“#Are You The One? Star Gianna Hammer Says She Was Drugged & Sexually Assaulted On The MTV Show

\n[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is so unsettling\u2026<\/p>\n

Gianna Hammer<\/strong>, who app<\/a>eared as a contestant on season 5 of\u00a0MTV<\/strong>\u2018s hit show Are You The One?<\/em> in 2017, is opening up about her time filming the relationship-based series<\/a>. From the sounds of Hammer\u2019s allegations, things are NOT going well over on that reality TV show.<\/p>\n

After first telling her story in a series of TikTok<\/strong> videos back in March, the 25-year-old sat down for a full\u00a0interview with The Daily Beast<\/em> that was published on Sunday. In it, she accused MTV\u2019s production team of giving her a prescription medication while she\u2019d been drinking \u2014 and later alleged a fellow cast member sexually assaulted her on set.<\/p>\n

Hammer explained to the outlet how, prior to filming, she\u2019d been taking a low dosage of the antidepressant medication\u00a0Zoloft<\/strong>. While she typically always took her prescription at night in her real life, producers insisted that she instead take it first thing in the morning while she was filming. The Ohio native explained that even though she at first resisted that schedule, producers were adamant, telling her (below):<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir logic was that I wasn\u2019t on too much of it. So, if I took it early in the morning, it wouldn\u2019t really affect me later in the night.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That\u2019s probably not a smart move by production staff \u2014 but sadly, that\u2019s only the tip of the proverbial iceberg here.<\/p>\n

Things came to a head for Hammer one night when she\u2019d been drinking alcohol with the rest of the cast, and she got into an angry drunken argument with another cast member. Recalling what happened next, she alleged that producers whisked her away to take another<\/em> dosage of her prescription:<\/p>\n

\u201c[Producers] had walked back into the confessional room with me and that was when the three producers said that I needed to calm down and that they were going to give me one of my medications. This part of the night is something I remember more clearly than anything else. I know that my castmates said that I kept telling them, \u2018I\u2019m not supposed to do this when I\u2019m drinking. I\u2019m not supposed to do this when I\u2019m drinking.\u2019 They still said it was OK, they said it wasn\u2019t a high enough dosage or something. So, I took it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

WTF?! Who forces a person to mix alcohol and prescription pills?? That\u2019s NEVER smart\u2026 And add that to the fact that producers are NOT doctors! BTW, co-star\u00a0Hayden Weaver<\/strong> corroborated that part of Hammer\u2019s story, claiming he was also in the room when she was given the nighttime dosage of her prescription. So scary!!!<\/p>\n

The next morning, Hammer claimed she \u201ccouldn\u2019t really remember anything\u201d that had happened after taking the second pill. That\u2019s when she was pulled aside by producers who told her she\u2019d gotten into bed with a male cast member, only to (thankfully) be pulled out by other cast mates when they heard her saying \u201cno\u201d to the man.<\/p>\n

Holy s**t\u2026<\/p>\n

Fellow cast member\u00a0Tyranny Todd<\/strong> recalled the incident at that point, telling the outlet (below):<\/p>\n

\u201cWe went over there to try to get him off of [Gianna] because we were like, \u2018This is weird.\u2019 I remember just always being really, really mad because we knew that Gianna was taken advantage of. I can remember it clear as day, he was on top of her and to turn around, like, \u2018What the f**k? This is not cool.’\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yeah\u2026 \u201cnot cool\u201d is an understatement with the severity of these allegations.<\/p>\n

In the aftermath, Hammer recalled how producers claimed \u201cnothing happened\u201d between her and the man, but still asked if she\u2019d like him to be sent home. There was a catch, though \u2014 according to Hammer, MTV\u2019s team allegedly guilt-trip<\/a>ped the s**t out of her for even raising such an issue, moaning on and on about how hard they\u2019d worked to bring the guy on the show in the first place.<\/p>\n

Hammer alleged:<\/p>\n

\u201cThey [the producers] made this comment, saying, \u2018He flew all the way out here, we did all this testing for him, he has a perfect match in this house, it would be a lot to send him back, he\u2019d have to spend the rest of the time in a hotel by himself.’\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, SO WHAT?! If he allegedly took advantage of Hammer, who gives a f**k about him having to stay in a hotel by himself?? Ultimately, the production team chose to put him in a different room, and they banned both of them from drinking for the rest of their time on the show. Wow\u2026 Talk about not getting it!<\/p>\n

On Sunday, in response to Hammer\u2019s bombshell allegations, MTV released their own statement (below) while also confirming they have paused production on their current season and pulled season 5 from all streaming platforms:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe take these issues very seriously and have paused production\/casting to conduct an independent investigation into the allegations, the third party production company and further review our internal safety protocols.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Lighthearted Entertainment<\/strong>, the production company involved in actually shooting the show for MTV, also released a statement. In it, they denied Hammer\u2019s allegations, noting (below):<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout the eight seasons of the show, no contestant has reported an incident of sexual assault to Lighthearted \u2026 We will cooperate with full transparency [with MTV\u2019s investigation].\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Interestingly, in a pair of tweets on Sunday, Hammer straight-up slammed Lighthearted\u2019s denial and claims she has \u201cemail proof\u201d about the incident:<\/p>\n

Didnt even attempt to sue just asked for acknowledgement and an apology ????<\/p>\n
