My insane week with Andy Dick — including getting kicked out of a strip club — before he threatened to kick me in the head
My insane week with Andy Dick: chaos, controversy, and confrontation
Spending a week with Andy Dick is nothing short of an unpredictable rollercoaster. The comedian, known for his eccentric antics and turbulent lifestyle, took me on a journey filled with wild parties, unexpected fights, and moments that blurred the line between comedy and chaos. From being ejected from a strip club in West Hollywood to a heated confrontation where he threatened to kick me in the head, this experience revealed the darker, more volatile side of a man who once captivated audiences on NBC’s hit sitcom *NewsRadio*.
The strip club incident: vodka gimlets, lap dances, and a bouncer’s intervention
It all began at the Star Strip Cabaret, a flashy all-nude club nestled in the heart of West Hollywood. Andy was in high spirits, fueled by four vodka gimlets, two beers, and multiple hits of marijuana. As he enjoyed a lap dance, his behavior quickly escalated. Andy grabbed the dancer’s buttocks and attempted to wrap his arms around her waist, crossing a line that led to immediate consequences. The dancer, initially giving him a second chance, soon lost patience when Andy couldn’t control himself.
“Oh shut up, you bitch,” Andy sang out in a sing-song voice as a burly bouncer stepped in and escorted us both out of the club. This moment was a stark reminder of the volatile mix of substance abuse and impulsive behavior that often surrounded Andy during this period of his life.
Behind the scenes: a week of wild antics and raw honesty
Over the next several days, I witnessed firsthand the highs and lows of Andy Dick’s chaotic world. At a party, he took a massive hit from a pot pipe and immediately became sick, revealing the physical toll his lifestyle was taking. Despite the turmoil, Andy was candid and unfiltered, sharing stories about his past, including his troubled childhood and the bizarre ways he viewed his career.
One night at a Sunset Strip bar, what appeared to be a friendly hug turned into a shocking moment when the man Andy embraced cried out, “He bit me!” The crowd buzzed with rumors of altercations, including Andy’s claim that Wesley Snipes had punched him in the chest after demanding he bow down. Whether true or exaggerated, these stories painted a picture of a man constantly embroiled in conflict.
Amid the chaos, Andy showed glimpses of vulnerability. He introduced me to his backyard garden, where he tenderly fed baby frogs, a stark contrast to his public persona. Yet, even in moments of tenderness, his dark humor surfaced. When I asked about his late friend David Strickland, who had tragically taken his own life, Andy shockingly shouted, “I wish it was you killing yourself with no one there,” before quickly insisting he was joking.
The fallout: threats and a fractured relationship
After our week together, I published a story titled “Life as A. Dick,” capturing the raw and unvarnished reality of my time with the comedian. The reaction was immediate and intense. Andy called me, furious and ranting, accusing me of betrayal and insulting my appearance and character. He was in New York City and challenged me to meet him in Central Park at midnight, threatening to kick me in the head.
“Andy,” I said, “everything in the story was true. Why did you do all that stuff if you didn’t want me to write about it?” His simple response was, “Dude, I thought we were hanging out.” This statement encapsulated the tragic disconnect between Andy’s perception of friendship and the consequences of his actions.
Conclusion
My insane week with Andy Dick was a whirlwind of wild behavior, shocking confrontations, and moments of unexpected honesty. It revealed the complexities of a man struggling with fame, addiction, and personal demons.
