Sober House star Andy Dick was arrested on sexual abuse charges early Saturday morning, following a performance at the Funny Bone club in Huntington, West Virginia. “My old lady knew he was pretty big deal and she wanted a picture with us three in the picture,” accuser Justin Hayes told Radar, who spotted Dick at the local bar Rum Runners after his show. “I went up to tell him—it was loud in the bar and I had to get towards his ear and then he started kissing me on the neck…I backed up and he started going towards my private area. It pissed me off really bad.” An intervening security guard accused Dick of attempting to grab his crotch, leading to the arrest.
Though Dick has a long history of invading personal spaces—from his 2008 groping of an underage girl outside a restaurant in LA (for which he’s on probation), to his physical removal from Jimmy Kimmel Live after grabbing Ivanka Trump, to the tongue bath he gave guests at Comedy Central’s William Shatner Roast, the comedian has asked fans to not to assume the worst. “There are two sides to every story,” he responded via Dr. Drew Pinsky‘s Twitter. “Please reserve judgment until you hear mine. Thank you.” Dick, having posted bail was back at the Funny Bone Saturday night, joking “are there any cops in the building?” According to the club owner, there were about thirty.
