Dwight And Amy’s Dispute Caught On Cam
Dwight Howard and his wife, whose real name is Amber Rose Howard, are at the center of newly released body cam footage. The video shows the estranged couple exchanging tense words during an incident at their Georgia mansion.
According to footage obtained by TMZ, Amy was seen waiting outside the front gate on March 6, telling officers Dwight had locked her out — something she claims happens often. She also revealed that police have been called to the home multiple times within the past year.
As previously reported, the situation appears to tie into previously released 911 audio, where Amy alleged that Dwight kicked her out of the house. She also told officers that CPS had taken Dwight’s daughter from a previous relationship the night before. Amy also claimed that Dwight was upset with her for not defending him. However, Dwight’s rep denies that CPS was ever involved.
Dwight Claims Amy Put Family At Risk
Things escalated when Dwight eventually came outside with his son and two men. Amy says he had just met the men days earlier through a “celebrity numbers” app and hired them on the spot. During the interaction, Dwight pulled an officer aside and had his son share his version of events, claiming he tried to avoid Amy due to her yelling. Dwight also alleged that his daughter’s mother and Amy have “teamed up” against him. He also accused them of trying to damage his reputation and family.
The NBA star went on to tell officers he’s officially retiring from basketball. Additionally, he claimed that Amy had been provoking him ahead of a major upcoming ceremony. He also made a serious allegation about one of his dogs passing away while under Amy’s care, citing negligence. Dwight ultimately told officers he fears for his safety and his son’s well-being, adding, “Something has to be done.”
Couple Apparently Feuds Over Canceled TV Deal
The drama continues to unfold as Amy claims Dwight made her financially dependent on him. She alleges that he discouraged her from continuing her run on ‘Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta,’ leaving her without savings. She also alleges the couple had secured a $1 million-each TV deal. But, Amy claims that Dwight abruptly canceled it via email without her knowledge. Sources close to him dispute her claims, saying the deal wasn’t solid and denying he used money as leverage. They also alleged that her time on the VH1 show had already become inconsistent — setting the stage for what could be a larger legal battle if the two can’t reach an agreement.
