Howard, 56, best known for his roles in Crash (2004), Iron Man (2008), Empire, and, er, Madonna’s “Ghost Town” music video (2015). He appeared on the PBD Podcast.

He began by berating men who attended parties hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs back in the day. Combs is currently awaiting trial on multiple charges. He denies any wrongdoing. 

“When you give up your manhood, I’ve never seen somebody recover from it. That was all the people that went to the Puffy parties,” Howard said. “That was all the people that did all those things thinking that there was never gonna be a consequence for what they were doing. Get punked out and p*mped out by some over-greater desire.”

Howard went on to say he refused to play gay roles because he feared losing his “man card”.

“I’ve lost businesses because I don’t bend over in that way. I don’t compromise. I don’t play gay roles. I don’t kiss a man. I don’t do that s**t because the man card means everything.”

Wilson Cruz responds

Among those who reacted to Howard’s words was the actor Wilson Cruz from Star Trek: Discovery.

Cruz reshared a video of Howard on PBD and said, “He sure did talk a different talk and act in a different way when it came to working with me in the 90’s. Loved my work, loved my choices, etc. This fool is out here performing for the WHYTE man, doing and saying what he needs to do to get over. He is quite literally BENDING OVER and doing what pleases THE MAN and he seems to enjoy it. 

“The truth is no one wants to work with his tired a**, anyway, due to his ego and lack of work ethic, so quite literally, Go f*ck yourself. You are the sellout here.”

Cruz also tagged Howard in his Instagram Stories when he shared a post by The Feminist Vibe that reads, “Maybe you wouldn’t feel so emasculated by feminism if your manhood was rooted in something other than oppressing women,” signing it “Sincerely, Real Men.”
