Bisexual comedian Andy Dick was violently attacked in New Orleans over the weekend.
The assault happened last Saturday after he had finished a show at One Eyed Jack’s in the French Quarter. Dick was outside waiting for an Uber at around 2 a.m. when a man approached him from behind.
“Andy was standing in front of the club when the guy cold cocked him while he was talking to someone,” Dick’s booking agent, Robert Couvillion, explains. “Andy’s head fell into the wall, then fell into the motorcycle, then cracked on the cement.”
The 53-year-old comedian was knocked unconscious for about 15 minutes. An ambulance took him to a local hospital, where he was treated in the ICU for head injuries.
“We thought he was dead,” says Couvillion. “It was really bad.”
Dick had been scheduled to perform a second show at One Eyed Jack’s but it had to be canceled. Couvillion says he will probably never book another show in New Orleans again.
He is currently recovering at home in Los Angeles.
CCTV caught the whole thing on tape and NOPD later arrested 46-year-old David Hale in connection to the attack. He was was booked into the Orleans Parish Justice Center for second degree battery and simple battery on Monday.
In 2009, Dick told New York Daily News that he identified as a “try-sexual,” saying, “I’ll try anything. I really have tried everything, except nothing with animals. There’s only room for one animal. That would be me.”
How about we take this to the next level?

He added, “I say, ‘I’m bi, my love knows no gender,’ and the straight community says, ‘Oh right, that’s just a cover-up – you’re gay!’ And the gay community says, ‘Yeah right, that’s just a cover-up – you’re gay.’ They both want to push me gay.”

It’s really annoying how people still look at “gay” as if it’s some one dimensional, limiting, horrible thing to be called. Then again, a lot of people still frame “gay” as almost an accusation, which is rarely how any of these other some odd amount of identities are presented. But even at his peak of popularity in the late 90’s I doubt “gays” were trying to claim him. And if they did, the desire to ended quickly. Yet, despite all the drunken tirades and groping of unsuspecting strangers and general lack of talent or any sort of appeal, I do hope he recovers.

So does Everyone in New Orleans and Los Angeles. EVERYONE KNOWS DAVE HALE IS LYING Even his best friends are turning on him! He told the guys that night he did it because Andy Dick grabbed her genitals but when his sister wouldn’t lie for him he changed his story! Dave hale beat up a guy really bad at the Siberia one night and the guy was nearly killed. Everyone talked about it for like two years. Hale is violent and a town BULLY!

The man’s name is out there, but no one has any idea what he was motivated by.

Based on the stories I’ve heard about his behavior, I’m surprised to didn’t happen years ago.

Supposedly Andy had groped the man earlier that night. But naturally it’s his word against ” hers “.
DaveHale4PRISON
I AGREE & a person can’t go around beating people and them claiming he did it because they touched him its a LIE anyway and everyone including his sister from the band The Unnaturals is saying she will not lie to cover up his crimes.

He’s a horrible excuse for a human being.
Juanjo
He’s certainly no one that I am particularly fond of but that does not excuse the attack on him. Does it? Hmmmm?
nitejonboy
Good, I hope he stays out of Louisiana forever…he shot a movie in my city, five hours north of New Orleans, and while downtown shooting a scene, he sexually accosted a florist putting flowers in a vehicle and she dropped a giant glass arrangement all over, he wouldn’t even pay for it, just fukin kept on walking. He cannot keep his damn hands to himself, someone ought to chop them off!! STAY OUT OF OUR STATE, FREAK!!
