Andy Dick has spoken out about last week's violent encounter withhis good friend Jon Lovitz over a long-standing feud relating to comedian Phil Hartman's death. He told ManiaTV.com's Tom Green Live that the fight started out as a joke. "I thought. 'he's doing a funny.' One of those characters. Like 'that's the ticket. I'll throw you against the wall -- that's the ticket.' But it wasn't one of his funny little characters."
Lovitz said he hit Dick after Dick told him he put a "Phil Hartman hex on him" and said that he'd be "the next to die." During the ManiaTV appearance, Dick said he's still sad about Hartman's death, claiming that Hartman was the only comic buddy who called him during his rehab stint for cocaine.
But when it comes to Lovitz, Dick doesn't have so many fond words. Dick said, The guy is trying to f*** with my livelihood. I'm like a papa bear here. He's trying to f*** with my kid's future. I feel bad that my kids have to see anything Lovitz would have to say -- let alone his bad characters."
The fight took place last week at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles. Security had to break it up.
