. He also said that he “overtook my medication and took too many Xanax and I was a bit loopy” — the actor has been in and out of rehab north of a dozen times — but “that didn’t make me rape people.”

"I don't know the difference between sexual harassment and trying to get a date,” Dick continued. “In the '70s, all the girlfriends I got was by kissing and licking their cheek. I don't know anymore. There were beautiful women and beautiful guys on the set. I flirt with them. I might kiss someone on the set and ask them to go to dinner. They are the ones that took it south."

As for the allegations that ultimately got him fired from Raising Buchanan, Dick said, “I might have kissed somebody on the cheek to say goodbye and then licked them. That’s my thing.”

Dick is right on at least one count: Nonconsensual sexual advances are, according to both himself and many alleged victims over many years, his “thing.” Such behavior has reportedly been a regular part of how he functions in Hollywood for years — and yet here he is once again, saying he doesn’t understand why people are so upset.

Dick has a long, documented history of fending off sexual harassment and assault accusations

Though Dick was once known as the sharp comedian from NewsRadio, he has long since been associated more with his intoxicated and disruptive behavior. Backstage whispers about a drunken Dick crashing shows and sets and groping people have been prevalent in Hollywood and beyond for years.

At New York’s Upright Citizens Brigade Theater, the improv group Asssscat — originally composed of UCB founders Amy Poehler, Ian Thomas, Matt Walsh, and Matt Besser — reportedly performed a recurring bit in which they’d ask the members of their audience to raise their hands if they had ever ridden an elephant or been sexually assaulted by Dick, with the latter group outnumbering the former.

And on the opposite coast, Dick’s reputation is so well known that “everybody has an Andy Dick story” is an LA aphorism.

That observation is so common, in fact, that Dick himself has been known to lean into his own terrible reputation. In the first season of Netflix’s Love, he played a rock-bottoming version of himself who admitted he maybe got drunk and “gropey.”
. He also said that he “ overtook my medication and take excessively many Xanax and I was a bit loopy ” — the actor has been in and out of rehab north of a dozen times — but “ that did n’t cause me rape people. ” 

 " I don't know the deviation between sexual harassment and trying to scram a date, ” Dick continued. “ In the' 70s, all the girlfriends I drive was by kissing and lick their boldness. I don't know anymore. There were beautiful women and beautiful guys on the set. I chat up with them. I might kiss someone on the set and ask them to blend to dinner. They are the ones that took it south. "
