In 2021, multiple women came forward with claims of abuse against Hammer. Hammer denied the allegations, calling them an "online attack". The allegations derailed Hammer's acting career; he abandoned several future projects and was dropped by his talent agency and publicist. From April to May 2023, there was an investigation by the Los Angeles District Attorney's office and the LAPD regarding Hammer. The authorities declined to pursue criminal charges against Hammer, citing insufficient evidence.
