Andy Dick Rubbed Ivanka Trump’s ‘Sparkling’ Leg, Video Resurfaces After Comedian’s Arrest
In relation to Comedian Andy Dick getting arrested and charged with sexual misdemeanor earlier this week, a video of him rubbing Ivanka Trump's leg on a talk show back in 2007 resurfaced on social media.
The edited video is from the time Dick and Trump appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and the comedian seemed to be oddly fascinated by his co-guest’s shiny legs.
In the less-than-a-minute long video clip, Trump looked uncomfortable as she sat beside Dick, turning her back to him as she conversed with Kimmel. At one point she paused in the middle of an answer to tell the talk show host, “I have no idea what he’s doing,” whipping her head to the other side to check what Dick was doing.
While Dick appeared to be innocently sipping whatever was in his cup, moments later, he mumbled something about checking out the “glitter” on Trump’s leg as her legs were sparkling under the lights of the studio, and reached out to touch her shin.
Instead of doing everything she could to stop his attempt, Trump gave an animated appearance, laughed out loud and slapped away his hand playfully. “Don’t touch Ivanka,” Kimmel told Dick. However, both of their efforts went futile as he continued to rub her legs.
After a while Kimmel had to get up from his chair and go around the guests’ couch to physically restrain Dick and keep him from touching Trump’s legs. The late night host, however, kept things light, telling Dick, “Donald Trump will kill both of us.”
Trump played along too. “Did I say I was single? I meant I have a boyfriend!” she said, despite not reportedly dating anyone back then.
Even after being admonished, Dick tried to touch Trump’s blonde ponytail and her arm. Although not seen in the clip, Kimmel called the security guards and with their help, carried Dick off the stage and away from Trump after warning the comedian to behave himself.
“He always makes me a little uncomfortable. You have no idea what he’s going to do next,” he said after Dick had been taken backstage. Kimmel later revealed of the incident that Dick had wanted a “big, wet kiss” from Trump when they first greeted each other.
Dick proudly recalled that incident last year in one of his Instagram posts. He posted a screenshot of the clip, captioning it: “The time I 'groped' Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Her legs were sparkling, and I was trying to see if the glitter would wipe off. I also mistakenly thought she would date me. I was jokingly carried off by security. Is anybody going to carry Trump off? No joke. Confusing times.”
The video resurfaced after the comedian was arrested and charged with misdemeanor sexual battery and misdemeanor simple battery in regard to an incident back in April where he allegedly groped a woman’s buttocks, who was passing him on the streets in Los Angeles and made lewd comments to her, People Magazine reported Monday.
Back in 2017, at least four staffers working in the production team of the independent feature “Raising Buchanan” accused Dick of groping, kissing, licking people’s cheeks, and making sexual proposals to women on the set. In a statement to the Hollywood Reporter, Dick denied some of the allegations, while admitting that he did lick people’s faces and gave out proposals.
“I didn’t grope anybody. I might have kissed somebody on the cheek to say goodbye and then licked them. That’s my thing,” he claimed. “I licked Carrie Fisher at a roast. It’s me being funny. I’m not trying to sexually harass people. I didn’t grab anybody’s genitals.”
“Of course I’m going to proposition people. I’m single, depressed, lonely and trying to get a date. They can just say no, and they probably did and then I was done,” he added.
