16. something independent

Chris Hardwick of AMC TV's Talking Dead show was accused of similar by his ex girlfriend. AMC suspended Hardwick pending an investigation and installed Yvette Nicole Brown as hostess while they looked into Hardwick. They hired an outside firm to investigate and it was determined the charges were without merit and Hardwick returned to his position.
