Terrence Howard Says His Wife is Ruining His Career

Oh, Terrence. There are some people who are always looking for someone else to blame for their problems; Terrence Howard appears to be one of them. Since his wife filed a restraining order against him in December, claiming that he constantly beats her up and threatens her, Terrence says his career has gone completely downhill—and she’s the one to blame.

In addition to denying the allegations of domestic violence, he said in court documents:

“I am gravely concerned that her [Michelle Ghent] actions have had an incredibly negative effect on my career and my ability to obtain future work as an actor.”

Terrence’s agent also jumped in on the action and submitted a declaration claiming that since these allegations surfaced, Terrence has not received any “suitable offers.”

While there was some backlash over the movie “Red Tails,” most of that had to do with the fact that the actors all have non-black wives, or more importantly, that there were no black women in the film at all. I don’t recall anyone mentioning his problems at home while he promoted the film. And either way you look at it, Terrence’s wife has nothing to do with it. If he put his hands on her, he’s to blame for his own faltering career. If he didn’t put his hands on her, it’s not as though movie roles were coming in in droves before this whole mess anyway.

Terrence’s agent says that the actor only earned $60,000 for his last role which wrapped in September, but considering he was only paid $12,000 for “Crash,” he might actually be on the come up.

Are you a fan of Terrence Howard? Did the domestic violence allegations affect your opinion of him at all?

I have asked several questions, and many of the replies suggest that I consider FIREFOX. I’m not sure what it is – probably a browser. Is it similar to Netscape and Internet Explorer? What are its good features and its bad features?.

Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

He made 12k for Crash??? he is being ripped off, what the fsck is going on, lol. How much did Sandra get for that same movie, he is being paid no money what so ever. Is this the deal with acting or is he just a dope.

I don’t think I would talk about him making 60k a movie if I were his agent. It doesn’t make you sound like a very good agent.

Pfeiffer87, not every single person in the entire Red Tails movie has a white wife, but the actors who played the main 4 or 5 characters are married to non-black women which is still pretty surprising. But I agree with you that it shouldn’t have been a big controversy.

$60,000? When the likes of Jennifer Aniston earn $5-10 million per movie? No wonder everybody *black* wants to be a singer then.
Really

awwwww.. what a shame……NEXT!

‘While there was some backlash over the movie “Red Tails,” most of that had to do with the fact that the actors all have non-black wives’… ummm. Ne-Yo & Monyetta? plus the fact that half of them are NOT married yet – Tristan Wilds, Michael B Jordan etc. bitter much?
