Terrence Howard’s Ex-Wife Is Suing Him in Assault and Defamation Claim
Hey ya’ll got some HOT Tea about our baby Daddy Terrence Howard AKA Lucious Lyons #TEAMLUCIOUS BEFORE I GET STARTED I DO NOT CONDONE ABUSE BY A MAN, WOMAN OR TEENAGER; TWEEN. Anyway me and my Homeboy Kermit and I was sippin’ our Ice Tea really slowly while we was reading about Terrence Howard’s messy divorces from his first wife and his current ex wife Michelle Howard (most of this I already knew just needed to refresh my memory) Come to find out in 2001 he was charged with assaulting his then first wife she states that he hit, beat; choked her they divorced in 2003. Fast forward 2015 in a civil lawsuit filed by Michelle Howard claims that her then husband Terrence Howard assaulted her while staying in a rental home in Costa Rica by punching her in the face then grabbed her by the neck; pushed her against the bathroom wall. She also alleges that he told her that he could kill her at any time if she tried to get away.
I guess the altercation continued; she tried to pepper spray him to shield herself from his punches. She’s also suing for emotional distress. As a consequence Howard is suing his current ex wife Michelle for defamation of character.
Now as me and Kermit finished reading we looked each other; said they BOTH probably were hitting, pinching; slapping each other his wife now ex-wife just MAY be trying to get paid. Not all men are the guilty ones she could have been the abuser and he was defending himself. It is a FACT we DON’T eat, sleep (I wish I did) and live with this man I’m NOT saying he’s a saint nor am I idealizing him but I will write that this scandal is not going to stop me from watching Empire and it’s not going to stop me from respecting him as an artist and believe me when producers hired him they already knew his background and they must not care because right now he’s making them much money. Why do we as a Society have to know every detail about the celebrities lives is it really our business?
Why do we invest so much time defending someone we don’t even know are we connecting ourselves with the character that they play or played? It seems that way with Mr. Pudding Pop Bill Cosby. Remember she could be lying, he could be lying we don’t know because we don’t live with them 24 hours seven days a week. Women can be just as abusive as men why should the women be the victim and the men not? We must take this actor named Terrence Howard and not put him on a pedestal HE IS HUMAN just like any other black man in the street. IMO (in my humble opinion) I do believe his ex wife is just using Howard’s success on Empire as an excuse to get paid. On a happier note #TEAMANDRE Andre Lyons AKA Trai Bayers & Anika Calhoun #TEAMANIKA Grace Gealey are engaged to be married! I never would have guess these two would hook up on the down low off set of Empire from the pics I see they seem very happy and in love!! Me and Kermit will see you next Thursday for more Empire News and anything in between!! Empire returns September 23rd on FOX! Are you ready to play in the Lyon’s Den? I KNOW I AM!!#TEAMCOOKIE
