On March 14, "Empire" star Jussie Smollett returned to court to plead not guilty to 16 counts of disorderly conduct and lying to the police about his alleged attack on Jan. 29. The new charges were filed on March 8.On Feb. 22, Fox announced it was suspending Smollett, one day after the actor was charged with filing a false police report about his alleged Jan. 29 assault. Fox said his character, Jamal Lyon, would be cut out of the final two episodes of Season 5.
The stunt was orchestrated by Smollett because he was dissatisfied with his salary so he concocted a story about being attacked."On Feb. 22, less than 10 days after interviewing Smollett on"Good Morning America," Robin Roberts called his arrest a"setback for race relations, homophobia, MAGA supporters – the fingers were pointed at them. I cannot think of another case where there's this anger on so many sides, and you can understand why there would be.

For all the Trump supporters, does the dropping of charges against Jessie Smollett mean he is innocent? He is exonerated, correct? Sure looks like it, but there may be another reason for it. Need to get all the information don’t you think?
This is Bull!!
They have grounds to prosecute, just choose not to. Guess the DA has 'better' things to do; wonder how much THAT cost? Money talks, bullshit walks. Boycott anything the racist little fuck does from now on. Don't let him use being a black homo to get over. Plenty more out there.
Made deal
PD is not to blame for this. Prosecutor is crook in this case. Want to commit crimes, go to Chicago with big checkbook
Now he qualifies to be president!
Nutrition and training? This is complete BS. Look I'm an INDEPENDENT conservative, but this is bullshit .
Smollet is so guilty can’t believe he is getting away with what he did.
Coming up next.... R.Kelly is cleared of all charges and no evidence Michael Jackson fucked them lil boys. 😂
？
Absolutely disgusting
What a crock of 💩! A grand jury voted on 16 counts! Our justice system at work! 😡😡😡
What a joke!
Everyone seems to salty
Dropping charges is not right.
And he actually had the nerve to do a press conference? If he were smart, he’d take his marbles and quietly go home.
Police should not have tried him in the public square even though they had all the goods.
How is this right?
Pays to be Hollywood monied.
Good day for Smollett, I didn’t hear outrage of mayors etc, when Zimmerman killed Trayvon oh well
It smells really bad in Chicago
Wow! Now tell me about white privilege
Wow , he got a pass like the police do in unarmed shooting, 🤔🤨
Yet NO ONE believes him. NOT EVEN THE POLICE!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Stop calling him a star. He’s not a star. He did this to get more attention and make more money. If he was really a star he wouldn’t have to fake a hate crime to get more screen time; his “star-ness” would beget more screen time. And more money. And more attention.
I guess now our justice works like this: if the trumps can get away with hacking an election. Jussie can get off for lying. bringjusticeback
Yes, when your a millionaire that is their automatic 'Get Out Of Jail Free Card' ..... n
No justice!!!!
What were the prosecutors reasons for doing this?
Hmmm....
Very good resolution glad for him
I can’t look at this dude’s face anymore....
Well that’s STAR privilege....
All charges are dropped because it was an attempt to divide our country with Staged hate crimes. More importantly by 'MAGA hat wearing racists'. If this were reversed, my man would be in Gitmo.
The Fix was in!
,,,,,***zone xx zzz , c,😄😍,
He’s cullpipabl in the propagation of a false and racist narrative of people wearing MAGA hats and beating him up, but that’s okay?!? 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
There are two very good reasons as to why Smollett walked w/o any charges. He's a black man and the city of Chicago is part of the Obama swamp.
Absolutely an injustice to all those who are truly victimized. He should be in jail.
The rule of law indeed
Why 333ta
He’s Still a liar! I look at facts! He’s not a “sweet” person! Standing there lying through his contrived statement! mutejussie muteempire
This is absolute bullshit
If that was me that did that, the justice system would come at me with full force. This is bullshit
Somebody has to be held responsible for this travesty of justice against this “guy” Find a couple of MAGA cap wearers and arrest them because they would probably done it anyway...
$10,000 or $100,000 bond money forfeited? Which is it? I hope chicago police put that money back in the coffers to offset all the investigations. Another actor who gets away w/criminal act. Justice isn't about the truth, its about technicalities. He certainly lawyered up.
All hardworking, taxpaying, law abiding, American citizens need to remember how a real racist criminal like Smollett was judged from the way they would have been judged 4 the same crimes come the 2020 elections. Smollett justice is the same as Hillary justice - no justice at all!
What do u expect, Chicago is a Democratic Party town in a Democratic Party run state. Just ask the likes of 'dead fish' RahmEmanuel & Senator DickDurbin , (aka: little Dickie Durbin). Chicago & IL r gone, they must be written off. There is still a lot of America out there.
Population will more than double cause the Dems are letting the illegals go rampant
Same as this
What does the C-SPAN video of the Senate vote on climate change have to do with Jussie Smollett?
The state's attorney said it's a just resolution to the case. Not an exoneration.
ridiculous
I think this proves the Chicago PD is corrupt and broken.
BC Cooke County IL
So fantastic...!
What does the C-SPAN video of the Senate vote on climate change have to do with Jussie Smollett?
Whoa! What happened? 😉👀😲
This is despicable
This is a gross injustice!! BlackCrimeMatters
That's great. How about covering this tragedy now:
WHAT.THE.EFFING.EFF!!!!!!!
Disgraceful
White or black. If you have money and a higher social status the laws are interpreted differently
How and why did this unprecedented act of 16 charges dropped happen?
He should have promised to go after the real attackers.
Damn he has a really good freakin lawyer, cause he guilty as hell honestly
'This entire situation is a reminder that there should never be an attempt to prove a case in the court of public opinion.' So much bullshit. If this was anybody else, they'd have been fried on the 5 o'clock news and hung out to dry. Why is he any different?
EXONERATED! Got it, GOP? That’s not what your t rump got!!
Clearly a case of black privilege
This is only temporary☝🏼 Remember👇🏼 Mark Geragos is Jussie’s head lawyer Remember👇🏼 8 Mar 2018 NO DEALS! We work for you. We listen to you. Q QAnon wwg1wga QArmy GreatAwakening
Book and movie next. Same ole crap
Disgusting ..!
I want to know what robin Roberts has to say
Look he paid $10,000, a pretty big fine, was a perfectly fine guy before. And gets a second chance. This is an ok outcome, there should be some admission of guilt but you can't have everything
Drain the swamp in every level. 😡
So wrong on many levels.
So they making believe nothing happened?
What a farce. He’s a liar and should be held accountable, but the Democrat corruption in Chicago shows itself.
Hopefully, after all the rush to judgment, social media jokes, JussieSmollet can resume his life. PrayersAscend🙏🏽💕💕💕🙏🏽
16 felony counts? Pfft. Dismissed! Seems legit.
Liar.
No collusion and total exonerated
What a joke what is the US coming too 😔😔😔
Did Mueller do this investigation?🤔🤣
No justice! The feds had better bring charges!
This isn’t over. He still may face Federal charges and every journalist is going to ask to give a straight story, which he probably won’t. People in general won’t let this go. People will shout at him anytime he’s in public
There is no justice in this country anymore. This is disgusting and encourages more of this BS
So sorry to Chicago Police- Please don’t let this deter ur hard work!
WTF ..! Prosecute must be a democrat.
Do we have a N exemption on prosicution N equals Nerd of course
Umm...what? He is guilty and should admit that pay for his crime. Just like any other person who does this
I smell the fishy hands of the good old Chicago Democratic Party machine manipulating this outcome. Business as usual.
dat der black priviledge
this is a true travesty of justice!
NO one has said he's innocent though. Did Michelle Obama get involved with this and that's why it's sealed? That's what's going around right now: rumor or not - or sealed because of it? Very suspicious of this in a huge way. The most fishy story ever. JussieSmollett
2 justice systems indeed 1 for progressive privileged & 1 for the peasants
Good for Jussie. It is not easy surviving a fake hate crime. Give this poor man a break.
Wtf!!
This makes no sense. All charges dropped but he pays $10,000 and has to perform community service.
He better walk off quietly and never be heard of again. Money and political ties at work here...
nazisnowflakes and Their media counterparts Will be Crying about this for weeks.
He’s completely exonerated.
