Terry Crews Details Alleged Sexual Assault by WME&#;s Adam Venit
Terry Crews spoke out about being allegedly sexually assaulted by WME&#;s Adam Venit, in an interview that aired on Good Morning America on Wednesday.
“Back in February , 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 revealed to GMA.
Despite the fact that the agent represents Adam Sandler, Eddie Murphy and Sylvester Stallone, Crews said he was unaware of who Venit was. While at a party with his wife last year, Crews recalled the “bizarre” moment he had with Venit, who he said directed tongue movements at him.
&#;I’m looking like, &#;Is this a joke?&#;&#; It was actually so bizarre,&#; the actor explained. &#;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.’&#;
After Crews saw Venit continue with the tongue gestures, the actor asked what the agent was doing, only for him to pester on and giggle. Crews then explained that he pushed Venit away, causing the ag

"Back in February , 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."

Terry Crews Sues WME Agent Adam Venit for Sexual Assault
Terry Crews has filed a sexual assault lawsuit against WME agent Adam Venit in regards to Crews&#; claim that Venit groped him at a Hollywood party in February
News of the lawsuit comes a little more than a week after Venit returned to work at WME following a brief suspension as the agency conducted an internal investigation of Crews&#; allegations. Crews was previously represented by WME, which is also a defendant in the suit, but fired the agency last month after going public with his claims.
The lawsuit, first reported by TMZ and obtained by Variety, repeats Crews&#; claim that Venit groped his genitals, &#;squeezing so hard that he leapt back in pain,&#; and also says Venit stuck &#;his tongue in and out of his mouth provocatively.&#; The lawsuit alleges that Crews alerted Adam Sandler, who was at the party and is represented by Venit, by yelling, &#;Adam, come get your boy! He&#;s grabbing my nuts.&#;
The suit also says that Sandler called Crews while he was on his way home from the party to check up on him. It adds that Crews told his agent at WME of the alleged incident, and met with WME chairma

The &#;Brooklyn Nine-Nine&#; star told Michael Strahan Wednesday on &#;Good Morning America&#; that he had never &#;felt more emasculated, more objectified&#; than after allegedly being groped at a party in by Adam Venit, the longtime head of WME&#;s motion picture group.
&#;He&#;s connected to probably everyone I know in the business,&#; Crews said about the agent, who represents Emma Stone, Adam Sandler, Diane Keaton, Eddie Murphy, and others. &#;I did not know this man. I have never had a conversation with him, ever. &#; The first time I ever had an interaction with him was at this event.&#;
Crews said Venit, who he had never met before, stared at him from a distance and stuck out his tongue in an &#;overtly sexual&#; manner before approaching him.
&#;I stick my hand out and he literally takes his hand and puts it, squeezes my genitals,&#; he recalled. &#;And I jump back like, &#;Hey, hey!&#; … I go, &#;Dude, what are you doing?'&#;
The former NFL player says Venit repeated the behavior.
