Terrence Howard has admitted that he hit both of his former wives, Lori McCommas and Michelle Ghent, which cost him his marriages.
The 'Empire' star said in a recent interview that he was provoked, as his former spouses used to shout at him often, TMZ.com reports.
The 46-year-old American actor added that Ghent tried to mace him, and he was trying to fend her off, but legally, it was highlighted that he was hitting her.
Howard was arrested in 2001 for hitting his Lori McCommas.
