I have to be honest. The news upset me because he is part of the show. I wasn't a fan of his character but I was a fan of his character's relationship with the other man. It was interesting and chill to watch.

He gets retired from EmpireFOX, but definitely not Lee Daniels' life...😏

Please let jamal lyon come back all the brother's please

Outstanding now put theFUCK IN JAIL

He singlehandedly took that show down with his fakeness.

Good. He should be in jail

Why?

He sent fake anthrax through the mail. Of course he won’t be on the show. He’s going to federal prison.

The other shoe dropping.

...after CNN and FAKE NEWS media fell for yet another lie that he was. This is the same guy and lie that CNN jumped to defend!

Well, he got his fame not his fortune!

Empire is a bore...!!1st and 2nd season were are amazing I’m glad 6 is final.

Isn't there any WAY they could SUB him?

Like.....no? 😂

Faking a hate crime does that?!?

This is trash !. Show won't be same without him

F him

Saving on Insurance- SmartMove

Not returning to final season... but will be star of new Fox drama coming out in the fall.

Why should he?

“Not returning” you mean fired 🤡

Good decision

I’m sure most empire fans wouldn’t mind him coming back. Not the most accountable of folks..

Chris rock says it’s not Jussie anymore, it’s now Jessie after a bogus realDonaldTrump hate crime. KAG2020

Shouldn't it read: Empire 'star' Jussie Smolett....

Good! They should get that clown off tv for good!!

I heard Jussie signed a contract to be a spokesperson for Subway and bleach. He won't need to act...this is real life man. After MAGA brothers from Nigeria attacked him with bleach and sh%t.

Who gives a fuck?

This dude is a trash can on fire, he needs to see jail time

Prison is waiting for him, if a Trump supporter did what he did against Obama or Hillary, that trump supporter would be in jail now without bail option

Well, if he goes to Dallas and commits a violent crime for money, I am sure the Dallas Chief of Police will let him off. Afterall, he has a criminal record and is now “forced” to get drug money using violent means. Of course, he will still blame those white MAGA supporters

Why are all of CNN's tweets about Jussie Smollet before March 1st deleted?

I wonder why...🙄🙄

Riddance staus = Good

The violent pathetic liar? Good for the series, now we can watch Empire

That's what you get for almost causing a race war for no reason MAGA

He should be returning to prison.

More time for Jussie Smollett to hunt down his real attackers and bring them to justice. IStandWithJussie

Time for another hate crime.

Bout time

I mean...did anyone actually think they would bring him back?

Shits i give = 0

Can't go to work if you're in the can doing time

- He should be returning to a jail cell for being such an assh*le and almost causing a race riot.

Finally some GREAT news

Fox News legal analyst says Trump's census citizenship question goes against the First Amendment'Just like you have a right to remain silent when you're arrested, you have a right to remain silent when the census comes,' Andrew Napolitano explained. Somehow or other I really don't think the Donald could give a Fuck... If there is a citizenship question on the census, millions of us should declare our selves non-citizens so the data is completely bogus and unusable. AnAssholeAbroad.
