Chris Hardwick Scrubbed From Nerdist Website ‘Pending Further Investigation,’ Legendary Says

In essay published Thursday, Chloe Dykstra appears to accuse ex-boyfriend Hardwick of abuse, blackballing her career

Nerdist owner Legendary Entertainment removed all website references to Chris Hardwick on Friday after his ex-girlfriend Chloe Dykstra appeared to accuse the “Talking Dead” host of abuse and derailing her career.

“Chris Hardwick had no operational involvement with Nerdist for the two years preceding the expiration of his contract in December 2017,” a Legendary Entertainment spokeswoman told TheWrap via a statement. “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,” the rep continued.

Dykstra detailed her accusations Thursday in an essay posted to Medium.
