"Terry Crews has filed a lawsuit against WME agent Adam Venit accusing him of groping his genitals at a Hollywood party last year.

Last week, WME completed an investigation into Venit’s conduct and stripped him of his position as head of the agency’s motion picture group. The agency has kept him as an agent. Venit’s clients include Dustin Hoffman, Diane Keaton, and Adam Sandler.

“He’s basically staring at me and he’s sticking his tongue out and, you know, it’s overtly sexual kind of tongue move… it’s a party. It’s packed… I’m looking, is this a joke? I don’t understand. It was actually so bizarre,” Crews said.

“He keeps coming over to me. He comes over to me, I stick my hand out and he takes his hand and puts it and squeezes my genitals and I jump back like hey, hey and he’s like — he still is sticking his tongue out and all this stuff.”

According to the lawsuit, which was first reported by TMZ, Crews pushed Venit away after the assault and turned to Adam Sandler, who was Venit’s client. “Adam, come get your boy!” he yelled. “He’s grabbing my nuts.”
