Andy Dick’s Rep Claims Troubled Comedian ‘Only’ Drinks ‘to the Point of Drunkenness’ When He’s in L.A.

The man acting as Andy Dick’s representative is clarifying details on the troubled comedian’s alleged drinking habits.

After TMZ reported that the 59-year-old suffered an apparent overdose on the street in Los Angeles on December 9 and he later admitted to doing “some crack every now and then,” the outlet reported that his alcohol ingestion may be far more worrisome.

Multiple sources claimed that Dick can drink “more than a fifth of vodka a day.”

When asked for comment by the National Enquirer, director Trevor Simms — who is acting as the comedian’s representative — said, “This could only be true during the brief time that he spends in Hollywood.”

Simms is the writer, star and director of the film T Bird, which was released last month and credits Dick for playing himself in the cast.

“The majority of his time is spent with his family in Hemet, CA, where he has grandchildren,” said Simms. “While in Hemet, every day his ex-wife/baby mama prepares several gallons of water with a few shots of vodka in it. He drinks the vodka water mixture all day, several gallons, and mostly lives a normal life out of the spotlight. While the vodka water may not get him very drunk, it’s a coping strategy for his alcohol addiction.”

Simms then claimed that Dick only drinks “to the point of drunkenness” when he visits Los Angeles, adding: “His mostly calm days [are enjoyed] sitting in his reclining chair, with his water vodka mixture, and typically watching the same movie every day (this month it’s T Bird).”

On December 9, eyewitnesses were stunned to find Dick on a public staircase, appearing lifeless. Narcan was reportedly administered on the scene, likely saving his life.

Following Dick’s apparent OD, Simms told the National Enquirer that the comedian is “fine.”

“They were filming part of a documentary as well as a live stream,” he claimed. “He was just drinking heavily and fell asleep.”

As the Enquirer previously reported, Dick said he refuses to go to rehab. The NewsRadio alum has reportedly been in and out of rehab close to 20 times.
