Good

Why was it even in question?

Good

I wish they would make up their minds. Or maybe I should say I wish the media would get it right! Or maybe I should also say I hope it’s true. Well with today’s media you never know what to believe.

Finally some good news

He’ll probably have his own show on msnbc. Maybe co-host The View? Endless possibilities.

So Messy Mullet is out . . . what a surprise!

He’ll be making a film for Disney called The Lying King.

I’m sure Michelle Obama will make phone calls and fix that too

good, they wanted to write him out of the show anyways

Is he doing subway commercials now? I wonder if he knows he was the 'b**ch'......

I’m confused Smollett option to renew was extended, but he won’t be in the 6 th season. What does that mean?

So basically the show is cancelled

This is shocking. The lying self-absorbed idiot who damaged those who r truly hated on, and wasted so much police time and $ is not renewed? Can’t believe Empire wouldn’t want back such an outstanding human being!!!

Why ever return?
