    Terry Crews' daughter Azriél was "hit on by a creepy actor" when she was just 16 years old

    The Brooklyn Nine-Nine star and his family were attending a "star-studded" celebrity wedding when she met an unnamed actor who made her increasingly uncomfortable.


    In a series of Instagram videos, Azriél, now 35, recalled: "It was actually a week-long event, and it included a pre-wedding yacht party. That is where I first met this actor.

    "My mom introduced me to him as her 16-year-old, so he was well aware of my age."

    Azriél - who was a fan of the actor's work and enjoyed talking to him that day - admitted things changed on the day of the wedding.

    She continued: "We arrived at the ceremony, and we found some seats, which were unassigned.

    "But then, as if on cue, creepy actor slides into the seat next to me, and he says, 'Funny meeting you here' as if he didn't intentionally choose that seat."

    From there, the guests all travelled to the reception, where the dinner did have assigned seats, which saw Azriél sat on a table with her parents and "one of the most famous and stunning actresses of that time".

    However, she said: "Who sits next to me, but the f****** creepy actor. Somehow, his name is on the place card next to mine, which... coincidence, I'll never know."

    She tried to ignore him as he spoke to h er parents, but she felt his "hand caress the back of [her] arm".

    She added: "So, I turn to him, and he's smiling at me, creepily, and he says, 'Are you enjoying yourself?' "

    Azriél said she was, and he told her not to "act too civilised", with their knees touching under the table, which prompted her to escape to the bathroom with her mother, Rebecca King-Crew, who quickly believed her as she opened up about the uncomfortable interactions.

    She said: "We prayed that he would leave us alone because we didn't want to have to tell my father and cause a scene at this big, star-studded event.

    "And when we got back to the table, miraculously, he was gone."

    She didn't see the actor again, and she couldn't decide if their prayers were truly answered, or if he just realised his behaviour was inappropriate.

    Meanwhile, Azriél admitted she was in two minds about sharing her "juicy" story so publicly, but felt that it "perfectly encapsulates" her teenage years.

    She concluded: "It is one of those stories that perfectly encapsulates what my life was like at this time.

    "Sometimes I was the celebrity kid at a black tie wedding, and in my daily life, I was just a normal Christian girl who had never been kissed."
