Earlier this week, Brooklyn Nine-Nine actor Terry Crews tweeted about a time he was groped by an executive at an industry party. He chose not to lash out at the time because he knew how it would look, placing him in an unfortunate dynamic in which “the predator has power and influence” — much like the Weinstein victims.

Crews tweeted, “‘240 lbs. Black Man stomps out Hollywood Honcho’ would be the headline the next day.” He added, “I let it go. And I understand why many women who this happens to let it go.
