“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.

Argh come on, why you do this to me bro?

If that video has any gems of useful info, or anything beyond some sped reading the same shit we've already read, please, preferably quote it, or at the very fucking least give a time where something important happens.

Some exceptional dude reading something to me is not more informative than reading it myself. His exceptional opinions along the way are equally worthless.

Police subpoenaed Jussie.

Being so uncooperative with the investigation that the police have to subpoena your phone records does wonders for the perceived veracity of this dude's claims.

Looking forward to the inevitable riots in six weeks or so when the city of Chicago announces they're prosecuting him for filing a false police report.

I'm not enraged enough to give too much of a shit. I usually do timecodes and sources, but I'm not that invested. If you want the specific subpoena part, 9:45 is the time code.

If you want the article he is reading:

When Smollet is in jail for this chicanery I think instead of walking up to the biggest dude in the cell block and punching him, he'll walk up to the biggest dude in the cell block and offer to be his cocksleeve.

The Chicago PD still think he was the victim of a crime, but if they find out he lied they're going to throw the book at him. It'll probably just be a big ass fine. Money says everyone who jumped to his defense will either pretend it never happened and memory hole their Twitter rambling, or they'll continue to believe it really happened. #believeallniggafaggots

The CPD knew that he was lying almost immediately, and all the info and evidence they’ve gathered since has only reinforced their first suspicions. The CPD detectives know bullshit when they see it, and this is utter and complete bullshit.

That he’s a black, gay celebrity is the only thing stopping the police from directly stating the obvious fact that this is a hate crime hoax.

The police have no interest in prosecuting him and opening themselves up to the accusations of racism that would surely follow. The cops want this all to go away, and their tough talk hinting is just a warning to “the victim” that if he gets even slightly shitty with them, they will drop the anvil of reality on his head.

What makes this case interesting is for once they're actually NOT going to let him get away with it. Local media are reporting a CPD superintendent told them that they'll hold him accountable if he filed a false report.

The fine will be enormous because they can fine you what your false report cost the police. So Jussie, if he faked this, is looking to reimburse the CPD for the THOUSANDS of man hours they put into it on top of the cost of use of equipment and other resources (including, I'd imagine, calling in the FBI to help with the investigation). I wouldn't be surprised if the fine ends up being in the high six or low seven figure range, possibly more.

Critics online continued to poke holes in Smollett’s story, pointing out that bleach freezes at 18 degrees and it was -9 in Chicago on Jan. 29. Others questioned why he appeared calm and didn’t mention the attack to his apartment lobby attendant, and why Smollett would want to hold onto his bleach-soaked Subway sandwich – which he somehow managed to save along with his phone while fighting back during the violent encounter.

Fuckin' racist gay-bashing assholes with all their facts and reasonable questions!!!

Others pointed to Smollett’s profanity-laced online rants against President Trump, including a vile tweet not long before the alleged attack.

TDS strikes again.

I'm starting to feel more vindicated about immediately calling bullshit in a room full of my friends when this first came on the news.

Whenever a racist hate crime occurs, call bullshit. You'll be right at least 95% of the time.

Just maybe do it in your head for the first few days. Part of the reason people pull shit like this is because of the overwhelming positive fervor it gets them. All it takes is some lunatic coworker thinking you're on the wrong side of history to try and fuck you up.

Yeah, fair point, I mean internally call bullshit.

You gotta do what you gotta do to prevent big brother from wrecking you.

They will say the same garbage they did when it turned out that some rape accusations were hoaxes: "But...but...it started a conversation, you guise!"

And they'll ignore, of course, as they always do, the fact that for the last six or seven years, that conversation has never, ever, stopped.

"I'm sick. I need help."

That'll be how this ends. No tangible consequences.

They'll find a way to blame it on Trump and his supporters too. Maybe he'll blame the stress of Trump's administration putting him into a bad head space and then the whole dialogue will be forced towards mental health in the United States. The fact this guy lied repeatedly, blatantly, straight into the faces of millions, will be sidelined by the sympathetic media and Empire will carry on as normal. Fuck, they might even base an episode around the fictional incident.

This rich fag owes the city of Chicago money. There are a dozen poor fucks who *know* this is bullshit working on the "case". He owes personally apologies, and fuckin money. We will see neither.

...yes indeed. Ya could say the noose is tightening. Gonna be fascinating to see how the media plays this.

It'll be memory holed.
