Since telling his story, Crews has been one of the most prominent voices in the #MeToo Movement, which allows men and women to come forward about their instances of sexual assault. Earlier this year, he spoke about rape culture in Hollywood.

"People don’t understand that Hollywood is a very violent place,” he said in an interview. "The best way to put it is that it’s like a plantation. You use extreme violence. You see a lot of people who never work again. For even speaking up the whole thing is that they cut your head off so that the next person doesn’t speak."
