Chambers, who filed for divorce from Hammer in July of last year, answered a question from a fan on her Instagram Story about her quieter presence on social media in the last few weeks. "Focusing on healing, my babes and work," said Chambers, who shares daughter Harper Grace, 6, and son Ford Douglas Armand, 4 with Hammer. "A lot I've wanted to share, but hasn't felt right [at the moment]," Chambers added, seemingly referring to the allegations against Hammer that surfaced last month. After months of swirling accusations and rumors about the Call Me By Your Name actor, a woman named Effie, who has not publicly revealed her last name, came forward publicly to accuse Hammer of rape last month. Armie Hammer Accused of Rape 'and Other Acts of Violence' by Woman Behind First Allegations Against Him Appearing in a press conference with attorney Gloria Allred on March 18, Effie — the woman behind the Instagram account House of Effie that first anonymously shared allegations against Hammer —accused him of sexual assault in a four-hour incident that she says occurred in 2017. Effie further accused Hammer of "mentally, emotionally and sexually" abusing her during their on-and-off four-year relationship. At the time of their affair, Hammer was married to Chambers.

"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."
