FILE - This March 26, 2019 file photo shows actor Jussie Smollett before leaving Cook County Court after his charges were dropped in Chicago. Fox Entertainment says Smollett will not return to its series “Empire” in the wake of allegations by Chicago officials that the actor lied about a racially motivated attack. The studio released a statement Tuesday, April 30, saying “there are no plans for Smollett’s character of Jamal to return to ‘Empire.’” No reason was given.
“By mutual agreement, the studio has negotiated an extension to Jussie Smollett’s option for season six, but at this time there are no plans for the character of Jamal to return to ‘Empire,’” the studio said in a statement that gave no reasoning was given for the decision.
Ohhhh, darn. Now he has time to create more MAGA productions...
kgbt Good
Good!
MadisonSiriusXM Aww WHY?
MadisonSiriusXM Could be another hoax?
MadisonSiriusXM Didn’t know there was a next season 🤷🏾♂️.
That's the END of EmpireFOX
I can hear the bill collectors now!

Not sure why he got an extension on his contract if they aren't planning on bringing him back. That's pretty odd. Either way, he shouldn't be rewarded for his behavior.
Bet he gets killed of by 2 MAGA hat rednecks with a noose and bleach
A big loss?
Ruined his own career. Greed is not good. Who knew?
lookner What a surprise! He's dog meat. He's got no talent.
Roseanne was burned as a witch in less than a day. Why so long? Amazing.
Ouch
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s not a surprise. No one with self respect will ever allow such criminals into their lives. Disgraceful, separatist, and shameless act by this so call “actor”
That’s a shame.
Another attempt to attack & deminish black icon weshallovercome
No matter what u do or say u can't run from your issues!
Who cares
show gotten to boring anyway needs to be off tv
So are we ready to take care of that whole Jacob Wohl trying to frame Pete Buttigieg firvsexually assaulting a guy thing, because I think it’s the same as the Jussie issue.
Empire shouldn't return for its next season. It jumpedtheshark a very long time ago.
first Foxx absolves, then Fox damns
I came for the comments
Is this a hoax?
Great Jamal can come back using a new actor tho
He’ll be on the 30 man - I meAn 30 person CNN Collusion panel
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Empire is done!
Good move!
Bummer.
I wonder if he was just getting blackmailed the whole time... Fox would really regret this decision if so.
LOL all that grandstanding by Fox during and after the investigation was for nothing
Should have cancelled the damn show outright.
Really? He couldn't fake an attack. Q total looks looser
I'm sure CNN is hiring him right this moment. They DO love liars.
Not return or not rehired? Important distinction... anyone who hires him should be shunned
Is this really breaking news. Let’s see how many “actors” will boycott working on the set of empire now that jussie is going to prison. 🤣😂🤣🤣😂
Go away forever Jussie!!!!
Actual footage of Fox giving him that 'raise':
MikaylaOrtega7 Boo hoo.
grannyman2013 Is this a surprise?

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This is probably the greatest self-own in history.
How cute. The Producers of EmpireFOX are essentially contributing to his current (AND) future legal fees. Sickening...
It would be too much of a distraction for a show I’ve never seen.
they don’t want that ‘negative hit to their bottom line’ smoke
What did he expect?
🍆 🦊 You figure it out
Devestating news to the 13 people that actually watch the show.
FUCKED
lookner Do they know something we don't?
lookner GOOD!!
Walmart
Shocked! You mean they bagged him...he was robbed!
But may be the new Jessie in Orange is the New Black.
Good. Time time get a new perspective. You are living in a bigoted empire.
RT : Actor Jussie Smollett will not return to 'Empire' next season, Fox Entertainment ...
One guest appearance on NBCChicagoPD would break ratings records! NBC Smollett
Well that's okay everyone is replaceable
Oh darn. I'm gonna miss him. No wait I've never watched. Forget it!
Omg, a person I never heard of as an actor before is greatest acting role is not returning to a show I had never heard of until this unknown actors real life acting
lookner
Good
rentonMagaUK Undeserving Con Man!
Good. Next story.
He wrote a book
Prison rules may obstruct production
I hope they change their minds, but Lee Daniels seems like he wants to please the racist whites. I'm not going to watch it if Smollett is not staring. He and Cookie make the show.
Ya think?
I mean, we could easily talk about how realDonaldTrump is a false prophet, but instead it is jussie. Wow FoxNews you guys are hitting a new low every day, amazing.
There isn’t going to be a next season anyway.
JussieSmollett your fans have spoken. Take a look.
Should be in prison, not on television
He shouldn’t be invited back. He should thank his lucky stars he’s not in jail and figure out the rest of his life. He needs psychological help, too
Good
DUDE JUST FIRE THE JOKE!!!... holly hell
He’s such a hero!
Back to the ghettos. Some place he was missing according to his acts.
Yah no shit.
Regardless of ‘color’ (which many focus on) he pulled some bullshit that just should. Not. Fly. Reel. What. You. Sow.
Yay😀
You blew a good job with good pay for your silly stunt of deception. Was there a voice in your head vindictively coaxing you to topple yourself Jussie Smollett? Something in your childhood to blame for this downfall?
That's alright. I have a son who could easily replace him
Our long national nightmare is over.
clarencehilljr Do people still watch Empire
I am waiting for the FBI to act
Good riddance. His character outlived its purpose. He overcame and became a happy gay guy. The end.
If he was a better actor, maybe he could have pulled it off.
I haven't watched since 2nd season. So What!!!
Good!
lookner 🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑
Well I fucking guess not.
No shit
Way to further your career bro
Hello ratings bring him back
But they were so supportive of him!
No shit.....lol
Good!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There is justice.
Hes being replaced by a white guy.
Glad they let him go for being stupid! I hope that ordeal was worth it.
Hopefully he’ll be in jail instead!
Goooood!
Liars like him are all in politics
Same energy
Homophobia won
Great, he should be in jail.
I just read that the show wasn’t sure where he stood, on another site. Five minutes later. This!
dangerous 🚩
The wedding was a wonderful send off... ✌🏽
It's probably for the best. Btw: Nazis must die
His stunt only showed that he's not that talented...
I’ll take “things we all saw coming” for 500
Good
