LOS ANGELES, CA - November 09, 2017: Terry Crews at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation's Patron of the Artists Awards at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts/ LOS ANGELES - JAN 13: D. L. Hughley at the NBCUniversal TCA Press Day Winter 2016 at the Langham Huntington Hotel on January 13, 2016 in Pasadena, CA
Black men, according to the actor, have been less understanding. Crews recently took issue with comedian D.L. Hughley’s assertion that the former athlete is too strong to allow a man to touch him inappropriately.
“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 it,” Hughley said during an interview with VladTV. “I think that now everybody’s so into this notion that everybody’s like, ‘It happened to me, too.’ Aye motherf*cka, God gave you muscles so you can say, ‘No,’ and mean it.”
Crews responded to the clip, asking Hughley what he was truly implying, with the Contrarian comic responding, “You saw the video!”
The two then went back and forth over whether Crews should have been more aggressive in defending himself, with the Brooklyn Nine-Nine actor asking the stand-up should he “slap the sh*t” out of him if he really believes that’s the way to address toxic behavior.
But now you are an example of when comedy turns to sarcasm and cynicism. And you find it extremely easy to get jokes at someone else expense. You mock my success, but all I ever did was support you.
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.
