Terry Crews names WME exec as man who allegedly sexually assaulted him
Terry Crews has publicly named the man who allegedly sexually assaulted him: William Morris Endeavor executive Adam Venit, who has been suspended from the talent firm.
The “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” actor, 49,
appeared on “Good Morning America” Wednesday to say he would “not be shamed” by the alleged encounter with Venit.
Crews says the incident took place at a party in February 2016, claiming Venit groped him after making gestures at the actor with his tongue.
“I’m looking like, ‘Is this a joke?’ … It was actually so bizarre,” Crews recalled. “He comes over to me. I stick my hand out and he literally takes his hand and puts it and squeezes my genitals. I jump back like, ‘Hey, hey.’”
Crews continued, “And he’s still licking his tongue out and all this stuff and I go, ‘Dude, what are you doing? What are you doing?’ and then he comes back again. He just won’t stop.”
He attended the event with his wife, Rebecca King-Crews.
Following the alleged encounter, Crews questioned everything.
“I have never felt more emasculated, more objectified. I was horrified,” Crews said. “It’s so bizarre. I wake up every morning wondering, ‘Did this really happen?’”
Venit
has been suspended from WME “following the internal investigation into the matter,” the Hollywood agency confirmed to ABC News. Venit did not respond to requests for comment from ABC News.
Page Six previously confirmed that Crews filed a report with the LAPD regarding the incident. The next day, Crews fired WME as his representation.
