Boo hoo

Good decision ! Who would take him after his debacle.

What happened to jussie being your son

🤒😭

Good. He'll never work on TV again... unless he's fixing TVs lol. His money will run out... then he'll be working at McDonald's. He earned it... what a fool.

This story is about to become really interesting

I wont believe it until I hear it from Jussie. Guy seems like a straight shooter.

Alllwftopic OMG, what happened?

Hmm

When will JussieSmollett stop lying? He’ll never be relevant and needs to find a day job.

he should be rotting in jail

Racists!

When is he going to jail?

Great.😂

Works for me!👮‍♂️

Acting from behind bars might be difficult?

He's getting a job at a political panel

He should be in jail.

This Guy

Why!

Isn’t he in jail? No kidding he isn’t returning

I thought the show was canceled.

Thought they canceled that shit ?

This is news? They said this after the sham in Chicago.

I just don't care about this idiot

You think?

I thought we already knew this?

If he wanted to commit crimes with complete impunity, he should have become President. For the rest of us, there are still consequences to our actions. The rich and connected, just have less consequences than the rest of us. He clearly should have faced criminal charges.

Good.

THIS IS MAGA COUNTRY!!
