The drama unfolded as Howard passionately defended his longtime colleague and friend, Taraji P. Henson, against accusations of being sidelined in the industry.
The Oprah-Taraji Connection:
According to insider reports, Taraji P.
Henson, celebrated for her remarkable performances, particularly in “The Color Purple,” allegedly faced mistreatment and unequal compensation while working on a project produced by Oprah Winfrey.
Sources suggest that Oprah, along with the film’s producers, intended to marginalize Henson for her outspokenness on issues like the Hollywood gender pay gap and her challenging experiences during filming.
Terrence Howard’s Defense:
Terrence Howard, known for his outspoken nature and willingness to confront industry elites, swiftly came to Taraji’s defense.
This isn’t the first time Howard has clashed with Oprah; he previously lent his support to Mo’Nique when she accused Oprah of undermining her career.

Howard’s stance highlights the importance of solidarity among actors and the need to address systemic issues of mistreatment and inequality in the entertainment industry.
