Smollett attorneys Tina Glandian and Patricia Brown Holmes said in a Tuesday morning statement that Smollett's record “has been wiped clean.” Smollett was indicted on 16 felony counts related to making a false report that he was attacked by two men who shouted racial and homophobic slurs.
Police and prosecutors have said the black and gay actor falsely reported to authorities that he was attacked Jan. 29 in downtown Chicago because he was unhappy with his pay on the Fox show and to promote his career."Empire" actor Jussie Smollett leaves Cook County jail following his release, Thursday, Feb. 21, 2019, in Chicago.
🤔
EW TheWrap MSNBC he should've been charged and gone to trial. This is a joke. He wasted public money time and police energy. What an absolute embarrassment this clown is. EmpireFOX
When you have money, you can get away with anything.
Oh so now the boy who cried wolf is the victim ,,he lied and did this all for personal gain ,,
Word must’ve come down from Barrack and Michelle
Just awful standards
Donald Trump was having too good of a week 😅
So....if charges are dropped Are they now pending for the two brothers who viciously attacked And tickled him....what an absolute farce
Because he is black and gay?
I guess the court system is racist ? Some of you people are so weak. Stop blaming the white man for your issues.
Im colour blind so who gives a shiit.
White privilege! Did I do that right?
Ex-Empire
Talk about black privilege... BLM ?
Well I was thinking it was an extortion attempt by the two brothers but I'll take this a win too! 😄👍 Thank goodness bc I just couldn't bring myself to believe the story the two brothers gave us.
Perfect time to beat this dudes ass and get away with it
Chicago 1 of the most violent corrupt BROKE US cities what does one expect. Absolutely disgusting just because he is a useless actor can literally break the law make false accusations of assault & hate crimes & crooked prosecutors dropping charges like its nothing...F-ing FUBAR!!
BlakesShow you were saying this morning about good luck Jessie.... Either way something odd going on here.. 🤔 PeterKash BlakeCarterPeterKash
They dealt with him like he was white
Only a racist country like the US would allow this man to fake a hate crime and then not be charged for it whilst making millions as an actor... oh wait...
Sets a bad precedent. Wasted a bunch of police time and money and nothing happened
Huh?
I’m so surprised!🙄 Who is privileged?
Seriously ? This is the weirdest Justice System , at least in North America...This is almost pathetic. ( or maybe BS)
Lol charges dropped but no reason given LMFAO
No doubt he will be welcomed back to Hollywood with open arms. I am sure the same would happen to a white male who did this.
Now I hope he gets jumped for real.
Why? If it was anyone other than an actor they wouldnt get away with this crap. He is a moron.
Waiting for the racist comments like...
Following through with the charges would have been seen as RACIST
Did anyone expect anything different from the liberal stronghold that is Chicago?
Somebody got paid.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Case dropped and sealed. Did anybody really expect a different outcome
😂😂
Why? keep him locked up.
