Andy Dick said he will not enter rehab after he was found slumped over following an apparent crack cocaine-induced overdose.
The comedian bluntly responded, “F–k no,” when asked if he would seek help for his drug problems.
“I’m not going to be in rehab,” he told TMZ in a bizarre video captured inside Dick’s Los Angeles home.
The photographer then asked the “Andy Dick Show” alum, 59, if he felt he was “in a good place right now,” to which Dick replied, “Love it. I’m surrounded by my two friends … it’ll be hard for me to escape them.”
However, Dick then declared that he “will escape.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Dick admitted he smoked crack cocaine with a random man he met on the streets of LA before his overdose.
The stand-up comedian said he took the drugs because he doesn’t “mind doing a little crack every now and then.”
On Tuesday, an alarming video surfaced of the unresponsive comedian sitting on the cement stairs of a building in Hollywood. He sat slumped over as his glasses lay on the ground in front of him.
The former “NewsRadio” star was dressed in a tan jacket, black tee, plaid pajama pants and black Crocs.
In the clip obtained by TMZ, several people attempted to revive Dick and he was offered Narcan, a life-saving medication that quickly reverses opioid overdoses.
Though Dick later told the outlet he was alive and OK, more details about the incident began surfacing.
An eyewitness told The Post that Dick became discolored and needed multiple sprays of Narcan to be saved.
“He was turning blue,” local security guard Shawn Harrell shared. “When I saw him first, he was down, slumped over, and they pushed him up a little bit and he fell backwards. When they finally got him up, his face and hands were blue.”
Dick has battled addiction over the years and has had several run-ins with the law.
