How is faking a hate crime to boost your own profile -- which is the accusation here -- on the same level as being caught with a prostitute?
Jussie used an actual real issue that minorities face on a daily basis -- hate crimes -- for his own personal gain. In turn, this makes it less likely that someone would come forward when they're a real victim.
Might want to scroll up to the Empire writer's tweet.
Its funny some yall still pretending like you know whats going down.
High profile or not, people don't have the same energy when it involves cases of people posing their lives. That's my point.
Nah, what's ignorant is you thinking people didn't do this from the beginning in the first place? You act like assholes and anyone who wants to cast doubt would need evidence to do it in the first place.
Where have you been? Are you an alien?
Nah it's easier to ascribe all the doubt and spite to one guy for his fucked up actions. Because apparently people of color shouldn't be looked at as individuals, and obviously the opinions of people, who's first reaction to hate crimes and rape accusations is to cast doubt, matters the most in those discussions.
Think about your frame of mind before you start calling people ignorant.
Jeez it sure sounds bad when you say it like that
Oh wait, you're telling me that false accusations can lead to innocent people going to jail, and that we should demonize those who make them regardless of race/sexual orientation? Miss me with that reasonable horseshit
First trump gets off
Then avenatti gets to jail
Now Smollett gets off
His lawyer potentially gong to jail for conspiracy
a dc movie gets amazing reviews
Next month: avengers end game turns out to be a bad movie ?

oooh, so he still actually lied? This shit is too damn confusing.
If he thought that way he would have stopped at the fake anthrax letter
Man, I'm not going to comment on my personal feelings about this case anymore, but there's far too much evidence against him than for him. Whatever, if he's innocent then I'm glad this is behind him. But we have seen far more guilty people in Hollywood walk out scoff free.
I guess Chicago PD has far more REAL crimes and hate crimes to deal with, including within their own force.
They offered to have the charged dropped as part of a plea and he declined even though they apparently have his ass on tape.
Seems to me like the police fabricated a bunch of the evidence behind this case.
Jussie was planning on training with the two brothers and sent them texts about that and the police spun that up into an elaborate story about him negotiating an attack on himself when they had no evidence to point to that. And people were dying-- DYING to find a way to pin this all on him.
TMZ and a bunch of lame ass armchair comedians decided to run with that narrative.
And to all the "ruined career is good enough" people, you seem to forget how forgiving Hollywood is. There are literal rapists and pedophiles that people stand up for.
So, just to be clear, this isn't saying he is innocent. Simply that they aren't pressing charges?
Post-Empire, I think he could end up on like, a show on Freeform or a SyFy original picture or something, on the strength of his notoriety alone. Frankly he was never going to be a big star anyway. He had been on Empire for what, 4-5 years and never really parlayed that into greater fame. Prior to this case most people had no idea who he was. Which is probably why he came up with this scheme in the first place.
I think you need to review the case as you clearly have the situation wrong. The brothers implicated Jussie himself.
Any proof of this?
This whole thing is just insane. lol. I wonder if he'll come back to Empire.
FOX dropped him, still own the rights to his old music which I assume are all fucked up now.
He went independent last year and flopped hard. So I mean he's basically painted himself into some irrelevance corner after this. I suppose in some wild twist he could come back, but considering Empire was literally it, I doubt it.
Exact same situation as the Mueller report.
It's crazy that nobody understands that ironically
It sounds to me like the ONLY evidence they have that Smollet was in on it is the testimony from the brothers... so is "he said she said".
Who's to say they didn't set him up on their own, and use the MAGA disguise in an attempt to throw investigators off of their own scent? Then when they got caught they claimed he was in on it.
As crazy as that sounds, the whole story is bananas, so...

So the most likely scenario is that the cops did cop things that they always do because they really wanted to catch OJ Simpson again.
So even if Smollet faked the attack, the cops couldn't help it with their cop asses and did something asinine as cops usually do. Only this time, the cops got caught with their hands in the cop jar.

Why would they charged the brothers tf, they were not the ones who planed the attack they just took part in it.
