Armie Hammer begs for forgiveness after calling out Casey Affleck
Casey Affleck Armie
Armie Hammer is backtracking on comments he made last month about  Casey Affleck  winning an Oscar despite being accused of sexual harassment.
Hammer  who is the star of the Oscar contender “Call Me By Your Name ” compared Nate Parker’s downfall to the treatment of  Affleck  in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter — but on Friday he released a lawyered-up statement through a PR firm saying he now regrets his comments and that he was flat out incorrect.
“I would like to sincerely apologize to  Casey  and  his  family for my recent comments about  him  in my THR interview. Without knowing the facts about the civil lawsuits at issue (which I now understand were settled)  I misspoke ” Hammer’s statement read.

“The cases in which  Casey  was involved were not criminal and instead involved civil claims from  his  2010 movie ‘I'm Still Here ’” the 31-year-old continued.
"I would like to sincerely apologize to  Casey  and  his  family for my recent comments about  him  in my THR interview. Without knowing the facts about the civil lawsuits at issue (which I now understand were settled)  I misspoke. I conflated sexual harassment cases with a criminal case involving sexual assault charges. The cases in which  Casey  was involved were not criminal and instead involved civil claims from  his  2010 movie 'I'm Still Here.' While intending to make a social comment about double standards in general  I mistakenly compared reports of prior  public civil allegations that never proceeded to trial with a criminal case that was fully tried. I understand now that this was a poor comparison  which I deeply regret making. I also didn't mean to insinuate  nor do I believe  that  Casey  or anyone from  his  camp had anything to do with leaked information that took place during the press for 'Birth of a Nation.' I respect  Casey 's work  and I've learned a valuable lesson about the need to be more accurate with disseminating information  especially in this age of instantaneous  unchecked communication. While attempting to be part of the solution  I unintentionally made myself part of the problem  for which I am truly sorry."
