WME's Adam Venit On Leave Over Terry Crews' Sexual Harassment Claim

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

The actor and WME client tweeted Oct. 10 of a "high-level Hollywood executive" who groped him at a party last year.

WME agent Adam Venit is on leave after being identified as the subject of Terry Crews' account of his own sexual assault, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

On Oct. 10, the Brooklyn Nine-Nine star -- and WME client -- tweeted that a "high level Hollywood executive" had groped his "privates" at a party last year. The incident occurred in view of Crews' wife.

"Jumping back, I said, 'What are you doing?!' He just grinned like a jerk," Crews wrote. He added that he told everyone he knew at the party who worked with Venit about what happened, and that Venit called the next day with an apology but not an explanation.

WME and Crews had no comment. Venit does not represent Crews. His clients include Adam Sandler, Diane Keaton, Eddie Murphy, Kevin James, Rob Lowe, Russell Brand, Shawn Levy, Steve Martin, Sylvester Stallone and Vince Vaughn -- as well as Brett Ratner and Dustin Hoffman, who are facing sexual misconduct allegations of their own.
