Andy Dick fired over harassment allegations

by Eben Griger Actor Andy Dick, 51, has been let go from his role in the film Raising Buchanan after several harassment claims were made against him while he was on set. These claims include sexual propositions, groping and unwanted kissing and licking. In an interview, Dick denied groping people’s genitals but did admit to licking people and propositioning them for sex. “That’s my thing,” Dick said referencing the licking. “It’s me being funny. I’m not trying to sexually harass people.” Dick is known for his contentious comedy and behavior, both of which are often intentionally controversial. “My middle name is ‘misconduct.’ They know what they signed up for,” Dick told The Hollywood Reporter. Why anyone would want to be proud of that, I have no idea. The list of sexual assaults in Hollywood keep growing, with Harvey Weinstein, James Toback, Bill O’Reillly, Roy Price, Chris Savino and now Kevin Spacey all having allegations coming out against them.
