hoax to get publicity, giving them $100 for supplies and instructing them to place a noose around his neck and yell homophobic slurs. They also said Smollett gave them a $3,500 check to carry it out.
Defense attorneys have suggested the brothers, who are Black, were motivated to accuse Smollett of staging the hoax because they disliked him and then saw an opportunity to make money. They suggested that after the brothers,, were questioned by police about the alleged attack, they asked Smollett for $1 million each to not testify against him at trial.
He said he auditioned for the role of a singer who is gay on “Empire” because he had never seen a Black man portrayed that way. By season five, Smollett said he was being paid $100,000 per episode. Brett Mahoney, who produced “Empire” in Chicago, testified earlier Monday that Smollett called him after the hate mail was sent to the set.
What did he expect for only $3500
'There was no hoax, I was murdered that night' - Jussie
I noticed the radical left wing propaganda outlets haven't had much to say about this case now...LMFAO how many more times can these ppl get it so wrong b4 they lose all their viewers? Credibility long been gone. Russia, HunterBidensLaptop, Virus,lab leak, Mostly peaceful riot
Perjury JussieSmollett perjury = more jail time son. MAGA DonaldJTrump magacountry Jail jussiesmolletguilty
Did we change the definition of hoax now?
This gets sweeter by the day.....there is obviously something wrong with juicy. Poor bugger should seek some help. They have you on camera dude.... WTF Chuck?
NINETIESRNB
No one gives a shit.
Guilty.
Ain't no Chicago jury buying this ish. Cancel that beast.
You see an Ice Cream truck coming down the street, you assume it has Ice Cream, You see a Black telling 'Tall Tales', it's automatically assumed that Blacks ALWAYS lie,,
L👀King back can be an instructional “aha moment” (credit: Oprah )
He lied who cares it’s been 3 years Selective news coverage
Trump did it
“Who is gay and black” pffff wtf why was that added
he's gay and *biracial.
SUCH DEDICATION.
So, will he be found guilty or innocent from the facts that have been put laid out?
'Who is gay and Black' lol
Lying on the stand seems like a terribly stupid defense tactic. 🤷🏻♀️
Lying to the very end. How very pathetic. jurneesmollett JAKESMOLLETT
Oh. Well, I guess everyone got this wrong. I mean, if Jussie says it happened, he wouldn’t lie about it right? Those 2 friends of his must be playing a practical joke.
If it wasn't a hoax, then what was it? Is Jussie accusing himself of committing a self-hate crime?
'see, what had happened was...'
The people that say Juicy is innocent is the same people who say Biden doesn't have dementia.
He must have had the same training as Amber Heard. Pull a hoax and then deny deny deny. Accuse any and everyone of lying and then expect to get away with it.
Look at that scarf! There's a message there. It's blue, gray and black. Those are civil war colors. What do you think about that? Did you know? My original reply to this Tweet may have been the 777th?
Look at that scarf! There's a message there. It's blue, gray and black. Those are civil war colors. What do you think about that?
This guys a joke.
This is why your life don't matter! P.O.S. JessieSmollett
Look at that scarf! There's a message there. The blue and the gray in the black. It's civil war colors. What do you think about that?
Dave Chappellee will tune his ass up again 🤣
isn't this perjury? 💆♀️
Fake victim 101
What he has done undermines other minorities when they are truly attacked. It's despicable. He should be sitting in prison.
If there is even one black person on the jury there will be a mistrial. Black people have shown over and over they prefer to protect their own race over justice, even if it's obvious this idiot is guilty.
You tellin me Jussie Sommelier gay AND black
JusticeForJuicy
This dude can't stop himself from lying lol!
Is he sticking with his maga-hat wearing white attackers version or is he now blaming his Nigerian trainers? He seems very confused. His defense team clearly did not prep him very well.
Jussie Smollett and Amber heard must be friends.
Why are we wasting even more time & resources on this?
I remember this happened when Chicago was hit with a 'polar vortex.' It was so cold that flights were getting delayed because jet fuel was freezing. I'm surprised that nobody is bringing that up.
'Who is gay and black ' why do you put this in? The AP is a joke
🥴 ok
The Associated press pushed the hoax and many other hate hoaxes. What a world
The world some people live in is borderline hilarious
Oh plz. We, in Chicago smelled a rat, from reporters. Smollet was being let go on “Empire”, he just wanted publicity. He set it up and lied, just like he is now. And under oath? His word means nothing. No credibility whatsoever.
Lol he’s not smart
Sorry it is OBVIOUS to the world that he did run a hoax. He has done nothing but try to cause more racial problems.
Uh huh…..perjury.
This is a distraction to take our attention away from more important things.
Juicy Smooyay? Never heard of him.
Can someone explain this case for me I'm confused and I don't have enough of an attention span 2 read the article
Y'all misspelled 'Juicy Smoolyay.' Damn you, Dave Chappelle, for renaming that guy. 😂
How pathetic
It’s rlly crazy that with all the wacism in this country a successful gay black man had to fake a hate crime to get sympathy
This guy is THE definition of a narcissist. You have GOT to be kidding me.
Justice for Juicy 😂
I can’t believe they are wasting money on this trial .. smh like Chicago has wayyy more problems to focus on ….
Guilty
Update on the Epstein trial?
What gets me is he assumed they were white because they supposedly supported Trump. That is as racist as it gets. Wake up dude, more minority’s support Trump. More white people support BLM.
thank you for telling me that he was a gay black guy.
Juicy Smoolley-A
I don't know. Jussie might be innocent. 🤷🏾♀️
Hey GEICO, y'all should get Jussie to remake this commercial.
'gay and black' = AP's definition of innocent
He’s still lying while under oath. He would’ve been better off just admitting it , saying sorry, and disappearing from the public.
Such an awkward hill to die on.
Jussie Smollett innocent
evidence says otherwise Juciy…
Did you have to add that he was gay and black ? Lol
Oh say word
I’m offended that he actually thinks we are all that stupid to believe him🙄
So does this mean he's on the hook for perjury if it's proven he set it up?
Why in the world is “who is gay and black” in this tweet?
Justice for juicy!
He’s not just French! If you know you know 😂
Though we were way past this
This niggas about to catch a perjury charge for his obstinance.
Liar liar pants on fire 🔥
“who is gay and black” WHY is that so funny 😭😭😭
Smollett: I think I should take the stand. His lawyer:
'who is gay and black' damn 😂😂😂
Why
Did they change the definition of hoax?
Catch this jail time
I can't believe Jussie Smollett, who is gay and black, is trying to testify that there was no hoax. Did I mention that he's black and gay?
Committing to the role.
Is he going to be charged with lying under oath as well?
Just give it up.. looking foolish at this point.
If you have a partner get up at 2am and get clothes on to leave and when they ask 'where are you going'? Say Subway and see if they believe you.
Jussie Smollett stop telling...👇🏽lol
When this first came out I was annoyed that he lied. Now I don’t care. Much more have done far worse.
Didn’t they show video evidence of him and the 2 “attackers” rehearsing ?… why lie on the stand or take the stand at all
His acting finale.
Male Amber Heard. The truth always comes out in the end
And now he is lying to a jury in court. His self deprecating to the max is not going to help his believability.
black vs black love it
He should serve serious time 1. Diverting resources to cover this hoax taking away from actual crimes 2. Every victim of an actual hate crime will now be doubted like there lying because an actor wanted a pay raise
Wasn’t this already tried and confirmed to be a hoax?
Not this again
Literally cannot read his actual name since that Chapelle joke. justiceforjuicy
Smollet is screwed. Their is an obvious paper trail proving it was a hoax. His whole story is a sham. He deserves actual prison time.
Doubling down on stupid.
Oh my.
Guess he wants perjury charges added. What a fool. His lawyers seem no better.
Nothing happened to you other than what you paid to have happen to you. You lied to the police about the attack from the first second the police arrived.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
This should be a quick trial
Lying on the stand. This dude.
