BREAKING: A grand jury in Chicago indicts 'Empire' actor Jussie Smollett on 16 felony counts for allegedly falsely reporting that he was the victim of a racist, homophobic attack.

En esta foto del 20 de mayo del 2016, el actor y cantante Jussie Smollett asiste a un evento de "Empire" en Los Angeles.

CHICAGO — A grand jury in Chicago indicted “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett on 16 felony counts related to making a false report that he was attacked by two men who shouted racial and homophobic slurs.Smollett was charged on Feb. 20 with one count of disorderly conduct for filing a false police report.

Smollett told police in late January that he was physically attacked by two men in downtown Chicago while out getting food from a Subway restaurant at 2 a.m. The actor said the men shouted at him, wrapped a rope around his neck and poured an “unknown substance” on him.

After an investigation, Chicago police said Smollett recruited two men to stage the attack because he was upset with his pay on the Fox show. Smollett has denied playing a role in the attack.

“Allegedly?” I don’t think that word means what you think it means.

'Allegedly'

allegedly now? haha. you people are pitiful

He will get off easy

So you do know about the word 'allegedly.' Pretty fu*king interesting.

“Allegedly” - great journalisming or whatever

Idiot.

Nice how it wasn’t alleged when he claimed he got beat up....nice 2 face job

Allegedly? You know we were all here then, right? We saw the news, we saw the interviews. He most decidedly reported that he was a victim of this attack. ‘Member “This is MAGA country” & the rope? You remember the rope, right ? We do.

The ruling is indicative of an extremely compromised justice system— Racism isn’t the only problem. Just when you thought it’s ok to get yours and move on, we learn we must do better!! Unacceptable!!

MORON. That's all I will say.

He wanted attention..... ok he got it

Should he able to work on his art skills in jail.

Nice that once the tables have flipped the AP has reintroduced the word ‘allegedly’

Will Fake News Media cover this?

There is no “alleged”.. it is a fact.

Clown.

The repeatedly cited his story as an “attack” - not “alleged attack”. But, now that this hoax has been exposed, it’s “allegedly false reporting”?!? This is why is FakeNews

truth will be hidden. hrc’s attorney representing this liar. interesting. imo

Allegedly....AP is a fucking hilarious fakenews joke

SolomonSyed He should get max if these charges r proven! JussieSmollett By the way why isn’t story about Ilhan IlhanMN being negative on BarackObama not lead story anywhere? Heck-I gave her 2-3 months b4 she says wrong thing-took 24hrs lol will only get worse w her marklevinshow

Good.

ByeBye idiot

Now its allegedly?

RobinRoberts Mmmm? Beautiful, yes? JussieSmollett

I noticed you say “allegedly” here but never mentioned he was “allegedly” attacked. Why is that exactly?

Dude 26 & California waiting on you, cosa Buena!!!

Smooth move. How's that career doing?

Allegedly falsely? Jeez you people suck at the truth

Are any of these 16 charges not legitimate? He still insists he's innocent, BTW.

LMFAO, 'they hate me cause I come hard at 45'

douchebag

SchmittNYC GRRAT!

Obviously his crimes are far worse than those that Manafort committed.

Lol now you guys like the word allegedly, huh?

SchmittNYC Pelosi...Kamala...Brooks to the rescue!!!!

Won’t serve a day

this is ridiculous overkill. He did something really stupid, he's killed his career & reputation & maybe he should be charged with making a false statement etc but this level of response is purely vindictive

Silence from the Liberals.

In the case of JussieSmollett, reporting a false racist & homophobic attack should carry the same sentence as one who actually conducting those attacks. The crimes are equally as serious, and possibly more so. Racebaiters should also be punished as co-conspirators. DemsLie

This is nothing more than an example of corrupt police framing an innocent man. justiceforjussie

It seems his actor role got the better of him. We everything that is happening in the world what made him think he would get away with such thing? Who was advising him? I hope it wasn't cookie.

..When is AP report about JussieSmollett's connections?! 🤔🙄👇

Damn, so he's lookin at a minimum of 20 hours of community service.

What propels a person to do something like this? This is not about money-he seems to have some serious issues...really sad

It just doesn’t get much lower than this. SMH

is losing CREDIBILITY at the speed of light!

I don’t get why this famous actor did a wrong action

lisajyarde Hmm well He will be the Center of Attention in Jail / Prison. Especially if He walks in waving His Arms Yelling HAAAYYY ! Oh will He purposely drop the soap in the Showers?

lisajyarde Will He want to drop the Soap in the Shower 🤔? 😂😆🤣

JussieSmollett Idiot.

Manafort: lied and stole money from IRS through tax crimes Armed Robbery: Min 5yrs Hate crimes: Range 1-10 years +fines if there was bodily harm Smollett: lied about hate crime and bodily harm So by this standard...

We won’t forget the target of his fake assault, Trump supporters. Many more felony convictions for lefties who try this until noon on Jan 20, 2025. Defense lawyers for the left are going to be real busy for a long while.

THIS IS MAGA COUNTRY

That indictment in itself is a racist, homophobic attack.

This Instagram post from Jan 23rd didn't age well 🤣😂🤣

16 counts. Wow prosecutors in America are a joke

I still have no idea who this is. And I think I don’t care. Terrible what he did, though, well allegedly did.

AP just found out about the word 'allegedly'.

“Allegedly”?

Jail time, good bye career

He’s guilty of at least 7 Manaforts

Chodesucking Liar!

What are the Vegas odds he gets more than 47 months?

Mrsmmtbeauty 🤣

At the same time an internal investigation of the CPD and the hospital for false reports due to lack of evidence that he actually faked it

Role of a lifetime

Cool, he can be cellmates with R. Kelly and play Spades with Bill Cosby...

I bet they were all wearing MAGA hats.

That was quick. Hey Jussie, see if you can extradite out of state so you can get manaforts judge. Haven’t you lead blameless live up to now?

Really? 16 counts? The injustice.

How many felony counts do the cops who kill unarmed black men get?

I wish he gave an interview as to how this could happen

What he did is not a simple crime. He involved the criminal justice system ,air time And reporters. He. cost this country a ton of money.

And he will get more prison time than Paul Manafort.

well at least he likes taking it up the ass so he will OK...

“Jussie Smollett” Got 16 counts, But DT& his gang got less counts 4Pretending 2Not Be Russian Assets that Dismantle Democracy&An Entire Country/Overthrowing the Govt. &Stealing $30Million gets u less than 4yrs/So Jussie Smollett must be getting probation😼

But Manafort gets 4 years for basically fucking an election. Ok.

Good! This shit needs to stop!

Bet he won't get 47 months😞

Where Al Fraud Sharpton on this?

16, holy crap

JussieSmollett Staging a hate crime, well how did that work out for you?You went from making $100,000 to making zero dollars. Very foolish move.This is what happens when you get greedy. No money and no show.The only thing that you accomplished was hurting the LGBTQ community

Why is this even being compared to manafort. He won’t get that much time. But he potentially could of put two ppl in jail that was just walking the street. Think about that.

So he “allegedly” falsified an attack, but the reporting of the initial attack was never an “alleged” attack.

Notice how the AP now uses the word allegedly despite the fact on multiple occasions where they didn’t in the initial reporting of his “attack”. Interesting isn’t it.

This is bad and sad and maybe lots of other things.

'allegedly', LOL

Pathetic. All of it.

No. 15 minute abs!

Bank fraud wire fraud make fraud I mean cmon idiots

Will he get more than 47 months? 🤔

Por pendejo

Only 16 counts

Would be interested in hearing his supporters “excuse” for his actions. Does not matter if he gets time or not. He tried to accuse so many in his evil scheme. What will happen to his lawyer?

Imagine that

How's Harvey's case going. Watch it y'all I have a feeling Harvey Weinstein is going to get a slap on the wrist. While we keep burying Jussie.

They indicted him for falsely reporting a crime, not “allegedly” falsely reporting it.

MaxineSykes Pathetic waste of time.Throw the book at him but no jail time just fine him for malicious and stupid behavior.

You seem to have found that word “allegedly” again

I hope someone checks out TS Ellis Court cases and see how cases compare in black and white.

....'six--teeen....scandleesss'....😐🤔😯 😃😄😅😁😂😅😃😂😅😂😂

You think he will get more than 47 months?

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Blame it on HOMOphobia. Lol

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Maybe when he gets locked up he really WILL BECUM a victim

If true, the damage this man has done is insane.

Enough said...

He’ll get more time than Manafort. He’s still a dumb ass, but the system is broken nonetheless.

Of coarse And Manafort gets 4

good riddance

It was his fault 🤷🏾‍♀️

JussieSmollett

My my how his life has changed.

Not “allegedly false reporting,” just false reporting.

Jussie, in a failed attempt to boost his career, has buried himself.. It's sad that he felt he needed to go to this extreme to get attention.

Playing games with law enforcement, especially in Chicago, where real violence happens all too often, is reprehensible. He's receiving the charges he deserves. He will most likely plead out, but the precedent will be set for anyone attempting to fake a hate crime. FridayFeeling

Don’t care... just report real news with facts..

ADOS

growingaway What he did wasn’t funny, but I think the 16 indictments certainly are. Nice work Chicago for holding him accountable.

I hope he don’t beat himself up over it...🤷🏼‍♀️

You can stop using the word ‘allegedly’ now, no 🙄 BadReporting

does anybody think that the sheriff’s just scared the two Nigerians into a random confession? apparently they questioned the two over an hour. apparently their attorneys had to walk in and out repeatedly.

'allegedly'

Allegedly? Really?

Why is it now that he’s in trouble he’s that one guy from Santa Rosa but before he was that one guy from that show you never watch?

And Manafort gets 47 months for treason. Wonder what Jussie will serve?

Does he pay for the law enforcement man-hours wasted? chiraq could have used collective time/effort/knowledge for real victims.

He deserves it but why is it that black people or people of color always get the hardest end of the boot?

I predict👉Jussie Smollett will be convicted and given a harsher sentence than manafort!

Too bad He won't get His Judge!!!!!

Steps to human gardens: field preparation seeding/planting care chemicals big pharma water air education big tech generated behavior... also, Research... TheGreatAwakening WWG1WGAWORLDWIDE QAnon

He’s going to do time for sure

Jackass

Throw the book at him.

breaking as ap learntocope

Its falling apart for the agendas. You can't make this up. What happens if he was believed? Riots? Race wars? Protests? This is how the left is playing dangerously. Keep it up, it opens eyes of Americans

You get what you deserve.

Indict the POTUS already.

Manafort whataboutism

“AlLeGeDlY” JussieSmollettHoax

America hates him back.

Actor Jussie Smollett is exactly that...an ACTOR And a piece of shit. LockJussieUp

Jussie Smollett you must have forgot about technology it's a shame to be so involved and so dumb

'allegedly' but has 16 felony charges hmmmmm

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

Thought he was Unhappy about his Salary before 🤔🤔, wait until he sees it through a magnifying glass in the future

Couldn't happen to a better guy.

jailbird

Execute please

One lie and he will face more time than Paul manafort. WhitePrivilege

He’s really a sick guy...

Lock him up!

Bury his ass.

It would be really ironic if he was sentenced to lynching.

I he did a massive amount of damage in many ways, but there is no way he should go behind bars for more than a year or two. Three at the most

He's getting much more attention than he ever bargained for!!

And Manafort gets a sweetheart deal. Makes sense. 🙄

What the hell is a Jussie Smollett hoax is that like the momo challenge? Asking for a friend

Jussie...whew

He will probably get more time than Manafort. Smh

What a poor excuse for a human being!

Great news!

A rapidly melting snowflake.

Now being the federal charges for that fake letter he mailed himself😂

TheDemocrats everyone needs to make sure this indictment against the backdrop of the manafort sentencing is never forgotten as further proof of institutional racism and corruption in our legal system TheResistance

YAY!!!! justiceserved

'indicted on 16 felony counts for 'allegedly falsely' reporting that he was the victim of a racist homophobic attack.' LOL WTF

Good. Hope he gets jail time.

Good.

Let’s see his sentence verses Manaforts

Allegedly? Nice joke! Just like your reporting.

Lol 🌈

I have one question. Was it worth it Jussie?

He should get the chair

He really didn't need to do this, he had it all 😐

KanyeofOld Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great news but aint this a MFer we cant even hang this pos because his 'hoax' got Kamalas lynching bill through......ill settle for firing squad.........by the way y'all got any of them phone records? whodidJussiecall?

What role did Kamala play in this? She needs some felony indictments, too.

Lock him up!

We all know Manafort got 4 years....I cannot even imagine what they'll give JussieSmollett ...

'Allegedly false' when there's video footage, accomplices who admit to staging the attack with physical evidence, and the police and a grand jury believe there's enough evidence to indict. no bias here, no siree

Pretty good, the brothers he hired are sorry, and this maggot is denying it.

No worries. JessieSmollett will get the best lawyers QueenLatifah can afford. .IAMQUEENLATIFAH

This fucker hasn’t even been terminated from Empire.

that's why u don't....LIE'

I guess innocent till proven guilty is out the window based on these comments

Well. stick him in the gay pen...

A better headline would include, “ Obama supporter, Trump hater, alleged bigot, hate crime of the year”

Here’s the smoking gun proof

This is why you DON'T by default just 'believe' the 'victim'...people lie all the time.. He is just the most high profile person to get caught...

ToniBinAL1

Wouldn't it be ironic if he serves more time than Manafort! White lady put noose around 'baby's' neck got probabtion for 10 years. 12 year old black child selling CD's 'got aggressive' with police and is being charged as an adult. Justice system should be on trial....

:D

Think he gets more than 47 months?

He can be a guest on the Love Boat reboot....

He’s gonna get footlongs in the big house.....but they won’t be from Subway......

He'll get more time than PaulManafort

Headlines4You LockTheLiarUp

I wonder if he'll get 47 months time served🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Watch him get like 6x the years of Manafort

Throw the book at this douche

You forgot...by Trump supporters

I want a follow up interview but with Gale King this time.

Greed can be a killer of hopes and dreams, but not for the rich and powerful.

They're gonna make him lotion up his skin and wax his asshole as a mandatory for him being their bitch.. Wait for the Whites to get a hold of him... LOL prison gonna turn him out if he isnt protected

Better not get more then 47 months

Haha

Fraud

Spill the beans, Jussie!

47 months or nah?

Good! Throw his now-unemployed ass in prison!

Bull shit! While the devils are doing evil. Stop changing narrative.

Perhaps he has a different experience in the use of words.

16 counts?!?!? For lying?!?! It’s people in the world out here making false police statements everyday and none of them are getting indicted.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha....he is a giant piece of shit!

Whew, sorry I'm late. Did any body say 'bet he gets more time than Manafort' yet? Damn, I was trying to get out early but you know how that go.

Dude change your name to Paul Manafort like now!

blackarcheology He'll get more than Manafort, won't he?

Figures, the leftists are turning this into a debate about the Manfort sentencing. Trump should be magnanimous and kill the federal investigation and issue a pardon.

He’ll get more prison time than Manafort who got paid by political groups actively working to destabilize NATO member nation governments and a free Ukraine.

If he gets more jail time than Mannafort for beating himself up, i'm done.

squints82 16 counts..!!! Holy c.......p! If he is convicted, he should definitely go to jail...! What he did was wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong!

He won’t get 47 months that’s for sure

About time equal justice surfaces in our Nation....

He must really like prison sex.

The incident + every time they framed him

Lying mentally deranged piece of shit. It was terribly obvious as soon as he started spewing his story that it was a fabrication. Delighted he's actually being brought to justice.

Stupid has no limits.

Can we indict the media for pushing the story, next?

Geeze. He really fcked up.

FRY HIS ASS... This should be prosecuted as severely as a real perpetrator would have been sentenced to if an actual crime had been committed. This a HATE CRIME

Typical Democrat. Using one's hate to falsely accuse innocent people of hate for one's own personal, financial, and/or political gain.

Should get more time than Manafort

Will he do more time than Manafort?

The media will call a homophobe a homophone and rightfully so but they won’t call a MAGAphobe a MAGAphobe. Jussie Smollett is a MAGAphobe.

What say you IAMQUEENLATIFAH

Trump broke him. 🙄

Good this lying POS did so much harm and all these liberal demoRATS pounced calling this a modern day lynching. Cory Booker, Maxine Waters and “bang your way to the top” Kamela Harris - could you imagine any of them in the White House? They hate whites and want to promote racism!

MAGA = My Ass Got Arrested

Who wants to be he gets more prison time than Manafort?

His back door is gonna get pounded on.

Totally forgot about him

Herring_NBA I'll be so glad when they bury this punk

jodyvance Wager if convicted he gets more jail time than Mansfort

In psychology a person who has a martyr complex, sometimes associated with the term victim complex, desires the feeling of being a martyr for their own sake, seeking out suffering or persecution because it either feeds a psychological need or a desire to avoid responsibility.

That poor guy. Gets attacked, beat up, almost killed and now this. Where’s the justice in this country!

What a shame he would do something so counter to what ppl are working so hard to fix. He has set back a lot of those efforts for personal gain, greed. It seems to be a trend these days.

Odds that JussieSmollett serves more time than Manafort?

I suspect some prison style anal in his future.

YEEEEESSSSS!

Was the crime worth the punishment JussieSmollett? Your hateful actions have consequences. Think on that, you'll have plenty of time. Chicago_Police did the right thing. Now step up EmpireFOX

I bet the judge won’t toss out the sentencing guidelines to cut Mr. Smollett a break because he lived an “otherwise blameless life”.

Imagine how many people are in jail right now , because someone falsified a report and they did not have a legal defense fund tucked away.

He will blame drugs, alcohol, poor upbringing, yada yada. Then all will be forgiven.

Yowza!

Good!

Staging your owned attack & telling lies to police to get sympathy and a pay raise you get 16 felony indictments. Conspiring with a major foreign enemy to help manipulate Americans to vote for you, to removed sanctions and other favors. You get 53 senate republican co-conspirator

How embarrassing

Hope he enjoyed that Subway sandwich. No eating fresh in prison.

Good

Congratulations now we all know who you are.

Don't drop the soap homie!

Sorry but if you trust the Chicago police here you’re not paying attention.

Just lock him up for making us all look bad for personal gain.

Don't forget he also sent a letter to himself the first time and that's carries a felony charge of mail fraud

he's gonna have some real good company when he takes a shower in prison

I believe he should also be charged with a hate crime

He'll get a therealroseanne verdict now, right? Right? Cause fair is fair, fair in Hollyweird. whitepeople MAGA racist

😂😂😂😂

yesitismine Just one of many hate hoaxes. 👇

list the charges!

He gonna get more than 47 months

Butt, of course I’m innocent!

... OK ... arrest him, put him in orange obscurity and let's go on to the next leftie to make a phony claim ... gawd has there been a lot of them lately ...

How about an apology from JS? He put DJT supporters in danger and hurt our country. How about an apology from the media? They endlessly pushd the ‘Trump supporters are racists’ narrative & Maga hats are evil. This shit ain’t good for OUR Country! And none of it is or was true.

Good. Aren't there enough REAL hate crimes in the world without this asshole manufacturing one for his benefit?

Manafort got 3 years..Jussie will probably get 30.

Hahahaha holy shit.

I suppose his Democrat fans with claim the grand jury is racist. Hopefully there will be justice for all true Americans that support our great President.

He'll get lots of the attention he was looking for in jail.

Is he still gonna get that raise?

This is what 'Trump Hate' gets you.

Who wants to wager he will get more time than Manafort?

Reprehensible doesn't even begin to come close. The Media won't touch, isn't touching the societal damage that will result from the actions of this one man. JussieSmollet

Jessie19688 Let lawyers take all his money and leave him in the gutter where he belongs.

This must be so confusing to Jessie. He was just doing what the MSM have been doing for years now. Accusing Trump (or his followers in this case) of made up hate crimes.

Finally got the publicity he wanted.

Boy you going to jail!

Since he perpetrated the attack on himself, doesn't that make him a racist and a homophobe?

What career you had is now gone, bye bye

Yup, but a rich Republican gets 47 months.

Ain’t that sad?

Chances of his getting more than 47 months 🤔

Hahahaha bye loser

Lock Him Up!

Blacks should wake up and not be used for political purposes because you will not get the same treatment with whites when you get caught.

Damn

MAGA

Did Congress’s resolution condemning hate include this?

Allegedly, AP is a news source

Play stupid games...

Anyone, what to take a guess how many years, Smollett gets compared to Manafort?

How does one simple crime end up as 16 charges. The legal system is broken.

Do people still say lol? Cuz fuckin loooooool

Hopefully he won’t beat himself up too bad over this

47 months should be the max jail time. I mean it's the max for rich old white men

How to ruin your life part I.

I'm sure he's crying now because he got caught. He did much more damage than he will ever know. Do the crime, do the time!

I wonder if he's still upset about his pay?

I wonder if he’ll get more time than manafort...

I really hope JussieSmollet is super pleased with himself. Asshat

Wait! We can't let Kraft & Manafort get away! Quickly--let's charge the black guy w/ 16 FELONIES!! ....for what was rly just a simple fraud....

Wonder how much time he’ll get, compared to Manafort?😡😡😡

A travesty of justice. No way his actions deserve this!

A little over kill if it was a white guy he would of only got one felony

Just as I thought it would

That ambition of him became his downfall. Patience is truly a virtue

16!!!!!!!!!

Bruh he even fooled me! I just talked about Jussie Smollett(this lying sack of S***t ) btw I have the GREATEST SPEAKING VOICE 👇🏿 please retweet

Wish other hoaxers would get caught because a few have fallen through the cracks.

16 felonies? That’ll be 18 months plus the “being black” surcharge of 30 years.

Not 1, not 2, not 3, but 16!!!!!! And you backed him up too!!! Every media organization that bashed Trump supporters should be apologizing!! I take cash! fill’er up!!! rt

He better start snitchin on lee daniels also because lee daniels is part of that whole scam, jail time guess there would be justice for who did it after all 😂😂

I don’t know: Black Man and Indictment; in the USA it’s like Baseball and Hotdogs! What’s new? It’s like White man and “well, we have to gather the facts” or “let’s give the benefit of the doubt”, or “it’s Affluenza”!

16 counts for what? What changed from 1 count?

He's no manafort, staring down life in prison most likely.

I cannot believe this man was so greedy for his fame to come faster, that he did this. He has ruined his career and possibly his life. Only time will be his friend in this.

How much do you want to bet he gets more jail time than Manafort?

Someone tell IAMQUEENLATIFAH 😂🤣😂

I always heard that you could indict a ham sandwich.

Good news

Ugh. Why Jussie? What a mess.

That’s fast! Smiley is an asshole for this and we know it. Now, here’s my question: Why isn’t there the same amount of energy and effort from authorities when it’s a cop who kills unarmed people(African-Americans to be precise)?

But muh Manafort!

Jussie should be an example of What hate Can Do If you let it

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Juicy Sommelier?

Foop this soup

Maybe Dancing with the Stars will be still on the air after he does time in prison so he can redo his so called career. If not, I bet Trader Joe's will have an opening.

Why are some Conservatives celebrating? I don’t get it. He will be punished. What’s the celebration about? Does this directly affect you? More likely just want to see people different from you get punished. Might want to look into the root causes. Maybe homophobic and/or racist?

Damn- that’ll learn him!

I love for him you put “allegedly”... For conservatives you always manage to leave that part off.... interesting yeah? 🤔

Great news. He flat out made up a hate crime....that is disgusting.

Jussie Smollet was paid by Mike Pence wife to make hate crimes discredible.

So he could get almost as much time as Manafort? Neat....(not)....

Why?

Allegedly?

This kid is a mess.

Question why does trump get away with accusing president Obama of wiretapping his office?

I hope he gets convicted on all counts...his HATEFUL, heinous, selfish actions and utter disregard for real victims of crime who he shoved out of the way demands he be made an example for others who, having seen the fruit of his labor, might pause to consider their actions.

When keeping it real goes wrong

bama_kirby1 Smh 😆😆😆😆😆

I'm tired of the case 🙄

Well, does this mean he’ll be in jail for at least 20 years. I think he should hook up to Paul Manaforts lawyers.

Where is the FBI on the fake letter he had sent to himself? That is a federal crime? Still waiting for reaction from the politicians and actors who backed him. What....can’t hear you. You had a lot to say on day one.

To damn quick

16 felonies for making some shit up? Damn

He should go to jail as long as someone would if this attack was true

You just watch, he will spend more time in prison than Manafort, and prove his own point.

Cra

He should say NICE things about Donald Trump...He'll get a Pardon..

As well he should. We dont need assholes making the world worse. There is enough racism. Wee certainly do not need to add to the hate. Acceptance is the key.

Now can they prosecute Carolyn Bryant Donham for falsely accusing Emmett Till or no cause she has the complexion for the protection? 🤨

A false tale often betrays itself. AESOP, 'The Fox and the Monkey'.

This is hilarious.

Watch Smollett get more time than Manafort.

When do we expect an apology from all those who jumped to conclusions with false accusations of racism, hatred and inflammatory rhetoric.

He took attention away from real unsolved crimes and tied up valuable police resources.

When two men jump you in prison they really jump you

Do Democrats still support Smollett?

Joestradamus91 Where was CNN?

Wow that seems a bit much for a false report, was it an all white grand jury? Hope Manafort’s judge gets it as he has lead a stellar life up until now

Don’t tell me he took too much Xanax and the ambien made him do it. “Rehab here we come”

Give ‘me the Manafort! 47 Months...

Jesse Smollett is the Exception that Conservatives Will Make the Rule Read full article at

Dude needs help. He could have gotten someone killed or caused riots.

Let's hope he gets 47 years.

That's going to leave a mark.

He will get more than Manadort, quarantee it😐

Will his friends in MAGA hats ask President Trump to pardon him?

MAGA

Make room for the Academy award winning director coming to a prison near you.

Don't drop the soap. 🧼🚿

Oops

Well it seemed like a good idea at the time...

48 months

👍

Knock Knock Who's there? Jussie Jussie who? Jussie the fu*king racist

Can you say prison?!!! He gets what he gets!!! What a loser!!

*Baron Jussie Munchausen* Munchausen Syndrome: a psychological disorder in which a person seeks attention by faking victimhood. See also: Trump SocialMedia BaronMunchausen

I can see the movie title now, From Riches to C*m Rag The Jussie Smollett Story

dsupervilleap Hope he gets Judge Ellis!

The worst part of this is that it was utterly unnecessary.

IAMQUEENLATIFAH is going to be so pissed

Let’s see if he gets more time than Traitor Manafort 😡

And I bet you he does more time than Manafort's going to.

Will they re arrest him?

Now, he was in the wrong. And, he needs to face the trouble that he caused. But, I think that the young man needs some kind of help. And, they are about to hang him out to dry.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Whoa.

Liberals will stop at nothing to push a fake narrative. This is the result.

oh well shit happens

He should be charged for hate crime!!

Will he get 47 months?

Good riddance

his acting during this case was better than his empire work!
