Iron Man actor Terrance Howard is claiming that his ex-wife Michelle Ghent tried to kill him and is framing him just hours after Ghent came forward stating that Howard physically assaulted her and now demands a restraining order.

According to the police report obtained by TMZ, Howard states that Ghent attacked him with pepper spray, and then proceeded to attack his kids and son-in-law.

Howard also stated that he has text messages proving Ghent’s threatening nature. Among the texts include : "I would start hiding if I were u,” "Be careful when u leave your place. U should move” and "I know where u and ur family live. Watch yourself."

Celebrity Gossip.net reports that Howard has also slammed the allegations of abuse speaking out to the press saying, “"Unfortunately I've tried to help people and it's not necessarily in the same enlightened path, of trying to help themselves.”

"I just wish the best for her, but as far as me harming somebody… I really can't harm a fly. It's completely against my spirit, but I'm so heartbroken, that you can see that doing it on a night like this is only for an attempt to try and hurt me," he adds.

Howard notes that his ex has tried to commit suicide twice and is concerned over her mental health.
