Is Terrence Howard an overprotective father?

Mr. Howard seems to think so! After reading this snippet on IMDB, I'm starting to think so too! Actor Terrence Howard, known best perhaps for those gorgeous eyes, has admitted to threatening to kill his daughter's boyfriend.
The Iron Man (and, my personal favorite, Hustle and Flow) star claims he did not approve of his fourteen-year-old daughter Aubrey's former boyfriend, stating, "...you picked a green fruit from the tree that's far from ripe." Howard also claims he expects his children to be obedient and has told Aubrey she will be cut out of any future inheritance should she go against his wishes.
Terrence also plans on taking his daughter out of the country for a trip this summer to allow the young man to start dating someone else to ensure the two don't go back to being an item. WOW. That DOES sound a tad over the top. Or, does it? I can't tell you how some of my male friends changed once they became fathers to little girls. Even my own husband, who is about to have his own Daddy's Little Girl, has already started commenting on bikinis seeming too small and that sort of thing. I don't envision him threatening to kill our daughter's boyfriend though!

Peter Hartcher, Sally Warhaft and Bob Ellis consider the rise of Rudd and Howard's demise.

eugene said...I find it kinda funny that you lead in with the threatening to kill the guy and then reinforce your arguement with "go on vacation with his daughter" as the clincher in your argument that he's an over protective parent... Just me, but I think threatening to kill someone is a little more extreme.
Other than the death threat, I think he's just being a responsible parent. If he doesn't think his underage daughter is ready to date, more power to him. I wish more parents took such an active role in the social lives of their kids.

Gloria said...He will forever be known as the "baby wipe" guy. He's hot, but ew. He's an odd one. Some of his classic quotes:
"I like women who look like me. Generally, you're attracted to women who look like you, because the most beautiful thing in nature is your own reflection."
and of course, the whole baby wipe thing:
"Toilet paper - and no baby wipes - in the bathroom. If they're using dry paper, they aren't washing all of themselves. It's just unclean. So if I go in a woman's house and see the toilet paper there, I'll explain this. And if she doesn't make the adjustment to baby wipes, I'll know she's not completely clean."
Like I said...ew.

Danielle said...As a 14 year old, I can say that although there are some people my age who would not be able to handle a relationship without either being obsessively clingy and/or taking their clothes off, the majority of us are. I think adults underestimate us. I'm not allowed to date, but if the guy I liked asked me out, I would not say "oh, I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to date, so go find some other girl who would be more than willing". That's just idiotic.
Anyway, this Terrance Howard guy needs to let things go a bit. I can understand his being overprotective (my father certainly is), but really, threatening to kill someone, followed by some "profound saying" to back himself up, is too much.

pbhj said..."threatened to kill"?
If he said "mess with my daughter and I'll kill you" then he was just issuing a general threat, it's a turn of phrase.
If he took a gun out and held it to his head then that's a death threat. Complex thing language.
The 14 year old boy is probably after some quick thrills with a hot girl ... the dad is right to be protective. I'm interested that you all seem to find it strange that a 14 yo has a boyfriend - kids nowadays are taught to use condoms at 11 (or less) so it's no wonder is it?
