Terry Crews clapped back at comedian D.L. Hughley Sunday during an exchange on Twitter about sexual assault. In an interview he gave back in August 2018, D.L. Hughley offered views on Terry Crews' alleged sexual assault by former WME agent Adam Venit. Hughley implied Crews could have stopped the alleged assault by using his 'muscles'.
“You told the world ‘God Gave Me Muscles So I Could Say No,’” Crews wrote. “Are you implying I ‘wanted’ to be sexually assaulted? I’m listening, sir.”
Hughley responded by saying, “You saw the video!” to which Crews quickly shot back, “Sir you said I should have pushed him back, or restrained him and I DID ALL THOSE THINGS… but you act like I didn’t. Were you there?”
Hughley then said Crews should have gotten physical with alleged assailant, writing, “That’s different than slapping the s—t outa him.”
Terry wrote on Twitter, "I have looked up to you my whole career as one of the funniest most talented people I’ve ever seen. I remember when I saw you warming up the crowd at FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR and I thought 'this man is a genius.'"He continued, "But now you are an example of when comedy turns to sarcasm and cynicism. And you find it extremely easy to get jokes at someone else (sic) expense. You mock my success, but all I ever did was support you."He then added, "You @50cent @unclerush and @tariqnasheed have decided my sexual assault was hilarious, whereas there are a whole generation of black women and men who don’t think it’s funny. ABUSERS PROTECT ABUSERS but they MOCK SURVIVORS as well. When you see me, keep it moving."
