“He got more and more violent,” said the woman, now 24. “I thought he was going to kill me … He then left without worrying about my well-being.”

She said that after the alleged attack she was “traumatized” and “emotionally distressed and lost interest in living”.
Hammer, through his lawyer, denied the charges in a statement to Fox News.
“[The woman’s] the correspondence with Mr. Hammer itself undermines and refutes his outrageous accusations. Recently, on July 18, 2020, [the woman] sent graphic texts to Mr. Hammer telling him what she wanted him to do with her. Mr. Hammer responded by making it clear that he did not want to have that kind of relationship with her, “said Andrew Brettler of Lavely and Singer.
“It was never Mr. Hammer’s intention to embarrass or expose [the woman]fetishes or perverted sexual desires, but she has now escalated this matter to another level, hiring a civil lawyer to host a press conference, “the statement continued.” With the truth on his side, Mr. Hammer welcomes the opportunity to clear things up. “
