Ex-girlfriend’s Abuse Allegations surrounding Hardwick
Chloe Dykstra, Hardwick’s former girlfriend on June 14, 2018, published an essay on Medium. In this essay, she alleged that her unnamed ex-boyfriend made her subject to emotional and sexual abuse. One of her claims was a threat of career blacklisting if she pursued to end the ongoing toxic relationship. Although the essay hadn’t disclosed the name of her abuser, people were quick to assume it was Hardwick since the timing and several other details led to him.
The essay was welcomed with a heavy response from Hardwick collaborators at that time, all of his mentions were removed from Nerdist’s website and the future episodes of Talking with Chris Hardwick got shut down by AMC.
Hardwick in response said, “Our 3-year long relationship wasn’t 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 in any way and no I never sexually or physically assaulted her.”
Later on July 25, 2018, AMC announced the return of Hardwick as the host of Talking Dead and Talking with Chris Hardwick as their private investigation alongside law firm Loeb and Loeb failed to confirm the allegations.
