Terrence Howard: Agents hid $20K fragrance payday

Terrence Howard has escalated his legal dispute with his former talent agency, CAA, alleging they deliberately concealed opportunities from him. Howard claims his agents failed to disclose a lucrative offer for a signature fragrance and a potential role as a Home Shopping Network personality.

This new allegation is part of an ongoing lawsuit where Howard previously accused CAA of mishandling negotiations for his role on "Empire." He argues that by not informing him of the fragrance deal's specifics, including a $20,000 payment for a launch event and potential HSN appearances, his agents prevented him from making fully informed decisions about his contract.

CAA has denied responsibility for any damages, asserting that Howard's claims are beyond the legal statute of limitations and are attempting to have the case dismissed. The agency maintains they acted appropriately in their representation.
