Terrence Howard claims Diddy made unwanted advances during alleged acting sessions

Terrence Howard says he cut ties with Diddy after alleged inappropriate encounter disguised as acting lessons.

Actor Terrence Howard has come forward with allegations that Sean “Diddy” Combs attempted to seduce him under the guise of private acting lessons.

Howard made the claims during a recent podcast appearance, saying the music mogul repeatedly invited him for acting sessions that turned into uncomfortable encounters.

“Puffy invited me for weeks,” Howard said, referring to Diddy’s insistence that he needed help with acting. However, the sessions never involved any rehearsals or scripts. “I’m like: ‘Okay, what’s the material you want to work on?’ He’s just looking at me,” Howard recalled.

The situation reportedly escalated when Diddy requested to hear Howard’s music instead of focusing on acting, prompting concern from Howard’s assistant. “My assistant was like, ‘I think he’s trying to f### you,’” Howard said. He stated that he cut ties with Diddy shortly afterward, saying he refuses to compromise his values.

“I’ve lost businesses because I don’t bend over in that way,” Howard added. “I don’t compromise. I don’t play gay roles. I don’t kiss a man.”

Howard’s statements surface amid growing legal trouble for Diddy. On April 4, federal prosecutors added two more charges — sex trafficking and transportation for prostitution — to an existing case against the Bad Boy Records founder.

Diddy is accused of running a network of sexual exploitation from 2004 to 2024. Allegations include organizing “Freak Offs” — drug-fueled sex parties where women were coerced into performing.

Diddy remains in federal custody in Brooklyn, with his trial set for May 5 in Manhattan. If convicted on all charges, he could face life in prison.
