(CNN) - Former NFL star and actor Terry Crews said he was sexually assaulted by a Hollywood executive.
He tweeted on Tuesday that last year, a male film executive, who he didn't name, groped him at a Hollywood event.
Crews said he let it go due in part to a fear of losing his job.
He tweeted that sexual assault accusations against film executive Harvey Weinstein were giving him bad memories.
This whole thing with Harvey Weinstein is giving me PTSD. Why? Because this kind of thing happened to ME. (1/Cont.)
