Another Dick, another Hollywood liberal Democrat adds to the list of Hollywood d-listers being accused of sexual harassment. While the Dick denies that he groped anyone inappropriately, do does admit to “licking” people like parties. Just another day in Harveywood. Doesn’t Andy Dick kinda of look like Anderson Cooper?

The Hollywood Reporter was not able to reach any of the alleged victims, however, two sources detailed Dick’s inappropriate behavior, which included groping people’s genitals, unwanted kissing/licking and sexual propositions of at least four members of the production. It’s unclear if those involved were actors or crew.
Late Monday, THR spoke to Dick, who confirmed he was let go from his small role in the film. Though he vehemently denied groping claims, he said it’s possible that he licked people and he confirmed that he did make advances on others.
To anyone who has followed Dick’s legal troubles, his well-documented history of outlandish comedy and often intentionally offensive behavior, his dismissal may not come as a surprise. But the claims can be seen as more unsettling in today’s cultural climate in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal. (Or ousted figures like Bill O’Reilly, Amazon Studios’ Roy Price, political journalist Mark Halperin, The Loud House creator Chris Savino, and the list of accused sexual harassers goes on and now includes Kevin Spacey and director James Toback.)
Dick said he’s aware of his reputation. At first, he made light of the situation, joking that “my middle name is ‘misconduct.’ They know what they signed up for.” However, he followed up with a denial that he ever groped anyone on set.
“I don’t grope people anymore. I don’t expose myself anymore,” he said by telephone. (Also well-documented is his history of exposing his genitals in public and on stage.) “I do understand that the temperature in the world right now is delicate.”
