It has been revealed that Terrence Howard was pressured into giving his ex-wife Michelle Ghent a generous spousal support deal after she blackmailed him with nude pictures and smutty videos.
Sources said that the 46-year-old actor will likely make a formal legal claim in April about the ridiculously rich spousal support deal as he feared the various photos and videos would ruin his career, TMZ.com reported.
