Actor Terrence Howard takes witness stand in hearing to try to overturn divorce settlement
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Actor Terrence Howard has taken the witness stand as he tries to overturn a 2012 divorce settlement on the grounds his ex-wife extorted him.
The star of the hit television series “Empire” took the stand Thursday to detail some of his allegations against former wife Michelle Ghent, who has accused the actor of domestic abuse and failing to pay her under the agreement.
The Oscar-nominated actor claims Ghent threatened to leak personal information, including images of him naked and a sex tape, if he didn’t meet her terms.
Ghent’s lawyers say she denied during a deposition that she blackmailed her husband.
Audio of Ghent berating Howard and threatening to sell a video of him dancing naked in the bathroom was played for a judge Tuesday.
