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
Plot of Apocalypse and first look at Cyclops, Jean Grey, Jubilee and Nightcrawler
Below is the plot of the new X-Men Apocalypse movie and shots of a young Cyclops, Jean Grey, Jubilee and Nightcrawler. Enjoy!
“As the new film opens, 10 years have passed and Raven (Lawrence), Charles (McAvoy), and Erik (Michael Fassbender) are still estranged, but not for much longer. The Big A awakens from his Egyptian tomb, sizes up the global ’80s vibe, and decides he’s not down with the Reagan era. “It’s a chaotic world of conflict and war and destruction,” Singer says. “It’s one giant civilization that now requires one giant culling. That’s why he needs special assistants in this process.” He finds teenage Storm living on the streets in Cairo, Angel (Ben Hardy) duking it out in a fight club in Berlin, and Psylocke (Olivia Munn) working behind the Iron Curtain for the mutant-broker Caliban. But his big get is Erik, who has been attempting to live a “normal” life in Poland. “He’s fallen in love and he’s basically left his metal ways behind,” Fassbender says. Pretty quickly, though, his world is shattered and “normal” is no longer an option. Says Fassbender, “Apocalypse finds Erik at a low ebb and recruits him.”
Miles away, meanwhile, Raven is on her own, helping rescue mutants who are oppressed or enslaved, including the teleport Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-McPhee). Raven knows nothing about Apocalypse, Lawrence says, but “she hears about what happened to Erik and she wants to seek him out and help him.” This instigates a reunion between Raven and Charles, who has seen his school for extraordinary students flourish. “He’s not teaching anybody how to fight at the moment,” McAvoy says. “He’s teaching people how to control their abilities so that they can work at a bank. But of course this movie challenges all of that.” When Apocalypse’s plot to reboot the world is made clear, the stage is set for an epic mutant vs. mutant war.”
Amandla Stenberg blasts Kylie Jenner
It seems like Kylie Jenner can’t stay out of the news at all right now. Seeing is how her boyfriend is being called out on sleeping with transgenders, now she’s being called out on cultural appropriation by Amandla Stenberg.
For those of you who don’t know who Stenberg is, she played the character Rue in The Hunger Games movie. When Kylie Jenner posted a picture of her in cornrows, Amandla had this to say and Kylie responded:
It appears Jenner seems to be unfazed by the comment. But I think Stenberg is right, it seems like a lot of people want that black hairstyles and physical features
but don’t want the problems that black people face. Let me know your opinions on the matter.
here is a pic of her and jaden during prom 2015.
Halle Berry wants to do a Solo Storm movie
With Wolverine about to get his 3rd solo movie and Gambit getting his first movie next year. It seems like Halle Berry wants to add Storm into the mix. Halle Berry has stated that she would love to do a solo Storm movie in the future, at least before she turns 65 she says.
My thoughts? While I would love a Storm solo movie I just don’t think Halle Berry would fit the role. A woman of African descent should play her seeing is how Storm is African.
I don’t know what’s Hollywood’s deal on casting lighter skinned women in these types of roles. The same could be said for Akexandra Shipp because I for one don’t know why she was cast as Storm for X-Men Apocalypse. Lupita Nyongo would’ve been perfect for this type of role but it seems like that’s just wishful thinking.
Let me know your opinions!
