Yikes. Terrence Howard headed to court on Aug. 11 to try to overturn a nasty 2012 divorce settlement with his ex-wife, Michelle Ghent. A witness on behalf of the ‘Empire’ actor claims that he only signed the documents because his ex allegedly threatened to leak a threesome sex tape!
The drama continues between Terrence Howard, 46, and ex-wife, Michelle Ghent. The Oscar-nominated actor only agreed to a 2012 divorce settlement with Michelle because he feared that she would leak embarrassing details about his sex life, Terrence’s attorney revealed at a hearing on Aug. 11. However, Michelle’s lawyers are reportedly denying the claim!
Terrence’s sister-in-law, Yvonne Howard, testified on his behalf in a Los Angeles court hearing, claiming that Michelle said she “had him [Terrence] by the balls,” according to TMZ. So what exactly was she holding over his head? Well, she allegedly has a sex tape of Terrence having sex with a woman while with another woman who was watching and filming them. Michelle was using this information to her benefit, by blackmailing him with the tape in order to receive more money. The outlet reports that she got $5,800 a month for three years, despite only being married for one year.
Terrence’s attorney, Brian Kramer, said that he would play an audio recording of Michelle’s threats in order to show her “heavy-handed acts of extortion and blackmail,” according to CBS. Michelle’s lawyers said she denied the allegations during a deposition.Terrence and Michelle married in 2010, and she filed for a divorce one year later. This isn’t the only drama between the exes. Michelle also filed a civil complaint against him in July 2015, claiming that he beat her up while on a trip to Costa Rica in 2013. She claims that he punched and strangled her, while threatening to kill her.
Terrence recently welcomed a baby boy with his current wife, Miranda.
