“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.

Brothers questioned in Jussie Smollett case break silence

Spoiler: We wuz Americans and sheeit

Two Nigerian brothers questioned by Chicago police in connection with a reported attack on "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett are breaking their silence. Ola and Abel Osundairo went from persons of interest in the case to potential suspects to being released without charges.

CBS Chicago spoke with the Osundairo brothers Monday afternoon. In a joint statement, they said: "We are not racist. We are not homophobic and we are not anti-Trump. We were born and raised in Chicago and are American citizens."

Smollett, who is black and gay, has said he was assaulted on January 29 by two men shouting racial and homophobic slurs. He told police they shouted "This is MAGA country!"

Police said the Osundairo brothers were captured on surveillance video at the time that Smollett said he was attacked. Ola Osundairo is connected to Smollett through the hit show "Empire" where he played a prisoner in season two.

Both brothers apparently left Chicago on the day of the alleged attack and were detained when they returned Wednesday. Chicago detectives tore through their apartment looking for clues, and an evidence log shows they found ropes, masks and bleach. They were released Friday night without charges.

A source close to the investigation told CBS News that the brothers told detectives Smollett paid them to participate in the attack. The brothers said they bought rope that was found around Smollett's neck at a nearby hardware store. A raid of their home turned up ropes, masks and bleach.

The Chicago Police Department released a statement Saturday night saying information from the brothers had "shifted the trajectory of the investigation."

"We can confirm that the information received from the individuals questioned by police earlier in the Empire case has in fact shifted the trajectory of the investigation. We've reached out to the Empire cast member's attorney to request a follow-up interview," the statement read.

Smollett's attorneys, Todd S. Pugh and Victor P. Henderson, issued a statement late Saturday saying Smollett was "angered and devastated" by reports that he knew the people associated with the alleged attack.

But we call ourselves Nigerians, lament how we're forced to play roles on television as Nigerian criminals, both have criminal records, then choose to commit a terrorist act through the mail, and hoax a hate crime. My fucking sides. The balls on these niggers.

Dese men have lost de're wey...

 

[KerryDixon9]

If this is the camera the faggot was hoaxing under then he wouldn't know which way it was facing. It's even possible that it's a dummy camera or the company don't bother recording from it.

I’m actually curious if they are actually citizens or “born in USA.” The names aren’t typical for first generation immigrants kids born stateside, but I’m sure this investigation will thoroughly vet any immigration status.

Also “not anti-Trump”? So they are MAGA loving chaps afterall?

They're whatever the fuck the crisis management team Jussie hired says they are. At least until this dies down and there aren't millions of people watching.

Nah, the Nigerian brothers are being put up at a hotel and babysat by CPD until they go before the grand jury. They aren’t letting anyone from Team Jussie get a mile near these dudes. Nigerians are throwing Jussie under the bus.

 

[Ruin]

Isn't he already on the hook for at least one felony? The FBI was involved and I believe lying to a federal officer which he did is a Federal offense.

The dumb motherfucker didn't pay them anywhere near enough to go to jail for him.

It's also the one they go to if they basically say fuck even bothering with the rest of this case and just want you to do some time. Lie to the feds and if they feel like it you will be doing time. This is why never ever talk to the feds. Any little thing you say can turn into a "false statement" even if your intentions are good.

Seriously, $4k for multiple felonies? Nah nigga, I'm good.

 

[Sam Losco]

I wish the camera had caught the attack. The police investigation would have gone the same way regardless thanks to the dumbasses doing it when it was -20 outside. But it would have been even better to have video of it. Some great memes would have come from having that video.

/r/politics had an initial thread on him when the story first got around, but they haven't made any since. You can see that thread here (Archive). The most entertaining comment was from this guy who absolutely refuses to admit that he was wrong:

Thankfully, most of the comments responding to him are dunking on him.

What that Reddit fag doesn't understand because of TDS, is that those are actually the same thing even though he's trying to paint them as different. People didn't believe either story because everyone not suffering from TDS understands that Trump supporters/right wingers are not inherently racist, and especially not to the point of going around looking for non-whites to fuck with it. It had nothing to do with defending white Catholics and disbelieving a black man. That is purely a left wing/TDS fiction.

Let's assume that is the exact camera he though would catch it. That is a PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) camera, and from the looks of it, an Axis brand camera (extremely common). It's entirely possible that the cold knocked it offline, especially if it's an older model (their first gen Q60xx-E series all used the same power board which has a tendency to short out and kill it). Even if it was online, it's a PTZ so it could have been re-aimed from when he scouted the location. The dome looks clear so you can see where it's aimed assuming it was light enough when he scouted to be able to see. If it was dark, even with a clear dome, it's going to be hard to see where it's pointed.

I'm sure someone of Jussie's immense intelligence assumed the protective dome was the lens.

 

[DrRockzosNose]

This is just too fucking perfect man. The second they walked without charges I had a feeling they'd be under CPD watch due to all the angry nig's wanting to take these 2 out of the picture so Jussie's story HAS to be believed. Did you guys see Harris try to play dumb and shoot her aide's a dirty look when she was asked about her lynching tweet?

Edit: Just a thought too, Jussie is a bitch made little punk so if Harris and Booker are involved then I bet he will roll on them too. He's gonna be facing federal charges for the fake powder, fake letter AND sending it through USPS, and lying to a federal agent at least.

 

[Maggots on a Train v2]

Apparently the day before, Jussie auditioned for a broadway play in where a black baseball player comes out as gay and is attacked.

They're just jacking off their martyr complexes at this point. The audience will be 99.9% wealthy white people, and they will all think they are better people just because they gawked at this piece of fiction.

 

[Count groudon]

Still not as bad as his sister's name "Jurnee".

Real talk: what did these kids do to make their parents hate them enough to give them names that sound like ramblings from a deaf person with a broken jaw?

The all have those dumb J names.

“Smollett was born in Santa Rosa, California, and is the third of six children born to Janet (née Harris) and Joel Smollett.[9] He has three brothers and two sisters: Jake, Jocqui, Jojo, Jurnee, and Jazz, several of whom are also actors.[10] Smollett is biracial.[11] His father was Jewish (his family emigrated from Russia and Poland). Smollett's mother is African-American.[12] He graduated from Paramus Catholic High School in Paramus, New Jersey.[13]”

Thankyou for that gem. Didn't even notice it first watch. Holy fuck she is unprepared.

 

[Ebonic Tutor]

"Jojo”

Well, this certainly isn't the bizarre adventure his brother was hoping for I bet.

 

[Jub-Jub]

While he should have started with a small crime like vandalism, i think you are forgetting just how dumb he is. His first go to was to commit felonies by the fake hate mail letter with fake anthrax inside of it and when this didn't get media traction he had to go harder. There's no way he would go back to petty crimes for victim points and attention after the hate mail hoax.

I wish the camera had caught the attack. The police investigation would have gone the same way regardless thanks to the dumbasses doing it when it was -20 outside. But it would have been even better to have video of it. Some great memes would have come from having that video.

The way CPD played gay Tupac like a fiddle still gives me a small hope that they have the assault tape and are playing it 24/7 in the break room for their own amusement.

The way CPD played gay Tupac like a fiddle still gives me a small hope that they have the assault tape and are playing it 24/7 in the break room for their own amusement.

I imagine it's something like this if they do.

Just substitute cheek for ear.
