“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.

Okay, so initially Jussie didn’t mention “MAGA", but TMZ said it happened while the Chicago police denied it (and it wasn’t in the initial report). Then the police ask Jussie in the hospital and he was like ‘oh yeah, they totally said that’...

Who even started that, TMZ?

I can't wait until he digs the hole deeper and starts claiming that they were toting a burning cross.

If this does turn out to be a hoax, watch the narrative shift to him having PTSD/psychotic break from “living in Trump’s America” or some shit.

Weird that he asked to have them switch their body cams off.

What the fuck is even going on here?

We're living in a dark timeline where a news story breaks out, yet we're still waiting for any FACTS or information to come out. How can I even form an opinion when there's basically zero information presented so far?

But, of course, we have people coming out of the woodworks to jump to conclusions.

Part of me wants to see it be a hoax just to deflate those egos.

They'll dig their heels deeper into the ground if it turns out to be a hoax.

That or say "WELL IT STARTED A DIALOG AMIRITE?"

edit
Speak of the devil. Narrative just keeps unraveling but I gurantee there will probably be no consequences for wasting time, money and man power over this clown.

Yeah, it's a bit odd they have no problem finding video of Smollet at the scene of the crime but the cameras missed the attackers somehow.

 

[Piga Dgrifm]

Oh they are wanting SOOOOOO badly for this to be true after the Covington thing.

It won't matter if it's proven to be a hoax, people will continue citing it as proof of the Literal Nazi Uprising anyway.

I hope that faggot show gets canceled.

Then he gets lynched.

The attackers are literally so white they're invisible to the naked eye.

Nah, you’re thinking of the actual (fake) story about two rednecks who assaulted and tore the hijab off of an innocent muslima while shouting MAGA.

Shit there were multiple times this was claimed.

Or another:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/scarborough-hijab-attack-1.4487716

I wonder, is it worth a thread for all the fake "muh rayciss" attacks, and all the potential "where are they now?" of it? There have been shit-tons of them, especially since Trump got on the political scene.

I can think of a bunch of possibilities. The hookup might have involved with drugs or other unsavory elements. Maybe he just decided that if he had to go public with getting beaten up he'd add a little spice to the story so that it wasn't just a weird story about a gay guy getting beaten up by some dude he met on an app. Maybe it was just a drug deal that went bad. Maybe he just started some shit with someone got into a fight that went badly and made up the MAGA stuff so that it'd play better in the media. There's a lot of possible degrees to which this is bullshit - all that we know for certain is that it's bullshit.

#MAGA hat is becoming the modern equivalent to yesteryears white women trying to avoid scandal/get attention by saying they were attacked by a black man.

- 2 men, white and wearing ski masks - put a rope around his neck - poured bleach on him - "This is MAGA country." In Chicago at 2 a.m. Really?

A TIGER!!!!!???? In AFRICA!!!!!!????

It must be some fishermen....fishing....at night.... in eel infested waters.

TMZ isn't human

I've been questioning this story ever since I read it earlier today. It doesn't help that basically every big "evil Trump supporters attacked me for *insert reason here*" story got revealed as fake stories. I'm waiting to see what else comes from this.

If the story is real, I’ll be truly surprised. As you said, a lot of these incidents end up being hoaxes. The more hoaxes I see, the less likely I’m to believe that there are “evil Trump supporters out to target minorities” drivel the media churns out. Stories like this only serve to polarize people.

At this point I've seen proof of the opposite. People on the left attacking Trump supporters. Like that ANTIFA guy smashing a bike lock into someone's face or videos where groups of anti-Trump people surround a person who wears a MAGA hat in a threatening way. Compared to stories that got into the media and were revealed to be made up.

 

[Malodorous Merkin]

It's pretty clear how this is going to play out.

There will be no corroboration of his account of what happened, none whatsoever, but OUTRAGE Inc. will circle the wagons around him, laud him as a victim-hero, and shout down anyone who dares to voice the slightest doubt as vile Trump Hitler racists.

Chicago will have to self scourge and castigate themselves for being a hotbed of racist homophobery, while ignoring the glaring reality that black street crime continues to rage out of control.

Then the next manufactured drama will pop up next week, nothing will be learned, and all will be forgotten.

 

[KingCoelacanth]

Imagine if every black murder in chicago got this much attention.

Imagine if every black murder in chicago got this much attention.

Chicago would transplant their entire black population into either graves or prisons within 10 years.

 

[Donald Trump's Neck Vag]

I heard that the 'whites' who attacked him were Antifa and that they were actually light-skinned Hispanics, possibly funded by Soros.

No you didn't you lying punk.

So did the DNC directly contact him and ask him to put together this outrageous fabrication to distract from the covington thing, or did he come up with this genious plan on his own?

Also, from the trailers for Empire, it looks like a fucking awful show, with awful main characters. And yeah... no way in hell "MAGA terrorists" are targeting some second rate actor on a third rate show that, as far as I know, isn't even about politics, it's about some black gangster record producers.
