Terry has one hell of a story. My heart breaks for his struggles and the humiliation he endured from his own community. Wishing he and his family happiness, success, and peace!
Back when i browsed reddit I remember Terry posted there about his son wanting to have his own custom gaming computer and instead of just buying one (he was successful at this point) he wanted to build one with his son for fun and the pc building community over there shared what be needed to buy and he did and built it with his son but it wouldn't turn on.. After trouble shooting he resigned to bring it to the local Best Buy geek squad. They took the PC and found that they simply needed to flip the voltage switch on the power supply and then it worked beautifully. And it was a kind of funny moment that we could share as first time builders because it was such a incredibly minor detail that any person could have overlooked whether they were experienced or not. Anyway, obviously a genuinely good dude and good father!
Correct, It's so assine to think that way. Sexual and mental abuse go so deep that it hurts your soul! I never went through that Thank God but personally met a couple of people growing up that did go through that horror. The things that they went through as young kids was despicable and just made you go through the whole range of emotions it takes years of therapy and real work to come out the other side intact. Sadly some people do not make it out!!
The fact that Crews used his platform to advocate for survivors, knowing the ridicule that would follow, shows a level of courage that’s rare. He wasn’t just breaking his own silence-he was fighting to reshape how we see male survivors of abuse, especially in industries where power is so often unchecked. His story continues to serve as a powerful reminder that we have to do better in supporting victims, regardless of gender, and in questioning the systems that protect abusers. Crews isn’t just a symbol of resilience-he’s a call to action.
@@rarebreed4512 , and @AG-iu9lv, a b u s e is a b u s e, no matter WHO is doing the a b u s i n g of someone in their lives. Also, being misandristic is ironically just as bad as being misogynistic.
All those predator men coming out to say Terry Crews was "too macho" to believe he was assaulted, can go back to the pits of hell where they came from. What disgusting excuses for "men."
So do cowards, toadies and people who are just afraid. Some things are not simple and can't be boiled down to a sound bite, or a meme, no matter how pithy they might sound.
@@NelsonStJamesfair but the point still stands. OC isn’t necessarily saying that everyone who protects abusers are abusers just that abusers protect other abusers, which is correct.
@bigcovideoz2063 you are allowed to defend yourself...are you ok? Like that's so victim blamey because you littraly are saying any form of violence wether it's offensive or defensive is bad. If a woman gets assulted and scratches the guy's eyes out to get away would you say she is violent, aggressive if you would your the problem. Seek therapy.
Ngl, I just wanna give Terry Crews a hug. Hes given us so much joy from his work and has been a star example of a good father despite how much pain he carries in his heart.
@@TheDon_Vito if his wife could find it in her heart to forgive, we should as well. Everyone is susceptible to demons. Everyone is susceptible to making mistakes. Everyone is susceptible to acting selfishly. It's human nature. We aren't perfect, and should never forget that.
The calling out Diddy is just for show, now that the Diddler got caught old Curtis is quiet because Diddle might release every receipt that includes him. 😂
@@ERRATAS070750 hasn’t ever been into partying. You don’t know what you’re talking about. There are no receipts because he’s avoided Diddy’s proximity for over 20 years.
@@captainjeanlucpicard3700 I’ve read all of his books and have seen most if not all of his interviews. Even when he was pushing his Vodka at events he’d really just be drinking water. Yayo has said 50 doesn’t party either. It’s all publicly available information. When he was on tour in the GRODT era everybody would go party and he’d go back to his hotel to rest up and work out because he was aware that his presentation is his brand and he had to maintain that to perform at the level the crowd was expecting.
In my teens I was harassed a bit online. I still remember how gross I felt afterwards and It was through a videogame. I cannot imagine what it takes to come forward after being groped by someone so powerful
This just makes me love Terry Crews more. His openness and calm demeanor are so warm and comforting. And he’s a wonderful dad? A guy who I really hope his son admires.
Let’s just assume we don’t know celebrities… it’s like y’all want to believe so hard that some of them are great but come on y’all, they all knew this yet kept feeding into the machine and promoting this lifestyle to others and getting them in this environment too.
The choice of words did surprise me. Terry Trews is a very big, muscular, fierce looking man. To be "molested" makes it sound like he was still a small child when it happened.
I love how he didn't know much about video games, but his son was super into them, so Terry decided they'd get all the pieces and tools as a project to build his son his own gaming setup, and he learned about video games, and how they're made, and how they're played, and he's able to share that interest with his son now. It's something my own dad was thiiiiisss clossssse 🤏 to doing with my sister, and he ultimately let the opportunity pass him by
@@ehkbv People make mistakes, Men & Women. And look at him now, still married, involved with the community, and has been a great father to his kids. You can't take that from someone, especially when they admit they're wrong and do something about it.
yeah.. I've never really understood the appeal. he's not really particularly memorable or overtly talented in any way. Just kind of fell into the right spot early on and made the most of it. Can't really hate on him for that. But yeah. He's got one of those weird Mr. Beast smiles where his eyes don't even change remotely.. Fake human being.
They're focusing on his reaction to the assault rather than the actual assault itself. Being muscular doesn't give you abilities to ward off perverts. Even if he did fight back, the fact that he got groped still remains.
All those men are dumb. 50 included, I'm so disappointed. How could they not understand, that if Terry fought back he would be the villain? Why should he risk reputation while he is being assaulted? They really think that it doesn't matter if assault happens as long as you can fight. Fucking idiots omg I can't my blood is boiling rn they're below collage level intelligence, yet are multi-millionaires
It's sad to see how many people ridiculed him for having the courage to tell his story. This is why most people keep silent about being victims of abuse.
Pretty ironic too as I can imagine a few of those who did probably had to do some heinous stuff to get where they are also. The film/music industries are rife with predators now and I believe among those that mocked Crews were simply trying to use it as a way to downplay their experiences.
@@ScuffedF I'm just wondering if the same people who lambasted Puffy for sexuality assaulting the men around him also mocked Terry for telling the world what happened to him.
Crab mentality. Sad truth among many races, but very prevalent in the black community...from poor to wealthy. We are our own advocates (Civil rights, equality, BLM, racism politics, etc.) and our own worst enemy. (Kicking someone when their down instead of supporting and lifting each other up.)
His wife is the realest of the realest MVP here. Been there from the start and gave Terry all the support he needs. An amazing woman for an amazing man. 👏👏
I'm happy he was able to find a woman willing to actually be supportive of him. It's a little sad how rare that seems to be, regardless of gender, especially once money and fame come into play.
Shame him?! He literally told the guy to stop and pulled away. They act like he saw it was going to happen and sat back and let it happen - those men that mocked him should be ashamed of themselves. They keep saying he should have told him not to touch him, but it happened before he could say anything on the first place - which is VERY common with SA!
That’s what so many people don’t understand. SA isn’t automatically forceful, it doesn’t require you to be ambushed and overpowered in a dark alley. But people genuinely think that if it wasn’t a bigger stronger stranger, it couldn’t have happened.
From experience, I'm 6'2" and at the time I was an athlete at like 220lbs. Similar to Terry except I just froze, didn't say stop, didn't do anything. Just looked away and hoped they would not escalate the situation. Lucky for me they eventually stopped trying; you can't judge how men will react in the moment.
@@braydend9582 I’m so sorry that happened to you. Your story is so common, it’s often shock it’s happened/happening and so your body freeze while it tries to make sense of what’s going on. And it’s even more confusing if a woman is the attacker, many men won’t want to fight back for fear of how it will be turned back on them or sometimes they freeze bc they were raised to never hit a woman, so self defense can feel strange and wrong even when it’s not. No one deserves to be assaulted in any manner.
I've always respected him for speaking out against corn addiction, very sick of people treating it like it's not a bad thing. Hearing a man do that is truly something else.
Terry Crews, more wholesome and real than the Rock Edit: dang...that many likes...also tbf...the last patrick video I seen was about the Rock and tbf, both in the industry, both are buff, and have been in comedy movies aswell as other genre of films...so idk I rest my case?
not just mocked him, but mocked him BEFORE the allegations were resolved. its BLAMING THE VICTIM before accountability takes place. and every one of these men sound like predators when they do this. and i bet half are.
some dudes react like that because deep down they know they'd just freeze up too, women do the same thing with blaming other women, they don't like to think it could happen to them, if you're actually the type to punch an asshole out in public you don't feel the need to talk big in interviews
Crews's reaction was actually a natural one to such violation. Shock and disbelief its even happening. Those guys can act tough until it happens to them.
I agree. I was smacked on my butt by a supervisor in front of 3 other men I worked with. We were all joking and laughing and the supervisor came up did it. None of t he other males ever touched me like that and we were all so shocked and didn’t know what to do. We just all stared at each other then went back to work. I was only 23 and didn’t know what to do. And this was way before people cared about sexual assault or harassment. A few days later he reported me for having a tongue ring (it was against the uniform policy) and if I reported his actions now it would seem like I was making things up to get put of being in trouble. I didn’t want to drag the other guys into the whole mess because I didn’t want them to have ro choose between giving a witness statement or retaliation by other Chiefs ( this was in the military and t the Chiefs mess will protect their own) so I just never said anything. All that to say yes, it’s a shock when someone violates you. And when people don’t help victims or give them a route to speak up, and hold the perp accountable , it makes them feel more empowered to continue their behavior. I’m glad things are changing.
@@TB----Ignore them. They’re making insults like a child. All they had to do was search online for Fight flight freeze and the first page is Wikipedia for the fight or flight response where it clearly says “The fight-or-flight or the fight-flight-freeze-or-fawn is a physiological reaction that occurs…”.
That ending speech from Terry just spoke to the little abused kid deep down in me, and made me misty eyed. I enjoyed him and his work before- I adore and appreciate him now.
I’m so glad that he is actually a good person with a great heart that stuck to the high road and didn’t fall into the abyss of the industry like so many others.

It's the fact that Terry and Meek Mill, instead of being listened to and acknowledged as SA Victims, Rappers really came out and said "GAAAAY" WTF man.
@@Philip_Taylor Do you think people are really planning all of this? Someone somehow knew that Diddy would be raided years ahead of time and told him for whatever reason?
"Success is the warmest place to hide." Wish some people could understand this. Terry said so many absolute gems of wisdom in his interviews. He is an absolute GOAT for humanity.
Which also assumes that his natural instant reaction would be to physically attack the guy rather than to be bewildered and shocked (which by all accounts he was)
Terry probably would've done jailtime, had he fired back and assaulted that dude, and his career would be shutdown right away. Easy for them to say in hindsight he should've defended himself.
IF you're implying that it was women that ridiculed him, please re-evaluate. it was mostly men that mocked him. most women (notice I said most), absolutely believed and supported him.
@@wellthisisinteresting4912I think you don’t understand the misogyny point correctly. People mocked him because they are misogynistic. They believe men can’t be SA. Also they mocked him for not being toxic masculine, which roots in misogyny. Misogyny builds up a believesystem that everything which is considered as feminin is automatically bad and men are not allowed to show emotions, because it’s too female. This shows a hate for femininity, which is misogyny in a nutshell, the term is very complex and worth to be analyzed. Have a good one.
and the audacity to say “humor heals” when talking about someone else’s trauma. Humor can heal, but that’s up to the victim to decide how they want to heal. You don’t get to harass someone with their own trauma and then tell them it’s just a joke. No one else gets to decide how someone heals.
Also, these were NOT jokes. I'm always on the side of jokes being OK, and even though I'm far from talented enough to come up with one, I'm sure some professional comedian could come up with jokes on the matter that would be funny, while nott being at the expense of Terry. But going on an interview and sharing your "thoughts" about how he should have just hit him or something is only funny if your view of masculinity is the ability to punch hard, and you have the humour of a 14 years old insecure boy. It's on the same level of childishness as saying "If a woman tried to rape me I'd fuck her and enjoy it". These people are just clowns.
He did the right thing in the situation with the exec. Thank you for bringing this to light again during the rise of the Ditty tragedy. People need to realize SA happens to everyone irrespective of man, woman, boy or girl.
I met him at the spider-man premiere, and I’ll never forget it. Nicest person there. He said he saw me in the movie, and could have been making it all up, but I don’t care cause I’ll never know and he made me feel great.
As a man that was sexually abused by my cousin, physically and mental abused by my stepdad I know that feeling of being powerless. Eventually I forgave my stepdad because my life had to move forward. Like Terry said at the end I got my power back and I felt free.
The fact that he also mentioned he doesn't like to be violent because it doesn't solve anything. Also explains why he would have froze up and why he didn't do anything back. But these people are too dumb to realize that.
It's not that they are dumb, it all depends on how you are raised and the environment you are raised in, because contrary to the saying, violence does sometimes solve things and anyone who denies that denies history. It is difficult to understand someone that doesn't come from the same background that you do, but it's wrong to ridicule someone because of it.
The fact he doesn't even consider violence as an answer exposes him as a really kind man. I just hate it when awful people mess with kind men. I hope the people that abused and mocked him get their comeuppance.
Being frozen during after SA isn't a choice. It's the primal part of your brain that takes over. It happend to me when I was 14. Dude in his thirties groped me and I just stood there. I always envisioned myself to smack someone. I could be very mouthy and a dareall. I wasn't violent but I always stood my ground with bullies or when my loved ones needed me. But I couldn't move a muscle. He eventually walked away and then I could move again. I was so mad at myself. But then I found out it is a very natural occurence. It doesn't matter what gender or how tough you are. It does matter I guess how treathened or in shock you are. This perp was a powerful billionaire. I do think in a way it's the equivalent being 14 being groped by an older man. It's about power dynamics. But also about the initial shock. I'm a 39 female. I've been SA'ed so much that I do not freeze like that anymore. Cause eventually I sometimes even expected it. But still if the power dynamics are off I could still freeze I guess. You are just overwhelmed and can't process what just happend.
He is a stronger man than anyone who mocked him, because he had the strength to come forward knowing society was going to react to him exactly the way they did. Nobody is better at tearing down black men than other black men.
Hollywood is an absolute cesspool. These people mocking Terry show that they are part of it. Hollywood and people in it have been exposing themselves left and right. Terry is a very rare individual found in that place. I have respect for him. Glad Hollywood hasn’t overcome him.
Can't believe some people on here think that someone like 50 cares about helping victims (with the Diddy case), yet 50 has openly mocked Terry for being SA'd. smh.
I was not expecting to cry this much, damn. He's such an emotionally aware person it's unreal. So much respect to him, he's overcome so many struggles and maintains his composure and integrity the whole way through. He's such an inspiration, I hope kids today look up to people like this. Our world could change so much.
Being a big strong black man, who can relate to terry crews in many ways (actor, failed football star) he is the perfect example of masculinity, as well as destroying the narrative & stereotypes of what black men should be and act like, which is violent, aggressive, absent fathers, & unfaithful men who have kids with many women. It takes a strong man to tell you his weaknesses to help others. His story is truly inspiring.
You know, I dated a man who told my mom and aunties he liked to crochet. One said, “Now that’s a man who’s secure in his masculinity.” They all nodded in agreement. I never forgot that, and while he and I weren’t serious, I learned to respect men like him. Now you’ll understand me when I say I bet you could crochet a mean baby blanket while beaming with pride.
33:18: let’s not forget that this guy that SA him was a Hollywood executive who could end Terry’s job and all he worked for! The executive had more POWER. SA is about POWER.
It's hard for the average person to comprehend because literally 1% of the human race knows what that world is like - the one where you have so much power that you can force and silence those who are not able to physically or financially defend themselves Absolute power corrupts absolutely. It's sickening that Hollywood is as twisted as we all heard about. In fact, it's worse than we could've imagined. 2024 is the year of truth - how many 'heroes' have we seen fall from grace this year? Insane.
That's the biggest lie right there, they have no power but people freeze. Fear of money is why they seem to. Toss him off a roof. He was drunk slipped and fell. You have more power than them in the moment and in person. Gaslight them the same that you tried to help them. Ya can easily match their lil games. Thinking about their money instead of the right and wrong makes people hesitate. Understandable. That's only a choice if you want their money and power as you call it.
Exactly. OP. It’s so strange that people don’t understand that. Yes, Terry could have crushed his SA physically. And then where would he be? Blacklisted from Hollywood with no chance of getting into acting. How many people have had to stay in a job with a crap boss because they had to eat, and didn’t have an immediate backup plan? Terry’s situation was that, but worse. All those that were making fun of him revealed how incapable of reasoning that they were.
I've worked with quite a few celebrities, including Terry. When people ask my favorite celeb I worked with he always comes to mind first. He was kind, professional, and just great to work with.
@@Freakazoid12345 no reason to believe these comments. you see how little kids will just copy past comments and then gleefully thank everyone for giving them "likes". what makes u think these little kids wont make up stories as well to get these coveted, glorious "likes" they so desire?
@@humanbean3I 1000 percent believe what you are saying. But unfortunately for the people who might be telling the truth. We will always have that in the back of our minds. Like how many times did this comment been posted. That being said I could see Terry being the nicest dude ever
@@garrett9562 yeah terry comes across as a real cool guy. i recent saw that he tweeted out for earthbound 3 to get localized to english instead of just japanese lol. i remember him hiring jayztwocents to make him a custom gaming PC (jay did a horrible job btw lol it was crazy how long he took to make him that PC. then again i dont know how much was just advertisement, product placement, etc. u can never trust the internet at face value) we just have to remember that there are little kids and weird ppl all over the internet.
Everyone thinks they know what they would do in a SA situation, everyone thinks they'd fight back but it doesn't work like that. Those macho men who mocked Terry are just as likely to freeze in a similar situation.
I’m so happy to see so many men in these comments supporting Terry. We (men and women) need to take men seriously when they are brave enough to speak up. His size doesn’t matter, he can still be a victim
I absolutely love the way you told Terry Crews’s story. I didn’t know any of the details and you were very respectful and empathetic. This was such a great video. Thank you !
18:37 Julius in Everybody Hates Chris has to be my favorite role Terry has ever played. To this day, I still say "That's (random number) dollars worth of (object that was just wasted) right there!" 😂
At one point in time I had a custom image debit card of Julius and one of his meme quotes “if I don’t buy anything the discount is bigger” lol I think ima do it again lol
Yeah man, when TC came out and said he was SAd so many people were like bro just beat em up. Its not that simple. Someone more famous than you that can literally end your career has so much power over you its almost impossible not to fold
Exactly. They can talk tough all they want, but you would not want to attack the head of a multi-billion dollar company. It wouldn't end well for you. Crews beat him in a way that actually mattered.
Look what happened to Kanye when he called them out. Names like epstein, Cohen, goldman. A certain group of folks, run these industries. And they have depraved minds.
And it's not even just that. Most people will never understand what it's like to be in that situation; you can be massive, you can be carrying a gun, whatever. You simply have no idea how that will hit you psychologically. There are many reasons so much abuse and assault never get reported, and they aren't limited to the fear of retaliation (though that's certainly one very real concern).
This is a general problem for men who have been sexually assaulted, both my sister and I were raped by our parents in our childhood. And the reaction it gets is usually polar opposites, my sister is often met with sympathy and empathy when talking about it. Where I've personally experienced that I mostly get stupid comments like I liked it because my mom was "hot", how is it rape if I got hard or why didn't I fight back since it happened in my teen years. I especially get the last one because similar to Terry Crews I'm a big muscular man at 6'7 and around 240 lbs and I train Kickboxing and Taekwondo, I think it's great that female victims are taken more seriously today I just wish that the male victims got the same energy. Terry Crews is one of my Idols since the day he stepped forward and spoke up, and he stood strong even tho alot of the public was mocking him throughout it all. I hope anyone who reada this will remember this the next time they encounter any victim of sexual abuse, because its such a scary and lonely thing to experience one kind comment of encouragement really does make a difference
It's disgusting to expect black men should use violence right there and then in a situation Terry had. And to speculate on his sexuality because he took the high road. Look at Will Smith. He was laughing but realized he had to use violence for making fun of his "wife" by a comedian.
@violetvictoria7248 well look how he handled that situation. Came clean and took accountability, and worked with his wife to repair their marriage. That's way way more than most men who cheat would do.

I never wanted to meet an actor before. But I hope I can meet Terry Crews one day to shake his hand, if not give him a big hug and thank him for everything he's done.
The fact that these so called men mocked terry crews is beyond disgusting. As someone who went through months of SA, grooming, every kind of manipulation imaginable, as a child, I can definitely say that Terry’s reaction in that situation would have been a response of almost anybody. When it happens in a public place, you’re so shocked, your body and brain doesn’t even want to believe or comprehend the situation as reality and so you freeze. And then your brain literally tries to convince you that it didn’t happen and then you face the guilt of “maybe it’s my fault” bc that way atleast you feel in control of yourself and reality. It took me 8 years to convince myself that what happened to me for MONTH-AS A MINOR- was not my fault and gather enough to courage to seek justice. I can’t even imagine a grown man having to face the reality of what happened and the battle of “I could have done more” or “it’s my fault”
Crews is such a lovely, thoughtful human being. Anyone who makes fun of his history and his pain is either braindead or emotionally dead inside. Or both.
Terry looks like a good hearted man, his acting roles say it all, always lit up energy, he’s not here to cause harm, and sadly that allowed for others to abuse him.
I really love the fact that Terry spoke up to teach his own children that they should never feel ashamed of speaking up and fighting for themselves. You go, Terry.
This man is so secure and grounded in his spirit and masculinity, even *that* incident didn't shake him. And it takes A BEAST to digest and retaliate appropriately to such an animalistic treatment. He deserves better than that industry.
Terry getting attacked for daring to share his experience during the MeToo era, by people who claimed to support MeToo, was DAUNTING to see. The guy told everyone, what might've been, the worst experience in his entire life... and people told him to keep quiet, that it wasn't his moment and that he shouldn't dare to speak about his experience, too. The guy was telling his story as an example of "Listen to them! It even happened to someone like me! Anyone can be a victim! Listen!" and got absolutely ganged up on for it.

He is a very strong and open man. I saw Terry Crews Eats His Last Meal and Terry was open about his mental state in a way that can help others. Very touching to see someone also talking about shortcomings and things he has overcome.
Patrick, this video was beautifully done. He seems to be such a genuine, insightful individual. The way you ended it the video with Terry’s speech about forgiveness moved me so deeply 💜
I was SA'd when I was younger by my own father. My mom was the only one who believed me. No one else believed me. His side of the family said my mom made it up. The justice system acted with injustice because it was a child's word against an adult's word. When Terry Crews came out about what happened to him, it made me feel heard. It's sickening to see all those fools who made fun of him or didn't believe just because he has muscles. This unfortunate trauma happen to anyone, it doesn't matter who you are or what you look like.
THIS. I honestly think the people that shame survivors have experienced SA themselves, and they double down on being "strong" enough to power through it.
Terry is more of a man than any of those self proclaimed tough guys. It takes a strong man to choose civility and embrace humility for the sake of protecting others rather than taking the easy route and giving in to impulses.
29:33 terry crews grew up in abusive household (me too twin), that freeze response is a real thing even if ppl don’t believe it or if it is inconvenient
I can't even tell you how much joy Terry crews brings to me. And then to find out he's genuinely a wholesome and kind human being just makes it even greater❤

Terry Crews grew up with violence rampant in his home. He chose not to use violence but civility to solve his problem. You got to respect that.
He broke the cycle of abuse. That always deserves respect.
That's just how big of man he actually is. Not only physical, mentally as well.
Probably his biggest test of character ever and he definitely passed it
True
I love Terry Crews but you're making out like he's a hero and an example. People do this every single day, they just aren't famous.
Terry ain't out there redefining masculinity. He's out there being the example of masculinity to the world.
Yes precisely
Absolutely this, he is the real man and those criticising him at the start of this video have still to finish going through puberty.
That’s what this world needs
Yeah, this UA-camr feels like hes one of the weirdo twitter lefties by how he talks.

Terry has one hell of a story. My heart breaks for his struggles and the humiliation he endured from his own community.
Wishing he and his family happiness, success, and peace!
Back when i browsed reddit I remember Terry posted there about his son wanting to have his own custom gaming computer and instead of just buying one (he was successful at this point) he wanted to build one with his son for fun and the pc building community over there shared what be needed to buy and he did and built it with his son but it wouldn't turn on.. After trouble shooting he resigned to bring it to the local Best Buy geek squad. They took the PC and found that they simply needed to flip the voltage switch on the power supply and then it worked beautifully. And it was a kind of funny moment that we could share as first time builders because it was such a incredibly minor detail that any person could have overlooked whether they were experienced or not. Anyway, obviously a genuinely good dude and good father!
That's such a neat story
That is so cool!
What r/ was that?
I remember that too, it made me smile how he was so exited while telling the story. That man is truly a gem.
Awwwww, that’s pure awesomeness. Thank you for sharing ❤
Saying a 200 pound muscular dude can't be sexually assaulted is EXACTLY like saying an unattractive woman will NEVER be raped. Disgusting!
For real! Terry Crews is very attractive 😭😭
@@Abstractionyo he is. he's funny. he's charming. and like other said, a big teddy bear.
It's like they skipped the whole middle school biology class about "fight, fright or flight" which is all emotional and brain response to danger.
💯
Correct, It's so assine to think that way. Sexual and mental abuse go so deep that it hurts your soul! I never went through that Thank God but personally met a couple of people growing up that did go through that horror. The things that they went through as young kids was despicable and just made you go through the whole range of emotions it takes years of therapy and real work to come out the other side intact. Sadly some people do not make it out!!
The fact that Crews used his platform to advocate for survivors, knowing the ridicule that would follow, shows a level of courage that’s rare. He wasn’t just breaking his own silence-he was fighting to reshape how we see male survivors of abuse, especially in industries where power is so often unchecked. His story continues to serve as a powerful reminder that we have to do better in supporting victims, regardless of gender, and in questioning the systems that protect abusers. Crews isn’t just a symbol of resilience-he’s a call to action.
Beautifully said!!! And I absolutely agree!
He also learned that some of his behavior was misogynistic & fixed it.
yal be using that "survivor" word too loosely....

“Humility will get you far” - Terry Crews

Like that's so victim blamey because you littraly are saying any form of violence wether it's offensive or defensive is bad.
If a woman gets assulted and scratches the guy's eyes out to get away would you say she is violent, aggressive if you would your the problem.

As a victim of SA when I was 12, this video had me in tears at the end. Terry Crews is a spectacularly brave man.
Great way to end the video. 🥹
In my teens I was harassed a bit online. I still remember how gross I felt afterwards and It was through a videogame. I cannot imagine what it takes to come forward after being groped by someone so powerful
His testimony to Congress is surreal
So was my spouse. But at a younger age still. People are terrible and I'm sorry that that happened to you.

yea such a great husband that he cheated on his wife
I love how he didn't know much about video games, but his son was super into them, so Terry decided they'd get all the pieces and tools as a project to build his son his own gaming setup, and he learned about video games, and how they're made, and how they're played, and he's able to share that interest with his son now. It's something my own dad was thiiiiisss clossssse 🤏 to doing with my sister, and he ultimately let the opportunity pass him by
I doubt it he's sold his soul to Hollywood to go famous. Probably ain't as good of a human as it seems. Just like all celebrities.

yeah.. I've never really understood the appeal. he's not really particularly memorable or overtly talented in any way. Just kind of fell into the right spot early on and made the most of it. Can't really hate on him for that. But yeah. He's got one of those weird Mr. Beast smiles where his eyes don't even change remotely.. Fake human being.
Facts
They're focusing on his reaction to the assault rather than the actual assault itself. Being muscular doesn't give you abilities to ward off perverts. Even if he did fight back, the fact that he got groped still remains.
Terry is more of a man than all the men who teased and mocked him
Facts
All those men are dumb. 50 included, I'm so disappointed. How could they not understand, that if Terry fought back he would be the villain? Why should he risk reputation while he is being assaulted? They really think that it doesn't matter if assault happens as long as you can fight.

Love Terry, he showed me what true strength looks like - emotional maturity, I hope he keeps up
Shame him?! He literally told the guy to stop and pulled away. They act like he saw it was going to happen and sat back and let it happen - those men that mocked him should be ashamed of themselves. They keep saying he should have told him not to touch him, but it happened before he could say anything on the first place - which is VERY common with SA!
That’s what so many people don’t understand. SA isn’t automatically forceful, it doesn’t require you to be ambushed and overpowered in a dark alley. But people genuinely think that if it wasn’t a bigger stronger stranger, it couldn’t have happened.
From experience, I'm 6'2" and at the time I was an athlete at like 220lbs. Similar to Terry except I just froze, didn't say stop, didn't do anything. Just looked away and hoped they would not escalate the situation. Lucky for me they eventually stopped trying; you can't judge how men will react in the moment.
@@braydend9582 I’m so sorry that happened to you. Your story is so common, it’s often shock it’s happened/happening and so your body freeze while it tries to make sense of what’s going on. And it’s even more confusing if a woman is the attacker, many men won’t want to fight back for fear of how it will be turned back on them or sometimes they freeze bc they were raised to never hit a woman, so self defense can feel strange and wrong even when it’s not. No one deserves to be assaulted in any manner.
Even if he didn’t say anything this is a common reaction to abuse. Ppl say it’s fight or flight but it’s also freeze. You’re absolutely right Amy.

not just mocked him, but mocked him BEFORE the allegations were resolved. its BLAMING THE VICTIM before accountability takes place. and every one of these men sound like predators when they do this. and i bet half are.
some dudes react like that because deep down they know they'd just freeze up too, women do the same thing with blaming other women, they don't like to think it could happen to them, if you're actually the type to punch an asshole out in public you don't feel the need to talk big in interviews

One of them wears a balenciaga pullover. They are in on the abuse scheme.
Crews's reaction was actually a natural one to such violation. Shock and disbelief its even happening. Those guys can act tough until it happens to them.
I agree. I was smacked on my butt by a supervisor in front of 3 other men I worked with. We were all joking and laughing and the supervisor came up did it. None of t he other males ever touched me like that and we were all so shocked and didn’t know what to do. We just all stared at each other then went back to work. I was only 23 and didn’t know what to do. And this was way before people cared about sexual assault or harassment. A few days later he reported me for having a tongue ring (it was against the uniform policy) and if I reported his actions now it would seem like I was making things up to get put of being in trouble. I didn’t want to drag the other guys into the whole mess because I didn’t want them to have ro choose between giving a witness statement or retaliation by other Chiefs ( this was in the military and t the Chiefs mess will protect their own) so I just never said anything. All that to say yes, it’s a shock when someone violates you. And when people don’t help victims or give them a route to speak up, and hold the perp accountable , it makes them feel more empowered to continue their behavior. I’m glad things are changing.
@@TB---- That's fright dumbahhh

Love how you explain their entire upbringing leading into the point instead of just the point of the title on its own.
"You should have physically assaulted the executive at the party to keep him from assaulting you" then get arrested and delisted. SMH.
Which also assumes that his natural instant reaction would be to physically attack the guy rather than to be bewildered and shocked (which by all accounts he was)
Alternate timeline: "I can't believe Terry Crews hit that guy, he's out of control"

@@wellthisisinteresting4912I think you don’t understand the misogyny point correctly. People mocked him because they are misogynistic. They believe men can’t be SA. Also they mocked him for not being toxic masculine, which roots in misogyny.

This shows a hate for femininity, which is misogyny in a nutshell, the term is very complex and worth to be analyzed. Have a good one.
Nick Cannon saying “we are allowed to make jokes about it” is wild. They be the first ones talking about how hard men have it but then Shame him.

@@ethandevine8571 thank you 🙏🏾
Also, these were NOT jokes. I'm always on the side of jokes being OK, and even though I'm far from talented enough to come up with one, I'm sure some professional comedian could come up with jokes on the matter that would be funny, while nott being at the expense of Terry.
But going on an interview and sharing your "thoughts" about how he should have just hit him or something is only funny if your view of masculinity is the ability to punch hard, and you have the humour of a 14 years old insecure boy. It's on the same level of childishness as saying "If a woman tried to rape me I'd fuck her and enjoy it".
These people are just clowns.
He did the right thing in the situation with the exec. Thank you for bringing this to light again during the rise of the Ditty tragedy. People need to realize SA happens to everyone irrespective of man, woman, boy or girl.

What a beautiful man. Inside and out. Mad respect for this gentleman.
Yep. As a straight white male, I find specimens like Crews attractive.
The fact that he also mentioned he doesn't like to be violent because it doesn't solve anything. Also explains why he would have froze up and why he didn't do anything back. But these people are too dumb to realize that.
It's not that they are dumb, it all depends on how you are raised and the environment you are raised in, because contrary to the saying, violence does sometimes solve things and anyone who denies that denies history. It is difficult to understand someone that doesn't come from the same background that you do, but it's wrong to ridicule someone because of it.
I was just thinking this.
The fact he doesn't even consider violence as an answer exposes him as a really kind man. I just hate it when awful people mess with kind men. I hope the people that abused and mocked him get their comeuppance.
@@NelsonStJamesviolence has never been a true solution to anything. Maybe temporary but not a permanent solution
Being frozen during after SA isn't a choice. It's the primal part of your brain that takes over. It happend to me when I was 14. Dude in his thirties groped me and I just stood there. I always envisioned myself to smack someone. I could be very mouthy and a dareall. I wasn't violent but I always stood my ground with bullies or when my loved ones needed me. But I couldn't move a muscle. He eventually walked away and then I could move again. I was so mad at myself. But then I found out it is a very natural occurence. It doesn't matter what gender or how tough you are. It does matter I guess how treathened or in shock you are. This perp was a powerful billionaire. I do think in a way it's the equivalent being 14 being groped by an older man. It's about power dynamics. But also about the initial shock. I'm a 39 female. I've been SA'ed so much that I do not freeze like that anymore. Cause eventually I sometimes even expected it. But still if the power dynamics are off I could still freeze I guess. You are just overwhelmed and can't process what just happend.
He is a stronger man than anyone who mocked him, because he had the strength to come forward knowing society was going to react to him exactly the way they did. Nobody is better at tearing down black men than other black men.
Hollywood is an absolute cesspool. These people mocking Terry show that they are part of it. Hollywood and people in it have been exposing themselves left and right. Terry is a very rare individual found in that place. I have respect for him. Glad Hollywood hasn’t overcome him.
It always has been since the days of Harry Cohn and Hitchcock.
Well , it's a certain religion... always running it. They especially get over on the rap community
It seems to be a problem with the Jewish faith. Terry’s molester was jewish just like Weinstein and Epstein.

Can't believe some people on here think that someone like 50 cares about helping victims (with the Diddy case), yet 50 has openly mocked Terry for being SA'd. smh.
I was not expecting to cry this much, damn. He's such an emotionally aware person it's unreal. So much respect to him, he's overcome so many struggles and maintains his composure and integrity the whole way through. He's such an inspiration, I hope kids today look up to people like this. Our world could change so much.
he the epitome of "be a leader that is strong enough to be gentle".
Being a big strong black man, who can relate to terry crews in many ways (actor, failed football star) he is the perfect example of masculinity, as well as destroying the narrative & stereotypes of what black men should be and act like, which is violent, aggressive, absent fathers, & unfaithful men who have kids with many women. It takes a strong man to tell you his weaknesses to help others. His story is truly inspiring.
Well said
True masculinity is loving at its root.
You know, I dated a man who told my mom and aunties he liked to crochet. One said, “Now that’s a man who’s secure in his masculinity.” They all nodded in agreement. I never forgot that, and while he and I weren’t serious, I learned to respect men like him. Now you’ll understand me when I say I bet you could crochet a mean baby blanket while beaming with pride.

@@billbill6094 thank you brotha!
33:18: let’s not forget that this guy that SA him was a Hollywood executive who could end Terry’s job and all he worked for! The executive had more POWER. SA is about POWER.
It's hard for the average person to comprehend because literally 1% of the human race knows what that world is like - the one where you have so much power that you can force and silence those who are not able to physically or financially defend themselves
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. It's sickening that Hollywood is as twisted as we all heard about. In fact, it's worse than we could've imagined.
2024 is the year of truth - how many 'heroes' have we seen fall from grace this year? Insane.
THANK YOU! Very well pointed out x
There's also the fact that he's been fighting the stereotype, so if he reacted as those assholes wanted he'd just be viewed as a violent meathead
That's the biggest lie right there, they have no power but people freeze. Fear of money is why they seem to. Toss him off a roof. He was drunk slipped and fell.
You have more power than them in the moment and in person. Gaslight them the same that you tried to help them. Ya can easily match their lil games.
Thinking about their money instead of the right and wrong makes people hesitate. Understandable. That's only a choice if you want their money and power as you call it.
Exactly. OP. It’s so strange that people don’t understand that. Yes, Terry could have crushed his SA physically. And then where would he be? Blacklisted from Hollywood with no chance of getting into acting.
How many people have had to stay in a job with a crap boss because they had to eat, and didn’t have an immediate backup plan? Terry’s situation was that, but worse. All those that were making fun of him revealed how incapable of reasoning that they were.
What a great example you are Mr. Crews. Thank you for exposing your pain to help others. God bless you and yours.

@@garrett9562 yeah terry comes across as a real cool guy. i recent saw that he tweeted out for earthbound 3 to get localized to english instead of just japanese lol. i remember him hiring jayztwocents to make him a custom gaming PC (jay did a horrible job btw lol it was crazy how long he took to make him that PC. then again i dont know how much was just advertisement, product placement, etc. u can never trust the internet at face value)
we just have to remember that there are little kids and weird ppl all over the internet.
Wow. Had no idea what a kind, inspirational and encouraging man Terry Crews is. Thanks for do this. Opened my eyes.
man, i fuckin love terry crews. he’s such a genuine human and really glad we have him. he is so precious and must be protected at all costs ❤
Behind that big and gentle smile is so much pain he had to endure 😢😢 This video made me respect him so much more ❤
Everyone thinks they know what they would do in a SA situation, everyone thinks they'd fight back but it doesn't work like that. Those macho men who mocked Terry are just as likely to freeze in a similar situation.
It probably happened to them and they just tryna joke on Terry becuase they want to look cool
Terry knew the truth of the world in that moment, he's rich but the white man that signs his checks is *wealthy*.
@@djbobby224indeed
Indeed. I have been there
@@djbobby224 Nick Cannon sounded like he's trying to convince himself it's "funny"
Terry crews definitely an iconic for not only as an artist & actor. But as a hero, mentor and spokes man. A very blessed soul
I’m so happy to see so many men in these comments supporting Terry. We (men and women) need to take men seriously when they are brave enough to speak up. His size doesn’t matter, he can still be a victim
I absolutely love the way you told Terry Crews’s story. I didn’t know any of the details and you were very respectful and empathetic. This was such a great video. Thank you !
I'm glad you showed Terry Crews some love he just seems like a good dude.
18:37 Julius in Everybody Hates Chris has to be my favorite role Terry has ever played. To this day, I still say "That's (random number) dollars worth of (object that was just wasted) right there!" 😂
At one point in time I had a custom image debit card of Julius and one of his meme quotes “if I don’t buy anything the discount is bigger” lol
I think ima do it again lol
My favorite role is Sgt. Terry Jeffords.
@@PoweredByEnvy that was a great role!
Literally such a fire show. Rochelle’s sooo hilarious
frr
The funny part is is that none of them people will say that to Terry Crews face
50 would definitely say it to his face, but still doesn't make him in the right for mocking him.
Terry no longer sees violence as a resort.
@@saraha.3171facts, and that's why 50 cent got shot 9 times. He is a petty dude. DL hugley be looking for attention cause he's washed.
@@tev0tv True. He's really petty, but I give him huge props for calling out Diddy. I hear he's really kind to his fans too.
@@saraha.3171 bahahha 50 cent is an abuser like Diddy. LOCK HIM UP
Honestly his story is encouraging, for all the right reasons
Yeah man, when TC came out and said he was SAd so many people were like bro just beat em up. Its not that simple. Someone more famous than you that can literally end your career has so much power over you its almost impossible not to fold
Exactly. They can talk tough all they want, but you would not want to attack the head of a multi-billion dollar company. It wouldn't end well for you. Crews beat him in a way that actually mattered.
They knew that very well. Look at the bs FL Hughey was spewing after TC owned him. Stupid race hustler and diddy enabler.
Look what happened to Kanye when he called them out. Names like epstein, Cohen, goldman. A certain group of folks, run these industries. And they have depraved minds.
He's a giant Blk man, they would have used that centuries long prejudice against him.
And it's not even just that. Most people will never understand what it's like to be in that situation; you can be massive, you can be carrying a gun, whatever. You simply have no idea how that will hit you psychologically. There are many reasons so much abuse and assault never get reported, and they aren't limited to the fear of retaliation (though that's certainly one very real concern).
This is a general problem for men who have been sexually assaulted, both my sister and I were raped by our parents in our childhood. And the reaction it gets is usually polar opposites, my sister is often met with sympathy and empathy when talking about it. Where I've personally experienced that I mostly get stupid comments like I liked it because my mom was "hot", how is it rape if I got hard or why didn't I fight back since it happened in my teen years.
I especially get the last one because similar to Terry Crews I'm a big muscular man at 6'7 and around 240 lbs and I train Kickboxing and Taekwondo, I think it's great that female victims are taken more seriously today I just wish that the male victims got the same energy. Terry Crews is one of my Idols since the day he stepped forward and spoke up, and he stood strong even tho alot of the public was mocking him throughout it all.
I hope anyone who reada this will remember this the next time they encounter any victim of sexual abuse, because its such a scary and lonely thing to experience one kind comment of encouragement really does make a difference
You're 6'7 and 140lbs?
@@Elucidator18im saying thats insane
@@Elucidator18 that's a typo lol I'm 240 lbs
I'm so sorry for what happened to you and your sister😢
I hope you and your sister are healing 💜
It's disgusting to expect black men should use violence right there and then in a situation Terry had. And to speculate on his sexuality because he took the high road. Look at Will Smith. He was laughing but realized he had to use violence for making fun of his "wife" by a comedian.
Will Smith is the main one "victimizing" people thats why he was laughing. Its so deplorable what he did to Bryshere Grey.
@@KassieJones2010 ?
Come on, Will Smith is as bad as the worst of them. Or do you think he has not "played ball" during his whole A-lister career and before?
@@LetHimRead If you're answering me, I never heard that story before.
I don’t expect black men to do that, I expect all men to do that. He let it slide for the money, and that’s cringe.
Thanks!
I love Terry Crews sm. He's such a sweetie. Makes me sad to know about his struggles but he helps people.
He seems so but him cheatign on his wife wasn't so sweet
@@VLuava5v5 Two things can be true. He can have made mistakes in his marriage, and also be a sweet person.
@violetvictoria7248 well look how he handled that situation. Came clean and took accountability, and worked with his wife to repair their marriage. That's way way more than most men who cheat would do.
Yeah, I always liked Terry. Even before I knew how cool he was in real life.
@@liahlong8823 You think a trash walking back in and seating on your coach is impressive? How many dxck are you expecting to have after saying the most stupidest shit i ever heard like damn pick me. Respect your self because yes you got him but everyone will look down on you. You're no longer smart girl, your the dumb one and a easy one at that. You have to be into degrading kink to go back to your ex.
Everybody Loves Terry Crews
*Everybody Hates Chris*
I used to like Chris intil that Oprah/Kamala BS that I didn't watch.
@@WakandaForever1776just because he’s supporting a democrat? Who cares. He’s still great
I love how Terry breaks every stereotype
@@kyledodson2992 Yet it's Republicans that are trying to say Democrats are the one's dividing us.. and "whining" all the time.. I'm an Independent, but all I freaking see is Trump supporters hating ANYONE who doesn't support who they basically look up to as a god. 🙄Cry "fake news!" over anything they don't want to hear, no questions asked.. and believing any ridiculous thing they are told, that they want to hear.. no questions asked. I could care less who you vote for, but I like to stay out of political debates with people I know. Everyone's a hypocrite nowadays..
Who is chris?
I never wanted to meet an actor before. But I hope I can meet Terry Crews one day to shake his hand, if not give him a big hug and thank him for everything he's done.
I hope you get to meet him
The fact that these so called men mocked terry crews is beyond disgusting. As someone who went through months of SA, grooming, every kind of manipulation imaginable, as a child, I can definitely say that Terry’s reaction in that situation would have been a response of almost anybody. When it happens in a public place, you’re so shocked, your body and brain doesn’t even want to believe or comprehend the situation as reality and so you freeze. And then your brain literally tries to convince you that it didn’t happen and then you face the guilt of “maybe it’s my fault” bc that way atleast you feel in control of yourself and reality.
It took me 8 years to convince myself that what happened to me for MONTH-AS A MINOR- was not my fault and gather enough to courage to seek justice.
I can’t even imagine a grown man having to face the reality of what happened and the battle of “I could have done more” or “it’s my fault”
Crews is such a lovely, thoughtful human being. Anyone who makes fun of his history and his pain is either braindead or emotionally dead inside. Or both.
Nah Nick Cannon trying to poke fun at Terry Crews is a foul
Waiting for the confirmation that Nick had it tooted up for Diddy
@@MagnoliaSivversonwouldn't be surprised after his Taylor swift comment. Guys a complete clown
He’s a complete creep, his comments arent valid
He's been bunged out.
Would they make the same jokes of a female who was sexually assaulted?
Terry looks like a good hearted man, his acting roles say it all, always lit up energy, he’s not here to cause harm, and sadly that allowed for others to abuse him.
I really love the fact that Terry spoke up to teach his own children that they should never feel ashamed of speaking up and fighting for themselves. You go, Terry.
Very glad you covered this Man's story. Its been one hell of a ride for him, may he heal and him and his family stay blessed!
This man is so secure and grounded in his spirit and masculinity, even *that* incident didn't shake him. And it takes A BEAST to digest and retaliate appropriately to such an animalistic treatment.
He deserves better than that industry.
Terry getting attacked for daring to share his experience during the MeToo era, by people who claimed to support MeToo, was DAUNTING to see.
The guy told everyone, what might've been, the worst experience in his entire life... and people told him to keep quiet, that it wasn't his moment and that he shouldn't dare to speak about his experience, too. The guy was telling his story as an example of "Listen to them! It even happened to someone like me! Anyone can be a victim! Listen!" and got absolutely ganged up on for it.
That was not people from the metoo movement
It was MEN
Isn’t this similar to Brendan Fraser?
Big men get SA’d too! Size gender colour age does not protect ANYONE
I’m so sorry it happened and no one listened
@@Danny01474 Asia Argento and Amber Heard were the "Faces" of Metoo
Both women are known predators and Asia Argento even tried to pay her TEEN BOY victim's parents to keep quiet
Amber abused and assaulted her ex girlfriends even one has a restraining order on her
then u got 50, nick cannon and the other clowns making fun of him for it 🤦♂️
@@meaculpa22 lol no, trust me. I was on Twitter reading, back then. PLENTY of women who had "MeToo" stories that attacked and told him to keep quiet, it was WOMEN'S turn to talk.
Victim shaming transcends colour, race and gender, I create awareness among youth and repeatedly have shared how man also have faced this situation and it is worse for them . Thank you for posting this it is helpful and encouraging ❤
Terry Crews will always be a a legend. “That’s 82 cents worth of electricity”
He is a very strong and open man. I saw Terry Crews Eats His Last Meal and Terry was open about his mental state in a way that can help others. Very touching to see someone also talking about shortcomings and things he has overcome.
Patrick, this video was beautifully done. He seems to be such a genuine, insightful individual. The way you ended it the video with Terry’s speech about forgiveness moved me so deeply 💜
22:49 not gonna lie his wife looks like she could’ve played the main character in White Chicks😂😂😂
thats what a genuine heart looks like. people like him give us hope. Just knowing that good does exist.
...... is anyone really under the impression that good is non-existent though??🤔
@@joey104102 wen u look at the evil shit humans get up to- then yes. there are days most doubt good exists. esp if u a victim.
I was SA'd when I was younger by my own father. My mom was the only one who believed me. No one else believed me. His side of the family said my mom made it up. The justice system acted with injustice because it was a child's word against an adult's word. When Terry Crews came out about what happened to him, it made me feel heard. It's sickening to see all those fools who made fun of him or didn't believe just because he has muscles. This unfortunate trauma happen to anyone, it doesn't matter who you are or what you look like.
If you don't mind me asking, did your mom leave him?
I'm sorry this happened to you.
@@liamphibia thank you
Not necessarily you can overpower most people if you're big and strong making it less likely to happen to you
I am sorry this happened to you and glad that your mother believed you. It is often not the case.
People hurt people, men just like Terry Crew have a right to speak up and shouldn't be shamed for it 🙏🏽💜 to Terry Crew
THIS. I honestly think the people that shame survivors have experienced SA themselves, and they double down on being "strong" enough to power through it.
@@saraphinn sad, heal in possess to move forward and stay strong and at peace at the end of the day it's not their fault.
Hurt people hurt people.
Terry is more of a man than any of those self proclaimed tough guys. It takes a strong man to choose civility and embrace humility for the sake of protecting others rather than taking the easy route and giving in to impulses.
Terry Crews taught me how to be vulnerable and speak about my trauma
23:48 - 33:27
29:33 terry crews grew up in abusive household (me too twin), that freeze response is a real thing even if ppl don’t believe it or if it is inconvenient
I can't even tell you how much joy Terry crews brings to me. And then to find out he's genuinely a wholesome and kind human being just makes it even greater❤
Dude, chill out!
