DETAILS of Armie Hammer's disturbing family legacy have been revealed in a recent documentary.
The documentary premiered just weeks before the reported death of Armie's father, Michael, at age 67.
Armie, 36, has been hit with multiple sexual assault allegations in recent years, including an accusation from his ex that he was a "cannibal."
In the recently published Discovery+ docuseries, viewers heard from Armie's aunt, Casey Hammer, after her vow to "expose" their wealthy family.
She told Deadline: "As a survivor, I want to help empower others to speak up and know that they are heard."
In a trailer for the show she alleges her father - and Armie's grandfather - Julian, beat her mom, had drugs in their house, and had orgies with teenage girls aged 16 and 17.

Casey - the sister of Armie's dad Michael - also details how Julian sexually abused her as a child.
Viewers will also hear how Armie's great grandfather - and Julian's father - was oil magnate Armand Hammer.
Armand was friends with Presidents Kennedy and Nixon and Prince Charles and boasted a fortune of $180 million, according to reports.
But he also "wanted to control a woman, who he viewed as an object, not as a human being", according to journalist Edward Epstein.

His second wife, Angela Carey Zevely, once wrote: "My husband is a master of psychological warfare."
Casey adds: "On the outside, we were a perfect family, but beneath it all was a dark world of deceit, betrayal, and corruption and that’s why I’m coming forward now.
"It’s time to stop the cycle...women were disposable in the Hammer family. Every generation in my family has been involved in dark misdeeds, and it just gets worse and worse and worse."
The show also looks into claims from multiple women who read texts they alleged to be from Armie, 35, that depict graphic sexual violence amongst other shocking things.
His ex Courtney Vucekovich tells the doc: "The ropes were around your neck, your wrists, your ankles, behind your back, I mean, I had bruises, I hated it."
'MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD'
It will also investigate reports of a suspicious death after Armie's grandfather Julian was accused of killing his best friend before Armand saw that the charges were dropped.
He was accused of slaying a longtime pal, Bruce Whitlock, 28, during an argument over an old debt.
Casey added: "The story that he told us was self-defense but my mom was very quick to tell me, ‘No, your father just murdered someone in cold blood.’"
The doc also links Armand to the payments made to the burglars in the Watergate scandal.
And when an oil rig owned by Armand’s Occidental Petroleum exploded in 1988 killing more than 160 men there were accusations of a "cover-up" of what really happened.
'DYSFUNCTIONAL DYNASTY'
Discussing the doc, the Talos Films co-founders shared: "A dysfunctional dynasty with its male characters exhibiting all the devastating consequences of privilege gone wild.
"Now, for the first time, Casey Hammer will tell not just her story, but the definitive family history, leaving no stone unturned."
They added: "With new unfolding revelations and present-day consequences, this mini-series will provide audiences with a riveting journey into a family where reputation is everything and where things are never how they appear."
SLEW OF ALLEGATIONS
Hammer - who saw his career derailed by a slew of sexual allegations - has more recently been spotted hunkered down in the Cayman Islands.
In March last year, it was announced he was being investigated for sexual assault in Los Angeles.
That came after a former lover, only identified as Effie, claimed he had "mentally, emotionally and sexually" abused her during their four-year relationship.
In 2017, Effie alleged that she was violently raped when Armie slammed her head against a wall.
She also alleged that he whipped her feet with a crop, which would hurt for days.
Armie denied the allegations and his attorney released a statement at the time of the claims: "These assertions about Mr. Hammer are patently untrue.
"Any interactions with this person, or any partner of his, were completely consensual in that they were fully discussed, agreed upon, and mutually participatory."
INVESTIGATION 'CONTINUES'
The District Attorney told Page Six that the case remains under investigation.
LA County District Attorney’s Office spokesman Greg Risling said: “A specially assigned prosecutor is working with law enforcement as they continue their investigation.
“Once law enforcement has completed their investigation and submits the case to our office we will conduct an evaluation and file criminal charges that are supported by the evidence.”
Then, in early March, Armie's ex-girlfriend Paige Lorenze, 24, said in an explosive interview with Vanity Fair that during their time together she felt “really unsafe and sick to her stomach."
"He told me that I couldn’t have anyone else in my bed. And then I just started to feel really unsafe and really sick to my stomach about things. I was also emotionally dependent on him," she explained.
BACK IN ACTION
Armie officially split with his wife of 10 years Elizabeth Chambers in 2020, who he shares two children with.
In December, Armie completed his rehab after six months of treatment following the shocking accusations.
A source exclusively told The US Sun at the time: "Armie is out of the treatment facility where he spent months.
"He is doing really well and it's wonderful news for his family. He's back in the Cayman Islands."
However, tragedy struck on November 22, 2022 when Armie's father, Michael Armand Hammer, reportedly died.
Michael, a powerful titan in the business world, was 67.
He died after a battle with cancer.
SHOCKING CLAIMS
For many months, the star was hit with accusations of abuse by a number of ex-girlfriends, and disturbing messages were leaked on social media.
One message showed he allegedly claimed he was "100% a cannibal" and claimed to have told a woman: "I want to eat you."
Armie - known for his work in The Social Network and Call Me By Your Name - then returned to the public eye earlier this year.
In a selfie shared by his friend, Hugie Mann, the Death on the Nile star smirked at the camera while holding up his middle finger.
He posed with his older friend as the two enjoyed lunch in Beverly Hills, California.

"In my family, there was multi-generational abuse and they need to stop getting away with it," Casey adds.
"Just because you have money, privilege, and power, [it] doesn't mean you can’t be held accountable for what you’ve done."
