Terrence Howard agreed to a 2012 divorce settlement with his ex-wife Michelle Ghent because he was afraid she would leak private details about his sex life, his attorney said during opening statements at a hearing involving the actor's efforts to overturn the agreement.
The Oscar-nominated actor and star of the hit television series Empire is expected to testify during the proceeding, which may take two days.
The first witness, the actor's sister-in-law Yvonne Howard, testified that a sex tape of Mr Howard was allegedly used to extort him.
It allegedly showed having sex with a woman and another woman filmed them, according to TMZ.
Howard's attorney Brian Kramer said he would play an audio recording of Ghent making the threat and present other evidence that would show she engaged in 'heavy-handed acts of extortion and blackmail.'
Ghent's lawyers say she denied the allegations during a deposition.
Ghent has accused Howard of domestic violence and is also seeking money she says is owed under their divorce settlement.
