AMC pulls all of Chris Hardwick's shows amid sexual assault allegations

Chris Hardwick's Talking Pulled at AMC Following Sexual Assault Allegations; Will No Longer Moderate SDCC Panels

This sucks.

 

Too bad his second season won’t be airing.

 

I guess allegations=fact now.

 

Unfortunately, yes. IIRC, Aziz Ansari is the only man who has been able to come out the other side ok, more or less.

 

Chris' response : Chris Hardwick Breaks His Silence on Ex Girlfriend's Sexual Assault Allegations: 'l Was Blindsided'

 

....and in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1....he"s outta here!

 

Or he's the only one that was innocent of the allegations laid against him and most of the others did not deserve to 'come out the other side ok'.

 

I do remember him saying he was a raging alcoholic , back in the day....
was this series of incidents during his addiction?

 

No, he has been sober years before their relationship. I don't think falling off the wagon was mentioned within the accusations.

 

That was apparently part of the complaint alleged against Hardwick. As a recovering alcoholic he demanded she not have alcohol around his presence, which was given as proof of his controlling nature in the relationship.

 

At this rate, there isn't going to be much content on the tube soon enough. Guess we all should brush up on our reading skills.

 

morgan freeman seems to have survived his kerfuffle ok

 

Everyday its somebody new, just like bombings, shootings and everything else, people will be used to seeing these stories and think nothing of it as just another news day.

 

good riddance.

 

Networks are going to be risk adverse.

Probably best to make your concerns, one way or another, to them if this is really important to you.

 

Hasn't Ryan Seacrest more or less navigated through his situations as well?

 

In this day and age of #meetoo, I have a slightly unpopular viewpoint of all this automatically shunning actors who have been named in sexual harassment. I understand if there is compelling evidence, but now people lose their jobs just on a say-so. Companies do not let the legal process take its course.

These days, all anyone has to do is point a finger, and bam! They may lose their livelihood. Even if they are found to be innocent, there will always be a cloud of suspicion and doubt hanging over their head. It's really not fair. I understand that the movement is a strong reaction and correction of women (usually) never being taken seriously, but people do lie. But, we also do not want to ignore an allegation just because 2% or whatever people lie. We should just wait until the legal process makes its findings.

Funny, I haven't heard anything about Sylvester Stallone films being pulled, and the LAPD is investigating him.

 

is that being played out on twitter? that seems to be the thing to bring in the circus and subsequent cancellations etc.

 

Has he? I haven't seen or read much about him since that happened. Like others have said, it seems just being accused is enough to derail some people's careers.

 

I don't much follow Twitter of FB.

Another high-profile actor that has been fingered in the last week or so is Arnold Schwarzenegger. Anyone hear any updates on him?

 

Unfortunately, that's what people immediately do.

Again, i'm not saying to pretend like nothing is wrong, because many times there is. And, if enough people come out, that's the time to really investigate, as with Bill Cosby. Hell, he sink his own ship with his deposition.

Another thing, what about non-criminal things that someone did in the distant past? What if they have shown in recent years that they changed? Do we still hold it against them? Should there be a statue of limitations for non-criminal behavior? By non-criminal, I mean nothing that one could be arrested for.

And, a big question is: can people change? Some do, some don't. Should something someone did earlier in their life haunt them for the rest of their life? Each and every one of us have done something we regret today.

 

You can’t believe what any “ex” might say about another. My ex somehow turned our only having one car into me “keeping her a prisoner.” Wow. That was all I could say when her new boyfriend told me that little story. He’ll hath no fury....

 

You may have a point there. I have heard that he has started to perform stand up sets. No word of his tv career yet.

 

Wanting to wait until all of the FACTS are presented isn't choosing sides. If anyone is choosing sides it's Hardwick's employer.
