Terry Crews. 
 
 After hearing multiple women in Hollywood share stories of sexual abuse by Harvey Weinstein, actor Terry Crews was moved to go public with his own tale of sexual assault from a powerful Hollywood figure. In a series of tweets Tuesday afternoon, Crews revealed that he was groped by an unnamed male executive at an industry party last year. Crews says he almost lashed out at the man, but stopped himself once he realized how it would be portrayed: “240 lbs. Black Man stomps out Hollywood Honcho.” After telling the man’s co-workers about what happened, he received an apology the next day; he let it go after that, out of fear of being ostracized in the industry. Now, Crews says he can empathize with what Weinstein’s alleged victims, as well as many others, went through: “Hollywood is not the only business where this happens, and to the casualties of this behavior — you are not alone.” You can read the full string of tweets below.

Though he doesn’t name the perpetrator, Crews wrote that the exec was a male who “just grinned like a jerk” after the incident, which his wife also witnessed. 
 
 Crews said his decision to share his account was prompted by the recent release of the New York Times and the New Yorker articles detailing sexual assault and rape allegations against now-former The Weinstein Company boss Harvey Weinstein.

– Terry Crews says the flood of stories coming out about Harvey Weinstein's behavior has inspired him to share a sexual harassment story of his own in the hope of deterring predators and helping those who feel hopeless. In a series of tweets Tuesday, the NFL star-turned-actor described how a "high level Hollywood executive" groped his "privates" at a function last year, Vulture reports. "My wife saw everything n we looked at him like he was crazy," Crews wrote. "He just grinned like a jerk." Crews says he was ready to fight, then realized that he would probably end up in jail—and that the next day's headlines would read: "240 lbs. Black Man stomps out Hollywood Honcho." "This whole thing with Harvey Weinstein is giving me PTSD. Why? Because this kind of thing happened to ME," Crews tweeted, adding that he can empathize with women victimized by Weinstein who remained silent. Crews said the man apologized the next day and he decided not to take it any further because he didn't want to be ostracized in the entertainment industry, Deadline reports. But that could change: "He knows who he is," Crews wrote. "But sumtimes Uhav2 wait & compare notes w/ others who’ve been victimized in order 2gain a position of strength."
