AceShowbiz - The powerful man who sexually assaulted "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" star Terry Crews has been exposed. The NFL player-turned-actor didn't name the man when he first revealed on Twitter that he was groped by a "high level Hollywood executive" at a party.
Now Variety reports that the creep was Adam Venit, the married executive at Hollywood's top talent agency WME. The agent has since been suspended. His clients include Dustin Hoffman, Casey Affleck and Brett Ratner who have all been accused of sexual harassment as well.
Back in October, Terry Crews wrote on Twitter that he was triggered by Harvey Weinstein scandal. He explained, "Because this kind of thing happened to ME. 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."
"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. I was going to kick his ass right then - but I thought twice about how the whole thing would appear. '240 lbs. Black Man stomps out Hollywood Honcho' would be the headline the next day. Only I probably wouldn't have been able to read it because I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN JAIL. So we left."
He went on, "That night and the next day I talked to everyone I knew that worked with him about what happened. He called me the next day with an apology but never really explained why he did what he did. 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."
"I let it go. And I understand why many women who this happens to let it go. 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) I love what I do. But it's a shame and the height of disappointment when someone tries to takes advantage of that."
