Farrah Franklin Says “NOTHING Romantic” Happened With Terrence Howard Despite Claims He Passed on Beyonce to Date Her

Terrence Howard may not have said both the names of Destiny’s Child ‘Say My Name‘ hitmakers Beyonce and Farrah Franklin in a recent interview, but it didn’t take much of a detective to figure out who he was talking about in the viral clip.

Now, the latter is breaking her silence on the matter.

As has been making its rounds on social media, the former ‘Empire‘ star recently made headlines for telling a story about how he passed on the opportunity to date Bey earlier in her career.

“I had a chance to date Beyoncé early on,” the 57-year-old shared with ‘The PBD Podcast‘ (as seen above). “We had a conversation, you know, and I ended up talking to the other girl inside of, you know, Destiny [’s Child]. The girl with the blue eyes.”

He even went on to say he believes the mega diva picked him during that unforgettable, ‘Cater 2 U‘ 2005 BET Awards lap dance as a form of revenge for passing on her.

“I remember Beyoncé looking over at me, and I think that’s why she picked me to do that dance, when she did the kind of strip tease dance that we did at BET or whatever, to show me what I had lost,” he said.

Farrah doesn’t quite remember it like that, however.

Taking to PEOPLE magazine, Franklin – who was a member of Destiny’s Child in the early 2000’s before the group permanently became a trio – offered her version of events.

“I’m Farrah with the natural green eyes (not Blue lol), and I can confirm that Terrence and I had a few friendly outings—nothing romantic,” she said before relaying, “I won’t speculate on anything else that was said, and as always, I wish everyone well and remain focused on my own journey.”

As of time of this report, Howard has not responded to Farrah’s statement nor has Bey responded to any of the hoopla.
