Elizabeth Chambers has finally addressed the controversy her estranged actor husband Armie Hammer was recently embroiled in for the past weeks. In a statement released on her Instagram handle, Chambers expressed her shock over the allegations that have come to light and besides extending her support to ‘victims of assault’, she encouraged them to seek help and healing.
Sharing a picture of a dimly lit horizon, she penned a note that read, “For weeks, I’ve been trying to process everything that has transpired. I am shocked, heartbroken, and devastated. Heartbreak aside, I am listening, and will continue to listen and educate myself on these delicate matters. I didn’t realize how much I didn’t know. I support any victim of assault or abuse and urge anyone who has experienced this pain to seek the help she or he needs to heal.”

In a statement, reported by I’m not responding to these bulls t 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.
