The only public statement the actor has made referencing the allegations came in January, when he explained why he was stepping away from the J.Lo film: “I’m not responding to these bullshit claims but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for 4 months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic.” In the aftermath of the allegations, Hammer stepped away from two high-profile projects: a rom-com with Jennifer Lopez and a Paramount+ series about the making of The Godfather.
