Andy Dick’s Rep Claims He Was ‘Just Drinking’ and ‘Fell Asleep’ After Reports of Dramatic Overdose

After it was reported that comedian Andy Dick allegedly suffered an overdose and was seen unresponsive in public, his rep tells the National Enquirer that he was just sleeping.

“He’s fine,” his rep said following the Tuesday, December 9, ordeal. “They were filming part of a documentary as well as a live stream. He was just drinking heavily and fell asleep.”

Downplaying TMZ’s report that Narcan — a medication used to reverse opioid overdoses — was apparently requested and administered at the scene, the rep directed concerned fans to the 59-year-old’s new movie.

“Be sure to watch his new movie T Bird that aired last month,” the rep said, pointing Enquirer to the IMDB page for more information on “his latest film work.”

The rep’s claim that Dick’s behavior was due to drinking contradicts TMZ’s earlier report that he apparently overdosed.

Photos obtained by the outlet showed the comedian slumped over and unresponsive on a set of cement steps with his black-rimmed glasses on the ground in front of him.

Friends and bystanders reportedly rushed to help, some shouting “Wake up,” before someone called 911. The Los Angeles Police Department also responded to the scene, per the outlet.

Dick was not transported to the hospital.

Hours later, TMZ said they reached Dick by phone. He didn’t offer details on what happened but confirmed he was alive and doing fine.

Dick is best known for roles in Zoolander and the TV sitcom NewsRadio. He has a long history of substance abuse and has been open about being in and out of rehab.
