Terry Crews Reported His Sexual Assault to the LAPD
As more and more everyday folks and celebrities alike share their #MeToo stories, one of the most powerful revelations came from an unexpected source: Terry Crews.
Terry Crews’ story of sexual assault was eye-opening to many. If a tall, muscular, male celebrity and athlete could be groped and still fear to fight back or speak out, how do people imagine that women feel in that situation?
Well there’s good news when it comes to Terry Crews — the police are investigating.
Do you guys watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine?
Terry Crews has been in other things, from Old Spice ads to playing the pro wrestler in Idiocracy, but Brooklyn Nine-Nine is one of the best comedies on television.
On it, Terry plays a character who, despite his size and strength, is a nurturing family man with a strong sensitive side and who is wholly unafraid to stray from hypermasculine gender norms.
In other words, Terry Crews plays a character very similar to himself.
Terry Crews was a football player, but before that, he was an art student and is a genuinely good artist. He’s also been quick to eschew toxic masculinity and to support women.
We mention this because Terry Crews is a genuinely good person, and it’s important to know that — even though no one, even bad people, deserve to be sexually assaulted.
After the Harvey Weinstein rape accusations came to light and countless women began sharing their #MeToo stories, Terry Crews tweeted and shared his own story of being groped by a man in the entertainment industry at a party.
This happened in public (it was at a party) and in front of his wife.
As a general rule, you want to be really sure that you have permission before you touch someone else’s genitals.
You might be thinking “oh, it’s a nice surprise,” but you’re basically gambling on the hope that they’ll be pleased.
Just because a lot of folks like having their junk touched doesn’t mean that it’s welcome as a surprise or that you, specifically, have permission to do it.
And that goes for butts and boobs and really any part of their bodies.
The man whom Terry Crews accuses of groping him is Adam Venit, an agent for William Morris Endeavor, who headed the talent agency’s motion picture department.
We say that he headed that department, past tense, because Venit has been placed on leave.
Well, there’s good news, folks.
Terry Crews has filed an official report with the LAPD about his sexual assault.
Describing it all to police can be more difficult, in some ways, than sharing your story with the world.
But it’s an important step.
As satisfying as it might be to see, say, Kevin Spacey scrubbed from a film or to see various famous dirtbags lose their jobs — Harvey Weinstein’s wife left him — only by going to the police can we hope to send these alleged rapists to prison.
Terry Crews isn’t the only one whose brave accusation could lead to real, legal consequences for the accused.
The LAPD is investigating Harvey Weinstein for rape, which could lead to something a lot realer than a stint in rehab, which essentially amounts to a one-week vacation with some therapy.
Gossip Girl actor Ed Westwick is under investigation for rape after an actress came forward, and now another actress is sharing a chillingly similar accusation about him.
Fear of consequences — of being victim-blamed, of being ridiculed, of not being believed, and of being deliberately blacklisted by powerful predators — has maintained a culture of silence around Hollywood and elsewhere for far too long.
The more that brave people share their #MeToo stories, the sooner that we can shine a light upon the evil in our midst. The sooner that we can make ourselves better as a society and as a cutlure.

Terry Crews: I Was Sexually Molested, Too
Over the past several days, Hollywood has been rocked by an ever-growing scandal centered around Harvey Weinstein.
The long-time movie producer was revealed by The New York Times last week to be a serial sexual harasser, as the newspaper revealed eight past instances in which Weinstein paid off alleged victims in exchange for the silence.
Since then, Weinstein has basically admitted to many of the charges… issued a bizarre apology… been fired by the company he helped build…
… and been accused of rape by seven different women.
It’s an ugly, ugly, UGLY situation.
However, if any silver lining can come out of this controversy, it’s the exposure of sexual misconduct in the entertainment industry and how so many women have disgusting stories to tell.
Numerous actresses have been coming forward of late with statements about their own sordid past with Weinstein and/or with some other high-powered male who put them in an awkward (at best) circumstance.
Enough of this behavior is enough – and perhaps this bombshell of a report will help curb such gross behavior.
But Terry Crews wants the public to know that women aren’t the only victims.
He was once groped by a Hollywood executive.
“This whole thing with Harvey Weinstein is giving me PTSD. Why? Because this kind of thing happened to ME,” the Brooklyn 99 star wrote as the first of many Tweets outlining what happened to him.
We’ll just let the actor take it from here.
We’ll let Crews tell his own awful story…
My wife n I were at a Hollywood function last year n a high level Hollywood executive came over 2 me and groped my privates. (2/cont.)
Jumping back I said What are you doing?! My wife saw everything n we looked at him like he was crazy. He just grinned like a jerk. (3/cont.)
I was going to kick his ass right then— but I thought twice about how the whole thing would appear. (4/cont.)
“240 lbs. Black Man stomps out Hollywood Honcho” would be the headline the next day. (5/cont.)
Only I probably wouldn’t have been able to read it because I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN JAIL. So we left. (6/cont.)
That night and the next day I love what I do. But it’s a shame and the height of disappointment when someone tries to takes advantage of that. (12/cont.)I talked to everyone I knew that worked with him about what happened. (7/cont.)
He called me the next day with an apology but never really explained why he did what he did. (8/cont.)
I decided not 2 take it further becuz I didn’t want 2b ostracized— par 4 the course when the predator has power n influence. (9/cont.)
I let it go. And I understand why many women who this happens to let it go. (10/cont.)
Who’s going 2 believe you? ( few) What r the repercussions?(many) Do u want 2 work again? (Yes) R you prepared 2b ostracized?(No)(11/cont.)
I love what I do. But it’s a shame and the height of disappointment when someone tries to takes advantage of that. (12/cont.)
He knows who he is. But sumtimes Uhav2 wait & compare notes w/ others who’ve been victimized in order 2gain a position of strength. (13cont)
I understand and empathize with those who have remained silent. But Harvey Weinstein is not the only perpetrator. (14/cont.)
Hollywood is not the only business we’re this happens, and to the casualties of this behavior— you are not alone. (15/cont.)
Hopefully, me coming forward with my story will deter a predator and encourage someone who feels hopeless. (16/end)
Wow.
We admire Terry Crews for coming out with this story. Bravo, sir.
