The takedown of Chris Hardwick shows #MeToo has gone too far
The New York Post ^ | June 19, 2018 | Andrea Peyser

Call it The Revenge of #MeToo. It frightens me.

The erasure of Hardwick from the airwaves and the public square was swift, brutal and nearly complete.

This was a hard-core reaction to an online essay published on Thursday by Hardwick’s ex-girlfriend, Chloe Dykstra. Without mentioning Hardwick by name, she detailed, in often cringe-worthy fashion, emotional and sexual abuse she claims to have suffered during a nearly three-year intimate relationship with the host of TV programs including “Talking Dead,’’ the aftershow that dissects AMC powerhouses “The Walking Dead’’ and “Fear the Walking Dead.”

Hardwick, for his part, denies completely engaging in abuse and attributes the wounded feelings to a long relationship gone awry. He put out a statement claiming that he was done with Dykstra after she was unfaithful. She admits to as much.

Who can know what goes on behind closed doors between adults?

This is what I've been saying for close to a year -- that #MeToo would take down innocent people, if it hadn't already.

There’s no hell like that conjured up by a woman scorned....even when the scorn is well justified.

That is going to be the avenue of attack against Trump. Can’t figure if it will be this year or 2020.

This idiot went all out against Trump. No sympathy for male feminists who get hit with friendly fire.

Almost every one of the metoo takedowns have been of NeverTrump liberals. Sex asdault/ harrassment seems to be a pattern with this type of person

Whoever they are, they should pay the price if guilty, but should not be taken down if not.

He released all the texts of her begging him to take her back after he broke up with her for cheating on him.
Now she’s accusing him of sexual assault.
These poundmetoo crazies are destroying peoples lives.

That’s probably true, but there also the possibility that most prominent conservatives of that character have already been weeded out over the years.

The only ones left were well-heeled lefties who had always gotten a pass - Weinstein, Charlie Rose et al.

There are a lot of beautiful bi polar women out there that have a history of rush Into a relationship, regret it, and then attack.

Too late to use it against Trump. They've tried and failed. They'll have to come up with something new. They'll be able to use it against Republicans in general for the 2018 cycle, but by 2020 the issue will have burned out.
