“Empire" actor Jussie Smollett was attacked in the early morning hours on Tuesday in what Chicago police are calling a possible hate crime.

Smollett was attacked by two people "yelling out racial and homophobic slurs" and "poured an unknown chemical substance on the victim," police said.

According to police, one of Smollett's alleged attackers also put a rope around his neck. Both fled the scene.

Smollett took himself to Northwestern Hospital and "is in good condition," police told CNN.

Later Tuesday, CNN's Don Lemon spoke to Smollett and a mutual friend who was at the hospital with the actor. Smollett confirmed the incident took place.

He was shaken and angry that an attack like this could happen. Smollett told CNN he fought back at the attackers.

"Given the severity of the allegations, we are taking this investigation very seriously and treating it as a possible hate crime," the police statement said.

Smollett has starred on Fox's "Empire" since 2015. He plays Jamal, a successful singer in the musical Lyon family. Like his character, Smollett identifies as gay.

"We are deeply saddened and outraged to learn that a member of our 'Empire' family, Jussie Smollett, was viciously attacked last night," a representative of 20th Century Fox Television and Fox Entertainment said in a statement to CNN. "We send our love to Jussie, who is resilient and strong, and we will work with law enforcement to bring these perpetrators to justice. The entire studio, network and production stands united in the face of any despicable act of violence and hate -- and especially against one of our own."

A representative for GLAAD told CNN the organization has reached out Smollett to offer assistance and support.

"Jussie is a true champion for LGBTQ people and is beloved by the community and allies around the world," a GLAAD spokesperson said in a statement.

This story is gross. And yeah that Nigerian definitely did some gay shit with juicy. I have gay friends, I've been to gay bars, social hangouts with other gays, that's one thing. If my gay friend calls me up and asks me to go to a fuckin bathhouse? Nahm good man, you have fun though.

Idk if I'm reading to hard into it, but to me it seems that Jussy wanted his bussy torn open and basically coerced this dude to do gay shit with him. He is an actor with connections after all, wouldn't the Nigerian dude want to be on his good side if he wants to get gigs in the business? If I recall they were like extras on the show or his personal trainers or something like that, so they definitely want to get into show biz.

If you flip the gender and sexuality, this is a Hollywood actor entrapping a woman in a bathhouse and coerced her into sex using his influence and a copious amount of drugs. He'd have a pretty good case for rape if he is willing to go down that road, but seeing as he's a jacked dude and Jussie is a black faggot it's unlikely to inspire any measure of outrage with the populace. Hell, Terry Crews was raped somehow and nobody seems to give a shit about it.

 

[queue-anon]

Black dudes are the exact opposite of desirable of the gay scene.
They're the black women of the gays, essentially.

And considering this was based on... I guess sexual favors?

Nah. That's Asian men. Some black men do well in the gay community, depending on how hot and burly they are. Black twinks might not do well. Maybe that's why a lot of them troon out.

 

[Getting tard comed]

As hilarious as it is that Jussie is kicking own goals on the stand, at least from a reputational perspective, what's been reported isn't exactly good for the prosecution. If the defence has some way to substantiate the gay sex allegations then suddenly the credibility of the brothers comes into question considering they're denying this.

I don't think there's anyway Juicy gets out of this even if they can prove gay stuff happened. Which they can't. Juicy himself didn't claim to have sex with them, he said they made out and jerked off together. He also said he was creeped out by one of the brothers but hired him anyway. No matter how noncredible the brothers are Juicy will have them beat.

Jurys can be hard to predict but... I also don't see how this would really -help- Jussie. Yes, the brothers deny any sexual encounters with Jussie, so let's assume the jury buys this idea Jussie actually did. Well, you have a somewhat closeted gay guy who still is saying damning things. In a head-to-head matchup, he still wins out over Jussie in terms of trustworthiness.

The main way this impacts their credibility isn't showing they lied about gay sex. It's that because if they got deported to Nigeria, they'd be in real trouble for it. So the prosecution could have twisted their arms with the threat of getting sent back to Nigeria to serve hard time or maybe even get killed.

The thing is, other than this phantom white man in a ski mask nobody else saw, there's no other credible perps for the "hate crime" other than the Nigerians.

It's pretty bad when you're less credible than two Nigerians but Jussie's managed it. The only thing I believe him about is the gay shit, and the only thing I don't believe them about is the same gay shit.

Being a faggot is criminalized in Nigeria? Based.

Yep, although I don't think the prosecution would have had to twist their arms at all - that's gotta be a real, massive fear and source of embarrassment for them. They must fucking hate Mr Smollet something shocking right about now.

Cops and prosecutors never fail to twist arms. All they have to do is mention it and offer a deal. That's why witnesses who have cut deals for their own crimes have a lot less credibility.

Didn't they go back to Nigeria for a week or two after the hoax? Also, isn't only one of them under scrutiny for doing gay sex stuff with Jussie, leaving the other brother out of it - presumably the 'creepy' one that Jussie still hired to be a trainer and nutritionist for no ulterior motive whatsoever?

I think we're saying the same thing. The prosecutor simply needed to point out the existence of their arm, no twisting needed. To them, basically any other outcome would be preferable to deportation back to Nigeria. But I'm not a lawyer like you

I'd consider pointedly mentioning something that could get someone killed and offering them a way out to be arm twisting. "Nice arm you have there, be a shame if something happened to it."

Jussie Smollett testifies at his trial: ‘There was no hoax’

The actor faces charges that he lied to Chicago police about the January 2019 attack.

www.politico.com

Excerpts from the Article

“Smollett appeared calm throughout several hours of testimony, saying he wrote the $3,500 check to Abimbola Osundairo for nutrition and training advice. Asked by his defense attorney if he gave Osundairo payment for some kind of hoax, Smollett replied: “Never.”
Attorney Nenye Uche asked again if he planned a hoax.
“No,” Smollett said, “there was no hoax.”
He also said “absolutely not” when asked if he gave Osundairo and his brother $100 to pay for supplies for the fake attack.
Smollett told jurors he had just returned from a trip and was walking home after buying a sandwich around 2 a.m. on Jan. 29, 2019, when someone yelled a racist, homophobic remark. Smollett said he turned around to confront the person, who he said towered over him.”

Also interesting is this excerpt

“Under cross-examination, Smollett said he refused to give Chicago police his cellphone for their investigation because he wanted his privacy. Asked by special prosecutor Dan Webb if he was concerned the phone would show several calls to Abimbola Osundairo, Smollett said no.”

I wonder what you all think will happen to Mr Smollett in court? I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets a good amount of public support due to a black man being on trial for anything many times being viewed with suspicion of a nefarious racial bias by the Courts.

 

[Dan Abrams]

Found guilty and he an heros

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

He is a dumbass. Plain and simple. I haven't seen this much fail since the prisoner who pretended to faint in the courtroom.

 

[Reverend]

The prosecution is giving this trial away....

Making double sure I understand the prior testimony:

1. The two brothers are caught on film buying the equipment that Juicie had around his neck (rope and other stuff)
2. They were paid $3500 in a check signed by Juicie.
3. They admitted they attacked Juicie on that day, at that time.
4. The brothers confessed all this under oath, to the jury.

 

[Francis York Morgan]

Found guilty and he an heros

This motherfucker had to take time from his own defense to talk about how "hot" his show was. He's way too much of a narcissist to kill himself.

 

[Open Window Maniac]

I think he really believes in his own bullshit.

 

[JohnDoe]

This motherfucker had to take time from his own defense to talk about how "hot" his show was. He's way too much of a narcissist to kill himself.

Twist ending, he kills himself in a locked and sealed room, and his last premortem tweet claims that two Maga hat wearing super Nazis just climbed through a portal while yelling racial slurs.

 

[No. 7 cat]

I'm sure the Root (or whatever cuck) will have an article why Trump's hate Presidency created an atmosphere where this could be possible.

This is MAGA country!

No matter how noncredible the brothers are Juicy will have them beat.

I don't think that whether the brother had sex or not with Juicy or if he tried to hide it will affect the credibility at all.
After all, the case does not depend on the brothers testifying at all.
The brothers are basically there to just validate all the hard evidence they have:
* why did Jussie delete the messages and conversations with the brothers that basically said "where are you, are you ready?" just before the "attack".
Remember how when the police finally got access to the phone they compared to the messages that were on the phone with the messages that they got from the phone network. And Jussie had deleted the messages to the brothers.
* the rehersal where jussie even points to the security camera he wants to record the "attack" the day before. That is video evidence they have shown.
* the video that they created where they even recorded the rehersal themselves. How do you explain that away to a jury?

Is his theory that when the jurors sit and discuss they will go "well, the messages and the video recordings are one thing, but what if they lied about having sex?" That won't work, it is irrelevant.

Even if you think that the brothers are lying, it makes no difference at all. They have video evidence of all that happened and message logs.
I just baffels me why he thinks saying that the brothers are gay would help?

But it seems his testify was golden:
* he is such a narc he wastes time testifying talking how great an actor he is and what a great show it was instead of trying to defend himself.
* he throws Fag Lemon under the bus
* and he goes into great detail on how gay sex in bath houses work

I think he knows he will be found guilty but he is setting up the emotional narrative of "yet another innocent black victim of oppressive justice system wrongfully sentenced and this is why we need justice reform". It might be his only choice at this point to try to salvage something.
And then he will transform into Kapernick v2 being the face of black men oppressed by a racist criminal system. Because his acting career is permanently destroyed. This might be his only remaining option going forward.
