Show ratings supposedly way down bcse of Smollett. Nt sure why real fans wld punish a grt shw bcs of one allgd act by one cat member. These episodes wer Sgt b4 & he is CT out ot rst. The last 2 shws were grt. Espclly the latest one. Ths sms to b mre abt a charter u nvr liked .
Dont worry I'm SURE this gay black millionaire is the victim of systemic racism...
My thoughts on the JussieSmollettHoax
He’s gone off the deep end! 🙄
It is amazing how the police cn attempt to pt a young black man in prison fr a possbl minor offense bt cn nvr do the same to their own officers fr killing unarmed black men women and chldrn do nt drnk the pt jussie in prsn fr yrs koolaide
I belve him until prvn quilty. Overkill of chgs and some lies told by police is enough fr reasonsble doubt.
What are your thoughts on that CNN? Or maybe just gonna not say bc it’s not something bad about trump and it doesn’t forward your dumb fake narrative that has gotten you rich the past few years? Grow a soul and get out of your echo chambers. You guys are almost always wrong :/
So, no damning accusations against this guy? He could have started a race war with beatings, destruction and deaths, and no outrageous comments from CNN If he were a white guy, CNN would blame Trump. Who is to blame for this?
MAGA KEEPAMERICAGREAT DRAINTHESWAMP AMERICA1ST
Holding out for a Veto or Pardon from Trump no doubt. delusional JusticeForJussie jailforjussie
Juicy Smellett is going to wear a prison uniform soon
A former top aid of Michelle Obama’s requested that Chicago PD turn the investigation of Smullet over to the FBI when it happened...🤔
CNN R. Kelly is NOT guilty.
The problem that needs addressing is the African American community making up proven and documented lies about white people. Bearing false witness. Repeatedly. Over 100 proven false claims in the last year. Mostly blamed are white people. This has become and epidemic of racism.
Wait, I thought he admitted to all of this? He DID stage a hate crime. he DID file a false police report. Now he's pleading not guilty? What did I miss? Apparently a lot. Sheesh.
Why hide behind the Sun glasses
If he really wanted a hate crime, he should have worn that MAGA hat!
He just can’t seem to admit the truth....that he is a lying POS, can he?
Lock him up
Please don't give him anymore airtime just give him jail time
Guys obviously a liar so who shocked he thinks he is innocent? Can’t even be honest with himself
Hollywood Elite are so out of touch!
Did he make sure his attorney had her cleavage exposed to show the world what kind of cool dude he is?
I get the impression this guy still tells himself he’s some sort of victim or martyr “fighting the system”.
Brought to you by Allahu Akbar
The Truth Shall Set You Free! Well not in your case.
Then plea bargaining lol.
Why does he have body guards?
This is his biggest acting gig.
So now he is no longer claiming to be a victim of an attack but rather the victim of the CPD?
Might be prudent to give him roles from now on playing lyin ass bad guys in movies that cannot be trusted, and you certainly don't want to turn your back on.
Your 15 minutes of fame will define you for life if you persist. ( did you take R Kellys sunglasses?)
Not guilty?! Haha ok bro
This cat is truly delusional, among other things.
It’s a good thing I’m not the judge cause I’m afraid I’d hurt his feelings
Let's see how it plays out for him. Likely they're going to look to make an example out of him and then people will complain that it's race motivated or something
Sounds of the Universe
I would command him to remove his glasses in court! Just a real P.O.S.
Baha! 😂 Idiot....
LOCK HIM UP - this entitled light skinned brother needs to learn lessons. He's counting on his celebrity to return a not guilty verdict. I hope the jurors see through his dark lying glasses into his cheating-drama-greedy soul and LOCK HIM UP. JussieSmollett MINIMIZED REAL HATE
Guess he’s hoping to get a book or movie deal for his story
Now trying to lie and get out of trouble for doing the something so vile and disgusting . Thai is the liberal way !
Stop giving him attention
As not guilty as OJ and Casey Anthony
Not a guilty man in Shawshank....
Jussie can’t wait...
Oh, really?
What a total liar. Plenty of evidence against him. He's a punk. His lies may have started a race war. Put him in prison for as long as allowed by law,and be done with him,we're sick of hearing about it. Jussie,the whole worlds knows now,your a LIAR!!
Guilty as charged
This guy needs to go away ASAP.
Don’t drop the soap Jussie
Just delaying the inevitable. Jail time. Going to make an example out of him. Not many things worse than faking a hate crime .
Has no career or talent (hence the write off from the show) and he still keeps acting... Do prisons still put on inmate talent shows
He seems so honest behind sun glasses….
Lol look at the sunglasses what fools
16 counts is absurd. The politicians doesn’t get that for their fraud and money laundering. Smh
Why doesn't he just come clean and get it over with.
Smug & Arrogant did you expect it a any other way? If this dude is found guilty he deserves every bit of what he has coming from the judge that sentences him.
'NOT GUILTY, HIS GAYASS'
Alternate universe.
Lol this dude man. Some nerves he’s got. Lol!! Lol!!!!he cracks me up though lol!!!
Of course! Smollett’s Attorneys will make him look like the Victim.
Effective immediately, we will begin importing Nigerians to help facilitate the hate my party so desperately needs to survive
A judge and jury will decide. It is in a court, which is where it belongs.
That white woman next to him came dressed for tv. She wants to be famous.
For his own sake, he should plead guilty and get probation. For the public's sake, he should go to trial so he can have all of his lies exposed.
muttslikeme Bruh 🤦🏾♂️
Still doesn’t make sense why he would make this shit up ... like I didn’t even need to further his career he was already pretty popular
I believe he should be prosecuted for any and all crimes he committed. He tried to make a statement about Racism on the Rep. Party that could have caused riots. Maybe he needs Community Service to be part of sentences.
He needs to admit what he did and ask for mercy. The cards are stacked against him.
He is liar, and should be prosecuted to the fullest.
Ladies & gentleman I give you the....
Of course he did, no surprise!
It was simply a mistake. Don’t beat yourself up over it too much.
He has all these people behind him walking with him in court. Why didn’t you have all those people walking with you to subways in Chicago in the dam middle of the night.
I thought it was a tazer. Was in fear for my life....
Ex-Empire actor. Just making things clear.
He gets more screen time by pleading not guilty.
His right. Why would you plead guilty to it? Hello. Lawyer up he had money. Hell people believe him. Many think it is racist to prosecute him. What does he have to lose?
Next.......
Damn!! He just lied again!
'If the rope don't fit, you must acquit.'
I will never watch CNN. Too much fake news.
Pathetic
Finally a picture of the perp!!
When trial starts, dude will be begging for a plea bargain
not worth the coverage
Yeah, well the thing is...
MegWagner + BrianRies cc: megwagner brianries Ppl who abuse their power are finally being held accountable. Google Sandy Hook CenTer. NYPD Falsified/ committed FRAUD Informational Report/ General Investigation to terrorize Brooke Shields in2 filing False Police Report.

Gotta milk it as long as he can...
Sometimes people really believe their own lies
Good. No plea deal.
The good news is that Smollett will get to play the role of his life as a whining, crying, snivelling inmate which will enhance his acting resume. Also, a great chance to improve his social life.
Seriously? If he can't admit guilt he isn't OK. Hasn't he been proven guilty?
As long as this trial is going on he is going to be in the spotlight, good or bad. Because he knows as soon as its over his career is done.
I’m so sick of hearing about this.
Is guy issa real actor hhhhhh he thought he's behind camera or what
So cocky.
good. no plea bargain.
Good luck with that buddy!
Is he guilty? i don't know? Does it seems like they framed him? Yes. But ih well.... Rich people's problem.
Sounds like Don Lemon coached him up
Smollet threw away his good life. Truth is, that female and colored actors don't get paid their share!
They have him dead to rights.
If I keep denying it, people will believe me because, you know, I’m a gay black man and have privilege.
Buying time, tried to make drama in the court room and get sympathy. His lawyers are gonna try to at least bring it down from 16 to 12
I'm gonna guess his innocence is because the brothers lied about what the check was for, making it convenient to make it look like they were paid to beat him up. I don't see Trump's base believing the check he wrote to Cohen either.
Denial is the first stage......
Governor Newsom will probably pardon you.
Barf.
Man, this guy needs to go to trade school and learn some integrity
Stop wasting criminal justice time and take the plea.
Why all the people following him that’s funny
Bro you a black man in America- your not going to get the benefit of doubts. Just tell the truth and lets move on.
Which means he thinks his buddies should do time for a hate crime (as he maintains he is the victim here). One thing to set this whole thing up, a whole other level of low to have your friends take the fall for you.
colinflaherty
Trash bag
Lol, for a second there I was like damn bruh added weight that quick? Dude behind him looks a lot like him
Pleads Not Guilty
Confirmation of his idiocy.
The Dirty Dems always stand strong! Even when they know they've been caught.
And why wouldn't he?... Gotta love the American Justice system... The Best Justice system Money can Buy... Wait, What?...
A complete waste of a persons life.
He is going down
This guy is derranged
Ha...good luck getting outta this one
GUILTY NEXT!
Lock him up
Classic 'Shaggy' defense... nice.
Hey DavidWohl can you tag one of Jacob's accounts so he knows....
Why wouldn’t he? No one goes to jail in this country anymore.
sociopath
Arsenal is winning today
What y’all lying about today?
justiceforjussie
Well played Jussie well played
DavidWohl make sure to pass this info along to Jakey, given Jussie is his idol and all
Throw him in jail already and stop giving him air time for crying out loud! Everyone who does such things, regardless of race or gender should be arrested, period!
Ummmm. Ok.
