Terry Crews Was Not Having D.L. Hughley’s Mockery Of His Sexual Assault
You wouldn’t think Terry Crews would ever have to prove he’s the bigger man in any situation. I mean just look at the size of him! But he’s been doing it all the same, over and over again on Twitter by championing the cause of victims of sexual assault and tackling toxic masculinity head-on. I didn’t mean to make a sportsball reference, but since Terry used to play in the NFL, I’m going to let it stand. Ever since Terry filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against talent agent Adam Venit during the peak of the #metoo movement, some spectacularly ashy individuals have been coming at him from all directions, mocking him, and challenging his masculinity. And he’s fighting back.
Terry’s been popping off on motherfuckers on Twitter for some time now (in case you’re wondering why he’s been trending for a long ass minute). But it’s not just faceless trolls he’s having to school. Most recently, sD.L. Hughley (alternative spelling D.L. Who?ley) made several remarks about Terry’s assault in an interview he did with somebody named DJ Vlad.
Terry’s talked at length in the past about why knocking Adam out with a career ending punch (his, not Adam’s obviously) wasn’t a reasonable option for him. Terry #tooktotwitter to responded to the video, and D.L. directly in a thoughtful and measured way (you can watch the interview here if you hate yourself).
You saw the video!

Then things got a little spicy.
I have looked up to you my whole career as one of the funniest most talented people I’ve ever seen.
I remember when I saw you warming up the crowd at FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR and I thought “this man is a genius.”

You @50cent @unclerush and @tariqnasheed have decided my sexual assault was hilarious, whereas there are a whole generation of black women and men who don’t think it’s funny.
ABUSERS PROTECT ABUSERS but they MOCK SURVIVORS as well.
When you see me, keep it moving.

D.L. joins 7th billion runner-up for Father Of The Year (21 years running!) 50 Cent, tantric turtle (and accused sexual assaulter) Russell Simmons, and pick up artist Tariq Nasheed (author of such titles as The Art of Mackin’ and The Mack’ Within) in an asinine chorus of “why didn’t you just beat the shit out of the guy?”. Terry tied things up in a neat bow by posing a logical question that probably burned a hole through the top of D.L. ‘s goofy little Panama hat.
So sir…
If you truly feel that is a correct way to deal with toxic behavior…
Should I slap the shit out of you? https://t.co/GmePqluEIX

Since we haven’t heard any further response, I think it’s safe to assume D.L. is currently hiding out in a cave somewhere, wearing a too-short loin cloth, scratching his head while grunting inconsolably and chiseling out a logic flow chart on the wall trying to figure out how to answer this very simple question.
