Crews is a popular actor, whose acting style is appreciated in the movie industry and among fans. However, there is one thing about the actor that most of his fans know, which is he keeps his personal life private.

Aside from family photos that he seldom posts on social media, Crews makes sure to keep personal details about members of his family away from the public.

Nevertheless, the actor has opened up about some of the issues he faced while growing up and during his marriage that almost made him a divorcee.

During the #MeToo movement that initially began in 2006, Crews opened up on how he was allegedly molested by his WME agent, Adam Venit. He explained this sad event, saying that in 2016, he was at a party, when the agent walked up to him and fondled his genitals. 

The former music talent host also demanded that the agent be accountable for his actions after slamming Venit and the agency he represents with a lawsuit. 

"I've been involved in some of the most competitive and toxic environments you could probably ever be in," the "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" actor said.

The "Everybody Hates Chris" actor has been candid from the get-go about his addiction to pornography and how it almost ruined his lovely marriage. 

In several interviews, the 52-year-old said that this addiction started before he even became a teenager, and as the fame swept in it became worse.

Furthermore, he said that the only mistake he ever made, was that he did not ask for help from anyone, including his wife. Even when he felt like he could not do without porn, he still remained silent and that ate through his life and marriage without his knowledge.

Crews uses his experience with his addiction to help other people out there who are finding it difficult to stop whatever they're addicted to. He said that the first step to healing, is to speak out and ask for help.

Crews and Rebecca revealed that they got the idea to publish an audiobook about their marital issues from a conference in Vietnam. 

The memoir details how the couple used therapy, truth and counselling to overcome their challenges and repair their marriage before it was too late. The book is also dedicated to people out there who are facing similar problems.
