Funny that when a white women is accusing a black man of assault with no evidence or evidence that contradicts her story, white organizations rush to defend her no matter what. Jussie here seems to be on his own. Tell me again how LGBT isn't just a light white supremacist org.

Does he need trump to fire the prosecutor?

That poor guy. I just... I know we’re seeing half of what happened and he’s not talking cause he might end up Kobe’d.

His agent(if he has one still) should have told him to do a public confession. Request forgiveness. Then offer to cover all the costs incurred by all his fake allegations. I think that would have helped him avoid all this. But he's a stubborn bitch.

🤡🤡🤡

Just why even lie like this Stupid

So, how's that raise thing coming along, Jussie? Asking for a friend.

Is he still suing for defamation? This should all be a Netflix docu cause its gonna keep giving & giving.

We don't need to know. We don't care.
