Current Events > TIL Andy Dick prob had some direct/indirect influence in Phil Hartman's death

(+) Yeah! (+)

from Wikipedia:

Dick has had an ongoing dispute with former NewsRadio costar Jon Lovitz concerning the death of their mutual friend Phil Hartman. According to Lovitz, Dick had given Hartman's wife Brynn cocaine at a Christmas party at Hartman's house in 1997; Brynn, a recovering addict, fell back into drug use, culminating in her killing Hartman and herself on May 28, 1998. When Lovitz joined the cast of NewsRadio as Hartman's replacement, he and Dick got into an argument in which Lovitz reportedly said "I wouldn't be here if you hadn't given Brynn coke in the first place." Lovitz reportedly later apologized to Dick for the remark.[57]
In early 2007, Dick approached Lovitz at a restaurant and said "I put the Phil Hartman hex on youyou're the next to die."[58] On July 10, 2007, Lovitz got into a physical confrontation with Dick at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles. Lovitz demanded an apology from Dick, who refused and accused Lovitz of blaming him for Hartman's death. Lovitz then smashed Dick's head into the bar.[58]

I also heard that he might have helped fuel Chris Farley's cocaine habit

Yeah, he's a POS

bump

Lovitz then smashed Dick's head into the bar

The hero we need.

---

Yeah, I've loved Jon Lovitz ever since learning about him beating the shit out of him.

---

Well that's awful

---

Is he literally trying to kill comedy?

---

Andy Dick is kind of a monster, yeah.

---

Andy Dick is an insane individual who should have been cancelled long before cancel culture was a thing.

Dude is a legitimate POS who loves to sexually harass people and push buttons in all sorts of unnecessary ways.

---

Holy shit I need to tell my mom about this.
---

So lovitz is awesome-er

---

Andy Dick is a POS and a train wreck of a human being.

That being said he can actually be pretty funny.

Check out the movie, Mom and Dave Save the World. Weird movie. Lovitz plays the villain perfectly, though.

---

Lovitz is a badass

---

I really liked Andy Dick when he had his show on MTV, but then I found out about all the stuff hed done and just how creepy is is

Was a big fan of Lovitz but I lost a ton of respect for him when he did an interview for a local radio station here. He was just a huge douche the entire time. I still like him though and what he did to Andy is always fun to read

one more

---

yup andy dick seems like a real piece of shit, shame we lost Phil Hartman instead of him tbh

---

Yep. He's a piece of shit. Dunno why comedians still have him on their podcasts.
---

More people should beat up Andy Dick

---

Jon Lovitz is so underrated. The teacher from High School High was such a perfect character for him.

Hartman's one of my favorite comedians, so I've known about this for awhile. Incredibly heartbreaking for his children. Imagine living knowing... what they know.

---

I mean as messed up as it was to give cocaine to a recovering addict, can he really be blamed for a murder/suicide?

---

yes

Jon Lovitz stayed at a spa I worked at for a week. He was routinely smashed looking and probably on drugs with a very not attractive looking escort type lady
