AMC and Nerdist’s decision to distance their brands from Chris Hardwick is based on the allegations made by the celebrity’s ex-girlfriend Chloe Dykstra.
Dykstra never specifically referred to Hardwick by name in her post, although left several hints throughout to lead many to believe he was the person she was referring to.
Hardwick has since responded to the allegations and told a different side of the relationship, and stated that he never sexually assaulted her at any time.
Dykstra alleged in a blog post that Hardwick was abusive during their three year relationship, and did things such as make her sever her ties with other men, restrict her from leaving the house at night, and sexually assault her.
