Terrence Howard’s ex-wife has accused him of threatening to kill her.

The 46-year-old actor is the subject of a lawsuit from Michelle Ghent, whom he married in January 2010, but split from 11 months later, with their divorce finalised in May 2013. She claims he grabbed her by the neck, pushed her against a wall and began strangling her during a heated argument in 2013. She also alleged he threatened to kill her and then mule-kicked her.

The Empire actor has insisted it was mutual combat, claiming she pepper spayed him during the fight.
