Jussie Smollett was just indicted by a special prosecutor in Chicago.

is facing charges in Chicago again -- the special prosecutor just announced an indictment against the actor for the alleged homophobic attack against him last year.was appointed special prosecutor for the case last summer.This effectively re-opens the controversial case that led to Smollett getting fired from"Empire."Jussie and his attorneys had staged a legal battle against the special prosecutor, saying it would expose him to double jeopardy. That effort was shot down in court.

That decision pissed off Chicago law enforcement -- and in August, Webb was appointed special prosecutor to investigate how the case was handled, and if there was any reason to renew charges.

Why is this still going on?

Put this scumbag behind bars

This makes me angry & Sad. Angry for fueling anti-Police rhetoric. Sad because he is such a talented person, who had great job on EmpireFOX

Ooh now somebody else the victim, I bet he don’t remember lol. Where the hell is Oprah? Describe that🙄🙄

Just another black man to go after Especially after they got finished with Kobe, and other black men like them!

Uh huh

Let it go. Forget it.

Juicy ?

I thought this was over?

Bad boys bad boys whatcha gonna do 😂😂😂😂

Thank god

This felony hate crime committing racist deserves time.

This is still going on?.. 😮

Welcome to MAGAcountry JussieSmollett 🙄

They just showed that on the news

Jail time for this buffoon.

Turn off the body cam so I can't be caught in any lies. And then I can say the police were lying if I change my story.

ROCK-SOLID PROOF that there is ZERO 'SYSTEMIC RACISM' in America is when you have to CREATE THE ILLUSION that there is.

Yay! He concocted such a series of lies.

Mann I just gotta say it!! JusticeForJuicy Let this man go bout his business mane!!!

Whoever is more concerned about this than what crimes the President of the United States, DOJ and Senate are ACTUALLY committing in real time really need to STFU.

Jussie be looking for his attackers like OJ be looking for Nicole's killer... LMAO! (Hint: Find a mirror.)

I think is all about the prosecutor making a name for himself . It's election time. of course. 🙇

Lock him up!! finally chicago prison4jussie empire jussie jussiesmollett maga

I hope his ass fry’s

Who? What about that Fox woman, she needs to be indicted for using her power trying to make it go away.

Umm good. What a loser

I'm amazed how long this story has gone on.

Finally. Not above the law with his fake 'cry wolf' BS!

You can't judge someone twice for the same crime but you can judge them once for a big crime.

This is just a shift in my case cause they don't want to press charges on someone in my city.

Someone let Gayle King know here’s her opportunity to make it right, bring that same Kobe energy to this fool

Anything happening to KimFoxxforSA no one is above the law

JussieSmollett 😂

Good! Weirdo!

Disorders conduct... those are the chargers now.... so lame... Fraudie Smollett got away easy

I thought this Jussie situation was over with dang. 🙄 Spent more time on this than actually impeaching the president. 😂🙄

Wow, more MAGA bigotry against this brave Gay Jewish man of Color!!

I love this song. Kim Foxx should be called out for her corruption also
