Sunday, April 6, 2025 - Actor Terrence Howard has opened up about what he described as the "dark side of Hollywood," revealing an encounter with music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs that he claimed made him uncomfortable.
Speaking during an appearance on the PBD Podcast hosted
by Patrick Bet-David, Howard recounted a personal experience he said took place
when Diddy invited him over under the pretense of receiving acting lessons.
According to Howard, the situation quickly turned odd.
“He didn’t have any material, nothing to work on,” Howard
recalled, alleging that Diddy simply stared at him and later asked him to play
music—only to continue watching him. “Nothing was accomplished,” he added.
Howard claimed that a subsequent invitation made him realize
that Diddy’s intentions were not professional. “That’s when I knew he didn’t
want acting lessons — he wanted something else,” the Empire star
said. He emphasized that while he felt targeted, he is not accusing Diddy of
any wrongdoing.
“I knew what was going on. He wanted to have sex with me,”
Howard said during the podcast. “A lot of people give up their man card to make
it in Hollywood. I never did. I refused.”
The story came as a surprise to Bet-David, who had asked
Howard about the darker aspects of the entertainment industry without naming
any individuals. Howard’s response led him to directly bring up Diddy,
currently facing a series of legal challenges and accusations of misconduct
from multiple parties.
Diddy has not responded to Howard’s remarks, and as of now,
no formal accusations have been made in relation to this particular claim.
