In a series of video confessions that could one day become educational tools, former NFL player and Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Terry Crews has taken it upon himself to reveal his “dirty little secret” — a porn addiction.

Crews actually first revealed his addiction two years ago in his memoir, titled Manhood. And in an interview with Wendy Williams to promote the book, he admitted, “I was addicted to pornography since I was 12 years old. My father was addicted to alcohol and my mother was addicted to religion. So what happens is you had an addictive household.” He then claimed that it was his addiction that led him to eventually cheat on his wife.

My wife was literally like, ‘I don’t know you any more. I’m outta here’

“It messed up my life in a lot of ways,” he said of pornography, which he labeled “a worldwide problem.” “My wife was literally like, ‘I don’t know you any more. I’m outta here.’”

After entering rehab six years ago, Crews changed his ways and now firmly believes porn “changes the way you think about people. People become objects. People become body parts. People become things to be used rather than people to be loved.”
