- Chris Hardwick has responded to allegations of abuse by former girlfriend, Chloe Dykstra.
- On late Thursday, a Medium post from Dykstra titled “Rose-Colored Glasses: A Confession” outlined years of sexual and emotional abuse she suffered while dating an ex.
- Dykstra didn’t name her ex, but described the man as someone who went from running a podcast to starting his own company.
- Many believe it could be Hardwick, who turned his Nerdist podcast into Nerdist Industries.
- Hardwick says he was “blindsided” and “devastated” to read Dykstra’s essay. He denies the allegations and claims he wants the best for Dykstra.
- Since Friday, Hardwick has been scrubbed from Nerdist’s website.
- He also hosts multiple talk shows on AMC and is set to host several panels at San Diego Comic-Con in July.
Chris Hardwick has responded to allegations of sexual assault and emotional abuse by his ex-girlfriend, TV personality and host Chloe Dykstra.
“These are very serious allegations and not to be taken lightly which is why I’ve taken the day to consider how to respond,” said the AMC personality and comedian in a statement to Deadline late Friday. “I was heartbroken to read Chloe’s post. Our three-year relationship was not perfect — we were ultimately not a good match and argued — even shouted at each other — but I loved her, and did my best to uplift and support her as a partner and companion in any way and at no time did I sexually assault her.”See the rest of the story at Business Insider
