:blackdynamite:I'd rather Yvette Nicole Brown keep doing Talking Dead hosting duties.
And I am not even on one about Hardwick being some sort of sexual abusing a$$hole. I just never liked him as the host of that show. Dude is too fukking obnoxious to stomach for any amount of time.

"his ex-girlfriend and accuser, Chloe Dykstra, said she didn’t participate in the network’s investigation into the emotional and sexual abuse allegations she leveled against him.

“I have been adamant since I came forward with my essay that I never set out to ruin the career of the person I spoke about. I could have provided more details, but chose not to,” she wrote in a lengthy statement shared on Twitter.

“I have said what I wanted to say on the matter, and I wish to move on with my life. For that reason, I chose not to participate in the investigation against the person I spoke of. I do not believe in an eye for an eye, and therefore I have only shared my evidence with those who I felt should see it.”

Dykstra said she shared her story so “others might not feel so alone” and that she hoped to gain “closure” from it.

Dykstra said she’ll now be focusing on shedding light on emotional abuse and will be working with survivor support groups such as RAINN."


:camby: She knew what would happen once she made those allegations against him.

So... she refuses to be involved in the investigation and then kinda takes a shot at said investigation :wtf: And she says she didn't mean to ruin anyone's career? Umm you kinda did. She's making me feel bad about Hardwick now smh.

"I wish I had been able to have had a private conversation with the person I spoke about in my essay" No, dont try and text me after you put my name through the dirt. fukk is wrong with you?

'Talking Dead' Loses Female Executive Producer, 'Handful' of Staffers After Chris Hardwick's Return (Exclusive)

When Chris Hardwick returns to “Talking Dead” on Sunday, the AMC talk show will be down one executive producer and several other staffers who left as a result of the network’s decision to allow him back on the “Walking Dead” wrap-up show.

The female executive producer and a “handful” of the approximately 25 people who work on the talk show show left after Hardwick was reinstated last month, according to multiple individuals with knowledge of the situation. He was allowed to return after an investigation by AMC into accusations of sexual and emotional abuse.

AMC declined to comment on the departures.

Hardwick was temporarily removed from “Talking Dead” back in June after Chloe Dykstra, a former girlfriend of Hardwick’s, accused him of long-term emotional abuse and controlling behavior, as well as hurting her career. He denied any wrongdoing.

“We take these matters very seriously and given the information available to us after a very careful review, including interviews with numerous individuals, we believe returning Chris to work is the appropriate step,” AMC said in a statement last month announcing that Hardwick had been reinstated.

According to one of the individuals, Hardwick gathered “Talking Dead” staffers in what was described as a “very emotional” meeting on Wednesday to apologize for the recent turmoil, and his demeanor was described as “apologetic and contrite.” The individual said Hardwick also invited crew members to one-on-one meetings to address any further concerns.

:beli:

What was the network supposed to do? They did an investigation, the person that accused him of the shyt refused to provide evidence or help with the investigation, the network found no wrongdoing, so they reinstated him.

Were they supposed to just fire him?
