In a series of tweets, Terry Crews has alleged that American talent agency WME has “tracked and possibly bugged” his family.
Crews is suing his former agency and its former head of its Motion Picture Group Adam Venit for sexual assault and alleges that the company asked Russell Simmons (also facing a string of sexual assault allegations) to push Crews to drop his accusation against Venit, whom he says groped him at an industry party last year.
He claims that someone hacked into his family computer and has been informed by LAPD detectives that “these people don’t play fair. There are a lot of secrets to protect, and they will do anything to keep them.”
He continued: “The town is compromised. But me, and my team, are not.”
You can see the tweets, which were posted over the weekend, below:
My assailant Adam Venit is the founding partner at @WME, a corporation worth over $8 billion.
I believe my family is being tracked and possibly bugged.

I also believe @unclerush was asked to pressure me into dropping my case by @WME execs. Somehow they thought he was the “King of Black people”.
Someone hacked into the computer my son and I built together. I have to shut it down and replace the hard drive.

LAPD task force detectives let me know these people don’t play fair. There are a lot of secrets to protect, and they will do anything to keep them.
The town is compromised. But me, and my team, are not.
If I were to have a timely “accident” — you know where to look.

@WME general counsel Seth Krauss surreptitiously brought up my wife’s name to my former attorney re: my case.@TMZ met me and my wife at the as we left the airport, then mysteriously edited out my comments about how they collude with the studios and agencies.

Retaliation in some form is expected- I would be naive to think otherwise...
But vulnerability and openness is actually my best protection.
I’m ready.
