CHICAGO — Actor Jussie Smollett faces new charges for reporting an attack that Chicago authorities contend was staged to garner publicity, according to media reports Tuesday.
Smollett, who is black and gay, asserted he was the target of a racist and homophobic attack in January 2019. Smollett was originally charged the following month with disorderly conduct for allegedly staging the attack and lying about it to investigators. The charges were dropped in March 2019 with little explanation, angering police officials and then-Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
RyanHillMI Every time I type Smollett my phone changes it to “Skillet.” I guess that is God’s way of saying his goose is cooked, which is appropriate for the criminal hoax he committed. Skillet will do the perp walk & be popular w/inmates. Do the crime, be prepared to do the time.🇺🇸RLTW🇺🇸
donlemon report this!!
donlemon you gonna be ok?
realamberheard will be next! JusticeForJohnnyDeep
Justice delayed is justice served Time Ro own up to your foolish actions & worse coverup And no one of political influence to pull strings for you this time Your on your own
To be fair, this is actually honest reporting. The police have been saying for awhile that this was a hoax, and I'm glad they're finally being recognized.
Here, I'll do it for you, BREAKING: Reports: Actor Missie Smollett faces charges stemming from an alleged attack. Chicago police maintain the alleged attack was a hoax.
Shouldn't you say alleged attack? Or has the ap investigation concluded that Chicago really is MAGA country?
*WAS a hoax
It was a hoax.
perhaps this would have been over a long time ago if trump, inc. wasn’t fighting the law from their corner..maybe they’re on the same chain, wheel etc..Which is why Jussie played a part in MAGA..my theory on justiceforjussie
Well it was a hoax, so there’s that. That’s some next level spin.
If he just admitted he did it to get headlines and boost his career I could at least respect his honesty.
'Subway? .....SANDwiches? Okay...'
It was a hoax though so
Your headline is why you cannot be trusted. Clearly, everyone knows it was a hoax.
About time.
“...charges for reporting attack?” That’s what you’re going with? He’s charged with “reporting an attack?” You people are pathetic.
Bout time
'Reporting attack' No, he faked his attack. JussieSmollett ap FakeNews
Fixed it for you
This tweet is not accurate
His accomplices confessed. They're on clear video buying the gear to stage the hoax AP: 'Police *say* was a hoax' Keep wondering why media isn't trusted anymore.
...because it was. Seriously now, deleteyouraccount and lrn2c0de
'that Chicago police say' That EVERYONE says was a hoax. EVERYONE!
DanaTylerTV Throw his ass in prison
Lol
If he does it enough times he’ll piss off the wrong people and they’ll give him a real beating.
I heard CNN offered him a job for being able to create a story out of thin air dontbeatyourselfupjussie
It was a hoax, why does it pain you to state it as such.
Who?
Good !!!!
Lock em up, needs to learn a lesson .
Lol, his “attackers” say it was a hoax too.... 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂
Leave this man alone.
Poor Juicy. Someone alert the French Consulate.
different set of rules if you're black or brown
Take a shot every time a Demo-shat mentioned Trump in the comments 😂
'police say' 🙄 You do you, AP.
This is great news. I was wondering when he was going to get his.

Could have, should have, would have just paid the fine & been done with it probably. What is this mans problem?
Punk needs to man up and pay the price for what he did. What kind of loser fakes a hate crime to get attention?
Smollett pinned the scheme on 2 African guys despite knowing what we all know about how the American justice system treats black men. It’s colourism and Smollett took advantage of it. Those brothers were in jeopardy of going to jail for a crime they didn’t commit. Sound familiar?
justiceforjuicy
About time.
Not just the Chicago PD, everyone with an once of common sense and without prejudices knows this was a hoax.
He be too pretty just for orange Jello and flying mop handles... Yeoww!!
I cant wait to see the looks on the faces of all the kkklansmen when it's proven in court that his original story was 100% true and that Chicago pd is just corrupt as fuck.
Nothing but fake news comes from the left! Most of us saw this hoax immediately but like all the other hoaxes the liberals have to beat their chests and lie to the dumb people in the country before they are exposed...the damage was done!
Breaking: Only AP isn't sure if it MIGHT have been a hoax.
It WAS a hoax. Don't you people follow the news?
About time.
All the murders rape & kidnappings in Chicago but they focused on this case? They hate seeing a black man walk OUT of a courtroom free. It made their blood boil.
Real hate crimes
Looks like Grand Jury says it was a hoax Why you trying to lie about what is happening?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Wait wait. Ok 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😘🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Police say was a hoax..” 🤔
And yet the president can be corrupt and be acquitted.
What took so long!!
How is the DA allowing any more resources to go to jussie. They really don't have any more cases in Chicago
He wasn’t lying, he was
Put him behind bars. Ironically he'll get out early thanks to Trump. Or you know what I hope someone just ups and does something to him..........just to prove a point
“Alleged hoax” lol
DaveChappelle enjoy
IT WAS A HOAX? WHAAAAAAAAAAAA? Unpossible!!!
It was a hoax.
Jussie must have forgot that racists wear badges and robes, instead of MAGA hats.
Sweet! There's enough racism and homophobia in America with some asshole making it up for the sake of publicity!!!
Justice
Actually, FakeNews he isn’t facing new charges for ‘reporting an attack’; he’s facing new charges for perpetrating a hoax.
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
IT WAS A HOAX!
Only the police say it was a hoax? I say every sentient being in the universe says it was a hoax. And THIS is why we hate journalists and the press. You lie to us and insult us. We don’t like you.
He had multiple chances to come clean about whatever he was trying to get across and he chose to stick with his lie. Everyone that went live to announce they believed him with no evidence.
Guess he won’t be returning to Empire after all.
Good
Say? It was a hoax.
This puts a big, joyous smile on my face
The fool needs to be in jail
It WAS a hoax
It was a hoax. Proven
Good
He isn’t in trouble for reporting the attack he’s in trouble because he made up an entire hoax
Lets try the same scenario,but white boy. Youd be screaming for his head. Denying race to prove youre not racist...is being racist too
“...*say* was a hoax” ? 😂 It was definitely a hoax, apparently is also a hoax
A grand jury will indict a ham sandwich. It's all how the prosecutor lays out the case. It's highly biased. The good thing is Smollets attorney can shred their case and reveal all the DA/police incompetence at trial. My suspicion is that the two brothers planned all of it to 1/2
It’s about time
Hey, , the only reason the police said it was a hoax is because, it was so obviously a hoax. Even a journalist should see that.
Finally 🙄
Yet the cow who lied about Emmett Till flirting with her leading to his lynching still walks free to this day Amerikkka
Well, it was a hoax, so...
Doesn't matter. Just call trump! He'll tweet and get Jussie off, right?
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Good. Hope Kim Foxx is removed, disgraceful.
Long overdue.
Smollett- Sham Coup Attempts - Socialist- Communist- Man/Man Sexual Relationships - Transgenderism - Man/Girl Bathrooms - next maybe Parent/Child Marriage
THIS IS MAGA COUNTRY SON!!!!
Long overdue 🚔👮♂️👮♀️
Bout time!
Anyone who believes the historically corrupt Chicago PD, I have some oceanfront property in Chicago to sell you dirt cheap.
Glad to see that charges are being laid against him for his lies that make racial matters worse not better.
About time
Couldn’t have happened to a more aweful human being
LOL
Probably because he didn't win the 2020 Oscars
If justice prevails. Now let’s see how much power the swamp has left- if they even try and save him. Hopefully they don’t call in the Clinton Crew for clean up. SenKamalaHarris SenBooker ValerieJarrett
Everyone hasn't collectively wasted enough time and money on this yet? Honestly.
cool, I'm going to rock my 'Justice for Juicy' shirt I got for Christmas.
You pick weird times to presume innocence
BarackObama and MichelleObama were behind this guy, and NOW are saying there is disinformation going around trying to elect realDonaldTrump. Liberals, these two grifters have been using you for 8 years, they offer nothing, but hate and lies disguised as love and compassion.
NBAonTNT 😂
Meh. This story has been & is still absolutely shaky at best & I refuse to throw him under the bus for facts that came from a police department with deep history of corruption. I truly hope if he’s innocent he took this time to align his ducks and come back with fire & receipts
Kim Foxx charges to follow will be music to my ears!
The same conservative MAGAts excited about this won't say anything this...
Put him at Pelican Bay in general population so he can experience real hate crimes.
The Chain Gang coming up
Trying to make Jessie go viral again? LoL
He just made real victims harder to believed...
Don't forget his friends Kamala Harris and Corey Booker mysteriously came up with anti-lynching law prior to Jussie's fake attack.
How they gonna do our boy Juicy like dat? 😢😤 BootyBowlChamp Kotahlicious
This again. I thought we left this in 2019!! Come on yall.
