Jussie Smollett‘s brother has defended him in an op-ed, suggesting that Americans should re-examine the details of the case and consider the possibility that the Empire actor is telling the truth. The 36-year-old was accused of hiring two men to stage a racist and homophobic attack on him in downtown

1 / 2Jussie Smollett‘s brother has defended him in an op-ed, suggesting that Americans should re-examine the details of the case and consider the possibility that the Empire actor is telling the truth.

In the piece, published on BET.com, Jojo Smollett writes that his brother was the subject of ”repeated and unrelenting attacks to his character and reputation”, adding: “Like so many others, this entire process quickly devolved from a focus on him as a victim of assault, to him being falsely accused and held responsible for a crime that was perpetrated against him. To define this experience as unjust would be an understatement.

“Is that all it takes to destroy a lifelong dedication to one’s craft and community?,” the piece continues. “Is it really that easy to convince the world of a person’s guilt? Is that all it takes to turn someone’s life upside down in America? Simply ask yourself this, ‘What if Jussie is telling the truth?’”

“All pointing to not only an advancing career but a business savvy mind. To suggest that he staged his own attack to boost a sagging career is ludicrous,” Jojo adds.

he's not in everybody knows he's not telling the truth he know he's not telling the truth, because he put that first lie out there now he has to tell more lies to back up the lie he told

Every man in prison is innocent, just ask.

😂😂😂

He is a liar wake up

Show his phone records

If he is, prove it.

Lock him up.

What IF he's not telling the truth?

What if Smollett was a racist who would stop at nothing for attention?... not once, but twice. And what if he would have been able to “identify” two innocent white people? And what if the TRUTH ever would fall from his lips? Too late TheBoyWhoCriedWolf

So he’s not sure either.

But he isnt...so give it a break

if u have to ask that question means he is not telling truth just want attention

And what if the earth really is revolving around around the moon?

Make believe. That’s one thing that’s terribly wrong these days.

What if the brother attacked him? Then what? What if all of this goes away? Then everyone will live happily ever after.

🙄🙄

Why is this poofter NOT in jail? Shame on Kimberly Foxx and her racist manipulation. She should be disbarred.

What if Hillary was lesbian? What if Bill Clinton wasn’t in love with Hillary? What if Michelle Obama is transgender? What if John McCain was a closet Democrat? What if Pelosi was anti American? What if ...

'When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging'

Someone needs to jump him for reals. This shit's getting ridiculous.

I want everyone who is reading this to understand that this ungrateful, liberal, intercity, intolerant LBGT opportunist parasite freak, was going to lie to investigators & pick 2 innocent white men out of a police lineup and send them to jail for 20 years! I want his fuckin head!

Where are the pictures of proof?

Keep word “IF” guess he doesn’t believe him either!

= Then the Tooth Fairy will see to it that everything is set straight.
