‘Empire’ actor Terrence Howard has tearfully told a Los Angeles court about a blackmail plot that his ex-wife, Michelle Ghent, is alleged to have constructed in order to extract a bigger divorce settlement, claiming that she was threatening to release embarrassing information about his sex life to the media. Howard is seeking to have the 2012 divorce settlement he agreed with his ex-wife set aside, on the grounds that he signed it under duress, according to the Associated Press. The agreement stipulated that he was to pay Ghent $5,800 a month for three years, even though their marriage in 2010 lasted for under two. The 46 year old star lost his composure as he recounted his fears that Ghent would release a range of audio and video footage of his private life that would damage his public reputation beyond repair. “I was terrified of her releasing the private tapes,” he said, revealing that they showed him in “intimate settings”. He said he was afraid she would “release the video and audio of me in a very private and intimate place and I would never be able to work again in this business.”
