The other troubling thing about his behaviour toward Union was that he clearly didn’t understand how a space could be safe for him but not for people with less privilege or different intersections.Īnd then there’s the part where he didn’t (and still doesn’t) seem to care about the widespread impact of his words. As Wear Your Voice pointed out at the time, “it was Black women and LGBTQ+ folks who most consistently and tirelessly stood up for him, and it was this same community who so gingerly tried to call him in about his problematic comments, only to be ignored even while he continued to declare his support for us.” In March 2019, he tweeted that children who are raised without both maternal and paternal love are “severely malnourished.” When Black women and LGBTQ+ people tried to explain the problems with that perspective, he didn’t listen. It was another reminder that while Black women had been there for him, he didn’t exactly respect them in return. This was disappointing on a number of levels: Union was very supportive of Crews when he spoke out about his assault, so it wasn’t great to see that he felt zero obligation to support her-or even just to refrain from actively discrediting her. That was never my experience on America's Got Talent." He went on the say the show was “the most diverse place ever been in 20 years of entertainment.” “Stronger Together” will be exclusively available on Audible on April 15.When Gabrielle Union was fired from America’s Got Talent, reportedly because she called out sexism and racism on set, Crews’ response was to praise the show, saying, “I can't speak for sexism, because I'm not a woman… But I can speak on behalf of any racism comments. I would think, ‘Who can replace her? No one can ever replace the things we’ve been through.’ And what I’m thankful for is our relationship never reached the point of no return because that’s the real deal,” he said. “One thing that blows me away is that Rebecca knew me when I was broke, McDonald’s style,” he told us. Now he says that another of the reasons their marriage survived is that Rebecca knew him before he became famous. Terry told us they met when he was 19 and married right before he turned 21, several years before his career as an NFL player began in 1991 and two decades before his acting career took off. They’ve now been married for 32 years and share 5 children. Terry, 52, and Rebecca, 55, say in the book that they rescued their marriage after Terry promised he would attend therapy and go to rehab for his addiction.
“All that other stuff is a trick,” he said, comparing it to Instagram users who project a perfect life on their account when in reality, “there’s nothing there and it’s all fake.”
“There are certain people in my life who are always jealous of our relationship who may have not realized it,” he said, adding that when the pair were on the brink of divorce, “They would say, ‘Oh now you’re free… you can roll out,’ and I’m like, ‘Wait a minute - but you ain’t got nobody.’ And you start to realize, ‘Wait a minute - it’s better at home’.” They document the battle to save their marriage in a new Audible Original, “Stronger Together.” But Terry tells Page Six that it survived partly because he blocked out the opinions of single pals who encouraged him to walk away.
