Michelle, who filed for divorce in February, states that the Hustle & Flow star punched her, threw her down and even chipped her tooth with his wedding ring. On one occasion he shouted, "I'll hit a woman quicker than I'd hit a man."

Michelle even referenced Breaking Celebrity News in her successful application for the restraining order, noting that we’d published a threatening message Howard had left on the voicemail of a total stranger.

As we exclusively revealed, the Oscar-nominated actor left a message on a stranger's voicemail on August 31, in which he identifies himself before going off on an angry tirade about the stranger calling his wife.
