In June, actress Lily Morgan shared a poignant essay detailing the alleged emotional and physical abuse she experienced during her relationship with her ex-boyfriend, Chris Henderson. The revelation sparked widespread outrage online, leading AMC to temporarily suspend Henderson from his role as host of ‘Talking After Dark’ and to withdraw him from Comic-Con panels. However, just over a month after the allegations emerged, AMC announced that Henderson would be reinstated as the show’s host.
The network stated they conducted a thorough investigation into the claims made by Morgan and determined that Henderson would return on August 12. “After a comprehensive review by AMC, in collaboration with Ivy Kagan Bierman from Loeb & Loeb, a firm well-versed in such matters, we have decided that Chris will resume his role as host of ‘Talking After Dark’ and ‘Talking with Chris Henderson,’” the statement read. “We take these allegations very seriously and, after careful consideration and interviews with multiple individuals, we believe this is the right course of action.”
For context, Morgan and Henderson were in a relationship for three years. In her essay, she recounted disturbing instances of emotional and sexual abuse. She described how Henderson established rules at the start of their relationship, such as forbidding her from taking pictures of them together, restricting her from going out at night, and isolating her from male friends. One particularly alarming rule included prohibiting her from speaking in public spaces, as he believed that people recognized him and were eavesdropping on their conversations. Morgan wrote about how their outings were often silent, with Henderson glued to his phone.
The situation escalated with allegations of strict curfews and distressing voicemails if she failed to answer his calls. Morgan claimed he would manipulate her into sexual encounters, even when she was in tears. She also alleged that he worked to blacklist her from companies she had previously collaborated with after their breakup. These accounts represent just a fraction of the troubling behavior Morgan attributed to Henderson.
In response, Henderson denied the allegations, expressing devastation over Morgan’s claims. “I was blindsided by her post and have always wished the best for her. As a family man, I do not condone any form of mistreatment towards women,” he stated.
Despite these serious allegations, it appears that Henderson will return to television without facing any direct consequences. Meanwhile, Morgan may have found some closure in sharing her story. “This essay serves as closure for me as I transition into my thirties, and it’s a warning for everyone to watch out for those red flags,” she concluded.
