Terrence Howard might star in Fox’s Empire, one of the biggest shows of the year, but he revealed his real money woes.

Apparently he’s not even getting any of the money from Empire!
He and his wife, Mira Pak, sat down with Rolling Stone in an extremely candid interview published earlier this week.

He revealed,“You know, all my checks from Fox are being held for garnishment, because of my ex. I’m broke as can be. But my wife, she did well for herself, so she covered us. This place, she’s renting it. I’m suffering. There’s nothing worse than being a broke movie star.”
But he already has plans for what he wants to do next as soon as his money gets right.
He said he’s moving his family to “The suburbs…as soon as they free up my money. It’s always been a hard road for me. I run into bad luck. But I run into good luck too, so it’s even-steven right now. I’ve got a good wife.”
Interestingly enough, after the interview, it was revealed that he and Pak had separated last year!
She filed for divorce because of “irreconcilable differences.”
It will be finalized in October. They hadn’t even lived together during the time of the interview, so it’s interesting to see where Howard was living during his tough times.
Still, thanks to his on-screen wife, Taraji P. Henson, he snagged a lead role in Fox’s Empire.
