Terrence Howard will once again face off with his ex-wife, Michelle Ghent, in court.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ghent is suing the Empire star, claiming he viciously beat her during a 2013 trip to Costa Rica.
The civil complaint was filed in Los Angeles on Tuesday, July 28. It states that Howard "followed Plaintiff into the restroom of the rental house and punched her on the left side of her face. Defendant also grabbed Plaintiff by her neck and pushed her against the bathroom wall and strangled her for several seconds. The complaint goes on to all that he "grabbed her neck again and pinned her against the shower glass and her head hit the wall."
After Howard's son-in-law intervened, the actor allegedly threatened to kill Ghent.
Later on the evening of July 29, claims Michelle, he charged at her and she pepper-sprayed him in the face. "Defendant continued swinging his arms and caused Plaintiff to fall down. While Plaintiff was on the ground, Defendant repeatedly mule-kicked Plaintiff in the head and shoulders," states the complaint.
She claims assault and battery, intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress. In the same complaint, she claims he defamed her by "mak[ing] false accusations disseminated to the public through the media that Plaintiff had made death threats and other threats against Defendant and his family through various social media accounts.
TMZ reports that the claim was filed 1 day before the statute of limitations was up.
