Terrence Howard said he distanced himself from Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs<\/a> after an uncomfortable encounter that began with acting lessons and ended with what he believed were sexual advances.<\/p>\n During a recent podcast appearance, Howard claimed Diddy invited him over repeatedly under the pretense of private coaching sessions but never actually rehearsed any material.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cPuffy invited me for weeks,\u201d Howard said, claiming Diddy wanted him to be his acting coach for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n According to Howard, the meetings were anything but professional.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201c[I] go there, and he\u2019s sitting around just looking. I\u2019m like: \u2018Okay, what\u2019s the material you want to work on?\u2019 He\u2019s just looking at me,\u201d he recalled. \u201cThen next thing you know, okay: \u2018Hey, will you help me? I wanna hear your music.\u2019 So, I come over there and I\u2019m playing the music. He\u2019s sitting there, just looking at me, like waiting.\u201d<\/p>\n Howard said it was his assistant who finally raised the red flag.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cSo then my assistant was like: \u2018He wants to hang out with you next weekend,’\u201d he added. \u201cI was like: \u2018For what?\u2019 He\u2019s like: \u2018I think he\u2019s trying to f### you.’\u201d<\/p>\n The \u201cEmpire\u201d actor said he cut ties with Diddy shortly after that exchange, citing a broader refusal to compromise his values in Hollywood.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve lost businesses because I don\u2019t bend over in that way,\u201d Howard said. \u201cI don\u2019t compromise. I don\u2019t play gay roles.\u201d<\/p>\n He added, \u201cI don\u2019t kiss a man. I don\u2019t do that s### because the man card means everything.\u201d<\/p>\n Terrence Howard talking about how Diddy tried to sleep with him \ud83e\udee4\ud83e\udee4 pic.twitter.com\/vjUknFASug<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 The Instigator (@Am_Blujay) April 7, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Terrence Howard\u2019s comments come as Diddy faces mounting legal troubles.
