Dwight Howard is accusing his wife, Amber Howard, also known as Amy Luciani, of lying about her fertility and damaging his reputation.
In court documents obtained by TMZ, the former NBA star requested a protective order against Amber, alleging their relationship had been troubled for years before he filed for divorce. Howard accuses Amber of launching a “crusade of lies and defamation” against him, saying her alleged statements cost him professional opportunities.
Howard also alleged that Amber spread false information about him to his relatives, friends, and the mothers of his children and that she also made false statements about him to the cops.
He says Amber has “a history of lying and manipulating” him and claimed she knew she could not have children but “denied that fact and actively lied about” it, and that his public claim that he used cocaine harmed his work prospects. According to Harden, he has never used cocaine a day in his life.
Days later, the former Orlando Magic center and Amber reached an agreement to stay at least 100 yards away from each other and avoid harassing each other on social media. Howard was granted sole use of his Georgia mansion and agreed to pay Amber $10,000 to help her move.
He denies all allegations made against him.
