The Blast also reports Terrence has asked the courts to remove a hearing he had on the calendar related to he and Michelle’s case because any information may incriminate him and Mira in the criminal case. As his lawyer explained;

“ClearIy‚ [Terrence]’s income, what he did or did not do with it, and any actions allegedly taken by third parties and/organizations with regard to [Terrence]’s income are relevant to a criminal investigation related to [Terrence]’s taxes. Moreover‚ any information regarding [Terrence]’s income and ability to pay is directly related to the criminal investigation. [Terrence] and Mira Howard reasonably believe that the answers to any questions with regard to the [Michelle]’s allegations against [Terrence] and [Michelle]’s relief sought in this matter may tend to incriminate him or her in the criminal investigation.”

But Michelle isn’t trying to hear any of this because she’s claiming that he’s using the criminal case to avoid paying her what she’s owed.

Michelle claims Terrence is taking things a step further by “attempting to make use of his own criminal conduct to shield himself” from her attempts to enforce the judgment.

She argues, “[I]t appears to be Terrence’s contention that because he has managed to get himself into trouble with the federal authorities this somehow prevents this Court from ruling” on her request.

Michelle’s legal team believe his criminal case has nothing to do with her and Michelle’s case and want to proceed as planned. Looks like Terrence is going to be spending those last Empire checks as soon as they hit his account to pay for all his legal issues.
