Andy Dick dragged off stage by Jimmy Kimmel for groping Ivanka Trump in recently revealed video

A television appearance featuring Andy Dick groping Ivanka Trump has resurfaced after the comedian was charged with sexual battery. 

As part of a skit, talk show host Jimmy Kimmel removed Dick from the set of show with the help of a security guard and several other people.  

Before his ejection, Dick repeatedly stroked the first daughter's legs and asked for a “big, wet kiss”.

The footage resurfaced after the controversial star was charged with two counts of battery. 

Police indicted the comedian and actor after a woman accused him of groping her on the street in April.   

The charges of sexual battery and battery for the incident were filed on Wednesday in Los Angeles, a city spokesman said. 

Dick’s history of arrest – he was detained in 2008 for allegedly groping the breast of a 17-year-old – have also been put on display.

The 52-year-old is best known for a long-running stint in the 1990s for NBC’s NewsRadio show, and for his brief time running his own show on MTV, The Andy Dick Show.

He has seen slumps in his career due to sexual harassment claims and has been fired from at least two films for inappropriate behaviour.

The most recent firing was from the low budget comedy Vampire Dad.
