Andy Dick Breaks Silence After Frightening Street Overdose Scare
So, this is a pretty intense story, and it’s been making the rounds everywhere. Comedian Andy Dick has spoken out after what appeared to be a drug overdose, and the whole situation unfolded in a really alarming way. He’s 59 now, and earlier in the day he was seen slumped over on a set of concrete stairs in Hollywood. Photos showed him hunched forward, not moving, with his glasses lying on the ground in front of him. In another image, he was flat on his back while someone stood over him, clearly concerned.
Eyewitnesses said that several of his friends rushed over the moment they realized something was wrong. They tried to shake him awake, calling out to him, while others were already dialing for an ambulance. According to reports, Narcan was administered — that’s the emergency medication used to reverse opioid overdoses — and it seems to have worked quickly. A representative from the Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed he wasn’t taken to the hospital afterward, which suggests he was alert enough to remain at the scene.

Later that night, Andy actually called TMZ and said he was “alive” and “OK,” though he didn’t want to get into the specifics of what happened. It was one of those brief, to-the-point check-ins where he clearly wanted people to know he was still here but wasn’t ready to talk details. Page Six tried reaching out as well but didn’t get a response.
Andy’s struggles with addiction have been known for years. Back in 2021, he even launched a podcast where he talked to therapists, recovery experts, and spiritual leaders in an attempt to get himself on a healthier path. He’s been open about dealing with substance issues and even described having a sex addiction during one of those recorded sessions. His name has also been tied to several legal cases, including groping allegations and a 2018 conviction that required him to register as a sex offender.
Seeing him in such a vulnerable moment on the street really reminded people just how ongoing and difficult recovery can be. Even with professional help, support networks, and public acknowledgment, addiction doesn’t just disappear. The fact that Narcan had to be used shows how serious things became, and how quickly the situation could have gone the other way.
For now, though, he’s confirmed he’s alive and recovering from the episode. It’s uncertain whether he’ll speak out in more detail later on, but the hope is that this becomes a turning point — a moment that pushes him closer to stability, sobriety, and better days.
