Elizabeth Chambers has addressed the controversy surrounding her estranged husbandArmie Hammerfor the first time.

In an Instagram shot of a scenic beach sunset posted Monday, Chambers, 38, said in the caption that she’s focused on their children — daughterHarper Grace, 6, and sonFord Douglas Armand, 4 — amid the controversy surrounding Hammer’s alleged leaked online messages. Multiple women have since come forward, includingmodel Paige Lorenze, alleging he was abusive during what began as consensual BDSM relationships.

“For weeks, I’ve been trying to process everything that has transpired. I am shocked, heartbroken, and devastated. Heartbreak aside, I am listening, and will continue to listen and educate myself on these delicate matters. I didn’t realize how much I didn’t know,” Chambers wrote.

“I support any victim of assault or abuse and urge anyone who has experienced this pain to seek the help she or he needs to heal,” she continued. “At this time, I will not be commenting further on this matter.”

“My sole focus and attention will continue to be on our children, on my work and on healing during this incredibly difficult time,” she added. “Thank you for all of the love and support, and thank you in advance for your continued kindness, respect, and consideration for our children and me as we find ways to move forward.”

In a January 22 statement, Hammer’s lawyer addressed Lorenze’s claims toPage Six,saying “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.”

Chambers and Hammer, 34, married in May 2010 and announced their split last July after 13 years together and 9 years of marriage.

In joint announcement posts on Instagram, the two said in 2020, “It has been an incredible journey, but together, we’ve decided to turn the page and move on from our marriage.”

They added that “our children and relationship as co-parents and dear friends will remain our priority.”

According toThe Hollywood Reporter, the movie follows the story of a woman who is “on a cross-country trip as she searches for the father she’s never met in an attempt to understand why she has the urge to kill and eat the people that love her.”
