Terry Crews,52 a Holywood actor and comedian has disclosed how his addiction to porn almost ended his marriage to his wife of 30 years, Rebecca Crews, 55. Speaking ahead of the release of his new audiobook, Stronger Together<\/em>, which Crews co-wrote with his wife, The movie star also opened up about being unfaithful to his wife.<\/p>\n

In one of his interviews in the past, Terry had disclosed that his porn addiction continued for decades. Even after he got married and had children, he still managed to keep his porn habit going in secret.<\/p>\n

The actor says being a Hollywood star made it worse. Terry confessed to being influenced by those around him, amid all of his success in business and his career.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuccess is the warmest place to hide. I had so many people telling me I was great and it was no problem. And you know what? Hollywood didn\u2019t care. It still doesn\u2019t care if you lose your family; it happens every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo fame just made it worse,\u201d said Rebecca. \u201cAnd it\u2019s really true that power and success amplifies what\u2019s already going on inside you, and that is why I couldn\u2019t help him. And I\u2019m thankful and I am lucky that he made the choice to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Everybody Hates Chris star said his actions got so bad that his wife told him not to come home.<\/p>\n

Devastated by the consequences of his actions, Terry experienced a turning point in his life when a good friend gave him the best piece of advice in his life.\"\"<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cTerry, you need to get better for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cYou know, you work hard to get money. You do these things to get sex. But to actually improve just for yourself,\u00a0 that was foreign thought. It was like, wait a minute, I actually need to be a better person for myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

After that, Terry did the work.<\/p>\n

During the interview, a woman asked Rebecca how their relationship survived during the hardships.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not one to talk about my struggles while I\u2019m in them,\u2019 Rebecca explained. I\u2019m not going to Instagram you from the middle of my battle, but I will talk about it when I come to the other side.”<\/p>\n

The couple attribute Terry\u2019s road to recovery to therapy and counseling, which he admitted was sort of a taboo growing up in Flint, Michigan.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was like, \u201cThis is crazy; this is not me\u2026 and all of a sudden I realized it is me,\u201d he said of his acceptance of his troubles that led him to therapy.<\/p>\n

After that, he went on an apology tour, where he sat a number of people in his life down, including his kids.\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe reason why we wrote this book was the fact that I know I can\u2019t be alone. I can\u2019t be the only guy who went through this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Terry went on to share that,” one perspective is not enough on something like this; two perspectives, especially a husband and wife, gives a 3-D view and really opens this thing up really, really, wide. This is the reason the couple wrote it together.”<\/p>\n

They ended by explaining that the book may not be for everybody, but for some, it just may be the perfect story to hear.<\/p>\n
