Terry Crews says he was sexually assaulted by Hollywood executive
Harvey Weinstein
Since The New York Times published a bombshell report filled with sexual-harassment accusations against Harvey Weinstein  more women in Hollywood have gone public with descriptions of inappropriate behavior by the powerful film producer — including Gwyneth Paltrow  Angelina Jolie  Mira Sorvino  Asia Argento  and Rosanna Arquette.
On Tuesday afternoon  the actor Terry Crews ("Brooklyn Nine-Nine") said on Twitter that a film executive sexually assaulted him at an industry event last year. He started the thread by tweeting that the accusations against  Weinstein  were "giving me PTSD."
"This whole thing with  Harvey Weinstein  is giving me PTSD. Why? 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."
Crews said  he  talked to everyone  he  knew who worked with the executive about what happened to  him   adding that the executive called  him  the next day to apologize but "never really explained why  he  did what  he  did."
Crews said  he  opted not to take it further because  he  didn't want to be "ostracized — par 4 the course when the predator has power n influence."
"Who's going 2 believe you?"  he  added.
