]]> The only actions that William Morris Endeavor (WME) talent agency has appeared to take against agent, Adam Venit, for reportedly sexually assaulting actor, Terry Crews, included a demotion from leading the motion pictures division and a 30-day suspension. Venit was reportedly back at work on Monday and Crews’ is pissed as hell about it. Upon hearing the news of his return, the Brooklyn Nine-Nine actor tweeted on Nov. 27 that “SOMEONE GOT A PASS.” WME execs are saying that they knew nothing about the assault allegations against Venit last year, but Crews just dispelled that myth.

Crews tweeted a screenshot of a text conversation with his agent Brad Slater recounting what happened on Feb. 4. Here’s how he captioned it:

“The actual text to my agent Brad Slater @WME 28 hours after my February 4th 2016 assault by the agency’s Adam Venit,” Crews wrote. “Yet WME’s Co-Chairman @AriEmanuel says he didn’t know anything about anyone until my tweets 18 MONTHS LATER. ‘Scratch a liar… find a THIEF.’ #NOONEGETSAPASS”

According to the screenshot, Crews texted Slater on Feb. 6 at 3:18 p.m. telling him what happened and who witnessed it.

“Brad– your boy Adam Venit– I was hanging with Sandler the other night and he was DOPED UP. It was embarrassing. Sandler had to call me to apologize. He actually grabbed my NUTS. I wish I was making this up. Becky was right there. Somebody needs an intervention–QUICK. He almost got knocked out. I kept my peace but I ran outta there. This wasn’t drunk bro. I know drunk. It was like bath salts or something,” Crews told Slater.

Slater replied, “Wait….. Whhhaaat??? Calling you. It will be me from a 424 number.”

On Nov. 27, Crews had already tweeted a copy of a Huffington Post letter that he had given to Ari Emanuel, reminding him that he had publicly called for the blacklisting of Mel Gibson after the veteran actor was caught making anti-Semitic remarks to a cop.

Crews asserted that Venit’s crime was just as serious, but he said that Emanuel replied, “it’s different” and handed the article back to Crews.

Even in the face of such damning evidence, the agency refuses to publicly acknowledge what happened to Crews. This speaks to one of the many reasons why women and men don’t report sexual harassment and assault.

]]> After serving a one-month suspension and being demoted from a position as the head of motion pictures for William Morris Endeavor (WME), agent Adam Venit is back at work. Terry Crews is none too happy about his return and the way that the agency has treated his sexual assault allegations against Venit. He took to Twitter on Monday afternoon to express his outrage.

“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…
