I haven’t seen any apologies for all the false statements yet.!!

Say goodbye to Hollywood.!!

Committing a terrible scam let’s see where all the apologies come from now. After all the false accusations.

He should be fired from Empire! This can't be allowed to happen, ever! This is a hate crime in itsefl! CNN MSNBC CBS NBC ABC FoxNews BBC ava sagaftra dannystrong EmpireFOX empiremagazine EMPIRE FakeSmollett

He committed a crime by falsely claiming to have been attacked & wasted Illinois taxpayer $$'s & the police's time. He should be arrested (like anyone else), ordered to pay fines & serve time to learn his lesson. He's no better than Sharpton or Jackson, both racebaiters! CNN

Trump had 16 opponents & media that spent billions attacking him. They are out of his league when he Counter-attacks. The voter outrage that is ending the era of incompetent political office timeservers, rote media and these Fraud HateGroups now seems to be building?

Every day this guy is in the news. Non celebrity’s can’t get a bit of news coverage. But this guy get news every day , day in day out. Americans don’t care about this guy and his questionable attack. Report non celebrity attacks for a change

Nice try covering for him.

Shut this Circus 🎪 down!!!

Not the victim. Not the individual who was assaulted. Not calling it a hate crime. If this JussieSmollettHoax is NOT true what he is then is THE INDIVIDUAL THAT REPORTED A FALSE REPORT & IS GUILTY OF THAT CRIME. Also, the individual that's messed up.

Should be televised

Americans are even outsourcing racism.

Why would he do this? I think there were rumors about him being written off of Empire & he & his manager came of with this completely nutty scheme. If he was attacked, there would have been an ear or eye witnesses to the attack at least. Was there?

Jail time for been a lyer

I guess he got what he wanted , name recognition. Prior to this fiasco I had no idea who the heck he was. He should be charged with filing a false police report and given a bill for the resources used to investigate the hoax.

If NBCNews hosted the Oscars...

Same police who shot a man several times because they said he was walking towards them threatening them. Then the video came out showing he was actually walking away from them.

False flag. StonerFam

This dude....

Liar

What a piece of work that guy is.

No story here... Move along.

Chicago police: Jussie Smollett assault case has 'shifted'CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago police said Saturday the investigation into the assault reported by Jussie Smollett has 'shifted' due to information received from two brothers questioned in the case, and attorneys for the 'Empire' actor blasted reports alleging he played a role in his own attack. Chicago police had arrested, then released the two Nigerian brothers without charges late Friday and said they were no longer suspects in the attack. 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.

He just made it so much harder for “ real” victims of which there are many to come forward and tell their story.

People are criticizing Jussie Smollett following reports that he may have staged his alleged attackCNN reports that investigators believe Jussie Smollett may have staged his alleged attacks, and some prominent figures are responding on Twitter. As General Custer kept saying to his troops ... What you're seeing is not really what is happening it's all an illusion don't believe what you're seeing... Looks like a gash has opened up on the side of the Titanic This is really one of the worst and lost misleading headlines I’ve seen in a long time. “People are criticizing Charles Manson after reports he may have been involved in some homicides.”
