Crews greindi frá áreitninni í október en hann sakaði kvikmyndaframleiðanda um að hafa gripið í kynfæri sín á viðburði í Hollywood. Crews kom fyrir þingnefnd Bandaríkjaþings á þriðjudag og sagði frá upplifun sinni auk þess sem hann hvatti karlkyns þolendur kynferðisofbeldis að stíga fram, líkt og konur hafa gert í stríðum straumum í kjölfar #MeToo-byltingarinnar.
I asked @TerryCrews why he didn't use his considerable strength to fight back when he was sexually assaulted. His answer is a powerful reminder of how victims are too often forced into silence to avoid damaging their careers or reputations. We need to hear the truth. pic.twitter.com/8xSxnhXj91

Í færslu 50 Cent mátti sjá myndir af Crews. Á einni þeirra stóð „Mér var nauðgað, eiginkona mín horfði bara á það“ og þá gaf 50 Cent til kynna að honum þætti málið allt hið fyndnasta. Rapparinn eyddi færslunni skömmu síðar en skjáskot af henni ganga enn manna á milli á samfélagsmiðlum.

So Terry Crews had the guts to speak out about assault and 50 cent thinks it's funny. This is why men bottle up their hurt

50 cent is trash and has been trash. Reported those two posts(ig) he made about Terry Crews. Disgusting.

Toxic masculinity is what is doing @50cent instead of showing support to @terrycrews he is mocking him.

Childish.
Rape, harassment & assault are often approached as “womans issues” where boys and men are sidelined as silent victims. That @terrycrews is speaking out about this culture is a good thing and supporters need to be louder than those who chose to ridicule him for speaking his truth.

Terry Crews is a hero. Men who destroy toxic masculinity and misogyny are the new “real men”...if you must continue using that expression. I prefer hero. I've lost much respect for many of you based on your reaction to his courage.

We've been sexually assaulted.
Men:
We've been sexually assaulted too. When will you talk about us?
Terry Crews:
I was assaulted.
Men:
Big man like you? You let it happen. You must have wanted it. Why didn't you speak up since? You're not serious. Such a pick me.
