Andy Dick charged with misdemeanor sexual battery

Andy Dick is facing more legal consequences for allegedly groping people.

The comedian, 52, has been charged with misdemeanor sexual battery and misdemeanor simple battery, TMZ reported. A woman claimed Dick had squeezed her butt twice and made lewd comments as he walked past her on a Los Angeles sidewalk.

Dick also allegedly groped people on the set of a movie he was working on last year, but he denied all claims.

“I didn’t grope anybody. I might have kissed somebody on the cheek to say goodbye and then licked them,” he admitted to The Hollywood Reporter. “That’s my thing — I licked Carrie Fisher at a roast. It’s me being funny. I’m not trying to sexually harass people.”

He was ultimately fired from the film.

In March 2018, Dick’s wife, Lena Sved, was granted a temporary restraining order against him after following two incidents involving an allegedly intoxicated Dick.

He was ordered to stay away from Sved and their two children, Jacob and Meg.
