Jokes aside,Terrence Howard, who has a net worth of $4 million, raised even more serious accusations regarding the CAA. For example, Howard accused the agency of illegally using his image from 2005’s “Hustle and Flow,” to advertise “Empire” without compensating him. “They took that, flipped that, and put it on everything,” said Howard (via VIBE). “They took the trademark of it, sold it around the world, didn’t ask my permission … That image is worth $100 million at least for how much money that they made from it.” Howard also claimed the CAA attempted to intimidate him by sending him a check for $666.
Howard raised similar points in December 2023, when he initially filed suit against the CAA. According to Rolling Stone, Howard claimed the agency coerced him into taking a lower salary to benefit “Empire” producer Lee Daniels and other execs in a package deal, of which he wasn’t initially aware. “I can’t say for certain this was a racial issue, but I can’t imagine another counterpart — a white counterpart — with the same accolades, name recognition and numbers that I had, receiving the lowball pay that I was receiving,” the former Marvel star shared with the publication.
Whether Howard can take on this company and win remains to be seen. However, he would probably have better luck with social media if he ditched the hair.
