He accuces Adam Venit (holywood agent).
Terry's one of my favorite actors and his voice will push this issue even further. Never let someone get away with shit, they're just gonna do it again if you don't stop them.
About an hour ago I was watching a different interview he did about this and I felt really bad because he was describing what happened to him, but he was doing it in Terry Crews style so he was very animated and boisterous and I couldn't resist laughing at certain points.

He has a really great way of speaking in that he doesn't get angry and upset or emotional, but is very honest with his feelings at the same time. His analogy to being a prisoner is accurate and scary and yet he's beaming with positivity the whole time. As long as you're sympathetic and support what he's saying, I feel like laughing isn't really that terrible because he's just a really funny guy - it isn't like you're not taking him seriously. He makes you less angry at the individual attacker, and moreso want to make a change to get Venit and others like him the consequences they rightfully deserve but power trip their way out of.

He's so endlessly selfless whenever he has something to say. He wants the best for everyone and it's inspirational.
How high or how sure of your power position do you have to be to try to grab the dick of someone of the posture of Terry. Like he could punch your head off your shoulders just as a reflex without thinking about it.
Also what the fucking hell about all those molestation accusations. Drain the swamp I guess?
I hope this pushes men's voices more.

What a powerful conversation, Terry's got a way with words. Hope people keep getting brought to light and pay for their actions.
The thing is he could've easily ripped that guy's head off too, but he had the support of his wife to help keep him calm, not only good to see him come out and talk about this openly but also that he had his family supporting him.

To be fair with Terry, he's admitted to this incident before, but it seems like he's now trying to be more of a voice for those who are sexually harassed or assaulted now that all these allegations are coming forward.
It means a lot coming from him because it shows not everyone is completely safe from sexual assault.

As much as I feel sorry for what happened to him I love what he's doing here. This coming from someone like him, shows nobody's safe and everyone can be vulnerable.
Good on him for coming forward. It has happened to me (a man) a few times at clubs by women and I don't think this is as uncommon as people think. Sad thing is that if I called them out people around me would probably just think I overreacted or was stupid. Same thing when women get physical with men.
I just want to give Terry a hug. No one should be treated like this.
Terry is such a good guy, it sucks that such a thing happened to him. Dude has a heart of gold, from his charity work to his personal home life of getting into PC gaming to connect with his kids, the guy has a lot to lose if he retaliated in a violent manner. It really gets me angry that he of all people would get targeted like that, clearly Adam either wanted him to swing, or was so fucking high he didn't give a shit. I'm sure other people at the party must have seen this but are staying quiet due to the power Adam has. So fucked up.
First off, who in their right mind would even attempt to mess with Terry Crews? As said above, he looks like he could rip you apart just by flexing his pecs.
Secondly, why mess with him in the first place? He is such a wonderful guy. I have NEVER heard anything negative about him. Such a sad situation for everyone, including him.

This is complete bullshit. Men are just as vulnerable to be sexually harassed, assaulted or objectified as much as women. I hate the argument so much when they say "Oh you will enjoy it if you were assaulted. Men are pervs and think that shit is hot."

I'm trying to find the part where he apologized, much less was forced to apologize, and I'm coming up empty. If anything if you read the Guardian interview (which your source conveniently fails to link) he doubles down on how uncomfortable it is to be objectified.

It looks like he stands firm on his stance regarding the objectification of men, but he backed off on his statement that it's "sexism" against men.

Especially because the entire thing is his opinion
Nobody should have to apologize for [I]FEELING[/I] objectified. It's fucking pathetic of "internet feminists", but, who's surprised, they're not actually feminists but closer to misandrists with a victim complex
