Need more popularity on show

Make real life courtroom drama just as convoluted as any fictional drama

Sell rights to story and outpace original show in ratings

Boy, I sure am glad this is back in the news cycle to give my MAGA hat wearing co-workers something to screech about at work tomorrow...

I want to get off Mr Bones's Wild Ride

But for real, this dude was willing to let some innocent dudes get hit for his absolute fabrication, he deserves some sort of punishment. Why did he think this was a good idea?

Watch him get hit harder than Stone, though :(

I am very much looking forward to the docu-series we'll get in 10 years to explain what the hell is even going on.

This is the weirdest story that just wont die.
Pretty simple.
Actor lied to get more popular. Chicago police corruption. Mayor, lawyers and Chicago tried to cover everything up. New York gets all the corruption press but Chicago is just as bad.

Money, popularity and thinking people will blindly believe him.


Hope he gets the help he needs because I can't imagine havinga career in show business and still justifying this as a good idea in your mind to further your career.
And he was right. Pretty much everyone here did.

In fact, weren't their bans on people who cast doubt on his story? I can't remember specifically.

Must post this for Smollett's embarrassing and despicable hoax



At least this gave me a good laugh again hearing he is once again being investigated

Has he had any kind of mental health evaluations done? It's just bonkers anyone in their right mind would go through all this for attention.
