“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.

I'm not so sure this one's going to go quietly into that good night. I mean, the Police Commissioner called the States Attorney corrupt on national television. I might be being optimistic but I'm getting the feeling that there's some people who aren't going to be walking away from this one.

Edit: Sort of ninja'd?

 

[HeyYou]

A state attorney also admitted that he thought Jussie is guilty. Not just that he wasn't exonerated, he straight up said he believed Jussie is guilty. He then claims that due to Jussie not having a record () he thought this was the best outcome.

I might be being optimistic but I'm getting the feeling that there's some people who aren't going to be walking away from this one.

Our only hope is the feds found that the letters were faked by him, but I doubt it. The feds could always investigate the state's attorney's office, but that's also not particularly likely. The FBI and CPD need to move on to other things now that the state attorney's office has stamped their foot. It's definitely infuriating.

Dude sounds like he's about to have a breakdown.

This shit is embarrassing

 

[Miang]

"But make no mistakes, I will always continue to fight for the justice, equality and betterment of marginalized people everywhere," Smollett said.

Perfectly ready to throw two innocent white men under the bus but oh yes, you're looking out for the little guy, Jussie.

Haahahahahahahaahaha

That attention whoring disgrace going down would be a nice two-fer.

 

[heathercho]

A good hot take.

You don't seem to understand. The feds where brought in to kill the investigation into the letter. Why would they investigate the person who brought them in to halt the investigation?

 

[Jigglyjogglers]

The thing from the writers is weird since I thought he'd already been fired.

Maybe a cleanout of the writers' room is next.

 

[It's HK-47]

Nope, back in the frying pan you go, Jessie.

 

[verissimus]

He'll get caught doing something again. Remember: you can't fix stupid.

Perhaps, but who says he'll be punished next time?

On another note, fuck this cocksucker and the prosecutors. I'll certainly admit, I didn't and perhaps even wouldn't have expected him to serve jail time (maybe a few months or something akin to house arrest or time in a penitentiary plus probation) but this is what we get? No trial. No I fucked up, but I'll find a way to make it up to the community. No heavy fine. Nothing! How! People have been punished far more for less and this pos gets to walk off scott-free. Goddamn the left to hell. They have no fucking sense of justice.

 

[Positron]

Tsk tsk, black privilege at work.

Nah, as the previous posters said, it was mostly green privilege.

 

[Secret Asshole]

There's going to be no federal charges. There's going to be jack shit. The CPD were fucking furious they were wasting 12 detectives on pure bullshit and wanted to hang (pardon the pun) this smug progtard cunt.

This is a 2020 election year motherfuckers. You can't have a black gay man being charged with fake hate crimes. That hurts the dem's chances. 'Fixers' are a real fucking thing. They're also known as bagmen. I've known a few Dem and Repub bagmen. They're basically the kneecappers of politics. They have a whole host of favors they can call upon. I don't doubt that some high ones were called in and this fucking ugly fuck of a prosecutor decided not to press charges. She's obviously corrupt as fuck, I mean Jesus. You pay this fat ugly bitch and you can get a gangbanger off. Its not idiocracy, its fucking the Chicago justice system. Imagine what you could do if you had millions in your pocket.

They had to seal the fucking thing because if it were public record the Justice Department would have fucking come in with street cleaners and gunned down the entire prosecutor's office because this thing is as dirty as fuck. If you can't see that, you're blind to your ideology or a fucking moron.

I doubt the feds can do anything. I don't doubt that the chain of evidence has been fucked to hell and back there's not going to be any proof at all unless he masturbated on his letter. Which is not out of the question at the euphoria that this piece of human trash got off on being a victim.

But seriously, if this case has been fixed (it has) by party operatives (you know which ones) the FBI isn't going to be able to do much of anything. They've already scrambled everything and this will be memory holed by progtards. They can do it, but much like me-too, people are starting to not believe hate crimes anymore. They'll try to make this 'oh poor black gay man, he was innocent all along'. Yeah, that's why the record was sealed. Suurreeee. That's why the CPD came at him swinging, which you never see. The CPD aren't super competent, but they're not going at him unless they've got him.

Perhaps, but who says he'll be punished next time?

On another note, fuck this cocksucker and the prosecutors. I'll certainly admit, I didn't and perhaps even wouldn't have expected him to serve jail time (maybe a few months or something akin to house arrest or a penitentiary) but this is what we get?

Goddamn the left to hell. They have no fucking sense of justice.

There is no justice. There never has been really. We've gotten better since the middle ages, but the wealthy and influential never face any sort of mortal justice. That's why the concept of hell became so popular. People had to believe there was some sort of justice for these fucks waiting for them, with the way they used and abused people.

True 'Justice' is for poor people. For rich people, its whatever they want it to be.

 

[pwnest injun]

More like Dem privilege. Just because you have a couple million in your account doesn't mean you can call up Kamala Harris to pull the levers for you.

 

[millais]

I bet Soros only paid off this Illinois Attorney General because this Smollett guy is half-Jew. If he was full black, they wouldn't have cared.

This guy got caught doing this shit once. Back in 2007. He claimed to be his own brother during a DUI bust.

https://www.nydailynews.com/enterta...tt-2007-false-information-20190220-story.html

He got probation and had to take an alcohol education class.

Now he does it again. On a massive scale. And he goes scot free?

Nope. There is no justice. There is no punishment.

 

[X Prime]

There's going to be no federal charges. There's going to be jack shit.

Absolutely correct. I do not understand why people think there are going to be federal charges when getting it to the FBI was one of the goals.

The FBI hates looking political, especially when Democrats are involved.

 

[Particle Bored]

I bet Soros only paid off this Illinois Attorney General because this Smollett guy is half-Jew. If he was full black, they wouldn't have cared.

There's a pretty good record of Soros funding lefty/SJW state attorneys' and other such state and county officials' campaigns over the last 5 years or so.

Not necessarily. There is one kind of "justice" that can befall anyone should they piss off their fellow man sufficiently enough, but polite society has gotten better at putting a lid on it and discouraging people from doing it. For now. This is why it's important to have the guilty (especially the blatantly guilty) face consequences, so that law and order can prevail and keep people and their primal urge for extra-judicial actions in check. Sure one obscene miscarriage of justice isn't going to make everything boil over; but if it happens too often and in such plain view of everyone then that changes.

There's actually two: pissing off other rich people with better connections than you.

See: Martin Shkreli, Bernie Madoff for examples.

well, at least he Started A Conversation™. that's what's really important.
