Empire's cocreator has seemingly closed the door on Smollett forever.

In late January, the actor told police in Chicago that he was attacked by two men who threw a chemical substance on him, called him anti-gay and racist slurs, and put a rope around his neck. He also said they shouted"This is MAGA country" at him.

But after police investigated, it appeared that the actor staged the attack with the help of two brothers, Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo. In March, Smollett was indicted by a grand jury on 16 counts, including filing a false police report. But the charges were dropped later that month by the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, which cited Smollett’s lack of danger to the public, his community service, and forfeiture of $10,000 in bail.

Smollett has maintained his innocence throughout the ordeal and insisted that he was attacked. An email to his spokesperson was not immediately returned Tuesday.At the time of its renewal, there seemed to be a possibility that Smollett, who played Jamal Lyon for's first five seasons, could return.

You can't turn a male into a female or vice versa w/o changing everything including DNA, bone/muscle structure, all glands, organs & brains etc. to the opposite sex which is impossible to do. A 'he' can never be a real 'she'! You can't defeat laws of Physics of actual reality.

Men were not designed to be with men nor women for women. One who tells you you can override that design w/o severe 'reaction' consequences (domino/ripple/2nd hand smoke effects) lies b/c they don't know what exists in 'permanent' actual reality with respect to laws of Physics.

Why not? He’s an icon to the liberal folk
