Jussie Smollett will not return to"Empire" for season six, according to the series' co-creator, Lee Daniels.
Smollett, 36, who starred as gay musician Jamal in the Fox show, told police earlier in January that he was the victim of what initially appeared to be a hate crime. Investigators later alleged that Smollett filed a false police report and paid two brothers to help him orchestrate the attack in an attempt to get publicity and a pay hike from the producers of"Empire.
The city of Chicago later filed a $130,000 lawsuit against Smollett. A lawyer for Smollett said at the time said the actor"vehemently denies" accusations of making false statements to police and"will not be intimidated into paying the demanded sum."
Who cares
Good at least some justice was served
Yeah
This is a damned shame! But I guess they dont care about their LGBTQ viewership. It's a wrap. The man hasn't been proven guilty of ANYTHING! But the brothers, known homophobes and haters of American blacks careers are flourishing? Lee Daniels, KISS MY A**!
Get it?!? (You’re welcome for the giggle once you did)
Hopefully he doesn’t beat himself up too bad this time.
What an awful thing he did.!
lmfao..... who cares?
They thought about it, though. Took long enough to say this.
I should hope not.
Kick Smollett’s butt out of show business. Liar, manipulator and racist.
How is Smollett not in jail now. Corruption in Chicago is unbelievable.
Hoisted on his own petard
He will be at the grey bar hotel
He been Smollett-ti-tid
He did it to himself, dumshit
If I never hear this guys name again... I will be living a better life
👍
What? NOOOOO?!?! He was ROBBED!!! Robbed I tell you!! Robbed, .......and mugged! Mugged too! Well, mostly mugged. It must’ve been a mugging b/c didn’t Smallet write “For mugging supplies” on the memo line of that check he gave to the “The Mugger Bruhs”? MUGGED I TELL YOU!!!
If you're lucky maybe you can find two or three people on Twitter that give a Fuck... LMAO...
Will he see jail time? He certainly needs to.
No one will!
Excellent
He still owes a massive debt.
That took too long.
This young man didn't halft to do what he did. When he was already getting the attention to be a rich man..
Why not just team up with Harvey Weinstein and Matt Lauer for a new show all liberals will love?
Why would you even think of bringing him back in the first place. Hes an embarrassment to humanity
Good
Jussie Smollett has created a real life character that he must live with for the rest of his life.
Neither will anyone else. Show has been canceled
aww.
Wait wasnt the show canceled? Why would anyone be returning?
Well I would certainly hope not.
Wait....is Jessie still playing the victim?
Awesome
Nobody seems to give a s*** about this prick except for you tools in the news media !
where the feds be ?
Let's see what really happens. I just read a Variety report that the writers were readying his return. Let's hope this racist scumbag does a couple seasons behind bars for slandering half the country and wasting police resources in a crime-ridden city.
Hopefully he sues and screws himself again
Hey JussieSmollett don’t drop the soap 😂😘
I like him on empire he was a good actor and singer
Hopefully he won't beat himself up over it.😖
How about disgraced actor Smollett, portray deceased VirginiaBeach shooter DeWayneCraddock next year, in a 2-hour TVMovie!? Great ratings, and he has some experience with the role ...
Good!
GOOD! Hahahaha
As it should be $60k per episode was not enough for him so he makes up a stunt for sympathy. Despicable & well deserved
Black lies matter
So sad.
Thank you good move
Justice!
The good news for him is that Burger King is hiring.
Took this long to figure out?
Stop defending this criminal in the name of my race. The few Blacks who support him on the basis of blind race allegiance do not represent the sane Black majority who know a shameful criminal when they see one.
Goodbye 👋
You know everyone ducks up once in their life no one is perfect.
Dude should been still sitting in county jail awaiting going to trial.
Good!! I hope he never gets another acting job
Next step: investigate corrupt prosecutor who dropped his charges, try him, then throw him in jail.
Baron Jussie Munchausen revokes *title;* becomes a commoner again. JussieSmollett MunchausenSyndrome
