Deadline ^ | June 15, 2018 | Patrick Hipes and Dominic Patten

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.”

My son and family hit a couple of Mets games each year-—on a trip to NY-——they really enjoy it.

This is completely out of control. No investigation, just an accusation & you’re done. Even creeps deserve a trial. How many innocent men have been accused & their lives over because of a false accusation?

I have never heard of this guy - I have no opinion if he is a good or bad man.

I did read the article. The woman claimed she was in an abusive relationship for 3 years. She was not married to the man, did not have children with him. There was no reason stated as to why she would stay with this man if was, in fact, abusive to her.

I know this is currently regarded as sacrilege to state, but it seems to me staying in a relationship for three years is a form of consent, it is a way of stating that everything is OK with the relationship.

I love Chris, he's host of The Talking Dead......Very talented and quick witted.........

Given the claims of the female and her self abuse (pulling her hair out) as a result of his alleged abusive behavior, she's a nut case. They dated for three years, 2011 - 2014, and now that he's finally married, she comes out with this bogus allegation?

Yep.

Also, she's tall, and redhead gals get crazier in relation to height.

And then there's the cosplay thing.

Tall, redhead, and cosplay?

What was that guy thinking?

I once dated a very hot redhead who was a hairdresser by day and a stripper by night. Good times.

No, unfortunately I couldn’t pull off the quadruple. Her stripper name was Georgia.

It is only a matter of time and like the men hope they aren’t hung in the public square without a trial.

I am aways uncomfortable when it’s a he said/ she said because of the lack of evidence & we all know vindictiveness can ruin someone. It’s a slippery slope. And then there are what I call the jumper onners. “It happened to me too. Look at me, look at me, look at ME!”

That’s the problem with the Anita Hill case. She claimed harassment, but sent Christmas cards & kept up with Thomas. I can tell you that I would have nothing to do with someone who harassed me. And if I did then any basis I would have for harassment would be null & void.

In the end only two people know the truth.
