Overview
- Dwight Howard dropped the temporary protective order Wednesday, his attorney said, as both sides seek to resolve their divorce on cooperative terms.
- A Georgia judge had granted a temporary order on April 7 that kept Amber Howard, also known as rapper Amy Luciani, 100 yards from Howard, his home, two of his children, and their school.
- Howard’s filing said Amber came to his home on April 5 and threatened him, and it included a checked box alleging a threat with a weapon, which she has firmly denied.
- Amber Howard called the original order false and said she viewed it as retaliation meant to silence her after she spoke about problems in the marriage.
- Howard’s lawyer said dropping the order is common in divorces as parties shift from short-term protections to negotiating final terms, and she asked for privacy as the case proceeds.
