The Hollywood honcho accused of groping actor Terry Crews during a party last year has been identified as agent Adam Venit, according to reports.
Venit, who is the head of the motion pictures department at talent agency William Morris Endeavor, has been placed on a leave of absence pending an investigation into Crews' account, the Hollywood Reporter confirmed.
Venit represents A-list celebrities Diane Keaton, Emma Stone, Eddie Murphy and Sylvester Stallone, along with Brett Ratner and Dustin Hoffman, who have also faced accusations of sexual misconduct.
Days after the allegations against Harvey Weinstein first broke, the "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" actor shared that the emerging reports were traumatizing.
"Why? Because this kind of thing happened to ME," Crews wrote, before he went on to describe how a "high level Hollywood executive" groped his "privates" during a party.
"Jumping back I said What are you doing?! My wife saw everything n we looked at him like he was crazy. He just grinned like a jerk," Crews tweeted.
"He called me the next day with an apology but never really explained why he did what he did," according to Crews.
Venit, who started his career at Creative Artists Agency, brokered major deals, including Gal Gadot in the Wonder Woman sequel, along with Stallone and Michael B. Jordon in Creed 2.
While Crews is also represented by WME, Venit is not his agent.
