Dick allegedly groped people’s genitals, kissed and licked people without their consent, and proposed sex to at least four members of the production. Dick denied the groping allegations but told The Hollywood Reporter it was possible he licked people and did make sexual advances.
In November 2021, Dick was reportedly arrested for allegedly hitting his partner with a liquor bottle. He faced a felony domestic battery charge in connection with the incident, which happened at his Los Angeles home. Dick was released from custody after posting a $50,000 bond.
Just last month, Dick was involved in another shocking live stream moment.
