It has been reported that on July 11 at Hollywood comedy club The Laugh Factory, former Saturday Night Live star Jon Lovitz beat up jokester Andy Dick, whom he blames for fellow SNL alum Phil Hartman's death. In clips released today Dick, 41, denied that things ever got that physical...but he couldn't deny that he might have given Hartman's wife, Brynn, the cocaine that sent her off the wagon and into a downward spiral that eventually led her to kill the comedian and end her own life in 1997.

During a July 23 broadcast of Tom Green Live, Dick explained the Laugh Factory fracas. "I feel like maybe I started something that I meant as a joke and [Lovitz] just got really angry. He did take me by the lapels and throw me against the wall. And I was startled. Then I thought 'he's doing a funny'...But it wasn't one of his funny little characters."

As for the accusation that it was Dick who sent Brynn over the edge, Dick could only say, "Whether I gave Phil Hartman's [wife] cocaine...I don't know if I did or not." He then compared cocaine to "vitamin c" and asked host Tom Green if he would feel guilty if he unknowingly gave some to a person with a problem, who then died as a result.
