Terry Crews says only a few people came forward to offer their support after he spoke out about being sexually assaulted in 2017.

“To be honest with you, when it first happened there was none for a long time,” Crews, 50, shared on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” on Sunday. “The people who surprised me the most were black women. Black men did not want any part of it. All my support came from black women. Straight up.”

Crews said he and his family were shocked by the lack of universal support. He said he really thought other black men would lend a helping hand.

“A lot of guys were just like, ‘Man, you weak. You sorry. You should have hit him. Knocked him out. You should have did all this stuff,” Crews added. “Black women were like, ‘No, no. It doesn’t work like that. I was shocked at the split within my own community.”

In October 2017, Crews alleged that “high level” Hollywood executive Adam Venit grabbed and squeezed his crotch at a party in 2016.

Crews filed a suit, which was settled.

Vent denied the allegations, but Crews did publish the apology letter Venit sent him.
