Terrence Howard‘s wife, Michelle Ghent Howard, filed for divorce in January 2011 and these are the reasons (Cue the music):
Whoop That Trick by DJay
A rep for the star confirmed to The Daily Beast that the 42-year-old actor’s wife has filed for divorce from him and we can tell you why!
Looks like DJay was hiding his domestic violence history, uh, erm, how he likes to whoop his women’s arses! While he was threatening that behind, she was calling him all types of N words, monkeys and things! Oh my, this is scandalous, but there’s more!!! Michelle was being messy and sticking her nose where it didn’t belong, meddling in his family business and looking at his personal info. She also accused Terrence of recording past girlfriends’ conversations, so if you’ve dealt with Terrence Howard romantically, you just might be on tape or CAMERA! SNAP! Continuing…Michelle accuses Terrence of trying to throw her over a South African balcony and busting her tooth! She is accused of throwing his clothes over that same balcony while he called the SAPS!
Aaaannnnnd there’s more: Allegedly, Terrence asks Michelle to STAB him, yes STAB him after a heated text message argument! Say what?!!! Also, he supposedly broke her computer in half and threatened to whoop her again just before her hysterectomy (Ok, we know, too much info)!!! Let’s wrap this crazy crap up! Michelle hacked into Terrence’s email, he snapped about some voicemail (We know y’all remember that), Michelle tried to extort DJay for money and he sent her THIS email:
“If you wanted, you could crush me with the push of a button. I have no recourse, I have pleaded with Jehovah to fortify my heart that I do not fall into angry and revengeful retaliation against my forsaken love. I ask that you allow time for me to be more solid in my faith before you carry out what you feel you must, so that I may take the discipline and not resort to retaliation and reviling for reviling. I am in complete acceptance of my sentence and the charges. Its [sic] funny how clearly things become when your sober. I am struggling at present to remain true to a newly dedicated state of mind and way. I am being frightened by the ugly that can happen as a result of loosing [sic] everything and your wife to your one time friend, but I am prayful [sic]. I don’t want to harbor hate and resentment in my heart especially against someone that I love. I sincerely regret my actions and I pray that you use wisdom in dispensing the discipline that I have coming. Remember, I am newly reconciled to being a servant of Jehovah. Satan is taunting me and there is no rest for my mind. So I beg you not to exercise the right that you have, divorce me and do what you wish but do not crush my families [sic] already threatened livelihood. I can’t promise how I will respond. In Jesus’ name I am praying.”
…and FINALLY she got a restraining order against him. This is seriously sad. Actually, we don’t know who’s good/who’s bad, who’s happy/who’s sad and who’s telling the truth/who’s playing us for a fool.
Terrence’s first and second wife is Lori McCommas and he’s been in relationships with Dayanara Torres and Zulay Henao.
