Terrence Howard sued for alleged assault

Terrence Howard seems to be having a pretty bad month. After seemingly losing his coveted role in the “Iron Man” sequel to Don Cheadle, the Oscar-nominated actor and singer is now being sued for allegedly beating up, a man he worked with.
According to a lawsuit, Terrence allegedly beatdown composer Tex Allen in a backstage assault as they worked together on Broadway’s “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” last winter. The suit alleges that Terrence confronted Allen while he sat at his piano during a Jan. 24 rehearsal at the Walter Kerr Theatre and punched him repeatedly in the face and head.
Now Allen, a jazz pianist and the brother of Debbie Allen, who directed the play, is demanding $5 million for his alleged battered head and face, according to court papers. Allen claims the alleged assault ruined his music playing. Perhaps Terrence recent ‘bad luck’ are tied to his not taking direction so well? It’s terrible to punch someone in the face like that, but one wonders how it ruined his music playing unless it damaged his hearing or something like that, but hopefully it’s not one of those ‘emotional scaring’ deals. Neither Howard nor Allen are commenting right now.
