by Actor Seth Green recently shared a story about witnessing Marilyn Manson punch comedian Andy Dick. He recounted the incident during an appearance on the Club Random Podcast.
Green described the unexpected altercation that occurred as they were heading to a club. The incident began when Andy Dick made a dramatic entrance.
“We were like walking down the street to go into this club, and Andy is like putting on a show,” Green recalled. “And he just screams the second he sees me, ‘Seth, Rick James is dead!’ Andy comes and sits down and Manson just makes meaningful eye contact with me. And I just pull my hat down.”
Green then described what happened next. He noted Manson’s aggressive behavior.
“He just hits him right in the fucking throat and Andy just sort of takes that hit,” Green said. “Quick to punch people. If you’re like too close to him, he’s definitely going to push you.”
The incident took place in the early 2000s. It offers a glimpse into the chaotic celebrity culture of Hollywood nightclubs during that era. Green wasn’t the only witness to this bizarre confrontation.
Additional accounts revealed that actor Macaulay Culkin was also present during the altercation. This added further credibility to Green’s eyewitness testimony. The incident has been characterized as a partly comedic yet genuinely physical fight that unfolded in a Hollywood club setting.
The altercation appears to be an isolated encounter between Manson and Dick. There is no evidence of an ongoing relationship or further interactions between the two celebrities. Reports indicated that their connection seems limited to this notably tense and physical confrontation during that specific night out.
Marilyn Manson has maintained a reputation for controversial and aggressive behavior throughout his career. This is particularly true during public appearances and within music industry contexts. However, this incident with Andy Dick stands out as a rare publicized example of his physical aggression in a celebrity social setting. The story captures a chaotic moment emblematic of early 2000s Hollywood celebrity culture.
The revelation adds to the public’s understanding of Manson’s behavior during the height of his fame. During that time, nightclub encounters between celebrities often resulted in unpredictable and sometimes violent confrontations.
