Andy Dick Sued Over His Eponymous Part

In an age where even the cheapest cellular phones also can record video, everything a person does in public can become Exhibit A in a tort suit. Just look at Robert Tucker v. Andrew R. Dick a/k/a Andy Dick et al., which was filed in a Dallas district court on May 10.

Dick, who appeared on NBC’s “NewsRadio” in the 1990s, is an actor-comedian known for his outrageous behavior. In his petition, Tucker alleges that he attended a Dec. 19, 2010, performance billed as a “Stocking Stuffer Comedy Tour” at the Dallas nightclub Trees. As alleged, Tucker asked Dick for an autograph during the performance, and Dick pulled a barstool next to Tucker. “Andy Dick then grabbed Plaintiff’s head and shoulders to raise himself on top of the barstool. Andy Dick then took control of Plaintiff’s head with his left hand and pulled down his costume skirt with his right hand, exposing the fact that he was not wearing underwear beneath the skirt. Defendant Dick then, while still controlling Plaintiff’s head with his hand, forced his genitals against the left side of Plaintiff’s face,” Tucker alleges in the petition.
