UPDATED: Rob Kazinsky Says He’s Seen Proof of Chris Hardwick’s Abuse of Chloe Dykstra
UPDATE: Actor Robert Kazinsky says that he has seen evidence of Chloe Dykstra’s claims of sexual and emotional abuse at the hands of Chris Hardwick. Kazinsky, who is Dykstra’s boyfriend, posted to Twitter to back up Dykstra’s claims that she has audio and video evidence which proves many of her claims against the Talking Dead host and former CEO of Nerdist Industries.
Kazinsky, best known for his work on True Blood and as Orgrim Warhammer in the Warcraft movie, added that he’s known about the situation for years but that it wasn’t his story to tell. He added, he’s “even had to work with [Hardwick] and his accomplices, [Dykstra] supported me through that like a god damn soldier.” Kazinsky also said he’s spoken to the people who told Dykstra that Hardwick had her blacklisted. You can see his posts below:
As @hardwick has chosen to deny Chloe’s account, I’ll take the opportunity to say I have seen the proof myself, I have seen the evidence first hand, I’ve seen the people who have come forward to tell @skydart how Chris ordered her blacklisted, there isn’t just one, there are many

For years the pain @skydart carried around was overwhelming, and even now @hardwick doesn’t have the decency to offer first an apology to the woman he destroyed intentionally. That’s all that mattered.

ORIGINAL: As we reported yesterday, actress Chloe Dykstra wrote an open letter detailing sexual and emotional abuse from a former boyfriend that many believed to be comedian and Talking Dead host Chris Hardwick. In a statement to Deadline, Hardwick not only confirmed that he was the person she was talking about, but denied her claims that he sexually assaulted her.
He said: “These are very serious allegations and not to be taken lightly which is why I’ve taken the day to consider how to respond. I was heartbroken to read Chloe’s post. Our three year relationship was not perfect—we were ultimately not a good match and argued—even shouted at each other—but I loved her, and did my best to uplift and support her as a partner and companion in any way and at no time did I sexually assault her. When we were living together, I found out that Chloe had cheated on me, and I ended the relationship. For several weeks after we broke up, she asked to get back together with me and even told me she wanted to have kids with me, ‘build a life’ with me and told me that I was ‘the one,’ but I did not want to be with someone who was unfaithful. I’m devastated to read that she is now accusing me of conduct that did not occur. l was blindsided by her post and always wanted the best for her. As a husband, a son, and future father, I do not condone any kind of mistreatment of women.“
