In a video series called “Dirty Little Secret”, Terry Crews shared the reason he went to rehab.
Crews revealed to fans via Facebook that he struggled with a porn addiction, which began at age of 12. “It really, really messed up my life in a lot of ways” he admits.
The addiction almost ruined his marriage, with the star spilling that he felt entitled to sex, that it made him feel as if his wife owed it to him. “My wife was literally like, ‘I don’t know you anymore. I’m out of here.” Eventually, he realized that he needed help.

“Some people say ‘Hey man, you can’t be really addicted to pornography.’ If day turns into night and you are still watching you probably got a problem.”
The Brooklyn Nine-Nine actor began seeking a therapist and went on a 90-day sex fast, which led to a stronger relationship with his wife. “I found at the end of that 90 days, I was more in love, more turned on. I knew who she was.”
Crews called for more men to open up about their problems and hold themselves accountable and so far fans have been incredibly supportive.
It’s always encouraging to see a celebrity open about their experiences with addiction because it can have a positive affect on those who suffer from similar afflictions.
