In a series of videos posted to his Facebook page called “Dirty Little Secrets,” actor Terry Crews is opening up about the porn addiction that put him in rehab.
“For years, years, years, my dirty little secret was that I was addicted to pornography,” he said in the first of the videos.
“It really, really messed up my life in a lot of ways,” he added.

Crews explained over the course of the videos that the addiction had begun at age 12 and eventually caught up with him when it threatened his marriage. He had been consuming porn secretly, and not even his wife, Rebecca King-Crews, knew, but it was still affecting his actions and his way of thinking.
“I had the biggest sense of entitlement ever. I felt the world owed me something. I felt like my wife owed me sex,” he said.
He said he had a wake up call when his wife threatened to leave.

“I had to change because I realized, yo, this thing is a major, major problem. I literally had to go to rehab for it,” he said. He later added, “I didn’t get help to get my wife back. I got help because I needed it.”
Now, Crews wants to help other people who might be struggling with an addiction that some people don’t even believe exists.

“Some people say ‘Hey man, you can’t be really addicted to pornography,” he said. “If day turns into night and you are still watching you probably got a problem.”
“I’m calling on men to be more accountable. There’s a lot of men out there blaming their wives for this,” he later added.
