Terry Crews would pick fights with his wife to hide his pornography addiction.
The 54-year-old actor/TV star has opened up about how his issues affected his marriage to Rebecca King-Crews – revealing the atmosphere at home was “horrible” because he would often sneak off to watch X-rated material and then start arguments in a bid to cover his tracks.
Speaking on the âArmchair Expertâ podcast, he explained: âMy wife man, I tell her: âHow did you put up with me?â⊠You try to be normal and nice, but I would be angry, I would go off ⊠I was addicted to pornography âŠ
âIt was a secret, I would die before anybody knew ⊠I would lie straight out and that also started guilt. So I was walking around a human pile of guilt. alAnd so my wife would go: âWhere were you?â And I would go: âWhat do you mean where was I? Why are you always checking where I am?â ⊠Iâd start an argument so she wouldnât ask more questions. Poor woman ⊠It was horrible.â
Terry admitted he also took out his anger on the coupleâs five children, adding: âMy kids, I would be angry with them for getting in the way.â
During the chat, Terry revealed his addiction started when he was a child after accidentally finding his uncleâs porn stash and he added his natural curiosity about sex came out in a negative way because he couldnât talk to his deeply religious parents about his feelings.
Terry went on to insist he doesnât think porn should be banned, but heâs convinced people need to talk more openly about it to avoid it becoming a dirty secret.
