Chicagoans react to news that Jussie Smollett has left the city.

Somethin ain’t addin up.

Say hi to Cosby 🤣

His motive Absolute Hate JussieSmollette MOTIVE

Lies! This check was for a workout program. It SAYS RIGHT ON IT! SMDH Stand strong JussieSmollett

Hate crimes are down, but the Liberals want to tell you differently.

Wait, Jussie didn't write 'MAGA Attack Hoax' on the memo line? That's all the proof I need of his innocence. I bet all the people who accused him must feel pretty silly about now.

Oops ... jussiesmollett

JussieSmollett is crazy as hell. Hes really trying 2 pull a fast on yall. This check and his text messages dont mean shit. Dude has lost his cotton picking mind. Lol😂🤣😂

Oops ... jessiesmollett

JUSTICE4McAfee DOWNBUTNOTOUT

Masonic Initiation Noose ritual. Don't be fooled.

Wrong. He’s guilty. Moving on....

He will get an interview out of it

He's sickening because of his phony act about being mugged, but even more unreal is that he was such a dumb crook with his story that he was mugged by two blacks who put a noose around his neck. Think about it. When did black people ever advocate hanging black people?

They trolling us this all for entertainment

What do you think he is gonna do? Write in the memo part that its to finance a hate crime? Come on, ABC.

Jussie Smollett is the greatest gift to America. More and more people will now look very closely at hate crimes...critically!! Which will expose that many are hoaxes, and the truth will be known. Thanks Jussie !!!

Should JussieSmollett be sent to JAIL? 😳 all new shoptalk Watch here:

There are so many murders of African-Americans in Chicago that are unsolved. The FBI has stated that part of the case is overstated, which translates to lies. No trial has been had, but the chief, who is supposed to uphold the law, continues to publicly condemn. FreeJussie

Fake attack you mean?

So Robin, with a knowing nod...is this 'beautiful' as well?

This has to be a joke or some kind of sociology experiment.

ABC presenting the cover up for Smollett🤔? Cops obviously have other actual evidence

donlemon Don you can explain that the check was not for the assault . C'mom use some creative ideas

So he staged a racist homophobic attack and tried to blame it on white people and Trump supporters.🤔

officerdaddo How in the Hell would someone get a copy of the check if it was in evidence?

FRATURNITEAS to SOARSOARITEAS HeterOsexUal Marriage Of Updates Hazing in Hidden Agendas😔🙏🍷

Hahah people on here STILL trying to defend him. How sad.

Mary Kay Agents

😔🙏Blessings still Be with Him

kxly4news I would like to know why would someone lie about being attacked?

He’s a genius..

It was for DANCING LESSONS ONLY. Stop spreading fake news.

He's a joke. He got caught. Let's move on to more pressing matters

He paid with a check

When is ABC(D) going to apologize to Pres Trump and his supporters for knowingly pushing a lie?

Jussie is trying to play people for fools. Deny, deny, and deny until people start to believe you.

Remember when evidence was submitted during the actual court case. We might as well have twitter polls for sentencing now.

...they are finding out that this guy is a shit bag faster than Muller can find collusion...

Looking at comments, did any of you read this Have considered this a hoax from Day 1 yet this info is *huge* rebuttal. The check is for workout/fitness training. Theexts talk about...workout/fitness. This is good evidenve on Jussie's behalf, but surely more exists by CPD.

Please hold it

This just in: Jussie leaks texts to ABC to muddy the waters. We know Jussie screenshot that for you, ABC.

Will Robin Roberts report this and apologize?! 🤔NO!

Uncle

ENOUGH ALREADY!

What a difference a (D) makes! Real hate crimes against Conservatives are ignored by Liberal Hate Fake News media!

But he says he’s not guilty 🤔

Spike Lee should make a movie about this racist

Being from Chicago from day one I knew Jesse was lying about everything the white boy this seriously values his life is walking around the southside of Chicago to in the morning with make America great hats on a gallon of bleach in a noose looking to start trouble with blacks

HATE CRIME AGAINST THE PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES!🇺🇸

See....CONTINUOUS coverage on THIS, but NOTHING on the domerstic terrorist in Maryland who planned to kill folks and blow up shit. Smollet is the revolutionary element of the Dems. Arrogance of youth, radicalized by media, an unbelievably high sense of entitlement and a completely distorted concept of world history. His personal stupidity is also representative of Dem's naivete; deny reality and press on.
