Actor Terrence Howard has come forward with claims that music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs made an inappropriate advance during a meeting years ago, alleging that the now-indicted entertainer may have attempted to initiate a sexual encounter.

Howard detailed the experience during an interview on The PBD Podcast with entrepreneur Patrick Bet-David.

In the interview, Howard said Combs had invited him several times under the pretense of seeking help with acting.

“Puffy invited me for weeks, asking me to come and teach him how to, you know — wanted me to be his acting coach,” Howard said.

According to Howard, the two eventually met in person, but the interaction did not unfold as expected.

Howard said Combs was “sitting around, just looking” at him.

“And I’m like, ‘Okay, what’s the material you want to work on?’ And he’s just looking at me,” Howard explained.

He added that Combs responded by saying, “I want to hear your music.”

Howard continued, “So I come over there and I’m playing the music, and he’s sitting there, just looking at me, like, waiting.”

Following the meeting, Howard said his assistant relayed a concern.

“My assistant told me, ‘He wants to hang out with you next week,’” Howard said.

“And I was like, ‘For what?’ He’s like, ‘I think he’s trying to f**k you.’ That’s what my assistant said, and I was like, ‘Oh, okay, now I get it.’”

Howard noted that after that exchange, he ended communication with Combs.

“So now, no more communication. Now you know to be hands off with somebody,” he said.

The Hustle & Flow actor also claimed the situation extended beyond Combs.

He alleged that other producers attempted to make similar advances.

“A number of producers come in to make the approach,” Howard said, adding that his response was to issue physical warnings.

“To punch them in the mouth or threaten to knock their head off for talking to you or looking at you like you’re a woman.”

“When you approach a real man about his masculinity, you’re going to get a real reaction back,” Howard said.

The interview comes at a time when Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing mounting legal and criminal trouble.

Combs has been incarcerated since September 16, following a federal indictment involving a wide range of charges.

These include sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, kidnapping, forced labor, arson, bribery, obstruction of justice, and coercion.

In addition to the federal indictment, two law firms—The Buzbee Law Firm and the AVA Law Group—announced in October that they would be filing a minimum of 120 lawsuits on behalf of individuals accusing Combs, his associates, and other connected parties of criminal conduct.

Since that announcement, numerous lawsuits have been filed in batches, with new legal actions continuing to surface in recent months.

The legal developments follow years of allegations and investigations into Combs and his business dealings, with increasing scrutiny from law enforcement and civil attorneys.
