Lots of opinions... I’ll just say this... when I saw his interview last week and he said “Why would anybody make something like this up”, I thought... “that didn’t seem genuine... that looked like he was reading a script that he wasn’t prepared to read”.

Lock him up!

My guess is he'll plea gulity by reasons of insanity.

How hard was it to cover this story, npr? Shocking to FINALLY see npr cover a story with objective journalistic value. You fake journalists have no shame.

Suspicion? They have video of his buddies buying mask. It couldn’t be any clearer now.

I see OJ. He's lookin' scared.

Totally not what Jamal would do.

He and Rosanne will be in a new show next fall!

We are tired of hearing this story. Let it run its course off the air !

What victim in America is not themselves the subject to an investigation to the reason they are a victim in the first place. This might as well say we dont believe him just like we dont believe rape victims.

I blame this on Russia!!!!!

Ohhhh no.

Leftists, before: 'Death to the white racists who did this!' Leftists, now: 'Let's wait for the facts to come in.'

If this is true, WTF was he thinking?

Such a tool...

Curious if ChicagoPD posts ALL ‘Class 4’ felonies on their Twitter account.

You don’t say...how did NPR originally report this

Yeah, that's all he did, filed a false police report. He didn't have 2 guys fake a hate crime at all. He didn't do multiple network tv interviews whining about being attacked. He didn't LIE to literally everyone about being attacked, inciting even more racial unrest. trash

This is not going to be pleasant, watching a man's career and reputation go down in flames. If it's true -- and he deserves to be heard, I guess -- I just want to know: WHY?

Charges should come.

Will he pull an OJ!? JussieSmollett JussieSmollettHoax

And the saga continues 😂😂😂 JussieSmollett JussieSmollettHoax

Lock him up!

Yes, but Orange Man still bad.

Suspicion!? Just now!?

The chap should now write a book entitled... How to flush your own career down the toilet in one easy lesson

Chicago police arrest two men following alleged attack on actor Jussie Smollett“The alleged victim is being cooperative at this time and continues to be treated as the victim, not a suspect,' police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement. This misleading headline is why people call you fake news You missed a VERY important fact in your headline. Why? Two friends of Jussie's to be accurate. He's friends with them Instagram. Police got the actual phone records but didn't tell Jussie, so when he provided his edited and redacted records, they knew he was lying and what numbers he omitted that were of importance. He's toast.
