Now, despite being called out by social media users and celebrities who felt like he was trolling again, Crews stayed silent and did not address his controversial tweet until now.
Earlier this Friday morning, the once-beloved actor explained himself to his 1.7 million followers on Twitter. He said:
“My tweet yesterday however well-intentioned, was ill-timed. I pray for the many women trapped and trafficked in the life of the sex industry and see no way out. I want them to know they are not product to be used, but People to be loved.” He added,
“I also pray for the swift recovery of Jacob Blake, and can find no justification for shooting a man 7 times in the back in front of his children. The trauma of witnessing what happened to their father is devastating, and I want justice for the him and his family.”
As we previously reported, Blake, 29, was shot multiple times by a Kenosha police officer after trying to break up a fight. Blake’s father told news outlets that his son is now paralyzed from the waist down following the tragic incident. All three cops involved have been put on administrative leave pending an investigation.
