Over the decades, Dick has been transparent about his alcohol and drug abuse, and have had a string of arrests that have made news headlines.
In November 2021, Dick was arrested for felony domestic battery after he allegedly hit his boyfriend in the head with a liquor bottle.
According to police, Dick and his boyfriend had been at his home when they got into a heated argument that quickly turned physical. When police were called, they determined there was enough evidence to arrest the comedian, as his boyfriend was allegedly bleeding from a sizable wound on his head.
Dick was released after he posted $50,000 bond.
In October 2021, Dick was allegedly arrested for hitting his boyfriend in the face with a frying pan.
In June 2021, the actor was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon for allegedly attacking a male partner with a metal chair.
Dick also made his $50,000 bail after that altercation.
In 2019, the actor was sentenced to 14 days in jail after being convicted of sexual battery for allegedly squeezing a woman’s rear end. He was released after a single night due to jail overcrowding.

He previously pleaded not guilty to one count of misdemeanor sexual battery in April 2018 after he allegedly groped an Uber driver’s crotch.
Dick’s estranged wife Lena Sved received a domestic violence restraining order against him in 2018, which required him to move out of their home and remain 100 yards away from her and their adult children: Lucas, 33, Jacob, 27, and Meg, 24.
In 2012, he was arrested for allegedly grabbing a 17-year-old girl’s top and pulling it down to expose her breasts.
He was later found with marijuana and pleaded guilty to misdemeanor drug and battery charges, for which he was sentenced to three years of probation.
In 2010, he was arrested for allegedly grabbing a man’s genitals while intoxicated at a West Virginia bar.
In 2007, Dick groped Ivanka Trump during an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live and was pulled off stage by Kimmel’s security staff.
