Terry Crews Pulls Plug On SURVIVING R. KELLY Participant Touré Amid Sexual Harassment Drama

Terry Crews

Hollywood actor Terry Crews isn’t giving music journalist Touré the time or day. The popular actor publicly nixed plans to get interviewed by the Surviving. R. Kelly participant amid workplace sexual harassment accusations.

This week, Terry jumped on Twitter to publicly announce a cancelled Q&A with Touré.

This week, rap star 50 Cent acknowledged the reporter’s current media nightmare.

Wow-wow. #50Cent #Toure #RKelly #SurvivingRKelly

A post shared by SOHH (@sohhdotcom) on

A few days ago, a woman came forward to accuse Touré of multiple past workplace sexual harassment encounters.

In the post, a make-up artist, who goes by the name ‘Dani,’ alleged that Touré sexually harassed her while she worked with him on a show, saying, “He couldn’t stop asking me to do anal, how I looked naked, if I had sex over the weekend, what it would be like to f–k me.” Dani then states that she would make sure to have crew members in the room with her while she got him ready for the People/Entertainment Weekly show. Eventually, Dani quit but allegedly reported Touré to human resources and according to her account, he was immediately fired. (ESSENCE)

The woman also came forward and provided details on their past working relationship.

“I worked with him most of 2017, I left in October, before he left,” she claims. After Dani quit, she says she reported Toure´ to human resources. He left Time after that; according to his rep because his agreement was over. … He went on [radio station] Hot 97 to talk about Harvey Weinstein (after he apologized). I accepted his apology and was ok to move on but, you can’t be a sexual predator and go around shaming other predators.” (ESSENCE)

Touré Accused of Sexual Harassment Amid ‘Surviving R. Kelly’ Premiere

Touré, the veteran journalist and one of many participants in the Surviving R. Kelly docuseries, was accused of sexual harassment.

A makeup artist named Dani alleged that he repeatedly made inappropriate comments and asked her sexual questions.

Mouse Jones promoted an upcoming episode of The Clubhouse featuring Touré and Jamilah Lemieux. Dani commented:

Every Monday I used to work with him on a show in 2017 and he couldn’t stop asking me to do anal, how I looked naked, if I had sex over the weekend, what it would be like to fuck me, what his cum would look like on my face…. I had to have the crew stay in the room [with] me while I got him ready…. And when I left I called HR…. He got fired instantly. He wrote me a huge apology for doing that in my DMs. Still have it. He did a “20/20” shoot in 2018, and I was there, and he walked out. Told the producer that he was “embarrassed [because] he was inappropriate with a staff member.” He really needs to take a seat.

A representative for the journalist sent the following statement to Essence: “On the show, our team, including myself, engaged in edgy, crass banter, that at the time I did not think was offensive for our tight-knit group. I am sorry for my language and for making her feel uncomfortable in any way. As a lead on the show, I should have refrained from this behavior. I have learned and grown from this experience.”

Touré is the reporter behind the infamous 2008 interview with R. Kelly after he got acquitted for child pornography charges. He asked the singer “Do you like teenage girls?” to which Kelly responded, “When you say teenage, how old are we talking?”

A make-up artist, who goes by the name ‘Dani,’ alleged that Touré sexually harassed her while she worked with him on a show. Dani went into details alleging that, “He couldn’t stop asking me to do anal, how I looked naked, if I had sex over the weekend, what it would be like to f–k me.”
