Terry Crews Captures The Exhaustion Of Being Victim Blamed In Viral Tweet

Terry Crews words may sound all too familiar to many sexual assault survivors.

In October, the “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” actor came forward with his own #MeToo experience in which he publicly accused Hollywood executive Adam Venit of groping him at a party in 2016. Since he came forward, Crews has been questioned for not fighting back during the alleged incident. This included taunts and mocking social media posts from rapper 50 Cent.

On Friday, Crews posted a powerful response to those who are still questioning his story.

“Why didn’t you say something? I did,” Crews wrote. “Why didn’t you push him off? I did. Why didn’t you cuss him out? I did. Why didn’t you tell the police? I did. Why didn’t you press charges? I did. Why did you just let it happen? I didn’t. Why didn’t you beat him up? (Sigh)”
