Terrence Howard Hit Wife–Domestic Assault Arrest 2001
Terrence Howard probably wishes he would have kept his mouth shut about the Chris Brown-Rihanna assault scandal.
After Chris’ arrest for assaulting his girlfriend Rihanna last week, the actor rallied to the defense of the accused batterer, telling members of the paparazzi:
“It’s just life, man. Chris is a great guy. He’ll be alright. And Rihanna knows he loves her, you know? They’ll be alright.”
Terrence later apologized for his remarks, but not before The Smoking Gun unearthed documents revealing that the Oscar-nominated actor was once arrested for beating his estranged wife.
According to The Smoking Gun.com:
Terrence was arrested by Pennsylvania cops in September 2001 for assaulting his estranged wife.
While McCommas was speaking with a police dispatcher, Howard “showed up at the victim’s residence and began breaking the door down.” McCommas ran to the rear of the house and into the backyard. Howard then “broke the front door down and ran through the screen door in the kitchen. Howard then grabbed the victim’s left arm and punched her twice with a closed fist in the left side of the face.”
According to a Whitemarsh Police Department report, after Howard and Lori McCommas argued on the phone, the actor warned, “Don’t disrespect me by hanging up on me or I’ll come over and hurt you.” McCommas then “hung up and contacted 911 fearing Howard was serious.”
When a Whitemarsh cop responded to the scene, Howard admitted, “I broke the door down and hit my wife.”
