Oh god.Not Hardwicky enough.
"That sweet Samus cosplay ass you're gonna be taking in is gonna have your dick harder than Ben Grimm from the Fantastic Four. Your girl best stay put like the robot R2-D2 when Luke landed on Dagobah and be ready like Marty McFly waiting for the lighting to strike the clock tower and juice up his DeLorean, because when you get back you're going to want to have sex like MAIN CHARACTER in POPULAR 80'S MOVIE. If she's not, then she's not worthyyyy. She's not worthyyyy. Remember Wayne's World?"
The age gap clearly bothered him.I'm not against age gaps in general in relationships, but the fact that Hardwick was in his 40's while Chloe was 23 always skeeved me out. Chloe mentioned that when they got together, he was still broken up over his prior relationship with Janet Varney. Janet it pretty much the same age as Hardwick, so I always got the sense he wanted someone younger - and therefore easier to control - as his partner, since dude clearly had issues.
His show is set to premiere on AMC tomorrow night. Hopefully they pull the plug.
He's interviewing Donald Glover, but the interview was already taped a month ago. I'm sure Donald Glover can't be happy about it
Are you sure? It still shows up on their schedule:

Since Dykstra went public with her claims earlier today, pressure has been building on AMC to halt the June 17 Season 2 debut of Talking With Chris Hardwick, either permanently or at least until a full investigation into the actress' claims is conducted.
This is horrifying but also extremely common. I hope this brings to light other abusive relationships and make the victims somehow feel like they are in a dangerous situation.
I know a girl who was in this kind of relationship until very recently. She's been with the guy for almost 5 years, and after he decided to physically abuse her, she left and is single now. Only after this fallout did she say that he made her delete her Facebook account multiple times because he didn't want her to talk to other guys, and he also made her stop singing (she was a relatively famous singer in her town). It's easy to say that the victim can just walk away, but they really can't. It's extremely hard to walk away from someone, especially someone like that.
Wow. Almost word for word corroborating one of the worst parts of the allegations.. In his own book
I looked at the original tweet, don't know for sure that's it's real. Original poster said it was brought to their attention, meaning they must have gotten it from somebody else.Can anyone confirm that this is definitely from his book and not parody? I'm absolutely, 100% not going to bat for the guy, but this short passage so perfectly makes the case for the fact that he's a miserable, embarrassing psychopath that also apparently rambles incoherently (i.e. immediately segueing into a "bowling with Jon Hamm" story!?!?) that I'm really suspicious that it might actually be fake. Because if that's real then holy shit. Why has nobody called him out on that before!?!?
Edit: as an update, I can not verify myself but I'm told it's fake by someone with access to the book.

Would like additional confirmation that it's actually a passage in his book.
Someone at that age has only been an adult for five years, so they really don't stand a chance against someone nearly twice their age.I'm not against age gaps in general in relationships, but the fact that Hardwick was in his 40's while Chloe was 23 always skeeved me out. Chloe mentioned that when they got together, he was still broken up over his prior relationship with Janet Varney. Janet it pretty much the same age as Hardwick, so I always got the sense he wanted someone younger - and therefore easier to control - as his partner, since dude clearly had issues.
If that snippet from his book is faked, that's a fucked up thing to do. There's absolutely no need to muddy the waters like that.
Fucked up if somebody faked itI noted in an update that it seems to be fake. Mind you, I don't have access to the book personally, but someone else searched the exact phrase and related terms and didn't find it. Found Delorean and bowling mentions, but not that damning excerpt.
Faking that shit is deplorable. I'm really uncomfortable with how muddy this is becoming.
Did that as well. Completely fake. Not even the writing style matches.Can confirm. Just got the ebook of The Nerdist Way and did a search for some of those keywords in the tweet (like revved, DeLorean, etc).
That passage seems completely falsified. (I'm about 99% sure, unless my app is somehow not finding the text, which I doubt)
Fucking people, just stop it. What Hardwick did is enough to condemn him without having to muddy the waters with this stuff.

AMC has pulled Chris Hardwick's talk show after an allegation of sexual assault from his ex-girlfriend Chloe Dykstra.
"We have had a positive working relationship with Chris Hardwick for many years," said the network in a statement on Saturday. "We take the troubling allegations that surfaced yesterday very seriously. While we assess the situation, Talking with Chris Hardwick will not air on AMC, and Chris has decided to step aside from moderating planned AMC and BBC America panels at Comic-Con International in San Diego next month."
Accusing him of sexual assault was probably a bridge too far, because it allows him to claim innocence of that one charge and argue the strict legal definition of the term. People will jump to his defense on that too, while ignoring all the other claims or dismissing them as him just being a crappy boyfriend.
I don't even think it would've been a bad thing if it had been a demand in order for the relationship to continue. If that's a deal-breaker for someone, it needs to be communicated so both people don't end up wasting their time.Yeah, there's a distinct difference between, "hey, I'm sober, so if we're out together, please don't drink" and it being part of basically a list of demands for a relationship to continue.
Damn, it's surprising how quick everyone is acting. It's impressive. I wonder if this has to do with the fact that he's a C-List celebrity at best and not, say, Johnny Depp.
He's pretty D-List its gonna be easy to make this guy disappear and wipe their hands clean.Damn, it's surprising how quick everyone is acting. It's impressive. I wonder if this has to do with the fact that he's a C-List celebrity at best and not, say, Johnny Depp.

A soap star is D list. He is very clearly above that.
But as someone mentioned earlier, if the Jonny Depp situation had happened just a year later, the reaction might have been so different.
Well, if it's true, it's true. But at this point, it is a he said/she said situation.
It'll be interesting to see how AMC "assesses the situation" with that. This isn't a case with numerous women coming out against him so I'm not sure how much they can assess.
