“Me too” claims another Hollywood Liberal...

...MAYBE??

Every geek knows who Hardwick is. Very disappointed to read this but listening to his podcast for a while and knowing his history, it’s not surprising this went on.

I’ve always liked the guy except for his political views, but damn, talk about a nightmare to put someone through. Scary.

And in his response he only denied the sexual assault parts. The mental abuse and really freaky demands of her, which probably did a crap load more damage, he didn’t deny, which probably means it’s true. Now she wasn’t an angel and certainly admitted to daddy issues, but dang.

Wonder if the Liberal elite will disavow him?

 

I can't seem to understand why these people wait so long to come out. Furthermore, if I'm 2 weeks into a relationship where love hasn't even had time to be established and I'm given a strict set of rules, I'm out immediately. Why would ANYONE hang around for something like that? Not to mention the fact that people immediately distanced themselves from him before he even had a chance to say whether he did or didn't do it.

He said he didn't sexually assault her, which the article says includes all the things mentioned from pulling her hair out to blacklisting her. He said he didn't do it. Why distance yourself without evidence first? People are no longer writing for his company because of unproven accusations.

Looks more like Chloe's career took a hit and she's trying to get back into the spotlight. I could be wrong, but hey, I get to have my accusations just like her.

Word to all the women out there who were abused beyond 6 months ago... If you're being abused, SAY IT! Don't wait longer than 6 months or after your career has tanked, you don't sound as believable at that point.

Edit: Just my honest opinion.

 

I only know this guy from 'Talking Dead' fame..... don't know anything about his political views or his 'nerd' activities, but if you say he's a liberal, I cannot argue. And you generally have to 'avow' somebody before you can disavow them....

I read her blog...it sounds bad for him, but I'm not reading anything in there that should get him in legal trouble. As you say, it sounds like it was one messed-up consensual relationship and she seems to have a boatload of issues as well.

I'm 50/50 on this one with the information at hand... he sounds like a nightmare as a 'boyfriend' but I'm not seeing enough here to put him down in Cosby/Weinstein land either...

 

Sounds like just a bad relationship. The "abuse" is questionable. And, yes, I know some folks just stay in a bad relationship for one reason or another but how do we know to believe her side of the story?

The truth is when folks are in a relationship and they break up each one portrays themself as the victim. They have to believe the other person was at fault. It seems natural to even stretch the truth to make that happen. It is possible this guy is a controlling scumbag just as it is possible this chick is a neurotic habitual liar.

At least she is out of an unhappy situation. Perhaps she can move on.

 

The only thing she left out was claiming he has the tiniest wiener she ever saw.

You're absolutely right about the sides of the story. When I couldn't bear to live with my ex wife anymore, I called it quits. She was overbearing, wanted to be in control, TERRIBLE with money, etc. The only thing she had going for her is that she wasn't jealous. She still, to this day (10 years past divorce now, but marital problems from 2003 to 200, blames me for everything and says I ruined her life by leaving her. I wouldn't call her a habitual liar, but she definitely has her own twisted side of the reasons for divorce. Very hypocritical, too. I'm 13 years older than my fiance and when we started dating in 2013, my ex jumped on facebook and posted along these lines, "What business does a 34 year old divorced man with 4 kids have dating a 21 year old girl with no kids?"

Of course she went to facebook because none of her friends on there knew our past outside of the one girl who sent me the screenshots. My ex had just broke up with a guy 11 years older than her who had 4 kids (one with her). Today, she has 5 kids, is 37 years old, and her boyfriend just turned 21. The hypocrisy just kills me, lol. I never said anything about her ex, nor the guy she's dating now. Between the two, she dated a cop in his 50's.

 

She's been out for a while so this isn't about moving on. This is about getting revenge.

This reads to me just like that cow who tried to do the hit job on Aziz Ansari because of one bad date. If this was a bad relationship, fine. Lessons learned and move on. But instead she's trying to #metoo herself into a bigger deal than she is by going after a guy who who is more famous than her and dumped her.

Some women just do not forgive being dumped.

 

"outspoken #MeToo advocate accused of" returns 157,000 hits.

 

People don't even question it. They hear it and immediately go into fits of rage. I just wonder how things would go if Palin made the same thing up.

 

Dykstra sounds like a typical snowflake who s unsuited to be in the military since she is so easily abused by men

 

Of course people would hit on it ... " Pound Me Too " !

 

being part of a 'movement' has replaced tangible accomplishments.

#GiddaJob

 

I had a bowel movement this morning. Do I get a participation trophy?

 

I agree with everything but the last sentence. All women do not forgive being dumped.

 

That is what is so dicey about the "me too" movement. It seems to hinge on what the woman claims.

Most guys are thinking fully functional sex robots cannot get here soon enough.

 

I've never heard of Chris Hardwick, Chloe Dykstra, John Dykstra, the Nerdist, the Medium, or anyone else mentioned in that article. What I see is a person writing a story, and she could have written anything she wanted, and people taking it as gospel.

 

People not into movies, tv or the zeitgeist wouldn’t know, which is fine. But this is a pickle for a very succesful geek personality who built a geek empire. His career could be over after this.

 

Its because we live in the second witch hunt era.

Look at this Tweet:

"and I believe women"

What an amazingly prejudicial thing to say.

"I believe women" ...even when there's no evidence.

"I believe women" ...even when the other side hasn't told their story.

"I believe women" ...even when witch hunt culture demands I quit my job and trash my friends and colleagues over the unproven claims of somebody I don't know.

Its total bullshit and parallels the days where a White woman could say "that Black looked at me the wrong way" and that claim was sufficient enough justification for the community to sling a noose.

This Hardwick person lost his show, lost his comiccon gig, had all of his articles wiped from the net, is getting booted from his own company and for what?

...because witch hunt pound me too culture says "I believe women" and therefore all men are guilty without proof.

Its prejudicial and regressive and if we continue to allow unproven claims to be weaponized we will find ourselves in a situation where the presumption of innocence ceases to exist for us all.

 

zbr6 is absolutely correct. We've already condemned this guy (who I've barely heard of) with no real evidence to speak of. I mean, look how many hate crimes we've heard about in the news where it turns out the perp was the very victim who reported the crime. Ronstar here is the biggest example of it when he predicted that a Black church that was destroyed was the work of a white conservative and even bet money on it - only to discover that it was actually a black member of that very church. But we've had plenty of others here who've done the same thing - Rolling Stone and "A Rape on Campus" which turned out to be entirely fabricated, Lena Dunham's rape claim (same) and many others.

I suspect most of the #metoo claims of abuse are true, but there's also quite a bit that need to be verified before we grab the torches and pitchforks.

 

AMC Pulls Chris Hardwick's Talk Show Amid Abuse Claims

 

Yea I don't care that this person is a liberal, they're innocent until they admit the claims are true or until their guilt is proven.

A culture that is willing to burn people over unproven claims is one that is risking total anarchy.

 

Great post. It's like someone pouring bleach all over the evidence then complaining that the court didn't rule in their favor. Well yeah, you tanked the case.

There needs to be serious jail time for knowingly making false accusations. The burden should be on the state and strongly so to show you knowingly lied, but if found guilty you should get a similar sentence.

 

Um, why would you stay in an abusive relationship for three years when you could leave anytime you wanted?

The first time she was abused it was his fault.

Every time after that it was hers.

 

I'm proud to claim I'm not a geek or a snowflake liberal so I have to ask, who the **** is Chris Hardwick ???

Is he another useful idiot of the radical left like snoweflake David Hogg ?

Is he part of the Hollywood Left ?

 

Wiki is your friend was on MTV a while back. Video game host. Started Nerdest podcast. Turned into big website. Became host for bigger and better things. Talking Dead. Gameshows. Not an outspoken leftist but a typical Hollywood CA leftist.

 

Me personally, I’m a bit skeptical of all this because I’m of the belief that everyone is a liar to some extent and folks just want their quick 15 minutes.
