In October 2017, the "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" actor detailed his own experience with sexual assault and harassment in a series of tweets. Crews said his privates were groped at a function in 2016. He said he spoke to people who knew the executive, and he later apologized.
"But [he] never really explained why he did what he did," wrote Crews. "I decided not [to] take it further becuz [sic] I didn't want [to be] ostracized — par [for] the course when the predator has power [and] influence. I let it go. And I understand why many women who this happens to let it go."
In November, Crews filed a report to the Los Angeles Police Department against the executive. A few days later, during an appearance on ABC's "Good Morning America," Crews named WME agent Adam Venit as the man in the question.
Crews filed a suit against Venit and WME in December for nine claims, including assault and sexual harassment. Venit filed a countersuit denying the claims.
And WME filed their own response defending the agency's actions.
"The response of WME's senior leadership, upon learning that Mr. Crews had not 'let it go' and had accused one of its agents of the conduct alleged here, was both swift and serious," they said.
