CNN reported that Chloe Dykstra is speaking out after her ex-boyfriend, TV host Chris Hardwick, denied allegations he sexually and emotionally abused her. 29-year-old Dykstra recently posted an essay on Medium in which she detailed an almost three-year relationship with an older celebrity who she said imposed strict rules on her behavior. The actress didn't name Hardwick specifically, but described her ex as someone who "grew from a mildly successful podcaster to a powerhouse CEO of his own company." Following the article's publication, Hardwick faced immediate fallout, with AMC suspending his talk show. Hardwick has responded to the article, saying that their relationship was "not perfect" but he denies ever sexually assaulting her. In a tweet on Wednesday, Dykstra thanked the public for "the outpouring of support and love" and said she hopes her story will help others go public with their own.
