How did Armie Hammer go from Hollywood golden boy to an abuser?
A new documentary series, House of Hammer, is asking that exact question as it investigates the dark side of the former Hollywood actor.
New York Post has reported that the documentary, created by Discovery, includessit-down interviews with two of Hammer's ex-girlfriends, Courtney Vucekovich and Julia Morrison, who discuss their harrowing experiences with the star.
The pair also share disturbing text messages and voice memos Hammer allegedly sent them.
It comes as the first trailer for the series was released earlier today, revealing an alleged message from the Social Network star, which read, "I have a fantasy about having someone prove their love and devotion and tying them up in a public place at night and making their body free use".

While a voice memo details violent acts he would like to perform on the women.
"My bet was going to involve showing up at your place and completely tying you up and incapacitating you and being able to do whatever I wanted to every single hole in your body until I was done with you," Hammer can be heard saying in the memo.
Meanwhile his lawyer, Andrew Brettler has denied any wrongdoing on behalf of the star.
Speaking to Page Six Brettler said, "From day one, Mr Hammer has maintained that all of his interactions with" every sexual partner "have been completely consensual, discussed and agreed upon in advance, and mutually participatory".
It is not yet known when House of Hammer will be available in New Zealand.
