“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.

Among the worst images resulting from this imbroglio comes this horrowshow that wasn't photoshopped.

You can almost see how good they feel about themselves, it's so embarrassing, even more so considering the recent "revelations" i.e. stuff that was obvious to anyone who didn't have blinders on. Thank goodness we knew where the cast and crew of one of the most dogshit shows on tv stood on this issue!

Frankly, I wonder how many of these people agreed to be in that photo only because somebody much higher up the food chain was all gung-ho about it, and they either didn't want to deal with the bullshit, or face any repercussions, either for saying "No" to participating in this communal display of shared woke-ness, or suggesting that something about Jussie's story seemed off.

I do see some smug faces, but there's a few people in that pic who look kind of awkward, and not thrilled to be there. I wonder how many of the ones standing in the back are there because they really didn't want to be any closer to the front than they could get away with. After all, jobs in TV--even on a shitty sitcom--are hard to come by, and we all know how vengeful the regressive left is toward anybody who disagrees with it, or steps out of line. Sometimes, playing along really does seem like the best option, especially when you're replaceable. So I can't tar everybody in that photo with the same brush.

Wil Wheaton, though? Fuck that guy.

Tv show? Those people look like a liberal arts college faculty. Who are they?

Big Bang Theory cast and crew.

Big Bang Theory cast and crew.

God awful show. I hope Jim parsons gets aids like your average sodomite and dies for thus terrible show.

 

[Dracula's Spirit Animal]

You realize the shit storm anthrax or any bioterror attack, real or fake, causes to people and the tax payer, right? Cleanup isn't cheap and shutting down a massive facility in the Chicago area affects tens of millions of people.

For that alone, that fag needs to go to prison.


Gay marriage is only okay if it's two hot chicks and I get to watch.

I demand pictures. Also, I have a games theory idea regarding what should be the view of lesbians and faggots:

I approve of faggots, and I think every other guy should be one. That removes potential competitors from the environment. The more the better. I strongly disapprove of lesbians, because that removes potential sex partners. And this stuff is almost for every faggo, you remove two competitors, and for every lesbo, you remove two possible mates.

This is entirely facetious, but I find it a fun argument to piss off almost everybody who has strong opinions about homos. I told this to a lesbian friend of mine, and she said my math was wrong: For every gay guy, that removes about eight other guys from competition.

I can kind of believe that theory that Kamala Harris and Cory Booker were in on this stunt to push their anti-lynching bill. As soon as this story came out they were bringing up that bill plan.

Chicago police framed Jussie Smollett because they are pro-Trump

 

[TowinKarz]

There are only two possible outcomes, as you know, when the police investigate a crime.

-They have no evidence, so they pin it on a black guy in an act of pure racist incompetence.
-They have lots of evidence, so it was clearly all a frame job on a black guy in an act of pure racist evil.

And nothing in between, of course.

Wil Wheaton, though? Fuck that guy.

Big Bang Theory cast and crew.

Is Wil Wheaton a regular there, or did he just come to set when he heard about chances to show his virtue?

He was on this week's episode. Don't know how far ahead they film, but the show is ending this year so he's probably going to be on more as they wrap up plots for good.

Maybe they should wrap it up with having Wil Wheaton do a fake hate crime.

It must be true because hate crimes have never been faked.

I see 2 black women, 1 Indian guy and a whole lot of honkies, that's not very diverse. Why so racist Hollywood?

Apart from the obvious symbolism you know that this was also taken in B&W to fan race flames, fuckers.

 

[Stab You in the Back]

Chuck Lorre may be a massive shitlib, but he's not stupid. None of his half dozen hit shows had a black character in the main cast.

 

[Maxliam]

Maybe they should wrap it up with having Wil Wheaton do a fake hate crime.

Maybe they should actually lynch that fag and throw in his gay lover Jim to get rid of two queens at once.

 

[Jub-Jub]

Chuck Lorre may be a massive shitlib, but he's not stupid. None of his half dozen hit shows had a black character in the main cast.

You've just made me realise that Chuck could easily go and retool his projects into black properties and win all of the money and awards for the next decade.

I wonder how many more years before the female lesbian population is overtaken by male lesbians? The future is female? Not for lesbians!

No need. The show itself is a hate crime.

 

[Done]

I just wanna see what Dave Chappelle does with this story. The racial overtones and the sheer absurdity of it makes it an inevitability that he will make material on this.

 

[Antique Rice]

Can someone tell me if I parsed this correctly? The writer is a lesbian woman who married a woman who believes herself to be a man? Isn't that a bit contradictory?

Queer no longer means strictly gay. It's turned into not-strictly-straight. So basically she couldn't call herself gay so that's what she settled on.

I wonder how many more years before the female lesbian population is overtaken by male lesbians? The future is female? Not for lesbians!

Sooner than you think. The future is transbian!
Lesbian trapped in a man's body used to be shit we'd joke about but truth is now stranger than fiction.

 

[Ruin]

He did weigh in already, he wrote on Twitter that he knew it was a hoax because the stuff the alleged white supremacist attackers shouted didn't sound like something white people would say it sounded like something he would say.
