'Empire' star Jussie Smollett attacked in possible hate crime

“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.

Oh fucking please. If a white dude made up an attack by two Obama supporters yelling "This is Obama country" we'd still be hearing about and seeing cartoons about it.

Your bias is showing, media...

Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'neil are a fucking legendary comedy duo. Often it's unintentional, but those two can generate some genuine laughs. Someone needs to give those guys a show where they just talk about whatever crazy things are on their mind, along with the insane bets they currently have going.

Funny you bring that up because I recall there was a attack on someone on a subway around the time Trump was elected but it was real not fabricated and yes it got swept away rather quickly.

And there were also those black teens who kidnapped and tortured an autistic man for being white and (supposedly) being a trump supporter. They streamed it too and that still wasn't enough for it to hit primetime

Call it The Bark Shaq. Barkley, O'Neill, and Weintraub, Attorneys at Laugh? BS!
 
"Maybe with the wording. Maybe with James Baldwin and Toni Morrison saying something to Jussie Smollett. I'm not sure - maybe nothing could have made it inoffensive." Breen said he was attempting to satirize Smollett through the incongruity of the cartoon's roster.


"The problem is, I was trying to contrast Jussie Smollett with James Baldwin and Toni Morrison, and people read it as a comparison," says Breen, who notes that going forward, he will more carefully vet his cartoons involving race.

He could have done all those things and people would still be offended. Once the progressive crowd circles their wagons around someone, they stay circled.

What's most absurd here is how he fucked himself over. He could've staged a hate crime and make it fully believable in a single afternoon.
All he needed to do is take a shortcut through some less frequented streets between two believable locations at a non-exceptional time when the weather isn't going to kill you, and then bash his own head on a wall. Then all he has to do is say that he heard some mean racist poopoohead called him a niggerfaggot from behind, he turned around and suddenly he went out cold after being smashed into a wall.
Infinite asspats, full media coverage, no outrageous stories that smell fishy, no Nigerian spec ops bodybuilders on payroll, no felony charges.

Empire Executives Claim Smollett Not Upset Over Salary
According to TMZ anyway.

We're told Jussie's main focus recently was the release of new music. He was upset his first album didn't do well and was stressed out over the debuts of his new songs and music videos.

I had a feeling it was about the album before the part about the salary came about. I hope to God the still fire his ass.
I still seriously doubt he's making 125K per episode.
