Attorneys for Jussie Smollett said Tuesday that all criminal charges against the"Empire" actor and singer have been dropped. Smollett had been charged with falsifying a police report by claiming he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack.
"Today all criminal charges against Jussie Smollett were dropped and his record has been wiped clean of the filing of this tragic complaint against him," Holmes said in an earlier statement."Jussie was attacked by two people he was unable to identify. He was a victim. He was vilified and made to appear as a perpetrator as a result of false and inappropriate remarks made to the public causing an inappropriate rush to judgment.
The crude letter was sent in an envelope that contained a powdery substance and had “MAGA” written on it. The substance was later determined to be aspirin. Police said that they believe Smollett sent the letter to himself.At a press conference the day of his arrest, Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson tore into Smollett over the alleged scheme.
JustinSurrency Truthful⁉️ You mean after you got caught lying 😂😂😂
the cottupt obama's got the fool off
Makes me want to throw up, what a crock of crap!
What a piece of work. Sealed case and he's paid $10,000. He claims he's innocent. What a joke. If he was really innocent he'd be suing the heck out of them
Smollett lol I won't go see anything he might be in. The man appears to be a liar and a fool. Christine Geissler Gales Ferry, CT
Whatever the reason it's just not fair if he wants to say that he could spread lies about some high officials that's BS. His butt should be in jail
One other thought I guess this City of Chicago is still could be bought by enough money and powerful people. I guess the mob is still alive no matter who you wanna say the mob is Chicago's Judges stink and so does the prosecuting attorney. Just another reason I'll never go there
You're a liar, & you shamed homosexuals & the blacks by what you did. I will have a hard time believing anybody was harassed ever again. I wonder how much the judge got paid off to close his record to. Hes done a lot of damage to believeability of people who cry Racist attack
It must be nice to have friends in high high places like ex presidents who can help you get out of jail free. I will never watch anything where this man in it He is a puke. Everyday men have to serve time, I guess when you're rich enough & know the right people you don't have to.
He got caught lying bigtime & the city spent all that time& money investigating.He continues to lie with no remorse for what he's done by saying he's 'been truthful & consistent on every level since day 1'. SHAMEFUL!Watch Hollywood reward him with work.The guy has no credibility.
A Hateful Fake Plastic person who is Guilty. Again Two-Teared Justice System. The Judge is Corrupt !
Acting ass haha
It's not who you know but who you blow
A man of faith in what? Lies?
If you were a halfway descent actor 🤪, you wouldn’t have done what you did to the shame of all Blacks & Homosexuals 😖; and I might could believe that Lie you just told 🤣 but let us know how it goes with the FBI 🕵️♂️😢❤️🙏🏾🇺🇸REBT😡

Society is a joke and this clown should be in jail
A deal was cut in secret, he is still a dirt bag.
WTf actors get away with to much shit...he should have to pay back the amount of money in taxes that were spent in his little charade.
Your mother must be proud.
How much did you pay them to get off? Well we know it was $10,000 for sure.
He better watch out for a lightning bolt... with that whopper of a lie.
Don’t ever want to hear the words anti gay or racist ever again this is proof the system is rigged for those who can afford not against gender preferences or color!!!!!fucking losers!!!!!
I have nothing but disrespect and contempt for this person and I won't watch any movie or show he is in ever.
sooo - why would the record be sealed? something smells fishy here
There is something rotten in denmark. Even the DA employees are fuming. Smullett was stumping with Camel Harris.I think Jussie was going to rat off some high ups that offered employment for riots.
Smollett is a bold face lier. And that judge needs to be removed from his office. I've heard of the Chicago way, is that Chicago Justice? I don't blame all those cops being pissed off as well they should be. Nobody likes being lied to.
What a joke of the legal system!
What a crock If you or me did what he did yep be in jail. Is he related to the Clintons? Ha.
No sir you are a piece of s*** and a criminal You Are Not Innocent you paid two men to beat you up they have the checks why didn't you have your day in court so you can be considered innocent cuz you're a fraud and you're guilty
Money Talks.... And Bullshit Walks.
He's not called an actor and Entertainer for nothing. I'm sure he put on a Oscar winning performance to end all performances. Well at least we now know who the real privileged people are.
Didn't they have a signed check from him? Ha
Common did you really expect justice when corrupt people in high places had a hand in this blatant cover up? Don't worry with the amount of people crossing the border we will have our own people elected into high powered political positions.
This is what privilege looks like..
LOL
So, in essence, this will signal more 'false flag attacks' & 'The little boy who cried wolf' scenarios will be encouraged by whiny,morally debased, & greedy slobs like SMELLIT 💩 What an obscene display on warped 🤬justice!!
Crooked Chicago officials took a bribe. B.S.
Is this the same judge that gave the black kids probation for kidnapping and torturing a white disabled kid
Like Trump a white rich man Jussie Smollett a black rich man is exonerated his 16 count felony charges dropped after blindingly clear evidence he reported a FALSE attack to police, conspired to do so, two witness he PAID and a canceled check to these witnesses. WTF!!!!
Ridiculous. OJ repeat
OJ all over again
What a joke. I would be in jail if i had pull this stunt just to you the fairness in our law
Good for him. Now he can go back too whatever it is he do.
Incredible the power some people have. He literally used a 'Get out of jail' card. People have done more time for marijuana possession that this fool will ever do.
THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL BLACK PRIVILEGE- See Kamala, Booker, Obama's for further information on this case
Black privilege.
What an A-Hole!!!
