Terrence Howard and wife Michelle Ghent during happier times in Jan. 2011.
Oscar-nominated actor Terrence Howard allegedly threatened suicide with
an X-Acto blade, threw his wife on a hardwood floor and called himself
“Satan” during a marital meltdown in Toronto, new court paperwork
obtained by the Daily News states.
Now appearing with Oprah Winfrey in the No. 1 movie “The Butler,” Howard purportedly went berserk when a planned reconciliation with his then-estranged wife, Michelle, ended in a fight over phone numbers for six women found in his bag on April 23.
Michelle Howard made the blockbuster claims in her new filing after a judge granted her a temporary restraining order last month following a nuclear dispute with the actor in Costa Rica in July.
In her new sworn statement, she said Howard first denied any knowledge
of the phone numbers when she confronted him during a trip to Toronto.
He then flew into a rage when she called the women on speaker phone and
“confirmed” his flirting, she said.
One of the women said she was only 17 years old, the new documents state.

The “Hustle & Flow” actor allegedly erupted, shattered his wife’s
computer by tossing it out a window, “grabbed” her arm, caused her to
fall and then lifted her off the ground by her sweats and T-shirt so he
could throw her back down again, the documents claim.
“He grabbed an X-Acto blade and put it to his wrist as if to cut himself,” her filing states. He then reached for the “belt on his robe and displayed attempts to hang himself.”
According to Michelle, the star then threatened her life.
