Actor Terrence Howard came out on Chris Brown’s defense, saying “It’s just life, man. Chris is a great guy. He’ll be alright. And Rihanna knows he loves her, you know? They’ll be alright.” He loves her?? He beats her leaving “horrific” injuries and Chris still loves Rihanna?? I believe Rihanna doesn’t need that kind of loving!

Terrence should have kept his mouth shut since he also has a few skeletons in his closet too, Smoking Gun reports the Oscar-nominated actor was arrested back in 2001 for assaulting his wife.

Terrence was arrested by Pennsylvania cops in September 2001 for assaulting his estranged wife.

While McCommas was speaking with a police dispatcher, Howard “showed up at the victim’s residence and began breaking the door down.” McCommas ran to the rear of the house and into the backyard. Howard then “broke the front door down and ran through the screen door in the kitchen. Howard then grabbed the victim’s left arm and punched her twice with a closed fist in the left side of the face.”

According to a Whitemarsh Police Department report, after Howard and Lori McCommas argued on the phone, the actor warned, “Don’t disrespect me by hanging up on me or I’ll come over and hurt you.” McCommas then “hung up and contacted 911 fearing Howard was serious.”

When a Whitemarsh cop responded to the scene, Howard admitted, “I broke the door down and hit my wife.”

I actually liked Terrence. I completely lost the respect I might have for this guy. Not only did he assault his wife but he dares to try to defend another alleged abuser like Chris Brown. What if a guy abused his daughter, would he also try to defend him too??
