"Jussie and many others were hurt by these unfair and unwarranted actions. This entire situation is a reminder that there should never be an attempt to prove a case in the court of public opinion. That is wrong. It is a reminder that a victim, in this case Jussie, deserves dignity and respect. Dismissal of charges against the victim in this case was the only just result."

His role on the Fox series, where he played Jamal Lyon, was cut from the final episodes of the fifth season"to avoid further disruption on set," the show's executive producers said in a joint statement on Feb. 22.

What's incredible is that he himself is ok with this the web of lies...

What a scumbag!!

Again money and fame triumph over our judicial system this sucks

If Chicago is involved, I imagine a payoff is involved. Everything about this dude smells of sick narcissism. And he continues to talk of how he wasn’t raised to do these things he is accused of. Yet he did. I call bullshit.

a great actor

Boldface lie 2 women 3 men wow u not innocent bro tell the truth u sing abt dat if it was a trial more folks would be exposed

Such a liar as they dropped the case and know he is guilty. He forever ruined his reputation with many pulling this stunt for attention and I feel bad for whoever hires him being such a racist.

MichelleObama asked Tina Tchen to obstruct justice in getting charges dropped against JussieSmolett the racist !! Stop the elitist obstruction

Shut up 🤐

Say what you will now, but the damage is done and is still pulsating in everyone’s conscience, at least in mine. The whole world will neither forgive you for what you did nor forget how despicable and pathetic you are.

He is a liar and a criminal. His wealthy Democrat friends made this go away for him.

Not much of an actor, is he?

Black Privilege

Liar liar pants on fire 🤣

He was judged and criminalized by the police department of Chicago before he was before a judge. He has the right to a fair hearing. The judge did not get the enough to prove that the prosecuters had enough evidence to convict him. The News Media wants to charge him.

Bullshit, i'm sick of him and his lies. It must be nice to be rich and get away with crimes.

How can this guy stand there and lie to the media? narcissist

Come on. You are going to do it again?

Why give this loser a platform to spew more lies. Come on, NBC. The incompetent SAKimFoxx dropping charges against him does NOT mean he’s innocent. It was a deal that included 16 hours of bogus community service and forfeiting his bond $.

This is about Trump. Creating the mental image that just like Smollet, he got off but 'everyone' know he's guilty. Ya know, 'not exonerated' psy ops

Lying sack of crap.the police and DA still say you're guilty

Fake News should hire Jussie.

Look at all these triggered snowflakes! Jussie wins and Trump loses!!

Self created drama...

JussieSmollett

Yeah you would Jussie...For a bigger pay check

Lying garbage human. His self and soul are not worth the carbon he is made of.

In South Africa, we call such scum skelm

But you did....

Thank you Jussie, you have shown us all that Americans are not racist nor homophobic. Have a nice day.

Yes I can see Jussie talking but all is hear is.........

Bullshit

Whenever there was an abrupt change in the matter of this outcome, its better not to speculate. We don't know the intricate details of the case. I suppose Jussie might have to pay restitutions for the CPD hours of operation in this case.

He couldn't just walk away and say thank you for letting him off, knowing he was guilty. No! He had to say 'I wouldn't be my mother's son' blah, blah, blah. The guy is a str8-up bullshit artist!!

Liar. Guilty as sin. Why did you forfeit your bond and agree to do community service through a backdoor deal. I’m not against a deal being struck but it must be on condition he admitted guilt.

Smollett is a man completely without honor or valor.

Nobody believes you!!

I watched his press conference and just felt sad because he clearly has mental health issues. He needs help. He is delusional.

Smollett 'I would not be my mothers son...' really? Do you think of yourself as your mother's daughter then? Smollett got off the hook for $10k, no record and a sealed case file. What an injustice and a sham. This really needs to be looked into closely. Feds have the mail threat.

This dude lies more than realDonaldTrump

You deserve to be in prison, you horrible person trying to start a race riot. The public will demand answers about how this pardon cane about and will be exposed

He already admitted that he fabricated this so called hate crime. He should have been held accountable for lying to authority's and filing a bogus police report.

Nobody talks like this

Lolz. Innocent people don’t just forfeit 10k. I guarantee he doesn’t bring a defamation case against the police department because he’s not innocent.

You did. This isn’t in question.

Dont get too comfortable, as soon as Obama is thoroughly investigated you'll be behind bars right along with him. Enjoy your freedom....for now.......

Human Garbage. This is a slap in the face. Shocker he leans on religion too.

You’re a friggin JOKE!

🤦🏻‍♂️🤢🤮

That's fine Jussie, as long as you keep looking for the perpetrators until they are found. Don't stop looking, never stop looking for them.

Get back to work?Mr. Jussie nobody wants to see you get back to work people want to see you behind bars and brought to justice. Its over for you hun, the acting is over.What is he thinking?...just go back to acting like nothing?Like we dont know what he did? He’s sadly mistaken.

He’s the modern day OJ Simpson- sans the white Bronco.

No class

Shame on him to make hate crime for his own benefits.

What a complete embarrassment to our justice system, unbelievable 👎🏼

Wow, Christianity in the USA has definitely taken an evil turn in the past few years.

He’s disgusting! 🤮

Sometimes its best to just not say anything.

JussieSmollett are you an unclaimed son of Trump’s ?

He will go down into Hell denying everything.

Jussie should receive an academy award. I bet those two days community service at Jessie Jackson’s charity were grueling! Justice prevails!

Smollett, makes me sick! He evokes his faith, which is?; and your mom Give me a break. No question, he is morally bankrupt! NBC? You want to look at who paid Fox off? You want to do something good Of course not...shame on me!

I have never in my life seen someone forfeit a $10,000 bond unless they are guilty. So you make up a hate crime because you feel your not being paid enough but give up $10,000 and still try and act like you have done no injustice. Why not ask Obama for money? Karma's a bitch!!!

Right before his mother slaps him upside the head?

So you can just pay 10K and walk out the door with accountability. What about his attackers? Jussie is a crook and fraud.

Gross

Anyone can say anything now. Truth really doesn't seem to exist and justice is a laughable concept, especially with wealthy and well connected. The poor and oppressed though.... throw 'em in the clink. Pathetic.

BlackPrivilege getting away with everything

Guess this blows the hell out of White Privilege! It’s what it’s always been GREEN PRIVILAGE

Much like O.J. Simpson and his murder trial, JussieSmollett has committed a vile crime and walks away with a slap on the hand. Yet, much like O.J. Simpson, he has forsaken his career. And much like O.J. Simpson, he'll make excuses & continue to lie. Jussie Smollett is a liar.

GayBlackPrivilege

What white kid KILLED 4 people with his car-never spent a day in jail-with affluent defense! Why the hell is everyone so bent out of shape? Check the news for the last 100+years on WHO goes to jail. Who is the only harrasser in jail-Not Ailes-He got 40 Mill-Not Weinstein, not..

He forgot to say. I have friends in high places that bailed my ass out.

This is a joke

No trail, tons of video evidence, confessions of his helpers, 14 felony charges. Prisons are filled with people with no evidence.

Liar you got off free cause of Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris

Good for you JussieSmollett! Truth and justice has prevailed. They'll get over it.

Liar Liar ...Career on fire. After the lies you weaved, And the people bought off, Nothing remains, But your dreams in ashes.

Somebody pulled the strings to let him off, and he is too stupid to shut his mouth, and too classless to apologize.Instead he magnifies the lies. Anybody defending him now better be wearing lead as he has made himself radioactive

After everything he did, Americans would still forgive him if he just apologized. People are furious about this!

Doesn't matter. He's done. He will NEVER be known for anything but this.

Complete sociopath.

Crap..... Should face the music. Why was Michelle Obama involved

What Faith⁉️.... WOW‼️👎🏾

Garbage.

Rubbish

You can thank your dad M.O for all the help.

Mama's boy never got spanked

Fake News should hire him, he's good at race crime hoax....

Only a jury can acquit or a governor pardon. Prosecutors don’t have the power - so this is fake news

Obama rules.

What an arrogant, lying, narcissist.

Something very fishy is going on here. Any guesses? I’ll start - the Nigerian bros fled the country?

Our Justice System is broke.

More like a liar who fakes hate crimes.

Ohhhh please!!!!

'I am a man of privilege, I am a liberal man with connections - 'and I mean connections'! ..ya know what I mean? Like did ya see how I got outta this?!! Like Damn!! And Rahm was on point with his feigned outrage! Awesome!

juicysmalls you belong in jail

He wrote a check again🤣

Man of faith!!! Blasphemy😤 You JussieSmollett should be glad God is not like man or you would've fell right where u stood today if judge instantly by Him

He is a liar!

You gotta be f*** kidding me

Bold face lying it appears.

LGBT RICH RACIST PRIVILEGE in plain view.

What an actor, with powerful friends in high places. Scam artist.

If you are going to make a mockery of the Justice System just shut up and go away before they find something else to charge you with. Like Federal Mail Fraud

Liar

He's a brilliant actor but a lump of dirt as a person for what he did

he's hoaxing for our civil rights

You sir are a liar and a fraud. You made a deal so they would drop the charges. You are far from innocent.

That’s the “Bowel movement”

All he does is Lie lie lie no matter what.

The mans an actor. They are literally paid liars. He got busted, he got lucky. Hopefully he learned a lesson. Lol

I believe him.

The part of him speaking on his Mother's Name that he is innocent & would not do such a thing was delusional & heart wrenching. The evidence was beyond a doubt. He was not believed at the Hospital. No chemical burns. No Rope burn. No serious injuries & 2 Nigerians with his check.

It pays to be a celebrity and have money for good lawyers!

what a lier

BlackPrivilege

Man of faith?! 🙄

Wow. Maybe someone will really kick his ass!!

Liar
