Terrence Howard was seen catching a flight out of Los Angeles on Tuesday as new details in his current court case emerged.

Ghent alleges that the argument began in a Toronto hotel room on April 23 after she
questioned Howard upon finding six women’s phone numbers in his bag.

Ghent claims the 44-year-old threw her laptop out of a window and lifted her up by her clothing before slamming her back down to the ground.
According to the documents obtained by New York Daily News he threatened suicide and said: ‘I’m just thinking if I should kill you first before killing me.’

According to TMZ the filing also contained many text messages apparently sent to Ghent from Howard, in which he offers to pay for the damage to her computer and allegedly says he will seek psychiatric treatment.
Ghent won the temporary restraining order amid claims Howard ‘sucker punched’ and ‘kicked’ her on June 29 during a fight in Costa Rica.
Howard denies the allegations and claims 36-year-old Ghent was the one who lost her temper during their holiday together.

In his own statement, the Hustle & Flow star alleges: ‘(She) suddenly went crazy for no apparent reason, said “I told you not to f*** with me,” and she took out a canister of mace/pepper spray and proceeded to spray me with it.’
He goes on to claim that Ghent left while he was flushing out his eyes and she allegedly had no noticeable injuries when he saw her the next day.
In addition Howard claims Ghent timed her court filing in order to ‘ruin’ his reputation ahead of the release of his new movie The Butler.
