Talking With Chris Hardwick cancelled? The upcoming second season of the AMC talk show is facing potential cancellation amid emotional and sexual abuse claims against the titular host, Deadline reports:
Hours after an ex-girlfriend accused Chris Hardwick of emotional and sexual abuse, AMC is now feeling Hollywood heat to pull the plug on the debut of Season 2 of the host’s talk show.
The AMC and Embassy Row produced Talking With Chris Hardwick is set to have its second cycle premiere air at 11:02 PM ET on June 17. We hear that guests’ reps are telling the cabler that they are now “very uncomfortable” with the association with Hardwick in the #MeToo and Time’s Up era of Hollywood after months of sexual harassment and sexual assault revelations in the industry. At the very least, the reps are pressuring to have the debut postponed until the claims against Hardwick are throughly investigated, some have advocated.
Stay tuned…

I won’t say I can’t believe it but why do these women always come forward after the fact and not during. You can say they are scared but years ago I was dating an abusive man and I left the city and moved elsewhere. He found me and at 4:00 a.m. one morning he slashed all the tires on my car. The neighbor saw him and gave us a description, the cops in his city were waiting for him when he got home. We went to court and that was the end of it. He didn’t want to be deported so he left me alone. With these people in the lime lite all the time there is lots of protection for them than for us lowly peasants.

Hope they don’t cancel his Talking Dead show.

The lives of artist should be private and should not interfere in his or her work as actors and actresses. In the end, it is the public and fans who suffer the most when their programs are cancelled. Women should not be so scared to go to police and state how they are being abused but many know deep inside when they are meeting a man that they are going to be abusers. I had a boyfriend and a month after we started, I was at the university cafeteria at lunch time and laughing and having a good time with some of my classmates which happened to be men. There comes my boyfriend with this hellish face, took me by my wrist and start yelling to me that, what was I doing with all those men?, that if I was a whore?. I hit him with my bag which was quite heavy and I replied that we were finished and I was not used to be treated like scum from any man and yelled at him to get out and don’t ever looked at me again if he didn’t wanted to get hurt. All of my friends got up and applaud and told him if he ever gets near me again they will have his head, lol. When you go steady with an abuser they always show some signs. Bad looks, bad talk, jealousy, taking you away from friends, wanting to be alone with you all the time and no friends ever. You see this girls, run.
