Smollett, 36, a black, openly gay actor on the hip-hop TV drama “Empire,” was charged with lying to police last month after he said he was attacked in January by two masked men who shouted racist and homophobic slurs. Detectives investigated the incident as a hate crime but local news outlets cited police sources saying it was believed to be a hoax.
He said an internal investigation had begun as part of standard procedure for allegations of information leaks. The actor was arrested on Feb. 21 and charged with filing a false police report after detectives said he staged the hoax hate crime attack to boost his fame because he was unhappy with his salary on the show. He was later released on bail.
The only leaks are probably the ones he orchestrated. No one's job should be threatened because of Smollett's recklessness which could have cost innocent people their lives.
and this is how is works. The cops become the bad guy in all of this. Flip the script.
he looks more beat up in that picture than after his hoax lmao
Wasting even more man-hours not spent in investigating the murders of dozens of people...
🤣🤣🤣
