Terry Crews, an actor and former NFL star, claims he was sexually assaulted by a “high-level Hollywood executive,” but he did not retaliate or speak out about the crime for fear of being ostracized or jailed.

Terry said in a series of tweets that he was groped by a Hollywood executive in front of his wife at an event last year, but he declined to name the executive.

“This whole thing with Harvey Weinstein is giving me PTSD. Why? Because this kind of thing happened to ME,” Crews began the first of 16 tweets.

Several women have accused Weinstein of sexual assault or harassment, including Asia Argento, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Angelina Jolie. Some of the charges are denied by Weinstein, who claims that all of his encounters were “consensual.”

“My wife n I were at a Hollywood function last year n a high level Hollywood executive came over 2 me and groped my privates,” Crews recounted in a series of tweets.

“Jumping back I said What are you doing?! My wife saw everything n we looked at him like he was crazy. He just grinned like a jerk.”

“I was going to kick his ass right then — but I thought twice about how the whole thing would appear. ‘ 240 lbs. Black Man stomps out Hollywood Honcho’ would be the headline the next day. Only I probably wouldn’t have been able to read it because I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN JAIL. So we left.

He went on to say that while he didn’t go public with the incident, he did speak out with people around him, and that the executive later phoned him to apologize and explain why he did what he did.

“That night and the next day I talked to everyone I knew that worked with him about what happened.

“He called me the next day with an apology but never really explained why he did what he did.

“I decided not 2 take it further becuz I didn’t want 2b ostracized— par 4 the course when the predator has power n influence. I let it go. And I understand why many women who this happens to let it go. Who’s going 2 believe you? ( few) What r the repercussions? (many) Do u want 2 work again? (Yes) R you prepared 2b ostracized? (No)

“I love what I do. But it’s a shame and the height of disappointment when someone tries to takes advantage of that. He knows who he is. But sumtimes Uhav2 wait & compare notes w/ others who’ve been victimized in order 2gain a position of strength.

“I understand and empathize with those who have remained silent. But Harvey Weinstein is not the only perpetrator. Hollywood is not the only business we’re this happens, and to the casualties of this behavior— you are not alone. Hopefully, me coming forward with my story will deter a predator and encourage someone who feels hopeless.”

It comes after Rob Schneider said that he, too, had been harassed.

He said in a video acquired by TMZ that a director, who has since died away, once stepped out of a hotel bathroom in a bathrobe and urged Rob to crawl on the ground towards him.
