Adam Venit on Leave From William Morris Endeavor as the Agency Looks Into Terry Crews’ Sexual Harassment Claims

Adam Venit is on leave from William Morris Endeavor while the agency looks into a sexual-harassment allegation made by Terry Crews. In the initial wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal, Crews opened up on Twitter about having been groped by a “high level Hollywood executive” at a function last year; though the actor didn’t name names, a Variety report suggests that Venit may have been involved.

Venit serves as the head of WME’s motion-picture group, which represents such high-profile clients as Emma Stone, Brett Ratner, Adam Sandler, and Eddie Murphy, among others.

“Jumping back I said What are you doing?!” Crews tweeted about the alleged incident. “My wife saw everything n we looked at him like he was crazy. He just grinned like a jerk.” He continued, “I let it go. And I understand why many women who this happens to let it go. Who’s going 2 believe you? ( few) What r the repercussions?(many) Do u want 2 work again? (Yes) R you prepared 2b ostracized?(No).” Crews is among WME’s clients.
