County Superior Court -- claiming Michelle inexplicably turned from a \"loving, gentle\" person ... into a monster ... who once threatened to have him killed by some violent Russians. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the docs, Howard notes Michelle is NOT black -- and claims that when she would get upset, she would scream things like, \"[I] never wanted to marry a n**ger in the first place\" and \"[I] definitely didn't want to be the step mother of some n**ger kids.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As TMZ first reported, Howard claims Michelle &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2011/12/06/terrence-howard-wife-restraining-order-michelle-ghent-threats\"&gt;is trying to extort him&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; over private recordings she allegedly stole from his personal computer -- and in the new docs, T.H. alleges his wife threatened to have him \"clipped\" if he went to police. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Howard says his wife once bragged, \"I have a lot of Russian friends who would do it as a favor.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Howard also claims Michelle has jealousy issues -- and TWICE attacked him with a bottle after accusing Howard of talking with other women. Howard claims he never struck back. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terrence has asked the court to issue a restraining order against Michelle. A hearing is set for January 17. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We reached out to Michelle's lawyer -- so far, no response.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
