Empire's Terence Howard Says He's 'Grown So Much' Since Assault Allegations

Terrence Howard takes a seat on stage for the Empire panel held during the 2015 Winter TCA Tour at the Langham Hotel on Saturday (January 17) in Pasadena, Calif.

The 45-year-old actor was joined by his co-stars Taraji P. Henson, Bryshere Gray, Jussie Smollett, and Trai Byers.

During the panel, Terrance asked to speak about celebrities facing assault allegations, including himself.

“I have grown so much from anything that happened in the past,” he said (via Deadline), adding that he expressed gratitude to Fox for not taking “any of that stuff into consideration” and looking at “the talent and the power of right now.”

Later that night, Taraji and the boys hit up the Fox Winter TCA All-Star Party where they mingled with director Lee Daniels.
