Around 2am or 3am, she drove to her friend Ron Douglas's house. She confessed her drug use and Phil's murder to him, but he did not believe her. At 6:20am, the two of them drove back to the Hartman home where Douglas discovered Phil's body. Lovitz

Douglas subsequently called the police who arrived on the scene to escort the two children out of the house. Brynn killed herself in a back bedroom with a second revolver, shooting herself in the right eye.The club's owner, Jamie Masada, witnessed the fight and said: "Jon picked Andy up by the head and smashed him into the bar four or five times, and blood started pouring out of his nose."Lovitz claimed, "All the comedians are glad I did it because this guy is an ***hole."Lovitz and Dick have been warring since a Christmas party in 1997 held at Phil Hartman's house where according to Lucey, Andy Dick was reportedly doing cocaine at the party and offered some to Hartman's wife, Brynn, who had been sober for 10 years. Five months later the murder-suicide occured, and Lovitz blames it all on Dick giving Brynn the cocaine, and once told Andy when filling in on Hartman's TV show Newsradio, "I wouldn't be here now if you hadn't given Brynn that cocaine."Andy Dick allegedly walked up to Lovitz's table at a Hollywood restaurant, saying to Lovitz "I put the "Phil Hartman hex" on you - you're the next one to die." Clearly that didn't settle well with Lovitz who said "I wanted to punch his face in, but I don't hit women."The story unfolds that Andy Dick was at the Laugh Factory last week when Lovitz confronted him about the "Hex" incident. The Cleveland Leader.com reports that Dick allegedly goaded Lovitz some more, saying "You know why I said it? Because you said I killed Phil Hartman." Lovitz claims not to have said that, and said that Andy then asked him to be in his new movie which then ignited Lovitz who allegedly screamed "I don't want to be in your movie! I don't want to be in your life!", and smacked his head repeatedly into the bar.

LOL. This is hysterical. I mean, I could understand getting your ass kicked by you know, Swartzenagger, or Robert Redford or something, but to get your ass kicked by Jon Lovits. The guy is a teddy bear. You get your ass kicked by Jon Lovits you no doubt had it coming. Good for him. Andy Dick is a Dick. Way to go Jon.

Dude, Lovitz totally said that Dick killed Phil. While he didn't say it verbatim, he did say, regarding Newsradio 'If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have to be here' or whatever.

Brynn decided to do cocaine. She's a grown woman and can make decisions on her own. I'm sure Dick didn't force her. Besides, he probably didn't know about her 10 years of sobriety either.

Andy Dick had every right to be pissed off and say those things. Besides he used words, not violence. If Lovitz was half the comedian that he thinks he is, he would've shot back some quips.

Although Phil Hartman was great, John Lovitz is the asshole. Andy Dick is funnier anyway.

I am a fan of all three of these guys. I am sure Jon doesnt feel good about what he did. I am happy people are standing behind him so he doesnt feel worse. I loved Phil, Love Jon and I actually alwayes liked Andy Dick too. Andy was of course wrong to offer her cocaine, especially if he knew about her being clean, but certainly he cound never have anticipated all this. However what Andy did at the 'hex statement' is kind of asking for something. Sorry Andy. Still love ya too. Thanks for not pressing charges. Shows he cant be all bad. Love the show. Kick the drugs.. you will be happier with everything that you have. Probably keep it all too.

Good going Jon. Andy deserved it, you don't offer a former addict cocaine, especially if you care about them. Apparently Dick did not care about Phil or his wife. His last name fits him to a T, he is a DICK!!!!!!!!!

Good Going Jon Lovitz! Do it again! Get it on video! Ms Dick is not only NOT funny but very annoying. Being rude and over the top insulting is not funny. Ms Dick deserved this. I am sort of proud of Jon Lovitz and will give him more credit next time I see him on.
