According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Howard’s company is suing 20th Century Fox Film Corporation for breach of contract. In the docs, Universal Bridges, which is run by his current fiancé Mira Howard — says Fox agreed to pay Howard through the loan-out company for his work on the hit show. Although they’ve paid him in the past, apparently, Fox recently stopped.
Now, despite the money issue, the committed actor has continued to show up to work. However, his company accuses Fox of failing to pay him for the last three produced episodes “even though it was contractually obligated to do so,” the news site reports. Universal Bridges now wants the court to order Fox to pay Howard the money he is owed for those episodes as well as his attorney fees.
The big paychecks issue appears to stem from Howard’s ex-wife, Michelle Ghent, attempting to collect on $1.3 million owed to her.
