Former 'Newsradio' Star Andy Dick Back in Rehab - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 06-28-2012, 10:33 AM

Dick, who has struggled with drug and alcohol addictions for years, checked into the Oasis Treatment Center in California on Tuesday after concerned friends and co-workers staged an intervention during filming for his Internet TV show “Andy Dick Live!”

Dick’s boss Alki David confronted the star about his demons during one recent episode and then gave him an ultimatum: conquer his troubles in rehab once and for all or quit the show.

David told the embattled comic, “I told you the other day, if this continues, we can’t carry on. And if you decide to leave and not do that (check into rehab), I’m afraid that we can’t carry on here together.”

Dick, 46, was moved to tears by the intervention and hugged the cast and crew after admitting he had been through “ups and downs.”

He was then escorted to the medical facility in Anaheim, where he enrolled in a treatment program, reports Celebuzz.com.

It is Dick’s latest desperate attempt for sobriety – he has been in and out of rehab more than 10 times and has hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons of late following numerous arrests and lawsuits.

He was ejected from an adult entertainment awards ceremony in Las Vegas last year after allegedly pestering a porn star, while he was also accused of flashing his genitals in a Los Angeles coffee shop in 2010 and arrested for reportedly wandering into a random house in Los Angeles in the middle of the night.

Every time I see Andy Dick's name in a thread title, for a split second I think it's announcing his death. I'm glad that's not the case this time.

I hope he can finally get better.

I was just thinking the same thing. I don't think this is going to end well if he doesn't get help.

I hope he gets his act together before he becomes the next celebrity to die from an overdose.

Jon Lovitz would love to see Andy OD.

He's a mega talent, I hope he finds happiness outside of substance abuse.

Andy Dick reportedly had on-set handler to avoid sexual harassment on an NBC high school sitcom
A woman who wished to remain anonymous describes to The Hollywood Reporter how she became Dick's handler on the short-lived 2001 high school sitcom Go Fish, which starred Kieran Culkin, Adam Brody and JoAnna Garcia Swisher. She alleged that Dick tried to lock one of the 19-year-old cast members in his dressing room and expose his penis. “Needless to say Andy hated me and groaned, rolled his eyes and sighed anytime he saw me come around,” the woman said of Dick, who was charged last week with groping a woman in Los Angeles.
