Andy Dick is speaking out a day after photos emerged of him slumped over against a building in Hollywood.

The 59-year-old “Andy Dick Show” star sat down for an interview with TMZ on Dec. 10 and explained the incident as two unidentified friends sat on either side of him.

“Doesn’t it look like I’m 100% fine? A hundred and 10 percent,” he told the cameraman. The comedian claimed that on Dec. 9, he’d come across “a guy that was my age” on the sidewalk. After sitting with him, Dick alleged the man “whipped out” some “crack.”

“I wanted to see what he was doing. And also, I don’t mind doing a little crack every now and then,” Dick said.

A friend sitting to his right, who’d explained he was livestreaming the incident, told the cameraman that he’d run to get Narcan, a nasal spray medication commonly used to immediately treat opioid overdoses.

 

When reached by USA TODAY, a representative for the Los Angeles Fire Department, which reportedly was called to the scene, said that “without the patient’s written consent, the LAFD cannot confirm identities or release any protected details.”

Dick’s representative Trevor Simms told USA TODAY, “He’s fine and encourages everyone see his new film ‘T Bird’ streaming now on major platforms.”

According to the National Library of Medicine, crack cocaine is “heated to make it into a rock crystal” and is smoked. Overdosing on cocaine, which is “very addictive,” can cause strokes, seizures, irregular heartbeat and heart attacks, but “no specific medicine” can treat an overdose event.

 

In the 12 months ending in April 2025 — the most recent data available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — more than 73,000 overdose deaths were reported in the U.S.

The “Employee of the Month” actor has been open about his struggles with addiction over the years and released a short-lived podcast called “ADICKTED with Andy Dick” in 2021.

He’s also had multiple run-ins with the law over the years, including for several alleged sexual battery incidents. Dick was ordered to register as a sex offender after he was convicted in 2022 of groping a rideshare driver in Los Angeles County four years earlier, according to the Los Angeles Times.
