A former girlfriend of Terrence Howard comes forward with her abuse claims...
From NY Daily News
An ex-girlfriend who called the cops on Terrence Howard during a violent fight in May 2012 says she's not surprised by Michelle Howard's recent claims of abuse.
"I believe Michelle. I've seen the same behavior first hand. He's very likable, but when he gets in a certain headspace, it's scary," May Seng Yang told the News Tuesday.
"He didn't have these tendencies when I first met him, but in the last five years, he's progressed to dangerous behavior," she said, explaining that he was devastated by his beloved mom's 2008 cancer death and became "depressed" over the loss.
"He would say he wished he could just stop breathing," she said.
Yang's relationship with Terrence took a dark turn on May 6, 2012, when she dropped by his Pennsylvania house unannounced.
He had called her to say he was in town, Yang claimed, but when she knocked on his door, he was there with Erica Taylor, an actress he publicly dated after Michelle filed for divorce.
Yang said she was having a "calm" conversation with Taylor when Terrence lost his temper, choked her, pushed her to the ground and punched her in her left eye.
She said she ran to a neighbor's house and called 911, but when cops arrived, Terrence claimed she was the aggressor and had a visible scratch on his face.
Yang denied scratching the actor but was taken into custody after Taylor sided with Terrence, she said.
