“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.

If Micheal Vick can find work after dog fighting, so can Smollet if this is let go. Also Louis CK is a cuck and doesn't count, that man imposed the exile on himself.

Wendy Williams had some choice words for the city of Chicago and actor Jussie Smollett following his new indictment on six counts of disorderly conduct for lying to police about his alleged 2019 attack.

Special prosecutor Dan Webb issued a statement announcing the indictment against the 37-year-old former "Empire" star on Tuesday, prompting Williams to take to her talk show’s “Hot Topics” segment Wednesday to discuss the issue. In a lengthy rant about the case, she suggested that Smollett’s career is over.

“His prison life has already started. He’ll never work again. Nobody cares about him,” she said. “If I saw him walking down the street I’d cross to the other side.”

She later added: “I mean, the man will never work again. Whoever hires him is going to be protested with the pickets outside. Just leave it alone, he’s done.”

Williams, 55, also chastised the city of Chicago and the special prosecutor for further pursuing the incredibly convoluted case, remarking that it’s a waste of the city’s precious time and resources.

“Chicago should just let this go. Let it go, man. You’re wasting time with the court system.”

She added: “Jussie Smollett is alleged to have done a horrible thing, but with the gang violence and the bad school system in Chicago — you guys have bigger fish to fry.”

“Chicago should just let this go. Let it go, man. You’re wasting time with the court system.”

She added: “Jussie Smollett is alleged to have done a horrible thing, but with the gang violence and the bad school system in Chicago — you guys have bigger fish to fry.”

In January 2019, Smollett told police he was attacked by two masked men as he was walking home from a Chicago Subway sandwich shop at approximately 2 a.m. The actor alleged that the masked men taunted him with homophobic and racial slurs, beat him and looped a noose around his neck before fleeing.

He said his attackers, at least one of whom he said was white, told him he was in "MAGA country" — a reference to President Trump's campaign slogan, "Make America Great Again."

The brothers are expected to testify that the incident was a hoax masterminded by Smollett.

Wendy Williams is a professional remora and should put her mouth to better use by nursing on a .45.

Ironic. She probably can't be bothered to actually know the details of the story she's ranting about.

I can't tell if Wendy has an angle here. It's almost like she knows Jussie and is trying to sway the court of public opinion for him but still insulting him as to not blow her cover. Thunk-Provoking...

Orrrrrr, she's just an old woman in drag who needs to pop a pill and have another drink, how you doin?

This is the strongest tribalism shit ever lol. Do they realize Jussie Smollet would sell his own kind out to the KKK if it managed to get him the big bucks and victimhood points he needed to advance. The black community is not a monolith but when it comes to politics, having themselves held hostage to one party or another has really fucked their situation harder rather than trying to get some individualism in there.

 

[Atomic Wangler]

I'm just glad this is being brought up again. I remember following this thread when I was but a lurker. I thought with all the bullshit with him still having the moose around his neck when the cops showed up and the two brothers outright ADMITTING Juicy had payed them off, that something might actually come of it and someone who faked a hate crime would face consequences. Then comes Kim Foxx with the most blatantly biased dismissal I've ever seen, and the ceaseless nose-thumbing from Juicy in the meantime.

Something something, you're awful Jussie, you get what you deserve.

 

[Quantum Diabetes]

Do you think Wendy Williams would dickslap Juicy in the face if they shared a prison cell? You know they're taping down like a 13 donger under there.

 

[BIG BILL HELL'S]

with him still having the moose around his neck when the cops showed up

Man, gay fetish stuff is getting weirder and weirder every day.

Man, gay fetish stuff is getting weirder and weirder every day.

Oh so THAT is what the Invader Zim Episode "Room with a Moose" was referencing. I always knew that episode was a dirty joke.

 

[pwnest injun]

There's really never going to be a criminal case over the mail threat? Even though they found the magazines in the Bongo Bros' apartment??

That's a federal crime and it's not up to the same people who've recently indicted him. Give it time; if they want him then I'm sure they're collaborating and collating.

 

[TowinKarz]

The postal service has, even compared to the average, a high conviction rate when they choose to bring charges. If the Postmaster General wants your hide, there's a 99% chance they get it, as opposed to the 90% of regular criminal cases that go to full trial.

They are slow, but they are meticulous.

And I wouldn't be surprised if they're just waiting for all the state-level shit to filter out before they decide if they need to go after him too.

They only even file against you if they're sure they'll convict. So if they have even the slightest doubt, they won't.

 

[pwnest injun]

I suppose a conviction, with a legally recorded connection between the Justin and the Bros, would be important evidence in bringing the federal case..

Jussie Smollett Tried To Get The Charges Against Him Thrown Out. The Illinois Supreme Court Denied.

It’s been more than a year since ex-“Empire” actor Jussie Smollett claimed he was attacked by two white supporters of President Donald Trump on a frigid Chicago morning.

After new charges were brought against the actor in mid-February, his attorneys filed an emergency motion with the Illinois Supreme Court, The Chicago Tribune reported, arguing “that Cook County Judge Michael Toomin overstepped his authority and misinterpreted the law when he ordered the appointment of a special prosecutor in Smollett’s case last year.”

Smollett’s attorneys claimed in their filing “that the particular statute Toomin cited to appoint a special prosecutor can only be invoked if the state’s attorney filed a formal petition for recusal — which Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx never did,” the Tribune continued.

Foxx stepped down from prosecuting Smollett and it was discovered later that she agreed to try and get the charges dropped against Smollett. After she stepped down – but did not remove her entire team from the case and instead appointed her top deputy to run the investigation – Toomin said the prosecution became invalid. The judge contended that Foxx did not have the authority to name her own successor.

Smollett’s attorneys, however, claimed Smollett was the only person who had the right to question whether the prosecutor in his case had the authority to prosecute him.

“[If] there, in fact, had been a defect in the authority to prosecute Mr. Smollett, the only person who could properly challenge the validity of the proceedings would be Mr. Smollett — and he has not done so,” his attorneys wrote in the motion.

His attorneys went on to demand the order that appointed the special prosecutor be thrown out and that all charges against the actor be vacated.

The Illinois Supreme Court denied the motion. Smollett’s next hearing will be on March 18, as previously scheduled. He pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.

(HK-47: The rest of this is just shit you already know.)

On February 11, a Cook County grand jury indicted Smollett on “six counts of disorderly conduct alleging he orchestrated the racist and homophobic attack on a frigid night in downtown Chicago,” the Tribune reported. The allegations mirrored those originally brought against the actor last year after it was discovered he fabricated a hate crime against himself.

Smollett claimed on January 29, 2019, that he was attacked by two white men wearing “Make America Great Again” hats around 2:00 a.m. during a polar vortex in Chicago. Smollett claimed the men shouted racial and homophobic slurs at him as they beat him, tied a noose around his neck, and poured bleach on him (they had been apparently carrying these things just randomly while out the night and somehow recognized Smollett). The men allegedly yelled “This is MAGA country” before they left.

Smollett, according to surveillance footage, showed up to his friend’s apartment in Chicago with the noose still around his neck and carrying his sandwich from Subway, which apparently wasn’t damaged in the violent altercation. He was still wearing the noose when police arrived.
The media instantly bought Smollett’s wild claims due to their hatred of Trump and his supporters. It was quickly discovered that Smollett paid two Nigerian brothers to stage the attack against him.

That was a weird attempt to dodge a bullet. Nice try, I guess, but Illinois seems uniquely pissed off about this.

As ludicrous as the rest of this story is, this is the one that always cracks me up.

What would MAGA Country even look like?

It'd have less than half the violent crime, for a start.

#MeToo

It's like how all those DARE PSAs in the 80's portrayed demonic drug dealers as envisioned by one who has clearly never met one....

Or how Pat Robertson railed against Dungeons and Dragons players and hair metal bands as envisioned by his own bad dreams about them... having never actually met one....

This is clearly a "Trump Supporter", as envisioned by one who has never met one..... or anyone who even KNOWS one....


When your only window into the "other" side of things is panic-driven newscasts, political hitpieces and "Then the whole bus clapped" social media stories, it's no wonder these people think actual conservatives have real horns and fangs and scream "MAGA!" as they twist the heads off of innocent little woodland creatures.


The world outside Hollywood, to them, is that place on the map that 18th Century cartographers drew dragons..... and when asked to accurately describe what it's like there.... they can't do it.

Like Bat Country but with less LSD.
