- The drama between Terrence Howard and ex-wife Michelle Ghent continues.
- According to docs obtained by E! News, the 46-year-old actor's former spouse is suing the Empire star for assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress as well as defamation, claiming Howard assaulted her during a trip to Costa Rica in 2013.
The complaint alleges that Howard committed "assault and battery" on his ex-wife on the evening of July 29, 2013 and claims that he "followed Plaintiff into the restroom of the rental house and punched her on the left side of her face.
- "Defendant also grabbed Plaintiff by her neck and pushed her against the bathroom wall and strangled her for several seconds," the complaint alleges.
- The filing also claims that Howard "grabbed her neck again and pinned her against the shower glass and her head hit the wall" before Howard's son Billy rushed to the room and tried to restrain him.
- "While Billy tried to pry Defendant's hands from Plaintiff's neck, Defendant whispered to Plaintiff, 'Remember what I told you in Bora Bora? That is what I'm gonna do,' referring to a prior instance where Defendant told Plaintiff that her body would never leave the island," the complaint states.
- "Plaintiff interpreted the reference to mean that Defendant was going to kill her."
- Later that evening, per the complaint, Howard attempted to assault Ghent again, at which point she pepper-sprayed him in the face. "Defendant continued swinging his arms and caused Plaintiff to fall down. While Plaintiff was on the ground, Defendant repeatedly mule-kicked Plaintiff in the head and shoulders," states the complaint.
The filing also alleges that Ghent suffered from multiple contusions and swelling as a result of the alleged battery in addition to bruises all over her body.
With regards to the defamation filing, the docs accuse Howard of making "false accusations disseminated to the public through the media that Plaintiff had made death threats and other threats against Defendant and his family through various social media accounts. These accusations are false, and none of the social media accounts below to the Plaintiff."
Howard has yet to respond to E! News' request for comment.
This isn't the first time that Ghent has accused Howard of being physically abusive.She previously filed a restraining order against the actor back in December 2011, claiming Howard routinely abused her and threatened to kill her. She secured a temporary restraining order in 2013, citing the Costa Rica incident in court docs.
Howard, whose third wife Mira recently gave birth to the actor's fourth child, does have a history of violence. He was arrested in 2001 on charges that he attacked his then-wife, Lori McCommas. He later pleaded guilty to disturbing the peace, and the couple divorced.

Violent men!
ReplyDeleteShut up! Did you here both side of the story. Some Women just like wallowing in self pity. Mtsw
DeleteHear. Sides
DeleteG-pharm, you sef, STFU!
Delete@G-Pharm, please don't wallow in ignorance. Make Google your friend. He has been married three times and ALL three women have said he has physically abused them!
DeleteThere's never any excuse for domestic violence; Terence Howard is a violent bully, end of!!
G-pharm, way to go on defending domestic voilence. What side do you want to Hear again? He's been sued by 2 out of his 3wives, even his little son had to get involved at some point. A restraining order was filed against him in 2011. He married his 1st wife in 1989, attacked her in 2001 and even plead guilty to disturbing the peace. Voilence and charges of violence seem to continously follow his marriages and he's the ONE common denominator in each case, yet you're trying to defend him. Seriously?! He's first wife charged him in 2001 before divorcing, his second wife filed charges for the 1st time in 2011 and then 2013. This new wife is still fresh, it seems to take about 3 to 10 years to either show them his true colour/ for them to finally have had enough. It's becoming a trend with him and you're here saying you need his side. People like you will look for ANY excuse to defend, condone and encourage domestic violence. It's just not right and it's disgusting!!!......... Just Me
DeleteThanks beautiful people for the constructive criticism. I'll make Google my boo next time. XoXo
DeleteHis first wife really tried to work things out with him and got back with him after divorcing him the 1st time but he still didn't change so she had to let go. Would he marry her again if her previous accusations were false? He's violent and thinks it's ok. He's attacked several females and not just his wives through the years. Typical abuser! Here's something about him and his record of violence, specially for you G-pharm. here's the other side you're looking for, his police reports are available out there to research if you're still in doubt!,
DeleteAllegations of domestic violence
In February 2009, it was reported on The Smoking Gun that Howard was arrested in 2001 for a variety of charges related to a violent attack on his estranged first wife, including simple assault, terrorist threats, harassment and stalking. According to police reports, he arrived at her house after an argument on the phone, forced entry into her home by breaking in doors, and chased her into the backyard where he punched her twice in the face with a closed fist. The violent attack ended when Howard's brother stopped it. In 2002, he pleaded guilty to disturbing the peace.[28]
These issues came to light after he reportedly downplayed singer Chris Brown's 2009 arrest for attacking his girlfriend Rihanna. When Howard was asked about the allegations of domestic violence against Brown, he told a reporter from Hollywood.TV "It's just life, man. Chris is a great guy. He'll be all right, and Rihanna knows he loves her, you know? They'll be all right."[29]
According to The Smoking Gun, Howard was also arrested for assaulting a Continental Airlines flight attendant after refusing her request to return to his seat because the seat belt sign was on.[30]
According to Philadelphia magazine, Howard punched a woman in a Pennsylvania diner in 2005 and was charged with simple assault and harassment. Those charges were later withdrawn, and Howard pled guilty to disorderly conduct.
On Dec. 5, 2011, a judge granted Howard's then-wife Michelle Ghent a restraining order based on her claims that Howard had caused her physical injuries that required medical attention, once broke her computer in half, repeatedly threatened her, and stalked her by telephone and on the Internet.[31]
In 2012, an ex-girlfriend of Howard accused him of punching and kicking her at his home. No charges were filed against Howard, but charges were filed against the ex-girlfriend. These charges were later withdrawn, and according to a lawsuit filed in Philadelphia, Howard paid the woman $75,000 to sign a non-disclosure agreement about the incident at his home.
In August 2013, Howard's second wife, Michelle Ghent, obtained a second restraining order against him after showing up in court with a black eye she says he gave her. Howard has denied hitting her

***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
Whether it was 2013 or yesterday, he still did it and should be punished. His past records speak for itself too. He's been beating women for the last 20+ years according to police records. If his punishment is to pay money, let him pay!!
Deleteunbelievable!! Luscious Lyon,a woman beater?
ReplyDeleteWoman beater hmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteMost of his movies are like that
Omg! They re not what they act at all. So sad "all that glitters isn't gold"!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I really love this man...... he is a good actor
ReplyDeleteI remember, when these two got married. I was happy for them. I was like ehya, nice for them. God when will my turn come.
ReplyDeleteNot knowing few years down the line, they will be divorcing and allegations of abuse.
This just a reminder to all those bitter married women not to torment single girls. Never know what's going on in someones marriage. they look all dapper and cute but only God knows the trials.
Lord heal both parties.
In Jesus Name. Amen.
