Short story:

His ex posted a detailed account of him emotionally and sexually abusing her but didn't name him. After she left him for another man, he had her blacklisted and forbade folks to work with her.

Multiple people have corroborated her story and come out to say, yes, they were pressured to not hire her or work w/her.

18 hrs later, he posted an very unapologetic statement basically blaming her for everything and claiming he did nothing wrong.

oh and an excerpt from his book some years ago sarcastically mirrors a very sadistic episode that Chloe spoke about in her essay

AMC cancelled his show and ComicCon disinvited him.

glad she's telling her story.

she was unstable, he took advantage of it (not that this was okay), but "he used me for sex and was controlling" isnt quite Me Too territory

men are losing careers and being lumped in with Harvey Weinstein/Bill Cosby because exes consented to being treated poorly

maybe my thinking is warped because of the fucked up relationships I've been on both ends of. every situation involving a famous man doesnt need an exposé though

Aren’t you the one who said we should belive women when they make claims?

i can see how that might push some buttons

i'm struggling with how her blog doesn't really read like closure to me and loses the focus on the warning too, but she'd know her mental health situation and the mindset of potential/current victims better than i would, so...

he was always too comfortable dipping his toes across the line on @midnight. i'm inclined to read his public persona as the kind of shit you see on college campuses with fake feminist bros.

hopefully he'll treat it like a wake-up call? misogyny and abusive relationships are mental health issues just as much as alcoholism is a disease. he can grow from it if he accepts it.

>hopefully he'll treat it like a wake-up call? misogyny and

But it's clear from his initial statement that's not happening.

How hard is it for an "I remember our relationship differently, but I apologize for the pain I caused her?" It still doesn't make it right, but it at least makes it seem like you're capable of basic empathy and understanding.

from her account he wasnt violent and she chose to stay, looking for a silver lining

someone on Twitter worded it well:

"we should separate assholes from dangerous people"

but because culture is (finally) shifting towards holding men accountable with (white) women, assholes are lumped in with dangerous people and the new hot thing is "fire him for being shitty to his ex-girlfriend"

she specifically accused him of rape.

I wouldnt be in here speaking up otherwise

I dont recall it verbatim, but I dont remember rape

I remember "he used me for sex" and "I felt pressured to give in when I didnt want to"

she wanted to paint him in the shittiest way possible (she's well within her rights if that stuff is true) but she stopped short of the r word

"…Including let him sexually assault me. Regularly. I was expected to be ready for him when he came home from work."

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

if you Control+F the word "rape", it literally never appears

yes she alleges sexual assault, which she goes on to describe as "this was expected of me. I didnt want to, but he threatened to leave" to me that reads like consent under shitty terms. like a dead end job that was killing her soul, the opposite of a loving and healthy relationship

her self-worth was in the toilet and she was taken advantage of, no it isnt okay. but just typing the words "sexual assault" in bold then explaining a scenario that doesnt match that (or failing to detail an actual assault) is enough to get people angry in this era

and see what that is.

Having sex with someone without their consent. There are state by state variations of what constitutes consent (age, intoxication, etc.) but what constitutes rape is a pretty easy concept to grasp (which I am sure everyone here knows).

She used the term sexually assaulted but sexual assault includes everything from grabbing someone's ass to rape. So it's not clear what she was describing when she said she was sexually assaulted.

I had to google starfishing but I think having sex with a partner who doesn't feel like having sex ALONE I don't think constitutes sexual assault much less rape.

"Everyone has a plan until you punch them in the face. Then they don't have a plan anymore." (c) Mike Tyson

"what's a leader if he isn't reluctant"

According to the U.S. Department of Justice; “Sexual assault is any type of sexual contact or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient. Falling under the definition of sexual assault are sexual activities as forced sexual intercourse, forcible sodomy, child molestation, incest, fondling and attempted rape.” There are also even more specific guidelines to what sexual assault is when looking at your own state. Specifically, the Code of Virginia § 18.2-359 covers the general description of sexual assault for the commonwealth of Virginia.

no.

she specifically accused him of rape. you know that's what it says which is why you tried your "it could be ass grabbing" dodge.

he knows it too, that's why it's the only thing he specifically denied.

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

read?

She specifically accused him of sexual assault**. He specifically denied Sexually Assaulting her. Do you understand the basic fact that rape is a form of sexual assault but not all sexual assault is rape. Sexual assault can be all sorts of unwanted sexual contact including ass grabbing (you do understand I didn't give an exhaustive list of sexual assault but was just giving an example).

How can you discuss this topic if you don't understand these basic concepts?

Do yourself a favor, read up before getting responding.

I guess that's the way to go when the facts don't support you.

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

not all sexual assault is rape and rape is just one form of sexual assault? In other words, just because someone was sexually assaulted doesn't mean that they were rape? In smaller words, a woman's ass who was grabbed was indeed sexually assaulted, but that act alone doesn't mean she was raped?

Can't have this discussion if you don't know the basics of the language.


I said it before but I mean it this time, I will tap out if you can't answer this very basic, straight forward, plain english question.

than just "being a shitty ex"

that's professional misconduct at the absolute minimum, and ongoing stalking

I think there was a time I would have read an account like this an only be interested to see if a crime had been committed too.

But why? If dude treated someone like shit and tried to blackball them to silence them, why shouldn't she share that story?

If he has a different account, he should share it. But I am guessing from his statement I am guessing he doesn't have a his side of the story that makes him look like less of an asshole.

You say "every situation involving a famous man doesnt need an exposé" but why not? Why are we trying to protect assholes?

broadly, #MeToo was designed to make it hard for rapists, sexual harassers and the like to keep working

your ex being awful to you goes in another category somewhere. im not trivializing her trauma, she has the right to come forth about it. but yeah if every shitty partner (of either gender) deserved to be called out, the stories would never stop

>im not trivializing her trauma<

And I think you need to get clear on what #MeToo is about.

She told her version of events. He can tell his version.

Folks will decide which version is true.

"Everyone has a plan until you punch them in the face. Then they don't have a plan anymore." (c) Mike Tyson

You decided that what she clearly describes as abuse was just her having a 'shitty partner.'

If there was ever a textbook definition of trivializing someone's trauma, this is certainly it.

>But i'll let others educate you, if they have the patience,

>don't.

anyway, for clarity's sake I made sure to look up #MeToo and what it represents. I didnt see anything in Chloe Dykstra's story that falls under that banner

now if you feel that cases like this *should* be lumped in with #MeToo, that lends itself to a separate discussion

as a writer, Im big on words/phrases/ideas and their literal definitions, not what people wish to interpret

so yeah Chris Hardwick is guilty of being a toxic/emotionally abusive lover, but if he did anything that goes with what MeToo is against, she didnt make a great case for that

I posted a link (to you, in fact) to how the FOUNDER of #MeToo describes the intent of the movement. In her own words.

*and*

You really have to stop trying to diminish what Chloe describes. YOU don't get to characterize it how you see fit.

my understanding (confirmed by the link you sent) is that Me Too hones in on sexual violence (or even harassment)

Chloe typed the words "sexual assault" and then didnt really make a great case for it (unless something else happened that she omitted)

Im not here to diminish anything. he denies sexual assault, nothing she said described that, that's all Im going off of

And then accused someone else above of 'semantics' and 'splitting hairs?' C'mon dude... your hypocrisy is showing. Again, you really have to stop. You are out of your depth, here. As Damali says below, this is a blind spot for you and you would do well to a) acknowledge that, and b) shut up.

you've got multiple people showing you where your blind spot is and you refuse to acknowledge you have one and try to learn

YOU don't get to decide or determine what is or isn't a #meToo issue

>you've got multiple people showing you where your blind spot
>is and you refuse to acknowledge you have one and try to
>learn

>YOU don't get to decide or determine what is or isn't a #meToo
>issue

I thought I knew what fell under the hashtag
I double checked and I was correct

you want other things to fall under it, have fun

VICTIMS OF ABUSE AND HARRASSMENT ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN SAY #METOO

the phrase itself is literally an affirmation that this happened to me and i need to speak about it and the very act of them speaking out AUTOMATICALLY falls under #meToo

so FUCK YOU.

listen and learn you fucking mansplaining cretin...you ain't correct about shit cuz it isn't ABOUT YOU.

this is the last time i'm ever going to reply to you. you are a waste of fucking space.

motherfucking babies are in cages so i have NO PATIENCE for y'all today.

FUCK YOU JESSE.

That she was so much younger than him and completely immersed in the culture he somehow named himself king of etched it. He can deny all he wants, too much of this seems perfectly within his persona.

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/details-leaked-text-messages-between-195209484.html


Last week, Chloe Dykstra accused her ex-boyfriend Chris Hardwick of emotional and sexual abuse.

In an explosive essay, she claimed she was forced to have sex with a man 20 years her senior who also forced her to follow strict rules. While she didn't name him outright, many people were quick to speculate that the man she was referring to was Hardwick, who she dated from 2012 to 2014.

Hardwick denied the sexual abuse allegations and said their relationship ended only because she cheated.


That claim is seemingly backed up by a long text exchange between the former couple back in 2014 that was recently leaked by TMZ.

"Some things have recently come to my attention and I believe I have a much more accurate picture about everything that's been going on particularly with you and Sam," Hardwick wrote.


Hardwick goes on to accuse Dykstra of cheating on him with a man he works with and that even though she claimed she wanted a break from their relationships to focus on herself, she still continued to see "Sam."

He also says that what Dykstra and "Sam" did was the "worst thing anyone has ever done" to him. And in so many words — well, a lot of words — he says this will be the last time he ever speaks to her.

RELATED: Who Is Chris Hardwick's Wife? New Details About Lydia Hearst

Dykstra replied saying "please don't" and asked him for a few minutes of his time to talk. When he doesn't reply, she says, "I will always love you." and "I'm sure I'll always regret this."

Seven months later, Dykstra texts him again and asks when they'll be okay.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have texted you," she writes. "I think I just got caught up in a wave. I hope things are awesome with you."


In her original essay, Dykstra admits to having become involved with another man.

She said she and man — presumably Sam — kissed, and when she told Hardwick about it he "turned a total 180" and begged her not to leave him.

"He begged me not to leave him, even told me he was planning to propose; despite stating previously he had no intention to marry me. I knew this all stemmed from his fear of being alone (He actually got engaged very shortly after I left him) so luckily I remained strong in my resolve to leave him, despite my only desire for three years being that he loved me the way I loved him," she wrote.


After the breakup, Dykstra claims Hardwick got her fired and blacklisted her from future work, thus steamrolling her career.
