'He called me a basic b***h'

Gaffka, who has been an advocate for spiking victims, after having been spiked herself in an incident back in 2020 explained that Hammond made insensitive comments about her experience. She said:

I cut him off pretty abruptly. He called me a 'basic b***h. I Face-timed him because he seemed quite drunk and he made jokes about me getting spiked, and then his friend messaged me and said, ‘You’ve upset Hugo’ and I was like, ‘I don’t give a f**k if I’ve upset Hugo’.

Before adding:

So I haven’t spoken to him since. He’s tried to message me and I don’t think he knows what he’s done. There’s other stuff going on, like inappropriate touching, which he probably also doesn’t remember. So this is what I mean, nice guys aren’t always as nice.

Hugo's response

Hammond came out with a statement of his own tocategorically deny all the allegations made by Gaffka and adding that these types of comments can be very damaging to someone's career. In the Instagram story, he wrote:

I just wanted to have my say on the comments made by Sharon. Firstly, spiking is not a topic I use within my jokes nor do I find funny, it’s horrific to be honest. I wouldn’t joke about someone being spiked, it’s just not who I am, friend or not.

And added:

The wild comment made about inappropriate touching is outrageous and simply false. To say something like this is seriously damaging and paints an unfair picture of me. You cannot just throw that sort of language around.
