As Twitchy told you yesterday, Rob Schneider said that he’d been sexually harassed by a Hollywood higher-up. And today, actor Terry Crews is sharing a disturbing story of his own:
This whole thing with Harvey Weinstein is giving me PTSD. Why? Because this kind of thing happened to ME. (1/Cont.)

Jumping back I said What are you doing?! My wife saw everything n we looked at him like he was crazy. He just grinned like a jerk. (3/cont.)

He called me the next day with an apology but never really explained why he did what he did. (8/cont.)

I let it go. And I understand why many women who this happens to let it go. (10/cont.)
