BREAKING: Jussie Smollett speaks after all charges were dropped: 'I have been truthful and consistent on every single level since day one. I would not be my mother's son if I was capable of one drop of what I have been accused of.'

on Tuesday, a month after he was hit with felony counts stemming from what police said was a staged street attack on himself in an attempt to get a pay raise.

Smollett's lawyers, Tina Glandian and Patricia Brown Holmes, released a statement confirming that all charges had been dropped. Today, all criminal charges against Jussie Smollett were dismissed by the Prosecution. Jussie’s record has been wiped clean. Jussie was attacked by two people he was unable to identify. He was a victim and was victimized again in a rush to judgment. Apologies acceptedThey said Smollett "is relieved to have this situation behind him and is very much looking forward to getting back to focusing on his family, friends and career.

DAYDAY_BIGGHEAD Who attacked him then?

It’s just so gross. If I was his mother (which I’m most certainly glad I’m not), I would encourage him to own it, take resposlnsibility cause that’s the only way to “move forward”. Truth

I say there were and are so many hate crimes that are not reported or executed. In the age of fake news, Trump and not knowing who tells the truth I say let him go. Forgive him. As an actor, he staged it. he represents all those hate crimes which went unnoticed. Not guilty.

RachelADolezal Why does anybody really care the only person he hurt was himself...

Nuff said! Who ☎️ can seal records? I thought about being gay he said. Black history is a disaster!

This dude has to have a tiny IQ

The new poster boy for white privilege

Your friends on camera buying the rope and hats

To hell with the 2 brothers he hung out to dry! Because they do not have the elitist status to protect themselves! Jussie is a liar and immoral! If he wants to protect black people he should start with the 2 brothers he threw under the bus!

What a great actor that can keep fooling people. Remember this is why he is on tv shows, he does this for a living. I’m surprised he didn’t start fake crying

No one believes his lies.

Fake as instant mashed potatoes

Truthful my ass.

Lies. Money talks and Smollett walks.

What a joke. Guess Obama got him off.

This is going to be the trend now, just like trump . Law enforcement are going to take a beating . Police and community relations are not well in this country . Defendants are going to blame law enforcement as out to get them, borrowing a page from trump

So then who is getting thrown under the bus to be charged with assaulting him?

This is not breaking news....

Little punk! That's bs!!!!

Rich white people get charges dropped everyday for more serious crimes

Damn the lies that come out your face is Disgusting

JussieSmollett

So who’s gonna investigate Chicago police They muddied the waters with constant updates, evidence suppression come to find out news reporters found evidence doing re-enactments that police missed!!!. None of this story sounds right at all

So are we still after these suppose'white guys'? 🤔

There are two justices one for the elitist and one for the rest of us. The two brothers admitted he hired them .

ABC, California, Oregon, and Washington politicians are all OK with this. They would vote “Present” so as not to show us their true colors. Bunch of cowards and traitors!

YO EMPIRE!

Truth prevails.

You said whites attacked you. That's a lie.

Not likely. He’ll screw up again. It’s in his nature

UnBelievable PR..BoycottEmpire

He gave good hed.

pretty pathetic how this nobody got out of jail time that was well deserved. Our justice system is a complete joke. Either way, to the people with an iq higher than 12, we all see how much a deceptive and lying nobody this man is.

Does this man know how to NOT lie?

So basically the liar just thanked his family.... and maybe his lawyer... because nobody else in their right mind believes he is innocent. What an actor.. to be able to stand there and give that speech with a straight face. Not the America I served my country for.

These comments are interesting. I don't really follow pop culture, but what happened to innocent until proven guilty? I firmly believe that if they had the evidence to charge him they would have. Everyone is crying exoneration this week and probably all LIARS.

So, he forsure did it, but he had money and 'previous' good deeds? Sounds like our president.

Hey Jussie the minute you think you're bulletproof that's when they stab you to death.

JUSSIEDINDUNUFFIN

This dude must have great lawyers

How someone can stand there and lie like that... smh

🐽🐽🐽

Time for real bashers to bash! Who will believe the boy saw a wolf? BreitbartNews DrDavidDuke LaurenRoseUltra RichardBSpencer cnn FoxNews cbs

This story stinks. It stinks so bad even the diaper of a baby with explosive diarrhea smells better.

More FBI corruption. So because JessieSmollett s attorney knows Obama he gets away with 16 FELONY counts. Is Murder next? EQUAL justice? Let ALL Felons go FREE! FoxNews CNN abc cbs senjudiciary potus seanhannity

BS!!!

BREAKING NEWS: Actors will now receive awards for stellar performances given in their real life, daily activities. Jussie Smollett is to be the first recipient of this award. 😒😒

Your “story” just doesn’t ring true! If I was your mother I’d be ashamed of you! You are a disgrace to your community and your town. I feel bad for the police for all their work and then you get off ! Disgraceful!

What a crooked liar! Some corrupt shit just took place. I hope ppl on the Left speak up loud and clear for this is exactly what they stand against, supposedly

JussieSmollett what a disgraceful, pathetic human you are! Still lying! Still prostituting the safety of others - the law that protects us all - all for personal gain! You should be ashamed jussiesmollett, we all know what happened & why... grow some balls & be honest you grub!

Literally noone believes him

He is only sorry because he got his ass caught. And that is all .

That Black Gay privilege u cant find anywhere else other than the west. lol getting off the hook for political game.

Somebody’s about to find your adoption papers then...

BlackPrivilege

I don't believe him. I'll make sure I never spend money on anything he does or watch any TV show he's in.

GUILTY

Except the part where he faked a hate crime and tried to pin the blame on an innocent dude... Ok

Well since they say hes innocent, then the chicagopolicedepartment knows who carried out the attack. Arrest the 2 Nigerian guys that attacked him!!!! Justice needs to be served! JussieSmollett should be in jail but since hes not, the ones that assaulted him should be.

How much did Michelle Obama’s legal team have to do with the case

SmollettPrivilege

Don't you dare...

Open liars

Truth these days can be anything anyone wants it to be, flexible.

looks like he is trolling trump who’s taking a victory lap over trumps appointed AGs summary of an investigation while blocking the release of the full report. the same AG who is biased & who’s son works for trump

I thought he was a better actor than this

Swearing on your mother is a bad look buddy. Karma is around the corner

Like he’s going to get work after this. No ones going to risk ratings on this clown.

what happens to the two brothers that you paid to mug you?

In other words...”Chicago can not afford to go through a riot so we’ll pretend it never happened”. Guilty!

His career is over

I ready for my close up Mr. DeMille

Honestly this is insane money talks people money talks... total embarrassment to the city of Chicago I'm so over it honestly the older I get the worse society gets when u have people w money committing crimes and they can just pay a handsome fee & get off~ SMH senseless BS

Liar! What a fool!!

TheVixensworld I’m not gonna lie it’s so hard to believe JussieSmollett. This entire thing is like this generations O.J. story can we get an accurate recount of what really happened?

rkelly is probably thinking 'I should've said that'

Why bring your mother into your mess!!!!!

Absolutely no doubt he is guilty.

So he’s saying he isn’t his mother’s son? Unnecessary, but noted.

Innocent until proven guilty...

Jussie would be great working for fake news.

Jussie Smollett must suck some good dick to just walk away with a smile.

And the Emmy goes to...

So he's innocent? He was beat up?

I can't believe this guy is still lying. Has the devil cursed his toungue?

This is money country i guess

Your privilege is showing...

At least when someone really beats his ass no one will believe him.

Jussie, you insult your fans intelligence..really disappointed

Wow, he sure can act. I wonder where he learned that. Oh wait.

Celebrity Privledges

Perhaps it all has to do with Dems in Congress legislating bill to outlaw hanging a person. WHY? If found guilty of treason in the USA, PUNISHMENT - PUBLIC HANGING! WWG1WGA

If he was white he'd still be in prison.

Got to give him credit,, he’s a good liar 👍 good job

LoL.... Speak on it Jussie.

The guy is using his mother to make us believe his story? Sad

Hahahahaha what a narcissistic sociopath

LIAR, here’s your award. 🏆

Your the perp and a perp you will remain

Que bien salió todo!😏

How he sounds rn

N

Your mother just called. She said when you get home she’s gonna smack you upside your head with a frying pan

I suppose this means he gets his rope back

Let's see if FBI dropping their investigation

SAKimFoxx JussieSmolleett ChicagoPoliceDepartment if laws don’t apply why should I follow them, jussiesmollet your mom must be sickened because of you, if not she’s a shitty person too

He lacks integrity and appears dishonest. He speaks “lies” fluently and with ease. At Least he can continue to be proud of his homosexuality.

blackprivilege

👀😱👀 WELL ALRIGHTY THEN!! 😳🤨🤯🤔 SMH. 🙄👎🙄

Liar!

Well spend as much time trying to find these guys as you do trying to convince us. If really happened. I be looking every night!!

Blah blah blah

This boy could get away with murder smh

Fake People....Fake News

This won’t happen if he was a White Man.....

Despite being obviously guilty, moronic “celebrities” like Alyssa Milano continue to support him. But what should I expect from someone who believed Christine Ford when she was lying and was proven to be a lair...there seems to be a pattern.

No one wants to hear what he has to say ! Disgraceful injustice!

Love how this is his line of justification a month after he pleaded guilty and said he wanted more money

Your Mom was a man?

So we’re officially done with the white privilege thing right ?

Is it ok to be your mothers son that lays with naked men? Does that make mommy proud? Trump derangement syndrome went to work here. Maybe the CPD Chief is racist? Or maybe he hates Fags. This is BULLSHIT. The Chief is a good man and that should count. Charges were appropriate.

Okay so he's still did not sign it what the

The prosecutor was PAID BY Soros to look the other way... and was visited by a pawn of Michelle Obama just before all charges were dropped. PURE corruption by dems!! Each one needs to be arrested...

BS Walks!

Okay...so he CAN act.

Disgusting

Scumbag!!!!

I am so confused.

White people are MAD!

Dude just lied on his mama 😂

The justice systrm believes lies now

Paid the city justice system just to get out. Isn’t he just privileged?

Subway - Eat Fresh!

Many people will never look at him the same again. I know I won’t.

LIAR ... Who put you up to this?

This is complete BS. I am ashamed right now for America

No sense of decency! He will keep going through this life hurting anyone in his way to get what he wants!

Well. He looks like a good actor on this take. Not much on the others like getting beat up

That’s tuff Jussie

dropped/paid for charges does not mean you have been found innocent, it just means you are a paid for... i still believe you to be a liar...

Code for: I have repeated my lies over and over and I got away with it. Because I'm wealthy and famous

Classic NBP behavior; Narcissist Borderline Personality. Google it; it’s a Real Thing. Lies & Gaslighting on every deceptive level. Such BS. ✌🏾✌🏿✌🏼🇺🇸

He says it as if he was an actor or something

People who believe Jussie Smollett

Fuc that!! I want my privilege card !!!! This is absolutely bullchit

If I were a black or gay American I’d call Batman for a little vigilante justice. This creature is a disgrace and any black or gay American who supports him is as well! What ever happened to dignity and integrity? Barf 🤮

This some bullshit

LIAR

Looser

What a lot of B S , you should have be in jail now . 🤢

🤥

MedicalEllen Evidence absolutely proved otherwise. He should have been formally charged. Sickening to me that he is allowed to continue perpetrating this lie.

Yet more proof that famous people DON’T live by the same rules as the rest of us.

Lies upon lies...must be a Republican

The best thing here is the lawyer behind him 😍

Liar shame on you

Bullshit. Still lying

OmarKelly Bull crap

BLACKPRIVILAGE

Funny how he doesnt mention getting any justice on the supposed 'attackers' anymore lol. Dudes just happy to be getting away with his hoax at this point and it shows clearly.

I’m glad this case was dropped. We should really focus on real criminals and not waste taxpayers money on cases where good people make minor mistakes.

WHAS11 Is he?

$10,000 is a big enough dollar amount to have the charges dropped.

Look at all that white privi....... wait a minute

If he is so innocent, why pay $10,000 & agree to community services?

Liar, liar pants on fire.

yeah right

I know der is a GOD... 😂😂😂😂😂, next up R. Kelly......

He genuinely believes his own bullshit.

Liar liar pants on fire

I was watching empyre he is better actor outside the show than the on the show

His mama is like boy don’t drag me down with you

YC1787

He needs a mental health evaluation. No one can lie like that and be “okay”

LIAR

was he acting?

Well I guess your mother doesn't have a son you lied and said you got beat up by people you paid

Liar, hes a liar, and I'm being objective. I dont see some white dudes on Chicago streets at 2am, they have jobs. He should be charged for wasting tax dollars. Not one security camera saw any 'white thugs' for 6 city blocks.

JussieSmollett lies that is what smells!!! If he gets a job anywhere in the movies or tv I am going to boycott!! What he did is wrong!!!

Ya know people this means the Chicago police department did him dirty!!! Are y’all missing that part? 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

No worse then the rich rapist/ killers that get off because they are to rich to know better. No worse then

Liar

BS!!!!!

He thinks chargers were dropped is the same as found innocent... The prosecutor said it would be a waste of her time because he would just be given community service not we think he’s innocent.

Feds need to charge him with Mail fraud and hate crimes.

His career is still over 😜

Let's talk about actual privilege. When being wealthy can get you out of anything.

He is really rubbing the Chicago Police Departments nose in it...

Bullshit!

I feel sorry for him. Everyone knows he’s guilty and a POS.

No, babydoll. A plea deal does not equate to innocence. JussieSmollett needs to consult Trump on how to effectively spin this plea deal into 'they dropped the charges because they know I'm innocent.'

I was so looking forward to seeing him as gay Tupac in jail. Always remember that he hit them back.

Liar.

Dems want transparency on everything but them. (yes he isn't a politician, yet.) He lies like one, the book should be good or maybe could be written in EmpireFOX and he could ascend as the beautifully gay Tupac Shakur (R.I.P)

He forgot to thank his Aunt!!!

That lying sack of.....

Bs er

His name needs to be the new Duped. Hence If some one has been mugged over..”You’ve been Smolletted mate” should be a standard reply. Make this shame stick. The consequences of his actions for which he is unrepentant are far reaching. Not in a good way. Use Smolletted to remember

He has to put his head on his pillow every night and think about what he’s done. Shameful!

Right now an entire cell block in the Chicago ‘penal’ system who dreamed of having the young tender Smollette join gen pop, weeps. 😭

Sad day for justice I will boycott anything this racist person ever does in his future

'I have been truthful ...' Yeah, despite all the evidence that proves otherwise. 🤣🤣🤣

Does he have a concience. Guess not

This makes me sick

That's the statement from most terds!!!

How about playing the reaction of the police chief and the mayor over the charges being dropped?

He has all the characteristics of a sociopath.

His mom:

Adopted?

CPD screwed up the investigation yet I do believe 16 counts was ridiculous.there’s more to the story but we will never know.🤷🏽‍♀️

The truth will come out. It always does.

Had it been a white Police officer shooting a black man in his back ON video it would have only gotten 1 Indictment & the charges would be dropped!! 16 indictments was excessive! Who knows what really happened. Sad if he did stage it. JussieSmollett

Av been waiting 4this day 2come to pass but thank God u scale tru, clear conscience fears no accusations and God will keep on fighting for u in Jesus Name Amen.

Liberal privilege is the real advantage.

🤦‍♀️ this puts out the wrong message that we want young people to hear these days ..

Av been waiting 4this day but thank God u scale tru, clear conscience fears no accusations and God will keep on fighting for u in Jesus Name Amen.

Lie lie lie

What does this mean for his role on EmpireFox ?

Lies!!!!

Glad this is over.. Now let's resolve RKelly and keep moving too!

Liar!

What a crock of celebrity BS

Once again abc gives us fake news! This fool is not innocent! He paid off the court system!! He relinquished his parole money and did a little community service! In exchange got a clean slate! What a joke!!! The court system once again shows how it is being bought off!!!

Nah!!!!

katiecouric Total disregard for the rule of law! Travesty on display

So smug, great representative of Hollywood. I will never watch anything he is in ever. BoycottEmpire boycottJussieSmollett

What a blatant liar...... I will never believe anyone else saying something like this happened to them.... he has done a great injustice to his family and peers ....shameful ungrateful fool smallest

Ok, so who did it then? The one armed man? Gtfoh!!!

Karma is now standing behind JessieSmollett like the Grim Reaper. Smolletts a LIAR and one big ball of '__it' is now rolling right towards him. Watch close folks. Bad things are coming Jessie Smolletts way, real soon.

Anyways you’re canceled dude .

And bringing your mother into it. Now she’s wishing she had swallowed!!

Rich black like rich white same old

Only after Michelle Obama involved her lawyer. Imagine that!!!!🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

Bs - if not for his having ties with someone that is untouchable- he wouldn’t have this type of release

Sounds like if you are popular you can get away with anything. I bet if Tim Allen did the same thing. We would not hear the end of charges.

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

standwithjussie innocent man scape goat for a racist Chicago PD investigation

Can't play it. Can't bear to hear him

Unbelievable!

Two men beat Jussie , his face look very tiny bruise and very tiny cut .. look 👀 at him . He is guilty

I read a huge chunk of these comments and saw only 1 or 2 that were even close to believing this BS

You’re a fake who paid off the judge

Guess he’s heading to USC next. MoneyTalks jussiesmolett

Nobody believes you, go away

Blah blah. Talk is cheap. You lied and got away with it.

Not even liberals will buy this crap.

And the Emmy goes toooooo.

So full of shit!

If conservatives get a win, the liberals deserve one too...

A Democrat lying on national news. Business as usual.

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Enjoy your new life at community theater 🎭

Pretty talented actor

And this is the problem with the world!

But you were and you are!! This doesn’t mean you aren’t guilty idiot

Lying liar is given the red carpet. Shame on Chicago

Scum of this Earth.

Idiot. Wasting the resources of law enforcement b

I didn't know he was adopted...

11 DD Games and my 91 pitcher I got at the start has started no games MLBTheShow MLBtheshow

Bs. Still never going to support him.

SMOLLETT IS A HUGE INSANE LIAR

Liar!!!

“Marginalized people” You meant “liars”

So you were faithfully and consistently lying the whole time?

This is so wrong! What is going on with our justice system?

TezlynFigaro So......his mother was ok with her lying dirtbag son creating a fake hate crime? Sad that he would say that.

LIAR!!!! why seal the records LIAR

WTF? So disgusted. Does he know someone with connections in Chicago or something?

You shouldn't slander your mom like that, kid.

This is the EPITOME of FakeNews.

It ain't over yet for this garbage human.

Liar.

One drop rule? This is a racist dog whistle!

Mr. Smollet is an intangible asset to MW. I wonder if he became her Puppet, now she is protecting him.

I havent been following this story closely. But i thought he admitted to making up the claim. But since it appears he is sticking to the initial report, what development is there that proves he made up and falsified the attack claims. Anyone got the cliff notes?

Disgusting

This fool of a man is mentally ill. What a slap in the face to the cops. Police should walk off their job for the day in Chicago.

As someone who has a gay daughter and grandson, I am disgusted with this turn of events. He has done more harm against gays than anything since Aides. If they take him back on Empire...I will stop watching the show. If he was innocent, he wouldn't have sealed his records.

So for everyone who’s livid about this... whatcha gonna do? Wait for justice? Rely on the system? If you feel truly passionate about the outcome; do something about it. But don’t rely on the system.

America where money gets you into college and out of felonies

Just shows how corrupt the city of Chicago is. If you have money, you can do whatever you want. What a joke of a city.

This does not mean vindication.

Price if shit!

Complete trash!!!

Human trash. You're connections got you off, but everybody knows you are a lying, disgusting, piece of garbage. You will be mocked and laughed at until you come clean or die.

Habitual Pathological liar...I mean.. He is an actor after all.

I bet even his mother doesn't believe this charade.

Liar

Dirt bag!

Wow! Invoking his mother while lying through his bigoted teeth. This guy’s disgusting.

I believe this man's career is over.

ErielleReshef The justice system is broken and will never be fixed

ErielleReshef Sounds like he paid his way out of this one

If you got enough money you can get away with anything

Please get a DNA test or go on Maury Povich then.

Money Talks, Bullshit Walks. Good Luck with that career. 👋

Gross miscarriage of justice. Jussie committed a crime with evidence galore but liberal politics got him off. That’s alright the Feds will definitely get him.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣sinverguenza🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Considering his lawyer just admitted before Smollett spoke, that his friends did attack him. So how could he be truthful about everything when he claimed two white people assaulted him with racial intent

Wtf he’s actually saying he was really attacked?

She must be SO proud

I am glad for Jussie S. He seemed sincere. He must have been able to explain the damning evidence. Did those guys have a beef with him? I would like to know the whole truth.

katiecouric Bull

Is this another form of promotion for a TV show or something? 🤔 Are we being fooled? April fools is next week I'm lost 😂

Bullshit!

🤢🤮

JussieSmollett

Yo, JussieSmollett , what you did to America was

Complete joke. I’m sure the police are pissed about this. After all, it is a democratic controlled city.

The omen.

Smollett is pathologically sick

Lying

This guy’s a clown. Check your celebrity privilege jussie

he’s actually pathetic

Really? REALLY?!!

Who got paid off? Cops and the mayor got sold out by a corrupt judge. Sad

WOW NEEDS ACTING AWARD

Good I’m behind you

I can see JussieSmollett has learned a lesson or two from realDonaldTrump. Zero credibility.

Wow you brought Moms into it. Bruh u did all that. Next time don’t leave a paper trail.

Liar

He will still be viewed as a liar

Ring Liar!

You’re mother raised a Liar!

Dude is still lying lmaooooo. Dude take the L

Lol

Okay. Either the judge was also gay, how 16 counts drop like that with so much evidence against him. According to the media. One hell! Of a lawyer. IDK

MsAmberPRiley

Guilty as sin.

This is a pathological liar. How can he possibly due any genuine 'community service'? He plotted to stir up and foment hate and conflict deliberately between groups of people and engage the activist news media to help him do so.

What a DISGRACE!!!!

But not declared innocent. This is not the end of this.

SO HAPPY FOR JUSSIE SMOLLETT!! SO MANY CLEAR PEOPLE ANGRY. 🙂 TALK TO ME WHEN THEY START CONVICTING POLICE FOR KILLING UNARMED BLACK PEOPLE

truthfullly and consistently lying

Nothing to see here people 😒😏

The real question is, which Subway is open 24 hours? I need answers, because they had to have been robbed a lot, right? I mean, somebody is jackin' sandwiches or cookies or something.

I wonder what it feels like to be guilty and get away with it! Doesn’t say much about his character

Lol who's gonna believe this shit

Outrageous!!

Keep on hunting for the **real killers** while you're out there fighting for justice and all the marginalized peoples

Dude has friends in real high places. You want to see what real obstruction looks like investigate the JussieSmolett case.

Oh please. Spare me your unethical lies. Move on.

Hmm...wonder how much the DA was paid to drop this case? 🤔

LYING POS! We saw the video of your friends buying the masks and rope! That wasn’t fake! Now because you cannot blame Trump, you Attack the ChicagoPolice Was the Fake Threat Letter w crushed aspirin in it also Fake! SOB cost Taxpayers millions to investigate both incidents!

Shameless criminal that’s all he is!

So JussieSmollett if it's all true then why are you not trying to still catch those who committed this act...

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck you mang...🖕🏻🙄🤥

Great job officers. Smollett is hateful and is a liar.

I call epic bullshit

He is guilty of staging a crime ..

So if he is innocent , who is guilty, ,?

Cutting a deal is not innocence. Have your day in court and prove it.

What a shame. He just walked after committing a hate crime Rich privilege

Are you kidding me , this a just what the country has been talking about , 2 tier justice!!!!!! Let’s face it , Chicago had Capone !! He ran the police , and it appears the Obamas are Chicago’s Capone ! Nothing has changed in that liberal city , 80% of the country is disgusted

Wow smh

So do people trust the US police and justice system or not? You keep changing your minds just because you want people to be guilty.

Good damn actor.

Liar liar pants on fire🔥

Didn’t MJ say the same thing? Uhh, this is how you get LeavingNeverland, except without all the molesty stuff.

Hate Crimes Has Found Its Duke Case

If Obama had a daughter...

Wow, the one thing I think we can all agree on is that this guy is a really shit actor.

LIES!!!

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I personally want to kick his ass so he has an actual complaint.

The charges may have been dropped, but his whole story still sounds sketchy to me. Exoneration and truth don’t always occupy the same space! jussiesmolett

Smollet is in the same position as Trump today. This entire justice system is a flaw!

So...are the two dudes going to be arrested then? This had BETTER not be the end of this!

So the whole story has been sketchy the whole time and then charges are randomly dropped. This is too strange for me

Lolololololololol

I officially hate this dude. This shit just don’t add up!!!. Why seal the evidence if you’re so innocent?

So he doesn’t want to upset his mother because he’s a criminal? He should a thought about that before he committed the crime..

Well guess this opens up things for others to break the laws seeing this was all dropped, hope it happens to me if I by chance do this

Nope! This doesn’t mean you’re innocent dude.

Pathetic

This shows horrible example to our children that w money you can buy anything. That’s a disgusting judge who locked up all the other information and sealed it purposefully what is this world coming to!!! I’m sad for people that actually have hate crimes committed against them!!

wow. Obviously he had a mental illness, hopefully his loved ones get him some help.

Liar!

Then why isn’t he demanding the case continue as an open investigation? Gave up on finding the so called “perpetrators” of this alleged attack? Why seal the records?

Wow.. this justice system is so backwards.. the dude clearly lied! Got busted lying! Tried to ignite a race war basically! Mischaracterized all Trump supporters and walks.. sit free!! Must be nice being rich n famous..

Another SKILLED LIAR.

Jail him!

😂🤣😂🤣😂

This was a scheme. The plan all along was to drop all charges. Now when it happens for real, he needs to just take his ass whooping and go hide behind the mountains because nobody’s ever going to believe shit he says.

Something is rotten in Denmark (and Chicago)...a little truth,and by the way there is only one truth, would go along way. Again, it looks like “celebrity” justice has risen to the occasion...

Yeah right, thats why they sealed the files. Soro’s paid enough for this one, but after all it is Chicago, what else would you expect?

Even in this statement hes lying! The prosecutor in the case needs to be investigated as well as the judge, and if not police should hold a walk out and let the prosecutors police the most dangerous city since they know it all!

Thank you Jussie!

Wow! Meet the new privileged

Know wonder Chicago is a piece of shit. I feel sorry for law enforcement there

Disgraceful. Yet another example that the true issue in this country is CLASSISM not RACISM.

Vile human.

I’d like to hear from the FBI if they’re going to step in and serve justice because it definitely wasn’t served today.

It's up to the prosecutors to put Jussie Smollett no trail NOT the public ! JussieSmollett

“I broke my back”

Moral of the story don’t commit crimes unless you can afford a great lawyer & a fine. Also it wouldn’t hurt to have whomever the judge & states attorney is in this case. What a joke.

JussieSmollett disgusting.

😂😂😂 this nigha is nuts

Do not be deceived. the Justice System is two tiered. kiddie gloves for elites and celebrities and a meat grinder for us little people in the back of the bus.

If he didnt get assaulted before....he sure is now because he pissed a lot of people off. But no one is going to believe him...

👍🏾

WTF. What happened then? We need the court transcripts.

You know what this is... celebrity

“I would not be my mother's son if I was capable of one drop of what I was accused of.' I felt this

Whoa...he invoked his mother. Well...that settles it then.

Those brothers need to SUE since we have corruption in our legal system

sheyigerian Really ABC dropped. He agrees to pay charges there was an agreement reached. Charges were never dropped.

So let’s ponder this. If he was truthful from day one then that means he was really assauted. But yet the 2 guys who “assaulted” him have not been rearrested. INTERESTING maybe his using the liberal line. That is his truth but not THE TRUTH.

So, uh... what happened then?

this guy has guilty written all over his face

And here he is LYING again.

I don’t get it....he arranged for two friends to beat him up so he could claim a hate crime and further his flagging career....but he’s ‘not guilty’ ? WTF has happened to US justice ?

This is called gaslighting.

There is no justice in this country anymore. He bought his way out with help.

Oh course they dropped the charges on Jussie Smollett, He is black, gay, Democrat. Just think what might have happened if he was Conservative I now believe you can thank the Obama’s for this. The Mayor of Chicago was Obama’s chief of staff. Disgusting and BS by the left.

This just in .. new DNA test shows Smollett is not his Mother’s son

How did this happen? How do we not find out the truth? This is super fishy!

Sue the Chicago police department.

So happy for you Jessie

Don’t lie just shut up and go home.

CORRUPTION!!

Zero contrition. That's a shame. I'm not sure how he moves on with his life now.

Ok. So if this isn’t true then they’re still looking for 2 white racist/bigots? Who attacked him, Right?

He still lying. Didn’t believe him in the beginning and still don’t believe him. The fact that everything is sealed and him forfeiting 10K yeah right.

Soooo this man maintains his innocence and you dummies still just wants him to be guilty.. how miserable

I don’t want to hear about white privilege without hear about 16 felony charges dropped. Let’s talk about privilege for the wealthy.

JussieSmollett ✊🏾👏🏾👏🏾 God is Good!!

You freaking liar! They dropped the charges and you still cannot admit to a temporary lapse of judgment leading you to commit a falsified hate crime No respect for you. NONE.

It's like a basic fact he hasn't been consistent, that's what started this whole mess lol...justice was not served today

Of course a rich over privileged asshole gets away with it. It doesn't matter how much evidence is against you when you know the right people to pull the right strings.

This dude sold his soul to the Devil. God is watching.

Lier hahahahaha

You’re a damn liar and how could you lie on your mother disgraceful and Fox should not give you your job back I’ll never watch

katiecouric Well someone with power stepped in here. What about the fake letter. The bail not returned and community service. For what? If found innocent the bail would be returned and no penalty. What a kangaroo court.

katiecouric Prove it.

Glad it's over for u JussieSmollett Hope u continue to do ur good works & not be jaded by what's happened. Stay blessed 🙇🙌

What the ?!? The amount of evidence against him was insane. Didn't he write a check to his personal trainer, were caught on camera buying equipment & leaving crime area, then fled, Found rope were they rehearsed it, & confessed? Why drop THIS case? JussieSmollett NoJustice

The guy needs to go to jail!!! He lied! He lied! He lied! Let a white man say this crap about a black man, accusing him of hate crimes, and then finding out it wasn’t true! We all know what would happen then! He would be a Racist WhiteSupremacist !!!!

I believe he did this and just got away with it. Money money money

MsAmberPRiley I'm pretty sure I see his pants in flames!🔥🔥🔥🔥

The Chicago police media lynching of Smollet was surreal. The 'attack' that left barely a scratch, unreal.

oh.. he might have been a sixth Fab only if there were not a sock puppet...🙍‍♀️

wolfeatworld Racist agitator deserves street justice. There is no other kind for this filth.

'I got away with it and I'm not sorry, let the movement of hate and divisiveness continue, thanks for the shady individuals from the Illinois government who got me out.'

What happens to the 'Alleged Attackers?', he is his mother's son, and a man of faith, and a damn good actor!! Give this man a raise and an Emmy pronto, smh!!

If SDNY couldn't prove their case he was going to sue their pants off for ruining his career so they settled for him accepting some wrongdoing by doing comunity service and forfeiting bail and tgey drop the case. It seems he admitted guilt for charges to be dropped.

katiecouric Shame on Kim Foxx! We demand an explanation!!!

His lies continue.

Then your mother must be Mama June!!

If you’re innocent why aren’t you still in the city of Chicago🤔

What a liar.. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

This is bullshit ... I hope karma gets him soon

Ouch. Now Jussie is dragging his mother down with him. What a disgusting person. This statement alone is that of a guilty person.

IAmLNorris

happeningsng

Kamala Harris was probably behind this from the beginning they just didn't expect it to go wrong so quickly, he probably told her get this shit sorted otherwise I'll tell them everything,so she does what dems do best straight into corrupt mode.

troitorain What say you?

The cops got bought out, by big Leftist pockets, whatcha want to bet?

AgeCosmos Well, after that stellar performance, maybe Empire will give him the raise that started this whole fluster cluck of lies and corruption...Meh..

Damn so this mean blk people cant use the white privilege card no more.

Absolutely outrageous!!!! 😡😡😡😡

Poor MichelleObama and her criminal activities , not going to stop Barry’s indictement on Russia

Are you your father's son? What about that side of your gene pool?

Why did you give up you $10,000 ? Seems like you’d want that back?

I’m calling bullshit

Said the liar.

This guy divided and angered a lot of people and the media didn’t help they just added gas to the fire, he’s just like the rest of Hollywood liberals

Karma will get him one day. Maybe someone will catch him on tape bragging about he got away with it.

So still does not explain what transpired. Need to search for the truth!

Jussie commits a hate crime and gets away with it. Justice is not blind in Chicago.

The guys HE PAID admitted to it and he still walks away. SMFH sealed recorded and they kept his bond...plea deal ANYONE?

JssocialJacquie lol...lol...lol...lol...lol...lol...

Lucious and thirsty at work 😏

To be honest the guy filed a false report and basically acted like a 3 year old . I never thought he should be in jail but did need to suffer some consequences . Everyone knows about what he did and what kind of person he is now that’s enough . Democrats embrace this behavior

I was praying for you Jussie Smollett. So happy for the outcome.

You are a criminal! You need to go to prison!!!

And that's what we call 'Black Privilege'... SMH

JussieSmollett is a should’ve been criminal, sosad

Tell them and u should be able to get back to ur life and Empire

Basically, the guys that turned on him were paid more to refuse to testify and denounce their previous statements so they had no other option than to drop the charges. $$$$ it doesn’t hurt that he had friends in the DAs office in Chicago either. Rich people...

Liar.

MsAmberPRiley With the amount of times the Chicago police has fucked over black people, they BETTER had let him go. They we’re just trying to make an example out of him. What they need to do is make an example out of all them cops that be shooting innocent people 🤷🏽‍♀️

Wealth and fame privilege

How much did he pay to get 16 Felonies Dropped and Sealed.? No Justice in Chicago

I smell 💩 May whatever reputation he had be forever tarnished by his obvious lies.

He has a future in politics. First his attackers were white, now his attorney claims the Nigerian brothers he paid with a check to stage the hoax are the attackers. We’ve lost our damn mind as a country

His life is still over . Reputation ruined

No one gonna believe his ass anyway. I hope his career is still over

Damn a double lie on your mama’s name?

Jali_Cat You did the crimes millions of people did not support you You & your lawyers paid people off JussieSmollett TheJusticeDept

BigWin45

GOD BLESS THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPT,,,,,,,NOT ONLY KICKED WHEN DOWN, BUT ALSO PISSED ON,,,,,,,,,

It would seem to me that one takeaway from being alive for the past 48 hours of human history is not to make hasty judgments of ongoing investigations. That's just me.

Don't be angry. Jussie simply used his HALF WHITE PRIVILEGE to get him off! Smart thinking Jussie! Kudos! 👏

Well played Jussie.👍👍 You hired some amazing and very costly lawyers and you triple downed. In the end you get to still claim you're a victim and with no criminal record. In a years, maybe less, people will forget

This is paving the way for more hoax hate crimes and innocent people will be injured or killed. Left wing grimy hands all over this. What a stain for our justice system.

So he's saying he was adopted?

Wow!! The whole world saw the evidence. Unbelievable. Liberalpriviledge

The eye in the Sky don't lie. Reminds me of a teenager. Sometimes they don't learn unless they are grounded. Dude tried to setup a mindset. We are all one on this planet. Forget color & politics & try to be respectful & kind to others. Do the right thing! 2nd chance.

Fkn coon

.JussieSmollett is a liar. He is lucky enough to be famous and wealthy. We really need to add “and justice for all who can’t afford a good team of lawyers” to the end of our Pledge of Allegiance. JussieSmollett JussieIsAFraud

Case sealed wtf whats going on

JulaineNickels He bought himself a PASS!! Smollett!

If 45 liar was “vindicated” I can expect anything is possible now in days

Atta boy invoke deal old mom. What a sleazebag

Arrogant!!!!

This is shameful

Cpd is trash!!! If they threw it out then without a doubt Jussie was right!!!!

Good. He didn't do nothin. He a good boy.

The Chicago authorities must have been pressured by higher power to dtop the charges or lose their jobs jussie avoided jail this time

How much they have to pay?

Lies! Money talks and bull shit walks.

Don’t worry we’ll take care of it somebody get a rope.

And the Oscar goes to Jussie Smollett!...who you think you fooling!

He set up the whole thing, it went wrong but in the end he got away with it and boosted his name in the media. The old 'feel sad for me scam' how could he loose. It's a black eye for the court system and justice today.

This country’s legal system is a complete joke.

Good acting

What's happened to his 2 Co stars?

Liar

MsAmberPRiley Except for the fact that at no point were you acquitted. Someone should ask him if he feels any guilt for damaging the future credibility of REAL victims of hate crimes. They should change the 'justice is blind' statue to a judge with his hand out waiting for a pay off.

chicago equals the obamas and economic privilege

The Obama fix was in

Liar,liar,pants on fire!!!

Privilege has once again 'paid off.' Jussie isnt innocent, hes rich and was able to pay off the courts.

I guess we need vigilante justice!

So he's still pursuing charges against those who beat him right? Cuz he didn't make them up like he's' accused' of.

LIAR!!! You were guilty and you bought your way out! And pretty cheaply, I might add... smollett JussieSmollett JussieSmolletthoax

Ohhh shut up!!!!

So all the evidence was useless?

Bought and paid for. A 2 tier justice system.

Poor mother?

The other type of priviledge

The charges have been dropped. So give the man some break.

I like to watch him

ABC supports this type of behavior and persona. What a trash person.

justice was brought after forfeiting bond? sounds shady

Luvvie This is beyond bizarre. I mean....WHAT. ACTUALLY. HAPPENED.

Tell the whole story. I’m very confused on how they won’t sue the police nor arrest those two guys.

I didn't know he was adopted...

Well, I’d say realDonaldTrump owes this man an apology.

Then why are they keeping his $10,000? He did this is the justice system if you can afford to payoff Chicago is still corrupt

Was he

VIDEO EVIDENCE THAT THIS IS BULLSHIT.

'And the forfeited $10,000 bond I paid was typical of ANY truth teller!'

Thanks for the support? I dont think anyone was supporting him

NinaChantele Anybody can read a bullshit prepared statement

I'm guilty of jumping on and off. This story has taught me to wait for all of the facts.

Got off clean and STILL LIES?!?! Wow man

Lies

Paid the cops off with cash this time instead of a check.

Almost caused a national riot.... Charges dropped WTH? 😳

Something is still 🐠 guess we’ll never know!

Wait, wait, wait...so his attorney acknowledges that it was, in fact, the Nigerian brothers/associates of Smollett who beat him up...right? But Jussie is telling the truth. C’mon man!!!!

What a liar

HIS AUNT IS MAXINE WATERS!!!

They really dumped on this guy.

But they didn’t declare his innocence either did they ?

Hmmmm wonder how the case was dropped? Looks like SenKamalaHarris RepMaxineWaters and a few others pulled strings for their freind JussieSmollett FBI TheJusticeDept Lets not forget the accused who confessed! democratsbamboozledusagain Connectthedots

Many people don't know this, but a prosecutor has the right to bring, dismiss, reduce, pled etc. charges unchecked! It's the judicial system at its best. JussieSmollett

Wow! 🤔 What if Smollett were a conservative?

Congratulations, Jussie!!

It has to be the $Money$, I mean look at what trump can get away with.. This is just sad for the US..

How much did EmpireFOX give to get you out 🙄

deray There you go. If your rich and/or famous the law doesn’t apply.

Racist

Pinocchio

Yeah - and all you got for those two huge guys is a tiny bruise under your eye - cause you’re such a badass 🖕🏼

Liar

Sociopathic liar. There's no other set of adjectives for this guy. We need to cut off all federal funding to Chicago and we need a federal investigation of what actually happened here. Just because small head is gay and black does not mean he gets away with a crime like this.

What about the two that admitted he paid them

He's been consistent in everything he's said, except for the parts he lied about. Now the records are sealed so he can say any old bullshit. This dude is a clown.

Well thanks to the Cook County States Attorney it is now open season on any Trump supporter to make false claims against them.

Where do the brothers come into play?

Ridiculous... there needs to be an independent investigation as to why. Talk about a rigged system... last week there were calls to see if Michelle Obama was involved in speaking with the DA office... I guess they took her call.

There is public, concrete proof that what he alleges never happened.

White racists are losing their mind

His best acting yet!!

Gee...looks like cash money is the only form of justice that they were interested in. 🙄 You better turn that into raises for the investigators and police whos time he wasted for his diva antics.

Again over and over, we tried cases based on hearsay and opinions in the public domains. May it be Trump, Smollet and many others. Our opinions are always spinning opinions in mud, is it to make news. We are confusing many mindsets when we do such in the courts of the public.

My theory, this ‘hate crime/lynching’ fraud involved some very powerful people. They were using Jussie to help push a false narrative. For political survival this weakling state AG dropped the charges.

Democrat privilege

deray I’m confused 🤷🏾‍♂️

Tell us the story oh honorable Hollywood leftist...

Uh, oh! Someone did a favor.

LSS

Oh he brought his mother into it JussieSmollett

Folks: I know this is unpopular, but if we value the rule of law, we should accept that JussieSmollett was tried and convicted in the media court. Once the case played out in the court of law,charges were dropped. Which do you value more? trust more? Law or Media?

deray Douchebag

Wow...The left gets away with ANYTHING!!

Is he a reality show person

wow so anyone can lie now

Bullshit! He's lied through his teeth since day 1!

Still claiming himself as the victim. Did not apologize. Another Emmy performance by him in front of the cameras.

Nope. Still don't believe him. He's a horrible liar.

HipHopWired Clustfuck comes to in this situation

What the literal F*ck. If there is one thing both political sides can agree on is this is freaking insane. Quick drop all the charges against this guy so we get the mueller report out of the headlines.

Trump got off too

After this realDonaldTrump should pardon Flynn and Manafort and dare the liberals to do anything.

Wow! This is unreal. Is he trying to say the Nigerian brothers really beat him up and shouted Maga country? How did 16 felony charges plus mail fraud on the federal level get dropped? This is an outrageous miscarriage of justice. We demand to know what happened.

Unfuckingbelievable. He gets to walk away without even admitting guilt. You used a personal check, fool. We all know you bribed your way out of a guilty plea.

Somebody paid somebody off

this_vid

Elitist privilege at a very basic level.

This is a gross injustice!! BlackCrimeMatters

So who gone apologize to my mans

White privilege

🤣

Chicago police department are joke how can you drop all this chargers against this men

To All You Haters Who Wanted to see him fry!

I'm never forgiving Jussie Smollett. He's done horrible and unforgivable things by making up a false police report of a hate crime because he was unhappy with his salary. This is disgusting to actual survivors of hate crimes.

Bring out the body language experts.

Hopefully, pending federal charges against him and the judge he bribed.

He’s literally lying through his teeth! This is nuts. It’s insanely obvious. There are literally both phone & text message records proving that he called & texted the attackers an hour before and after the “attack.” This is just corrupt Chicago being corrupt. Money talks.

Liar

actors gonna act

I got an awesome bridge to sell you.

So if he was attacked by the brothers, are the brothers being arrested as we speak.

Liar!!

What happened? How? WTF?

Baron Jussie Munchausen revokes title; becomes a commoner again. JussieSmollett

Throw him in jail along with everyone else who does such things regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, status and connections. Jail!
