Sad if true

Although I don’t believe Smollett’s story, I’m also very skeptical of the police’s narrative they’re trying to go with. It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if it’s the police who paid those 2 guys to make up a story about Smollett.

Being a cop isn’t rocket science. If a story doesn’t sound right then something is up. This guys story was off the mark from the jump.

He's just digging a deeper hole. He claimed they were WHITE and yelled MAGA COUNTRY... yet they were his black friends, who bought red caps and rope. How is it he didn't play a role? This is not just a hoax but a conspiracy.

Smollett didn’t play a role in the incident, he played the leading role, wrote the script and produced the story. We will see him with more tears at sentencing.

Book him up

It appears Chicago Police need a more talented communications director or don’t get the concept of confidentiality in investigations.

Of course- this fiction rising was inevitable

Haha shifted You mean it was a complete lie

This is cover for the attempted overthrow of the President by top FBI officials.

Liar just got caught. He belongs in jail for wasting scarce resources in Chicago.

'“It is impossible to believe that this person could have played a role in the crime against Jussie or would falsely claim Jussie’s complicity,” the statement said.'; Impossible to believe someone with their high moral character would attack someone without being paid to do so?

Let me get this straight; because of information from the two guys who attacked him; they are let go and Jussie is under suspicion? So basically we are taking the word of two people who beat a guy up over the victim? That appears to be the only evidence they speak of here.

An attorney defending his client claiming innocence. Wow what a concept

cc: chill97

Seriously Jussie. Was it worth it? You can hate whomever you wish. I don’t get it but whatever. This is not only effecting you. Did you give any thought to the cast & crew of your show? I no longer watch Empire. It’s become too left-wing for me. I guess it’s real, not just acting

he belongs in prison

“Smollett also gave an interview to Robin Roberts of ABC News that aired Thursday, saying that he was “pissed” at people who did not believe he was attacked.” The lady doth protest too much, methinks

What an idiot, smelled that a million miles away.

Not sure how many of us would hv surrendered over our cell phones. They received redacted telephone records and additional info could hv been obtained from the cell phone provider.

That’s correct, he “didn’t play a role In the attack” because he couldn’t attack himself. Nice twist on the words however. He’s a liar it seems!

What a clown!! Had all u libs fooled. When a y’all gonna learn

So amazing that the Chicago Police can figure and investigate all this mess out but could never pin doodoo squat on R Kelley and make it stick?

James69Jimmy He did play a role apparently which is why he requires an attorney.

JussieSmollett Your career is done, race-baiter. 🦇💩🤪

😂 Keeping this thespian out of the big house is becoming increasingly unlikely. He just keeps shoveling, and burying himself deeper and deeper into his own demise. Really a sad tale of woe, for other would-be architects of a false, race-baited yarn.

If this turns out to be true he deserves some serious felony jail time.

RacquelWoods 🤔

Smear campaign

Let’s have all the people who were so enthusiastic about blaming white guys for a hate crime get equally engaged about a black gay guy filling a fake police report that is racist against white males.

It’s pretty obvious to all by now that this is yet another Hate hoax.

So has his sphincter.

Social media needs to collectively wait & see. This case is getting beyond confusing.

Chicago police lies.

Yes, yes, the old blame the victim when you can’t solve the crime script. Next they will shoot Jussie and claim they feared for their lives.....

Finally, the real reason comes out why he said 'Fk No' to having a white boyfriend on Empire!!

Why Jussie why?! Why would you Milli Vanilli your career like this. You jeopardize not just your job but everyone working on Empire.

The formerly oppressed want so badly to benefit from the privilege afforded by the struggles of their forebears that they've begun to lie about their own lived experiences, and will continue to do so as long as they're enabled by subversive leftists embedded in American media.

I don't know what to say for all the hop scotching politicians, celebrities, etc all jumping on the flavor of the month to keep his/her name in the news. He tried to play the angle but was sloppy as hell may his career rest in piss

There’s more to the story...

RealAJBenza u were right

Take him down...and get to the bottom of whether other people were behind it also. I think this is bigger than him and that other LGBTQ advocates are involved. The goal is clearly to make Trump supporters look homophobic.

He just comfortably framed all conservatives to be able to do the evil bleach and rope thing in this day and age. And fake news wanted to believe it so badly because it will make Trump look bad. Wow, fake news is really an enemy of the people.

Look at AP playing for team JussieSmollettHoax

Because victims need defense lawyers

I guess you CAN teach stupid.

He has killed his career

Dude, seriously, if this is true... why?!?!?!?

can't lie your way out of this JussieLied

This is not a surprise 😆 add it to the list...

Looking For a photoshop Image Masking and Transparent Background. Contract me:

Classic case of denial

It’s ok to be white

But he did though. He hired a defense attorney. That's what you do when you messed up as bad as he did.

If he did fake it, throw the book at him. So many victims are negatively affected by bad actors making false claims.

Jussie Smollett Has Sent Chicago Police Redacted Phone Records To Protect 'High-Profile Individuals'Chicago police said that the phone records submitted by Smollett were not 'sufficient' for their investigation into a possible hate crime against the Empire actor. My heart goes out to him. So Jussie didn't hand over the phone record of the call he had with the manager during the attack? It's either yes or no? If no, why not? Seems to be such a simple thing. Redact everything else but that ONE phone call with his manager. Done! I’m calling bullshit
