Terry Crews Suffered Retaliation For Accusing Hollywood Agent Of Sexual Assault
The actor testified, Tuesday, to the Senate Judiciary Committee on the Sexual Assault Survivors' Bill of Rights.
He claims he was dropped from “Expendables 4” after accusing Adam Venit of sexual assault.
At the time Venit was head of the motion picture department at the talent agency William Morris Endeavor.
The assault lasted only minutes, but what he was effectively telling me while he held my genitals in his hand was that he held the power. That he was in control.
Crews told the committee that "Expendables 4" producer Avi Lerner made sure he would not be in the movie.
He pointed out the Lerner was also dealing with a sexual assault allegation.
Crews’ alleged sexual assault by Venit grabbed headlines all over the world at the height of the #MeToo movement. I chose to tell my story and share my experience to stand in solidarity with millions of other survivors around the world ... I know the shame associated with the assault.
