Armie Hammer’s mother, Dru Hammer, claims she had to find it in her heart to “forgive” her ex-daughter-in-law Elizabeth Chambers — despite her son being the one to cheat on his ex-wife many times.
The “Hammered” author said on “The Outlier Podcast” Monday, “I had a call with Elizabeth, and I said, ‘Look, the divorce is over. As far as I’m concerned, bygones are bygones, and I love you, and I forgive you for anything that you might’ve done to hurt Armie because you were hurt.'”
She added to host Lauren Conlin, “‘I understand — I’ve been there — and I ask you to forgive me if I’ve ever done anything that’s hurt you.'”

Dru said she and Chambers — who was married to Armie for 10 years before several women accused him of cannibalistic fetishes and sexual misconduct — now have a “beautiful relationship.”
Chambers’ rep did not immediately return Pvnew’s request for comment.
However, a source denies to Pvnew exclusively that the TV host has ever done anything to “harm or hurt” her ex-husband, echoing what he has said himself in recent interviews.
“I would say we’re very good co-parents,” Armie said on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” earlier this month.
“We’ve worked through a lot of stuff together. We are able to put our children first and foremost, and I would say that, in a big way, bygones are bygones.”
The “Call Me by Your Name” star, 37, also admitted to Piers Morgan that he had cheated on his ex-wife with not hundreds of women but “enough.”
Chambers, 41, was never found to have had an affair herself, but she was said to have contributed to the downfall of Armie’s career behind his back.
In September 2022, Pvnew reported that the Bird Bakery founder had allegedly pressured the “Death on the Nile” actor’s rape accuser, Effie Angelova, to press charges so she could get full custody of the former spouses’s two kids: daughter Harper, 9, and son Ford, 7.
Chamber’s rep defended the “Grand Cayman: Secrets in Paradise” star’s actions, though, telling us at the time, “Given the extent and nature of allegations that were made, Elizabeth sought to determine the veracity of those allegations.
“She was very sensitive to all parties involved. The safety and well-being of their children remains her priority.”
Chambers allegedly also once hid behind a secret Instagram account to leak unfavorable stories about Armie to press, including that he had a flirty relationship with his “Rebecca” co-star Lily James.
Pvnew cannot confirm whether the “hurt” that Dru alluded to in her podcast interview was about the aforementioned allegations, though.
Like Armie, Chambers has said she and her ex course-corrected their estranged relationship, telling E! News in September 2022, “We’re committed fully and wholly to our children and to being together as much as possible in a non-romantic way for our kids.
“Kids need their mom; kids need their dad. So there’s nothing we won’t do.”
Dru also said on “The Outlier Podcast” that she gets to see her grandchildren, who are the “love of [her] life,” because the family has been able to work through their issues.
“I would never let anything get in that way if it was humanly possible,” the writer explained. “And again, it all gets down to forgiveness.”
Dru concluded, “You forgive, and you shake the sand off your feet, and you move on. That’s what God teaches us to do.”
The matriarch previously condemned her son for his “morally” wrong actions — but pointed out to the Daily Mail last weekend that he was never criminally charged over the allegations.
In his interview with Morgan, Armie also confessed to branding his former fling Paige Lorenze with a knife, which was one of the claims leveled against him when his sex scandal first broke in January 2021.
However, he has repeatedly denied raping or sexually abusing any of his accusers and claimed all sexual interactions were consensual.
