Terrence Howard: Death threats allegedly from ex

Empire star Terrence Howard has been receiving threats via Instagram over the past year and he's finally getting the police to investigate where they're coming from -- even though he has a pretty good idea.

Howard believes his ex-wife Michelle Ghent, with whom he had a brief and rocky marriage, is behind a series of threatening messages including, "I'm watching you! I'm coming for ... LOL. You two won't live to see your children." Another message warns his new wife, Mira Pak, "Your husband is cheating on you! Just thought you should know." The LAPD got a search warrant to investigate Michelle Ghent as the main culprit, although she told TMZ that she is not behind the messages and that police have already spoken to her and cleared her. The investigation is still open. (TMZ)
