This is so damn sad. And to me, genuinely surprising.
I admit, I've fell off from his podcast for a long while, but there was a point in my life where it genuinely helped me. Not necessarily from Hardwick himself, but as a platform, the podcast meant a lot.
But now looking back, I think it was shortly after he and Chloe broke up or maybe it was right after he got serious with his wife Lydia, he was talking (in general and vague terms obviously) about how things recently got better and "less dramatic" and I believe he described his wife several times as being "easy" to deal with... And with this for context, it makes sick to my stomach, and genuinely worried if he's repeating his abuse with his wife.
Jesus... All I can say is that I hope the best for Chloe.
