More girl trouble for Terrence Howard ... this time the actor claims his ex-GF showed up to his home in Pennsylvania and smacked him in the face.

According to CBS Philly, 39-year-old May Seng Yang was arrested over an incident at Howard's home on May 6.

Howard reportedly told police Yang knocked on his front door around 11 PM ... and when he opened up with his new GF by his side, Yang clocked him in the nose.

Howard reportedly told police he was romantically involved with Yang for several years ... but she wouldn't leave him alone after he broke things off. 

Yang was charged with assault, trespassing, harassment and disorderly conduct -- but Yang is denying the allegations ... claiming SHE was the one who was attacked that fateful night.

Yang is due in court in June.

Meanwhile, Howard is still in a legal war with his estranged wife Michelle ... who claims the actor got violent with her on several occasions. Howard says it's all BS ... claiming she's a racist who threatened to have him killed.

In the midst of a nasty divorce with his allegedly racist wife, Terrence Howard somehow found time to tackle ANOTHER legal dispute -- this time with an ousted ex-manager, who claimed Howard owed her mega bucks in unpaid commission.

The manager -- a woman named Victoria Fredrick -- filed a lawsuit against the actor last year, claiming Terrence owed her $137,500 for work she did while he starred in "Winnie" and "Fightin," for which Terrence earned a combined $2.75 million.

Fredrick also claimed Terrence owed her residuals from some of his biggest movies -- "Hustle and Flow", "Get Rich or Die Tryin", "Iron Man" -- PLUS over 100 future movies not even made yet.

But Howard furiously shot back -- claiming Fredrick was a "personal manager" only insofar as she answered phones and ran errands ... she did NOT help babysit his movie career, or have a stake in future projects.

Terrence said he paid her adequately while he employed her -- including some commission -- but any money demands she made beyond that were BS.

But it's all water under the bridge now -- the case was dismissed last week ... after the parties settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.

Terrence Howard filed a police report with the LAPD Monday, claiming his estranged wife is extorting him, and we're told he presented a shocking audio tape as proof.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Howard and his lawyer went to the LAPD to file the crime report.  Howard claims Michelle Ghent Howard is squarely demanding money from him, in return for not making a Terrence sex tape and other embarrassing things public.

The former couple is in an epically bitter divorce battle. Among many things, Terrence claims Michelle is a racist who threatened to have him killed ... by the Russians.

The LAPD had no official comment, but we're told cops are in possession of the audio tape and they are investigating the extortion claim.

Michelle's attorney had no comment.

Terrence Howard is having a bad day ... 'cause the actor has just been ordered to write a big, fat check to a woman he accused of being an evil racist ... his wife.

Howard was in L.A. County Superior Court today to deal with his exceptionally nasty divorce from Michelle Ghent Howard ... and was ordered to shell out more than $50,000 to hold her over until they hammer out a long-term arrangement. 

Here's the breakdown ... the judge ruled that Michelle needs:
-- $10k in temporary support for rent, food, etc. 
-- $20k so she can pay her lawyers
-- $20k so she can pay her accountants
-- and $1,800 per month for her Range Rover car payments

Terrence has to fork over the dough within 30 days.

As TMZ previously reported, Terrence HATES Michelle with a passion ... claiming she often called him a "n**ger" ... tried to extort him ... and even threatened to have him killed by "The Russians."

Michelle also HATES Terrence ... and claims he violently assaulted her on numerous occasions since they tied the knot back in 2010.

Both sides are due back in court in 60 days. Bet they can't wait.

Terrence Howard says he can't get work because everyone is scared to hire him after his estranged wife alleged he violently abused her.

TMZ has obtained new documents in the nasty divorce between Terrence and Michelle Howard.  Michelle has accused Terrence of smacking her in the face and chipping her tooth with his wedding ring, slugging her in the face and neck and threatening to throw her off a balcony ... the list goes on. 

Terrence has denied all the allegations, but he says, "I am gravely concerned that her actions have had an incredibly negative effect on my career and my ability to obtain future work as an actor."

Terrence's agent, Jim Toth -- Reese Witherspoon's hubby -- submitted a declaration in which he says Terrence has not received any "suitable offers" since the allegations were made, and he only pulled in $60,000 for his last project which ended in September.

While in the middle of one of the nastiest divorces ever, Terrence Howard took solace in the arms of some tall, hot blonde in St. Barts this weekend.

The two were spotted getting pretty up close and personal in public ... even finding time to break out some freaky dance moves in the middle of the street.

Last month, Terrence's estranged wife Michelle filed a restraining order against Howard claiming the actor constantly beat her. Terrence has vehemently denied those allegations and has asked the court to issue a restraining order against Michelle.

Despite all that legal drama, the 42-year-old is a very lucky man.

Terrence Howard says his estranged wife HATES black people ... and she would often call him names like, "monkey" and "n**ger" ... this according to new court docs obtained by TMZ.

Howard is in the middle of perhaps the nastiest divorce we've ever seen -- with both sides accusing the other of extreme violence and other hateful conduct.

Now, Howard has filed a new declaration in L.A. County Superior Court -- claiming Michelle inexplicably turned from a "loving, gentle" person ... into a monster ... who once threatened to have him killed by some violent Russians.

In the docs, Howard notes Michelle is NOT black -- and claims that when she would get upset, she would scream things like, "[I] never wanted to marry a n**ger in the first place" and "[I] definitely didn't want to be the step mother of some n**ger kids."

As TMZ first reported, Howard claims Michelle is trying to extort him over private recordings she allegedly stole from his personal computer -- and in the new docs, T.H. alleges his wife threatened to have him "clipped" if he went to police.

Howard says his wife once bragged, "I have a lot of Russian friends who would do it as a favor."

Howard also claims Michelle has jealousy issues -- and TWICE attacked him with a bottle after accusing Howard of talking with other women. Howard claims he never struck back.

Terrence has asked the court to issue a restraining order against Michelle. A hearing is set for January 17.

We reached out to Michelle's lawyer -- so far, no response.

Terrence Howard's estranged wife got a restraining order against the actor this morning -- claiming Howard constantly beats her and threatens to kill her ... but Terrence says it's all a big, fat lie.

Michelle Howard filed court documents, obtained by TMZ, claiming Terrence began beating her up just 7 days after they were married in January 2010. 

In the docs, Michelle claims Howard "slugged me across my face and neck" ... and threatened to throw her off a balcony.

Michelle claims the violence continued throughout their marriage -- with Terrence allegedly committing several violent acts, such as

-- smacking her in the face and chipping her tooth with his wedding ring
-- throwing her down to the ground in a parking lot
-- telling her, "I'll hit a woman quicker than I'd hit a man"
-- Saying, "If you tell anyone about my personal business, I will kill you and no one will ever know
-- Screaming, "B*tch, walk home. That's my car, I pay for it."

Howard also filed legal papers, adamantly denying that he EVER threatened Michelle -- but claiming she has been threatening to "release private materials to 3rd parties for her own personal financial gain" unless he paid her money.

Sources connected to the case tell TMZ ... the material in question includes a video of Howard singing naked in the shower.

This morning, an L.A. County Superior Court judge granted Michelle a temporary restraining order preventing Howard from going near her or contacting her until their next court hearing.

Michelle filed for divorce back in February.

Terrence Howard's wife Michelle Ghent filed for divorce ... TMZ has learned.



The couple married just a year ago, in January, 2010.

Terrence Howard & Channing Tatum co-star in the new movie "Fighting," but only one of 'em gets to do interviews for "106 & Park" while the other gets stuck with "the corny white ones" -- and the latter ain't happy about it.

Stars were confused left and right today in the Thirty Mile Zone -- and while our photog mixed up Judith Light with other '80s mom Ellen Travolta from "Charles in Charge," Jerry Springer mistook Speidi for actual celebrities.

Also: Fans thought Daniel Radcliffe was the best -- until he snubbed them -- and Terrence Howard thought he was a singer, but is he any good?
