Terry Crews abre queixa criminal contra executivo de Hollywood que o assediou
O ator Terry Crews (o pai de Chris na série “Todo Mundo Odeia o Chris”, atualmente em “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”) decidiu registrar uma queixa na polícia sobre o assédio sexual que sofreu no ano passado.
Ele comentou o caso no Twitter em 8 de outubro, logo após as primeiras denúncias contra Harvey Weinstein, para mostrar que não eram apenas as mulheres que sofriam assédio sexual em Hollywood. No texto, dividido em nada menos que 16 tuítes (veja abaixo), ele revelou que, durante uma festa, um “executivo do alto escalão de Hollywood” agarrou suas partes íntimas. O caso aconteceu na frente de sua mulher.
“Pulando para trás, eu disse, ‘O que você está fazendo?’ Ele apenas sorriu como um idiota”, escreveu Crews.
A suspeita é que o citado poderoso da indústria seja o empresário de atores Adam Venit, que foi demitido da agência WME após as alegações do ator.
A polícia de Los Angeles já começou a investigar a acusação.
