Terry Crews spoke about his own #MeToo experience back in October when he ALLEGED WME agent Adam Venit grabbed his crotch at a party in 2016. While a lot of folks gave Terry props for speaking up, others were not happy he was talking and now, erry says, he’s paying for speaking up.
Crews is currently suing Adam Venit and WME for assault, battery, sexual battery, sexual harassment, gender violence, intentional infliction of emotional distress, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and negligent retention and supervision, and this week he testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on behalf of the proposed Sexual Assault Survivors’ Bill of Rights.
Crews also said he has faced retaliation for speaking out from Avi Lerner, producer of The Expendables franchise who ALLEGEDLY called Terry’s agent and warned of “trouble” unless he withdrew his civil suit against Adam Venit.
Sidenote: Avi Lerner himself has also recently been accused of sexual misconduct.
Well, Terry Crews refused to drop the suit, and now his role in The Expendables 4 has been cut even though he was in the first three films. Crews says:
“This same producer is under his own…investigation. Abusers protect abusers – and this is one thing I had to decide, whether I was going to draw the line on. Am I going to be a part of this or am I gonna take a stand, and there are projects I had to turn down.”
Originally, Crews never wanted to talk about or report what ALLEGEDLY happened to him because he thought he’d be “laughed out of” the police station or be blacklisted from Hollywood or that his career might suffer, but he chose to speak up upon being inspired and empowered by everyone else coming forward with their stories.
It’s also worth noting that Sylvester Stallone, star of The Expendables, is also currently being investigated for sexual assault and let’s not even discuss that other actor in the film, Mel Gibson.
Might be best for Crews to distance himself from predators and the films they make.

ReplyDeleteKim? No more selfie? I'm surprised she had the energy for selfie's after the money shots?
Did Locklear run into ugly stick?
Mel B is turning into a bitter spice.
Maybe Azealia Banks can open a spank bank?
Scarlett Johansson would kick Tommy ass from one side of the street to the other. But he might like that. Perhaps, since he hasn't found a woman he should try dick? But what right respecting queen would take that short shit was a trophy piece. And who has the extra money for shoe lifts darling.
The Seth Rogan thing is getting thrown into the same category as the Red hen/Huckabee story, and I don't think it's the same at all. If nothing else, a picture with Paul Ryan would be bad to have out there. Famous people do that, right?
ReplyDeleteChris Christie wishes he never would have allowed that photo op with the the last President we had. You know the one. The one who was a B- or a C+ instead of an F.
