accusations, claiming any interactions with any women were consensual.But the fallout for the actor was swift. Hammer was sacked from his agency, WME, and subsequently fired from a number of projects including Jennifer Lopez’s Shotgun Wedding, thriller Billion Dollar Spy, Broadway play The Minutes and Paramount Plus series The Offer. He was however recently seen in the box office hit Death On The Nile, which was filmed before the scandal broke and made around $200 million worldwide at the box office. In June 2021, it was reported the star had checked into a treatment centre for drug, alcohol and sex issues. He left the facility in December last year.
