Elizabeth Chambers, 41, is determined to build a brighter future for her children following her divorce from Armie Hammer. In an exclusive clip from the upcoming April 16 episode of We, Elizabeth opens up to Julian Foster about how she dealt with Armie's public scandal and her plans for the future.
Elizabeth recalls her sister's words about how reminders of the most painful time in one's life can appear unexpectedly. She was referring to an Air Mail article that featured Armie, 37, breaking his silence about his personal life.
In 2008, Elizabeth and Armie began dating and got married two years later. However, after a decade of marriage, they decided to part ways in July 2020. Their divorce was finalized three years later. Following their separation, the actor faced allegations of sending explicit text messages to multiple women, detailing his sexual fantasies involving rape, mutilation, and cannibalism.
Armie faced allegations of sexual assault, which his lawyers refuted. In June 2023, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced that they would not be pursuing the sexual assault charges following a thorough two-year investigation.

Elizabeth expressed her shock, heartbreak, and devastation regarding the scandal on Instagram in February 2021. She acknowledged her lack of awareness on the issue and stated her commitment to listening, learning, and educating herself further.
In the video, Elizabeth, who is the mother of Harper, 9, and Ford, 7, with Armie, mentions how her close circle of friends has been crucial in helping her move past the difficulties. She emphasizes that her main focus is on her children.
She tells Julian, "I am dedicated to safeguarding my children, which is why we are still together. They are unaware of the situation. My kids are incredibly happy. I want them to see their father as a hero, and honestly, he has been just that for them. He has done his best for them."
Elizabeth opens up in a confessional about her decision to never speak negatively about Armie. She believes that it is important for children to see their dad as a superhero, as nobody wants a daughter or son with daddy issues.
