Terry Crews publicly named for the first time the high-powered talent agent he claims groped him at an industry party and said he would "not be shamed" about the alleged assault.

"Back in February 2016, I was assaulted by Adam Venit, who is head of the Motion Picture Department at William Morris Endeavor, one of the biggest agencies in the world, period," Crews, 49, said today on "Good Morning America." "Hes connected to probably everyone I know in the business ... I did not know this man. I have never had a conversation with him, ever."
Venit has represented stars including Adam Sandler, Eddie Murphy, Sylvester Stallone, Diane Keaton, Liam Hemsworth and Steve Martin.

Crews was with his wife, Rebecca King-Crews, at the party last year when he claims Venit began making tongue moves at him.

"Im looking like, 'Is this a joke?' ... It was actually so bizarre," Crews said. "He comes over to me. I stick my hand out and he literally takes his hand and puts it and squeezes my genitals. I jump back like, Hey, hey."

Crews continued, "And hes still licking his tongue out and all this stuff and I go, Dude, what are you doing? What are you doing? and then he comes back again. He just wont stop."

Crews claims he then pushed Venit away from him, causing Venit to bump into other partygoers.

"I have never felt more emasculated, more objectified. I was horrified," Crews said. "Its so bizarre. I wake up every morning wondering, Did this really happen?'"
Crews filed a police report Nov. 8 claiming to be a victim of a crime.

"People need to be held accountable," Crews said. "This is the deal about Hollywood. It is an abuse of power. This guy, again, he's one of the most powerful man in Hollywood and he looked at me at the end as if, Who is going to believe you?"

An LAPD spokesperson confirmed at the time that Crews met with officers, but would not elaborate on the nature of the meeting.

The "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" star fired William Morris as his agency one day after he filed the police report.

"I put it in the back of my head and I understood why women everywhere had to let it go," Crews said. "When the Weinstein thing started happening, I got PTSD. I was going, Oh my God. This exact thing happened to me. I understand why they wont come forward."

do people think that fame gives them the right to do this crap? How hard is it back off when the other person doesn't want it. There is a scary lack of respect for fellow human beings.

When you're at the top of the ladder some people feel like they're untouchable. They can pretty much have their ass kissed all day by people under them and that sense of power rushes to their head.
