*Terry Crews went on a Twitter tear Friday with accusations that his former agency, WME, is engaged in acts of “retaliation” over his two lawsuits against them.
Last month, Crews accused the then-head of WME’s Motion Picture Department, Adam Venit, of groping him at a party. Now, he’s accusing the agency of hacking his son’s computer and secretly recording members of his family.
“I believe my family is being tracked and possibly bugged,” Crews said in a series of tweets, “Someone hacked into the computer my son and I built together. I have to shut it down and replace the hard drive.”
Crews also said WME executives tried to use Russell Simmons to “pressure me into dropping my case.”
“Somehow they thought he was the “King of Black people,” Crews wrote.
Crews filed a sexual assault report with the Los Angeles Police Department and filed his own civil lawsuit against the agent.
“LAPD task force detectives let me know these people don’t play fair. There are a lot of secrets to protect, and they will do anything to keep them,” Crews wrote. “The town is compromised. But me, and my team, are not. If I were to have a timely ‘accident’ — you know where to look.”
“Retaliation in some form is expected- I would be naive to think otherwise,” he tweeted Friday in conclusion. “But vulnerability and openness is actually my best protection. I’m ready.”

@WME general counsel Seth Krauss surreptitiously brought up my wife’s name to my former attorney re: my case.@TMZ met me and my wife at the as we left the airport, then mysteriously edited out my comments about how they collude with the studios and agencies.

Retaliation in some form is expected- I would be naive to think otherwise…
But vulnerability and openness is actually my best protection.
I’m ready.

Last month, WME completed its two-week investigation into Venit’s conduct and stripped him of his position as head of the agency’s motion picture group, but decided to keep him on as an agent. Crews tweeted in response: “Someone got a pass.”
