Howard’s career has had its share of highs and lows. But with fame comes the skeletons.

Howard told Rolling Stone that he dropped out of Pratt Institute in Brooklyn – where he was studying to be a chemical engineer – after debating his theory with a professor.
Terrence Howard with first wife Lori and one of their children in 2005. My uncle said to me, ‘Why are you so busy trying to fit in when you were born to stand out?’ I was 14. I’ve never gotten a gift from him. “I ain’t raisin” sheep. “I raised men. Stay a man, ‘” Howard recalled. You should also know that he has some dubious things to say.
“The people that judge you don’t matter”. Howard said he hopes to inherit US patent 20150079872 A1 (“Systems and methods for enhanced building-block applications”), among others.
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.
The 46-year-old American actor added that Ghent tried to mace him, and he was trying to fend her off, but legally, it was highlighted that he was hitting her.
Surprisingly, Terrence’s ex-wife Mira Pak was present for the interview in light of reports that the couple had separated in August 2014 and then officially divorced in July of this year. So why did that happen? It’s the only charge he addresses in the interview, saying, “She was talking to me real strong, and I lost my mind and slapped her in front of the kids”.
Good thing Howard didn’t need that engineering degree. There’s also math.
“This is the last century that our children will ever have been taught that one times one is one”, he says.
“How can it equal one?”
‘One times one equals two because the square root of four is two, so what’s the square root of two? “We don’t have a normal life”, Pak told Rolling Stone.

But for all his eccentricities and the conflicts – some apparently violent – that seem to shape many of his encounters with the world, Howard remains a believer that he is finding his way to something greater than the sum of all the struggle in his life. What he wants to demonstrate is that Ghent was the pit bull in their relationship, him the passive pussycat, no matter what she might say in legal documents or court.
