Terry Crews is not happy with DL Hughly for making fun of his sexual assault.
Terry Crews, last year, shared a story about being sexually assaulted by his agent. Since, then, his story has gotten a mixed reaction from both celebrities and fans. One side is calling him brave for standing up for himself and speaking out about sexual assault. The other side, however, is mocking him for “not being enough of a man” to physically fight his assaulter. In particular, DL Hughley had some words to say about Crews’s assault. In an interview in August of 2018 Hughley said:
“I think it’s hard for me to think that a dude with all those muscles can’t tell an agent to not touch his ass. I don’t understand, I think that now everybody’s so into this notion that, ‘It happened too.’ Hey, motherfucker, God gave you muscles so you could say no and mean it.”

Recently, this video resurfaced, which prompted Terry Crews to confront Hughley on twitter.
You told the world “God Gave Me Muscles So I Could Say No…”
Are you implying I “wanted” to be sexually assaulted?
I’m listening, sir…https://t.co/v6Q4xrvfJQ

Hughley then retaliated with a tweet back.
You saw the video!

From there, the two comedians got into it.
Sir you said I should have pushed him back, or restrained him and I DID ALL THOSE THINGS… but you act like I didn’t.
Were you there?

That’s different than slapping the shit outa him

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

DL Hughley is not the first man to mock Terry Crews for coming out about his assault. Russell Simmons and 50 Cent have also made fun of Crews. In addition to these posts, Crews had something to say to all the men who attacked him for coming out.
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.
