Terrence Howard Launches Podcast to Expose Hollywood
Terrence Howard announced plans to release an explosive podcast exposing what he calls the “seedy underbelly” of Hollywood, promising to reveal industry secrets and “shady transactions” from his decades-long career. The Oscar-nominated actor described the forthcoming show as “a studio’s nightmare and every actor’s wet dream” during an April 17, 2025 interview.
The Empire star’s podcast will tackle his ongoing legal battle with Creative Artists Agency (CAA), which he accuses of pressuring him to accept lower compensation for his role on Empire. Howard intends to address alleged misconduct by major entertainment entities including Disney and Fox, focusing on power structures rather than targeting fellow celebrities.

Controversial Claims About Industry Figures
Howard’s podcast announcement follows his controversial appearance on the PBD Podcast, where he made startling allegations about Sean “Diddy” Combs. The actor claimed Combs repeatedly invited him for acting coaching sessions, during which the mogul would merely “sit” and “look” without engaging, according to EURweb.
When Howard’s assistant suggested “I think he’s trying to f–k you,” the actor reportedly severed all contact with Combs. These accusations add weight to Howard’s broader claims about Hollywood’s predatory behavior.
The actor asserted he has faced career consequences for refusing inappropriate advances, stating “I’ve lost businesses because I don’t bend over in that way.”
Legal Battles Shape Podcast Content
Central to Howard’s upcoming revelations is his lawsuit against CAA, claiming the agency manipulated his Empire salary negotiations. “Everybody in showbiz is terrified of the powers that be, but I’m not afraid — I’ve got nothing to lose,” Howard told TMZ.
The podcast will detail what Howard calls “business betrayals” and questionable dealings throughout his career, dating back to his breakthrough in Hustle & Flow. He plans to expose high-level industry practices while avoiding celebrity gossip.
Entertainment powerhouses Disney and Fox feature prominently in Howard’s planned exposés, particularly regarding his treatment on Empire’s set.

Public Reception Divides Between Support and Concern
Social media response to Howard’s announcement reflects mixed reactions. Some fans express support, with one commenter stating “I’ll be tuned into that podcast… pray nothing happens to him,” while others question the timing of his revelations.
Critics point to Howard’s history of controversial statements regarding science and personal philosophy, suggesting skepticism about his credibility. According to Soap Central, some wonder why Howard is announcing rather than simply releasing the podcast.
Entertainment industry insiders note the potential impact of Howard’s revelations, particularly given current scrutiny of Hollywood power dynamics.
Scientific Controversies Cast Shadow
Howard’s credibility faces challenges stemming from his unconventional scientific claims. Known for asserting that one times one equals two and promoting a system called The Lynchpin, the actor presented to Ugandan officials about “new hydrogen technology” in July 2022.
He claims to have discovered the “grand unified field equation” and developed technology that can clean oceans and protect nations using advanced drones. These scientific assertions have led some to question the veracity of his entertainment industry allegations.
Despite criticism, Howard maintains his podcast will focus on verifiable industry practices rather than theoretical concepts.

Industry Impact Looms as Release Nears
As Howard finalizes his podcast preparation, entertainment executives brace for potential fallout. The actor promises candid discussions about power dynamics without fear of repercussions, positioning himself as an industry whistleblower.
The podcast’s launch timing coincides with increased scrutiny of entertainment industry practices, following numerous high-profile scandals. Howard’s willingness to challenge established power structures could trigger broader conversations about systemic issues.
While no official release date has been announced, Howard emphasizes the show will arrive soon, potentially reshaping discussions about Hollywood accountability and transparency.
