Nerdist issues a statement distancing itself from Chris Hardwick after its parent company restored his name to the website

Twitter

“Last week, our parent company completed its investigation into the allegations against Chris Hardwick and issued a statement on our site that reinstated a mention of Hardwick as the founder of Nerdist, which is factually true,” Nerdist said in its statement posted to Twitter, accompanied by abuse prevention hotlines. “This statement is not intended to imply any change in our ongoing support of women and victims, nor does it change our business relationship with Hardwick, which concluded in 2017.”
