WME executive put on leave following Terry Crews harassment allegations
In early October, Terry Crews came forward with allegations that a “high level” Hollywood executive sexually harassed him last year by walking up to him at an event and grabbing his genitals. Crews didn’t name the man in question, but Variety says that he has recently been preparing to confirm that it was Adam Venit, the head of talent agency WME’s motion pictures group—of which Crews is a client. Venit has reportedly been put on leave by WME now while it investigates the allegations, though neither he nor WME have commented on the situation just yet.
