Clearly Andy Dicks behavior is reprehensible, he wrote.
Sadly he has not.
We no longer use him on our show.
He has since been fired from both movies.
Dick denied the groping allegations toTHRbut confirmed other aspects of the outlets reporting.
I didnt grope anybody.
I might have kissed somebody on the cheek to say goodbye and then licked them.
Thats my thing, he said.
I licked Carrie Fisher at a roast.
Its me being funny.
Im not trying to sexually harass people.
I didnt grab anybodys genitals … Of course Im going to proposition people.
Im single, depressed, lonely and trying to get a date.
They can just say no, and they probably did and then I was done.
Dick could not be reached for immediate comment on Paiges allegations of assault or Apatows response.
Dicks history of alleged sexual misconduct goes back decades.
