Case dropped against popular actor accused of hate attack hoax

“He was a victim who was vilified and made to appear as a perpetrator as a result of false and inappropriate remarks made to the public causing an inappropriate rush to judgement,” the attorneys said.

Smollett was accused of sending himself a threatening letter and hiring two acquaintances to stage a street attack, complete with homophobic and racial slurs, while invoking Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan. The case invoked widespread sympathy for the actor and outrage over the attack. But the actor was later written out of the last two episodes of the Fox Network television program “Empire,” amid uproar over the accusations against him.
