The flashy headlines you’re seeing everywhere are grossly unfair. Read the full story for the full context:
Oscar-nominated actor Terrence Howard left a life-threatening message on a stranger’s voicemail, and RadarOnline.com has exclusively obtained the shocking audio.
In the message, left early in the morning of August 31, Terrence identifies himself before going off on an angry tirade about the source calling his wife.
“N**ga, you been calling my wife… If you call my wife again I’m going to come to your house and I’m going to cut your f***ing throat,” Terrence says in the message.
“Understand that. I’m gonna tell you this one time. You call my wife again, I’m going to kill you.”
Except… Howard was responding to a prank and a stupidly executed one at that. Upon realizing he had made a mistake, Howard called back and apologized:
According to the source, just five days prior, a female friend of his said she got Terrence’s phone number from another friend. After a night of drinking with the source, she decided to prank call Terrence and leave a message expressing her undying love.
“Her phone was dead, so she used mine and left about a three-minute voicemail professing her love for him,” the source — who wishes to remain anonymous — told RadarOnline.com.
“But apparently the call was made to his wife’s phone, not his. I’m assuming she got the voicemail of my friend gushing about Terrence and questioned him about it.”
On September 7, Terrence again called the source and left another voicemail, but this time to apologize.
“I’m so sorry for calling you and speaking that way,” Terrence said. “I thought you were somebody that’s been harassing my wife. Please forgive me.”
1. Terrence Howard was responding to someone who he thought was harassing his wife. When it comes to protecting one’s family, is there really such a thing as an overreaction?
2. As soon as Howard realized what really happened, he did the right thing and apologized.
The only story here is that Terrence Howard handled this like any reasonable man would in this situation.
