Terrence Howard’s ex-wife, Michelle has allegedly been bruised, battered and beaten but her pain could soon eradicate now that Empire is a hit, with no signs of slowing down.

After claiming Terrence owed her nearly half a million, her legal spousal support documentation should help bridge that money gap.

Via TMZ:

Someone else is digging into Lucious Lyon’s pockets — Terrence Howard’s real life ex-wife is demanding a chunk of his “Empire” salary.

Michelle Howard is already supposed to get $5,800 per month from Terrence — but according to new docs … she stands to benefit greatly from his astronomical success on the FOX show, and here’s why.

The deal is Michelle gets 21% of anything Terrence made over $62,500 in the first 3 months of this year. As we previously reported … Michelle says Terrence pulls in $125k per episode — and sources tell us 3 episodes were shot this year.

We did the math, and he needs to cut her a check for about $65k. That’s just from his “Empire” money. Remember, Terrence has another show — “Wayward Pines” — debuting on FOX this year … so she’ll get some chunk of that.

Bottom line — they had a nasty divorce, but it’s safe to say Michelle’s now rooting for Terrence.

Bottom line: Terrence Howard’s life is imitating a soap opera.
