Hollywood star Terry Crews unleashed a flurry of tweets on Tuesday detailing sexual harassment he received at the hands of a high-level Hollywood producer.
The star of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and movies like The Expendables told fans that revelations about movie mogul Harvey Weinstein in a recent expose by The New York Times are just the tip of the iceberg. He then disclosed an 2016 incident at a Hollywood function in which an industry power player grabbed his testicles.
This whole thing with Harvey Weinstein is giving me PTSD, the actor tweeted. Why? Because this kind of thing happened to ME. My wife [and] I were at a Hollywood function last year n a high level Hollywood executive came over [to] me and groped my privates. Jumping back I said What are you doing?! My wife saw everything [and] we looked at him like he was crazy. He just grinned like a jerk.
Mr. Crews wrote that he wanted to retaliate, but thought better of it due to his race and massive size.
240 lbs. Black Man stomps out Hollywood Honcho would be the headline the next day. Only I probably wouldnt have been able to read it because I would have been in jail. So we left. 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 [because] I didnt want [to be] ostracized par [for] the course when the predator has power [and] influence. I let it go.

Terry Crews is a giant. I can’t believe he didn’t squash the guy on the spot. Maybe he was shocked by the unmitigated gall of the move?
The people at the top of Hollywood and DC have become too powerful and complacent. We need an AG that will throw a enough of these people in prison that the rest get the message, or there will be a revolution (how about a 100 million people boycott the IRS?).
Conservatives should use this opportunity to put all of Hollywood on the defensive and destroy their credibility.
I understand his position. “I don’t care what happens to others: I have to protect my career.” However, saying now that he has PTSD is pretty ripe.
Now “Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo” Rob Schneider reveals he was sexually harassed in the past.
Because if they have real talent or even if just they really believed in themselves, they wouldnt put up with that kind of abuse.
The vast repository of interchangeable talent available is why Jon Hamm, whom nobody had ever heard of, and is apparently a real hit with the ladies, was almost 40 before his career took off. But I can think of any number of other (not well-known) actors who would have done just as well as Hamm in the Don Draper role. Bottom line is that actors who make it tend not to rock the boat because they are easily replaceable, and more importantly, easily blacklisted for life.
“parents are so eager to help them further their career’
The Lohans come to mind.
And he would have been a national hero!
You say that like it's a bad thing.
There is a FReeper here who works in the Hollywood Industry.
Really enjoyed his insights into other hwood matters and would love to hear his take on this one.
He’s the one who took note of liberal bumper stickers on employee cars and fired them.
“American” something is his name, I think.

Yeah I can imagine the actors have to deal with constant rejection.
Agreed. Hopefully more people will speak up.
” We got this guy Not Sure. “
S’wat I thought!
Most ollywood movies these days seem to have male behinds or genetailia in them. The directors are all queer and that should be obvious to anyone who’s seen shows and movies created after about 2013
I think you skirted right up to the edge of Godwin’s Law.
Classy!
