It's funny though since in the show it is revealed a mysterious person close to Lucious is dead inside a casket. It is yet to be revealed who that mysterious person is. I bet there is something changing soon

Twist: It's actually himself and so far all the episodes are him reconciling with the fact that he died in episode 1. Reboot.
I don't actually watch the show so I don't know what's going on.
seriously. i can't imagine how hilariously awkward that scenario would have been. fuck the fake attack, i want security cam footage from that debacle
They haven't, but I can't imagine anything they did was illegal.
- The police have come out and said they think the scratches on his face were self inflicted
- Smollett himself filed the false police report, not them
- Is there any definitive proof they actually poured bleach on him? Is that some kind of simple assault?
- All of this probably goes out the window when it is proven they were paid by him anyway.
If they knew he was planning to file a false police report you theoretically could charge them with conspiracy I guess.
Probably they threatened the brothers with charges unless they turned on Smollet, is what happened?
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!
Thanks, I had no idea the person tweeting it was well known , I certainly don't follow her. I assumed it was a joke because how could it not be...
If he doesn't end up in prison, then I at least hope he spends the rest of his life under constant mockery and disdain from his communities.
I feel bad for his sister, though, she should probably just change her name before Birds of Prey comes out.
A little harsh, no?
I reserve "rest of his life" type disdain for murderers, rapists, abusers, etc.
This is the most ridiculous story I've every read.
So dude hires his own drug connect (and his brother) to "assault" him. Gives them 100 bucks, tells them what to buy. Walks them through the scene step by step. What to do, what to say, where the security camera is etc. Uses his own phone to set it up via texts/audio. Then calls after the fact to high five them for a job well done. They call him back to high five some more and he pays them with a personal fucking check?

And that's not even mentioning the hate messages w/ white powder he had sent to himself and the double and triple down?
All that so he could get some sympathy money from his TV gig? LMAO
Lawyers gonna lawyer. It's literally their job to defend their client no matter the overwhelming evidence.

"Yes he killed him in cold blood for no reason, but the real criminal here is the one who ratted him out."

I'm just talking about the guy being a joke. Like 100 years from now, perhaps people could be talking about "pulling a Smollet" whenever a stupid criminal fails miserably.
Or maybe he'll dedicate himself completely to charity and redeem himself after he finally fucking confesses, I don't know.
He clearly didn't learn how to crime. Just one of the many downsides of growing up in a good neighborhood.
The sketch about this... a fake movie trailer... on The Daily Show tonight is fucking brilliant
He was a child actor from an acting family, so he probably didn't learn much of anything past crying on command and not looking directly in the camera.
fucking idiot
All this will do is giving right wingers steam.
bloody hell, this makes me irrationally angry
ggrrr

I hear enough of it as it is. My coworker always sends me videos of people falsely claiming discrimination but they forget the police have body cams now. It's fucking embarrassing, 2 steps forward, 5 steps back. I haven't been to work in a week so I'm sure I'll have like 20 videos of this Jussie clown waiting for me.
Most actors aren't sociopaths. They're not gonna turn on the crocodile tears just to get their way like this asshole did.
He learned to walk his actors through the set, made sure they memorized their lines and pointed out where the (security) camera would be placed. So, at least he learned that.
Late now, but see my post on this very page. Shit's ridiculous.
The only things I left out is the amount he paid them ($3500), the fact that they left the country afterwards and that Chicago PD got them back and questioned them for 47-ish hours before they confessed to everything and gave them the proof. Oh, and the white powder he laced the hate letter he sent himself turned out to be crushed aspirin.

Predictably, /r/Conservative has transformed into a Jussie Smollet subreddit. What he has to do with the discussion of conservatism, who knows. That sub is always great for some cringe.
TMZ reports that Empire cast members want Jussie Smollett to either immediately resign or to be forcefully removed. Jussie also changed his number as a result of cast members blowing up his phone due to being upset at him over this.

Upset at him or trying to reach out at him seeing if he was ok. Regardless he is now a cancer on the set it seems like.
It's the negative press a show on Fox doesn't need.
Was just reading a story on MSN, that sources told CNN that the cast was expecting him to come clean and he didn't. So that's what really pushed people over the edge.
I hope Terrance Howard or Tiraji gave him a smack in the back of the head and said "a check?!?!" and then just walked away.

Won't be popular opinion but people on here are obsessed with this story as well. Sure it's interesting but the way your are all salivating over every detail is bizarre.
It probably ties together with the fact that the right is obsessed with it as well.
We're overwhelmingly progressive, and this forum is generalist, so of course it's a hot topic here. What this story has to do with conservatism is, again, beyond me.
But we all know why they're discussing it so much.
it's a well documented hoax done by a famous person. Its super interesting.
R/conservative and even GAF are obviously obsessed over this for other reason's but implying we are doing the same is wrong.
Edit: changed my wording from Gloating to Obsessed.

Hollywood actor from a popular tv show commits a controversial crime involving racism and homophobia attack on himself as stupidly as possible is fodder you'd typically see on a Law and Order episode, of course the public will be drawn to this on multiple angles. Why wouldn't people on either side of the political spectrum be all over this? Hollywood and the media in general have cottage industries built specifically to stories like this because the public can't get enough. It would bizarre for this not to be enveloped into pop culture's focus.
He didnt say gloat, he said obsessed, which Era, and every other outlet are at the moment.
I don't get how talking about a big story is obsessed. There have been like 3 threads on this over the course of the whole thing. Not sure what you guys are talking about.
Chill out my man. I was just correcting the statement made. And its perfectly fine to be obsessed with the story, everyone is.
The story was bizarre to begin with and now we're getting details like he had to reschedule his own fake beating and paying the dudes with a check. I mean how can you not follow along to this wild ass story lol.
Or it's because something like this rarely happens. and it's fascinating to watch.
