Terrence Howard: ‘Divorce battle has cost me my Empire salary’
Speaking about that in the new interview, Terrence said, “She was talking to me real strong, and I lost my mind and slapped her in front of the kids…” He later pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct for the incident.

Howard also addressed a 2005 incident in which a woman claimed he hit her by saying he was acting in self-defense.
Despite the public allegations against Howard, Fox CEO Dana Walden defended her decision to cast him inEmpire, claiming that “with Terrence we didn’t really become aware of any of the [domestic violence allegations] until December”, one month before the show premiered.
Empire’s creators are calling it “the black Dynasty” mixed with “King Lear” Howard believes his discovery will significantly change the way that mathematics is taught for generations to come, and that if Pythagoras were around to see this discovery “he would lose his mind”.
For the rest of Terrence’s interview, including the parts where he talks about his mathematical system and his relationship with his third wife, check out The Rolling Stone.
Beyond the idiosyncrasies of his love life, Howard also reveals his obsession with a new form of logic that he calls Terryology, based on his belief that one times one equals two, not one – a theory that the article doesn’t explain. “The true universal math”. “I ain’t raisin” sheep. Everything is androgynous, you know?
But Pak insists she accepted all his faults when she married him in December, 2013, because she knew he was a damaged man: “He didn’t have much of a childhood“.
He told Rolling Stone he left the institution soon after because “you can’t conform when you know innately that something is wrong”.
“Never heard from him. Then the movie comes out, I get all these accolades, and now the producers are like, ‘Oh, you made the movie.’ But now they’ve set it up that Terrence is hard, and so that has followed me”. “I raised men. Stay a man, ‘” Howard recalled.
He and his wife Mira Pak spend most of their waking hours with scissors, wire, magnets and sheets of plastic, cutting shapes out of the plastic and joining them into different shapes to prove their theory. “I was the pretty boy, so people didn’t think I could defend myself, but it didn’t end up being a good day for them”. “The more successful men now are the effeminate”.
