“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.

You don't need to be mentally ill to do something like this. All you need to have is a drastic lack of common sense and a tremendous case of ego and entitlement.

Pretty much everyone in the entertainment industry has an entourage of agents and media people to make sure theirs isn't exposed to the public in such devastating ways.

The hospital picture is hilarious.

He needed a visible injury to sell the story, but he still wanted to be pretty for his TV appearance, so that's the extent of the injuries the vain faggot could bring himself to inflict upon himself.

"Oh, my poor pretty face!"

Oh no, those insidious trump supporters snuck up behind him and said boo while he was shaving.

Those fucking fiends.

His defense will be that the brothers are lying and disguised themselves so they could rob him without him knowing. The brothers said all the racist shit to make it seem like a hate crime to throw off police.

Everyone keeps mentioning "starting a conversation", but what conversation is this supposed to start? Don't beat up gay black men? Is this a controversial subject?

Here's what I'm more interested in: is it considered a hate crime if two black men hurt each other? Or does it have to be some bullshit "power dynamic" to be classified as a hate crime? We all know the answer (fuck all white men), but apparently it continues to elude progressives.

The real importance of this hoax is exposing more people to the lengths people are willing to go to become victims and gain pity points. People are desperate to be a victim in some way, shape, or form. Why is this sentiment receiving praise? Why is it wrong to want to be a strong person with thick skin?

If our nation were to go to war today and this pussified group of Twitter users had to enlist in the army, they would die on day 1 of basic training. Sad excuses for men.

He would have to claim it was a feud or argument. The idea that he fought off a robbery attempt 1 v 2 will never be bought and the idea that it was a successful robbery if they left him his phone will never be bought.

I'm in the camp that he was sucking at least one of their dicks and maybe more. He was the star and they're trying to break into the scene with body building, merch company, acting, etc. Watch, some kind of romantic element is going to get introduced true or not.

Thousands of hate crime are happening every day. We need to address that by giving more money to activists groups and berating white people into hating themselves more. There is no reason that the majority of high profile ones you hear about are proven to be fakes after the media moves on.

Just throwing this out, but do you lot know just how close the "attack site" is to Trump's building in Chicago? I knew roughly how close they were because I've been to the UK embassy in Chicago to get a visa, but I just looked and it was even closer than I thought it was.

Just checking on Google Earth and you can see Trump's tower from the entrance of the building where the faggot lives. It's a 5 minute walk tops.

The videos I've seen never mentioned the Trump tower and I've never seen any mention of these facts. Is this my

or are you lot shocked by how close Trump's building is and how the media didn't play this part up?

When was the last time anyone ever used a noose in a hate crime, anywhere in the US? Whenever I hear a story about "THREATENING NOOSE FOUND", it invariably turns out to be a hoax by some out-of-touch black guy who still thinks there are literal sheet-wearing noose-slinging Klansmen roaming the streets.

There's been a few cases of dead blacks being found hung over the past couple of years, but it turned out they were all hung by other blacks, so who cares

Or they were part of the 40%.

The last recorded racially motivated lynching murder according to the FBI happened in 1971 so no one has been lynching blacks for a long ass time. The average age of a KKK member is 68 for fucks sake.

There's also a tendency for people to count anyone hanging from a tree dead as "lynched" including that white dude who strung himself up as a suicide a year or so ago in a public park, the internet went berserk over the "lynching" until the facts came out. .... kinda like how every gun going off on school-owned property is a "school shooting" even in cases where an SRO either had an accidental discharge or violence from an unrelated event spilled onto the athletic field after hours..... the definitions are intentionally watered-down to make the issue appear bigger than it is, and even then, it barely reaches statistical significance when weighted against the populace.

It would appear his original lawyer Monico was so against his strong denial (and I’m paying him as a fitness trainer BS excuse) statement that he said he wouldn’t represent him if he was determined to put out such a stupid statement.

Obviously Monica knows he’s guilty as shit and wanted to try to play it smart and stay quiet but Jussie knows best and was too mad about the real beating he’s taking in the media and SM so released it anyway. His new attorneys are in for a hell ride if Jussie is determined to play innocent victim absurdity to the hilt - which is fantastic for us.

Jussie has spent too much time convincing himself that because some MAGA racists exist somewhere that he’s totally justified in his hoax cuz it could’ve happened!!! He’s going to play the ridiculous hysterical lying sack of shit until either the cops or his own lawyers force it otherwise.

I predict Jussie will end up trying to accuse the Nigerians of blackmail or attacking him for xxx reason while disguised as MAGA terrorists. Even with all the proof against him he will keep telling absurd lies and flinging accusations at any target he can. Jussie cannot not be a victim!!

why would his lawyer drop him over this? the lawyer gets paid either way, no matter the outcome, so why would he jump ship over his client acting dumg? lawyers are pretty used to their clients doing exceptional shit tbh

They still have reputations to consider. Also, it's very possible that the story he fed his first lawyer was as false as what he's fed the American people and the CPD. Attorneys can't help clients if they lie to them.

More memes please, fellow kiwis.

My man is going down like a sinking ship. If he can't stop running his mouth now, he won't during the trial, he won't take a plea deal, etc. This is like representing a dumpster fire. This isn't even touching on the whole representing the guy who faked a hate crime that made international news.

If the lawyer came up with a defense or spin strategy, and the client decided to go completely off script the way Jussie apparently has, then the lawyer would be justified in telling them "We clearly don't agree on the best way to proceed, you should find other representation." It is, after all, kind of a waste of everyone's time trying to represent someone who is actively undermining your efforts.

Because he's a dumb nigger who can't keep his mouth shut. Ever see a public defender drop a ghetto nog because the stupid moron can't stop incriminating himself and mouthing off to the cops/judge? This is just a high priced variant of that.

@break these cuffs is right and high profile attorneys have their own reputations to consider. Jussie seems determined to make this as difficult as possible and not follow his lawyers advice and get totally destroyed. Lawyers want to be known for helping high profile clients get off or their wrists slapped, not known for representing a flaming trash heap who lied his way into jail, fines and becoming a laughing stock.

No credible lawyer wants to rep a loose cannon who won’t listen to sound advice because the end result of the client getting ass reamed by the courts makes the lawyer look bad too.
