The Hollywood scene can sometimes seem like a fairytale with all its glitz and glamour, but Terry Crews' daughter, Azriél Patricia Crews, recently shared a tale that sounds more like a cautionary horror story. Reflecting on her past, Azriél revealed an unsettling experience at a celebrity wedding when she was just 16. The story unfolded in a series of posts on Instagram, where she recounted the unnerving advances of a "creepy actor."
This wasn't just any wedding – it was a high-profile event filled with big names from Tinseltown. Azriél attended with her parents before her father, Terry Crews, achieved his major star status. One particular pre-wedding interaction left an impression. Her mother introduced her to this actor, clearly making it known she was just 16. "He was friendly at first," Azriél shared, "and I was actually really excited to meet him – at first."
"Let's get into it," Azriél said with a knowing smile, hinting at the discomfort to come without naming the actor.
Things quickly took a turn for the awkward. At the actual ceremony, Azriél noticed the actor conveniently slipping into the seat next to her in the unassigned seating arrangement. "Funny meeting you here," he said, playing innocent, but she knew it was no coincidence.
The reception, hosted at a luxurious estate, continued the encounter. As if fated, the actor was seated beside her again, this time with name cards conveniently placed next to each other. Azriél described the shocking moment when she felt him touch her arm, his knee pressing against hers as he whispered, "Are you enjoying yourself?" The young Crews was quick to exit the situation, heading straight to the bathroom where her mother joined her for a moment of solace.
Inside the bathroom, Azriél's mom was there to comfort her daughter. Holding hands, they prayed for the actor to leave them in peace, not wanting to cause a scene at the star-studded affair. Luckily, by the time they returned, the actor had disappeared from the event. "Was it an answer to prayer?" Azriél pondered. "Possibly."
Despite the unsettling encounter, Azriél chose not to reveal the actor's name but noted that he has been publicly disgraced multiple times since their interaction. This revelation comes as a poignant reminder of the challenges many in Hollywood face.
Interestingly, this isn't the first time the Crews family has had to deal with unwanted advances. Terry Crews himself, known for his roles in hit TV shows and movies, has spoken publicly about his experience with sexual harassment in Hollywood. In 2017, he shared his own story about being groped by a "high-level Hollywood executive," shining a light on the issues of power and influence in the industry.
