Terrence Howard<\/a> has revealed he believes that Sean \u2018Diddy<\/a>\u2019 Combs once made sexual advances towards him.<\/p>\n Combs, who is currently awaiting trial for charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution \u2013 which he denies \u2013 has been held in police custody in jail since September.<\/p>\n Bail has been repeatedly denied over \u2018very significant concerns\u2019 regarding alleged substance abuse and \u2018what appears to be anger issues\u2019, according to US Magistrate Judge Robyn F Tarnofsky.\u00a0<\/p>\n This week the controversial rapper<\/a>, 55, was also hit with five new criminal counts<\/a>, including racketeering and sex trafficking once more, according to court records, to which he has also pleaded not guilty.<\/p>\n Now Hollywood actor Howard, who was Oscar nominated for his turn as a drug dealer and pimp in 2005 film Hustle & Flow, has claimed that Combs \u2018invited him for weeks\u2019 to meet previously on the supposed grounds that he wanted acting lessons.<\/p>\n However, the 56-year-old alleged that Combs spent their time together simply staring at him, before asking him over to \u2018hang out\u2019 one weekend.<\/p>\n \t\t When Howard\u2019s unnamed assistant then suggested that, in his opinion, the music artist was \u2018trying to f**k\u2019 Howard, the Empire star cut contact.<\/p>\n \u2018Puffy invited me for weeks, asking me to come and teach him how to \u2013 he wanted me to be his acting coach for a while,\u2019 said Howard, using one of Combs\u2019 former nicknames, on the PBD Podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2018[I] go there, and he\u2019s sitting around just looking. I\u2019m like: \u201cOkay, what\u2019s the material you want to work on?\u201d He\u2019s just looking at me.<\/p>\n \u2018Then next thing you know, okay: \u201cHey, will you help me? I wanna hear your music.\u201d So, I come over there and I\u2019m playing the music. He\u2019s sitting there, just looking at me, like waiting.\u2019<\/p>\n Howard continued: \u2018So then my assistant was like: \u201cHe wants to hang out with you next weekend.\u201d I was like: \u201cFor what?\u201d He\u2019s like: \u201cI think he\u2019s trying to f**k you.\u201d\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t \u2018I was like: \u201cOh, okay. Now I get it.\u201d So now, no more communication. Now you know to be hands-off with somebody,\u2019 he recalled.<\/p>\n Ray and Crash actor Howard<\/a> then alleged further: \u2018A number of producers come in and make the approach, and you threaten to punch them in the mouth, or threaten to knock their head off for talking to you like \u2013 or looking at you \u2013 like you\u2019re a woman.\u2019<\/p>\n The former Marvel star, who played James \u2018Rhodey\u2019 Rhodes in 2008\u2019s Iron Man<\/a>, also defended his reaction, saying: \u2018When you approach a real man about his masculinity, you\u2019re gonna get a real reaction back. It\u2019s a difference when a guy walks in a room and when a man walks into a room, and a man don\u2019t take the same things that a guy will accept.\u2019<\/p>\n He further claimed that he had always strived to \u2018be the man in the room, and that\u2019s always been my whole thing\u2019.<\/p>\n \u2018I\u2019ve lost businesses because I don\u2019t bend over in that way,\u2019 he added. \u2018I don\u2019t compromise. I don\u2019t play gay roles. I don\u2019t kiss a man. I don\u2019t do that s**t because the man card means everything.\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t Ahead of his specific claim against Combs, he had claimed during a wide-ranging interview<\/a> that everyone who attended the music mogul\u2019s notorious parties<\/a> had \u2018given up their manhood\u2019 and \u2018never recovered from it\u2019.<\/p>\n He also rallied against Hollywood and its actors\u2019 current \u2018fluidity\u2019.<\/p>\n \u2018You shouldn\u2019t have a greater desire than being a man. I believe that\u2019s a big problem with a lot of the actors out there because they get fluid, and next thing you know, once you go fluid it\u2019s gone,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n \u2018You don\u2019t have any foundation to pull yourself back from \u2013 so maintain your man card, no matter what.\u2019<\/p>\n Combs\u2019 trial is set for May 5 in Manhattan, and if found guilty, the mandatory minimum sentence he faces is 15 years, with a maximum sentence of life in prison.<\/p>\n \t\t An estimated 60 civil lawsuits have also been filed against Combs, including a $10million (\u00a37.85million) lawsuit after he\u00a0allegedly dangling a woman from a 17th-floor balcony<\/a>.<\/p>\n One case, filed in January by an anonymous woman,\u00a0claimed she was lured into his car after babysitting<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and assaulted by Combs.<\/p>\n Another case was put forward by an unnamed man who claimed Combs sexually assaulted him at a hotel in New York in 2005,\u00a0when he was aged just 10, during an \u2018audition\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n Many other accusations stem from his so-called \u2018Freak-Off\u2019 parties<\/a>, with documents and videos reportedly seen by the New York Post said to show\u00a0Combs\u00a0held at least three of these raucous sex parties<\/a>.<\/p>\n He allegedly coerced multiple alleged victims into sex acts, known as \u2018freak offs\u2019, and is accused of \u2018directing, masturbating during, and often electronically recording\u2019 them during the events.<\/p>\n \t\t Over 100 people are said to be planning to sue Combs<\/a> after allegations from unnamed accusers who were as young as 9 at the time.<\/p>\n The\u00a0timeline of accusations<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0against the rapper is extensive, with previous allegations and court cases stretching back to the 90s.<\/p>\n Combs has denied all allegations against him.<\/p>\n Metro has contacted Sean Combs\u2019 representatives and lawyer for comment.<\/p>\n Got a story?<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got a celebrity story, video or pictures get in touch with the Metro.co.uk<\/a> entertainment team by emailing us celebtips@metro.co.uk, calling 020 3615 2145 or by visiting our Submit Stuff<\/a> page \u2013 we\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow![\"Mandatory](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SEI_246525312-3577.jpg\")
