In divorce court filings obtained by TMZ, actor Terrence Howard claims that his wife, Michelle Ghent, threatened to have him killed by violent Russians and called him racist names such as “monkey n-word.”

Howard claims that his wife threatened to have him killed by Russian friends after she tried to extort him and claimed that she didn’t want any “n-word children.”

TMZ reports:

In the docs, Howard notes Michelle is NOT black — and claims that when she would get upset, she would scream things like, “[I] never wanted to marry a n**ger in the first place” and “[I] definitely didn’t want to be the step mother of some n**ger kids.”

As TMZ first reported, Howard claims Michelle is trying to extort him over private recordings she allegedly stole from his personal computer — and in the new docs, T.H. alleges his wife threatened to have him “clipped” if he went to police.

Earlier this month, Ghent accused Howard of being abusive and received a temporary restraining order against him. According to The Wrap, Ghent claimed in court papers that the actor “became verbally and physically abusive toward me” shortly after their 2010 wedding. (She filed for divorce in February.)
