“SOMEONE GOT A PASS,” Crews wrote in all caps referencing the announcement by The Hollywood Reporter.

Ever since Crews filed a formal police report with the LAPD and went public with an interview on Good Morning America (GMA), the Brooklyn Nine-Nine star has been attacked on social media and warned about outing Venit. Crews isn’t letting anybody get away with trying to belittle, nor intimidate him. He’s posting all the receipts on Twitter.

On Nov. 19, the day after his GMA sit-down with Michael Strahan, Crews got an email from Radar Online, threatening to run a false story about Crews hiring prostitutes. He knew that going head-to-head with one of the most powerful men in Hollywood would be the fight of his life, but Crews is not backing down.

“1 day after my @GMA interview, @radaronline threatened me w/a false story abt me hiring 2 hookers at the 2015 Monte Carlo TV Festival,” Crews wrote captioning the email from the media outlet. “It never went 2 press because it was a lie. This was not a coincidence. I told you they were coming 4 me, I also told you I am ready.”

The same day, Crews posted an email he received from Russell Simmons on Nov. 3, telling him to give Venit a pass and ask that he be reinstated. Crews responded to Simmons on Twitter: “Dear @uncleRUSH– NO ONE GETS A PASS.”

A particularly disturbing post, that Crews posted today, was a letter which included a marked up Huffington Post article written by Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel. In the article, Emanuel called for Hollywood to blackball Mel Gibson for making anti-Semitic remarks to a cop back in 2006. Crews replaced Gibson’s name with Venit’s and the words “racism and bigotry” with “sexual assault” and gave it to Emanuel. Crews said that Emanuel remarked, “it’s different” and handed the letter back to the actor. Does that mean different as in “not the same,” or different as in “not as important”?

The bottom line is that Crews has declared war against the pervasive and persistent predatory culture in Hollywood and the cards are stacked against him. But just as Emanuel wrote in that Huffington Post article, “there are times in history when standing up against bigotry and racism is more important than money.” For Crews, the crime is sexual assault. And if he wins the fight, WME stands to lose more than money…

Copy of the actual @HuffPost letter I gave @AriEmanuel in which he DEMANDED Mel Gibson be blacklisted for anti-Semitic remarks.

I exchanged Adam Venit for Mel, and sexual assault for anti-Semitic.

Upon his exit, the former NFL player and fitness buff confirmed the filing and told the reporter why he did it.

“Because, you know, people have to be held accountable,” Crews said.

When asked if he also planned to file a civil suit against his attacker, Crews made it clear that he would. He said that his attorneys will help him decide how much money he should demand in the lawsuit.

“Yep. We’re going all the way,” Crews said.

Who Attacked Crews?

The reporter then tried to get Crews to do something that, thus far, no one has been able to do–get Crews to name his attacker. But the actor hopped into his SUV without offering an answer. Reports revealed last week said that the culprit was Adam Venit. He heads up the motion picture group at William Morris Endeavor (WME). Crews is represented by the agency. According to TMZ sources, the actor named Venit in his formal complaint.

Deadline reported that Venit has been on administrative leave ever since news of the allegations broke. He is still employed by the agency. Venit’s client list includes big-name talents including Adam Sandler, Sylvester Stallone, Emma Stone, Brett Radner, and Dustin Hoffman. Ironically, Radner and Hoffman are now faces sexual harassment accusations of their own.

What Made Crews Come Forward?

This entire series of revelations started when Crews tweeted his #MeToo story referencing the assault that he said took place at an industry function last year. The “high level Hollywood executive came over 2 me and groped my privates,” Crews wrote. He said that his wife witnessed the assault.

Crews resisted the urge to beat the man up because he immediately realized that a big, strong, 240-pound Black man who stomped out a “Hollywood Honcho” probably wouldn’t fare well legally or professionally. Crews did talk to everybody he knew that worked with his attacker about what happened the next day. But he didn’t know what else to do until now.

Taking Action

Crews said that coupled with the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault scandal, his experience gave him PTSD. He had to speak out. Many have commended him for his brave stance which could have serious implications for his career. On the other hand, there are those who still believe that men don’t get harassed. Crews should just keep quiet, keep working, and take the money and run.

Terry Crews is doing his part to make sure that powerful people in Hollywood don’t take advantage of people who just want to use their gifts and talents to earn a living. He is in this thing for the long haul. Bravo.
