"I believe my family is being tracked and possibly bugged," Crews wrote in a Twitter thread. "Someone hacked into the computer my son and I built together. I have to shut it down and replace the hard drive."
\u201cMy assailant Adam Venit is the founding partner at @WME, a corporation worth over $8 billion.\n\nI believe my family is being tracked and possibly bugged.\n\n(Cont\u2019d)\u201d— Terry Crews (@Terry Crews) 1513388339
Crews also claimed that Russell Simmons, who is currently facing numerous allegations of sexual assault, tried to pressure him to drop the lawsuit. The actor also said that he spoke with the Los Angeles Police Department and they confirmed to him that "these people don't play fair."
"There are a lot of secrets to protect, and they will do anything to keep them," Crews said.
\u201cLAPD task force detectives let me know these people don\u2019t play fair. There are a lot of secrets to protect, and they will do anything to keep them.\n\nThe town is compromised. But me, and my team, are not.\n\nIf I were to have a timely \u201caccident\u201d \u2014 you know where to look.\n\n(Cont\u2019d/4) https://t.co/Hz1btFZC8r\u201d— Terry Crews (@Terry Crews) 1513388487
Two weeks ago Crews filed a lawsuit against Venit, as well as WME. In the lawsuit Crews accuses Venit of staring at him "like a rabid dog, sticking his tongue in and out of his mouth provocatively." After the alleged assault Crews then pushed Venit away, and turned to Adam Sandler yelling, "Adam, come get your boy! He's grabbing my nuts."
On his way home from the event Sandler asked Crews if he was OK and was reportedly shocked at Venit’s behavior. The following day Crews called his agent at WME and told him of the alleged assault, with Venit calling him and apologizing a few hours later, claiming he was just not himself that night. Along with the lawsuit Crews also filed a sexual assault police report against Venit.
Venit has since returned to work with WME after being disciplined for the incident with Crews in October. However, Venit has been demoted from his position as head of the motion picture department. Following Venit's return Crews tweeted "Someone got a pass."
