Updated with Nerdist statement: Chris Hardwick, the Nerdist founder and host of NBC’s game show The Wall, AMC’s Talking Dead aftershow and a regular emcee in Hall H at Comic-Con, has been scrubbed from the Nerdist website he founded after being accused of sexual abuse and “long-term abuse” by his former girlfriend Chloe Dykstra.
Legendary Entertainment, which owns Nerdist Industries where Hardwick launched his career as a comic and podcaster, just released a statement.
“Chris Hardwick had no operational involvement with Nerdist for the two years preceding the expiration of his contract in December 2017,” it reads. “He no longer has any affiliation with Legendary Digital Networks. The company has removed all reference to Mr. Hardwick even as the original Founder of Nerdist pending further investigation.”

Talking Dead will be walking dead(sarreer).
Guilt by accusation.
What could possibly go wrong?
(career)
Chloe Dykstra - any relation to Lenny Dykstra (former NY Met)?
Just an accusation by a disturbed female...
Kinda like the women who statred the Salem Witch Trials travesty.
(Because nobody would just make up things like this... )
Who knows who he is.
These liberal pop culture lost boys and girls are feeding on each other, it seems, but are of zero consequence.
I know someone who worked with him on something. Did not have a high opinion of the guy.
That’s like the beotch who took down Bill O’Reilly, claiming abuse in a consensual, long-term relationship.
That’s not abuse. That is the terms of your agreement to sell your arse.
She’s daughter of John Dykstra, one of the founders of Industrial Light and Magic special effects.
Always found the guy annoying but I dont think he should lose his job because some crazy ex-GF said he was a jerk.
They broke up months ago, and now she decides to write an article accusing him of stuff, never actually mentioning his name but everyone knows who she’s talking about. And his livelihood evaporates in hours.
Really?
Oh well, WD has gone to the dogs anyway. The past season was so disappointing I forgot to tune in the last part.
No great loss now if he’s “bumped”
Political Correctness swallowed the show so might as well go for the actors, too.
Okay thanks.
Just that Dykstra is such an uncommon name (to me anyway) I thought it may have been.
Did he spend more than 5 seconds looking at a girl (or guy)?
The Dykstra relationship ended in 2014. He’s been married to Lydia Hearst, daughter of Patty) since 2016.
“The company has removed all reference to Mr. Hardwick even as the original Founder of Nerdist pending further investigation.””
Unpersoning. Removing a person from history.
The commiescum love that sort of thing.
Ya never know.
Couldda been the nut jobber that used to show up at Met home games in a white wedding gown with a sign that said, “Marry me Lenny”
“Couldda been the nut jobber that used to show up at Met home games in a white wedding gown with a sign that said, “Marry me Lenny””
Was it a guy or a girl in the dress———and did he/she ever marry Lenny?
.
Female...or a damned good facsimile thereof (I never sat field level, prefered loge or mezz)... and no.
