The newly-released House of Hammer documentary has been a lightning rod for controversy ever since it was released.
The most recent person to give their opinion on the series, which details the numerous allegations against actor Armie Hammer, is his ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers.
The documentary itself examines some of the allegations against Hammer, with filmmakers including interviews with some of those closest to The Social Network star.

Having divorced back in 2020, the pair also have two children together, in five-year-old Ford, and seven-year-old Harper.
In a recent interview with E! Chambers described the 'heartbreaking' process of watching House of Hammer - which premiered on streaming platform Discovery+ earlier this month.
She told ENews: "I did not plan on seeing it [the doc], but I did drop the kids off at school one day and came home and watched it with my support system around me."
"It was obviously heartbreaking on so many levels and very painful. But at the same time, it exists. The past is the past and all we can do is take this as a moment to learn and listen, and hopefully process and heal in every capacity."
According to Chambers, she was also asked to appear in the series, but concerns over the impact it might have on her family persuaded her not to participate.
She explained: "In this process, all that's mattered and does matter is the kids and our family, and that was not something that was going to be in line with my goals for them."
Chambers confesses that 'there were definitely some surprises' in the documentary.
She added that the couple's children haven't seen it, as it's 'not appropriate' for them at this current time.
While not wanting to appear in the series, the 40-year-old asserts her support for victims - hoping that they can heal from their trauma.
Chambers stated: "I consider myself a feminist and stand in solidarity with anyone who has been a victim of any sort and hope they find healing."
According to the TV personality, she and Hammer are actually 'in a really great place' at this present time, with open lines of communication and a joint commitment for their children to be 'together as much as possible in a non-romantic way for our kids'.
She concludes: "Time does heal, but time alone doesn't heal. You need to work through it."
"People are flawed. People make horrible mistakes. People change, by the way. For me the whole time it has been about, 'These are my boundaries. If you can meet them, then we can take the next step'. That's with everyone in my life, but also with myself."
