Crews first spoke of the incident weeks ago in the midst of Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assault allegations. When telling his story though, Crews never identified his abuser.

For Crews, the reports of Weinstein’s allegations were traumatic.

“Because this kind of thing happened to ME,” Crews tweeted, before describing how a “Hollywood executive” groped his “privates” at a party.

“Jumping back I said What are you doing?! My wife saw everything n we looked at him like he was crazy. He just grinned like a jerk,” Crews continued.

“He called me the next day with an apology but never really explained why he did what he did.”
