So all those Nigerian celebrities who gave themselves brain tumor over this incident can now learn never to really believe everything they read online. Especially if the details are sketchy.

I don’t get it.
Rather than fake it using only makeup he went the extra mile.
When they say black people lack brain cells I’m slowly tending to believe.

He claimed to be assaulted by Trump ers in a hate crime and gave a very inconsistent and unbelievable story. There were all sorts of reasons people doubted it- the unlikelihood of anyone recognizing him at night in -20 degree temperatures or the fact he was carrying a cell phone in one hand, subway sandwich in the other, and 'fought back' yet was on video walking away unscathed, sandwich in hand.
His story was very widely touted in the media and lots of celebrities, talk shows, politicians, etc lined up to denounce the attack and use it as a reason to condemn Trump. Multiple democratic presidential candidates issued statements condemning the supposed hate crime, and Jussie was given prime airtime to tell his story, and we got to watch Ellen Page go on Colbert's show and give a real imioned denunciation of Trump and whatnot.
Now in the past few days details have trickled out from the Chicago PD investigation that are establishing how Jussie Smollett orchestrated the whole thing. The two attackers he had described as white men wearing MAGA caps were actually two black nigerian extras from Empire and his gym buddies. His botched attempt to mislead police with doctored cell phone logs led investigators right to his conspirators, and police quickly had proof of them using Lyft to that part of town and back, and buying the clothesline used as a noose. When questioned, they spilled the beans and said Jussie paid them $4000 to stage the assault. Now we're at the point where the nigerians have been released without charges, but police wish to question Jussie again, and he has lawyered up hardcore.
You write so beautifully.

shocked

He seeks to paint the Trump istration bad..
But it has come back to bite him




This is surprising..
He should be prosecuted if found guilty..

I actually felt somehow about the news when it first broke (Like it was fake).. I guess I was right.
May God help us all.
The Trump istration is bad. I doubt that was why.

The report and widespread broadcast and TV interviews are all because he is gay. Nowhere near that coverage would be given now that it was all a set up.... that would not be good for gays.

Stop sharing fake stuff online,even the report you posted never stated clearly that they did it and that's why police released them,police only went after them because they were seen around the area and that's all,stop helping police propagate their defense of white supremacist.
After the Osundairo brothers were arrested, their lawyer, Gloria Schmidt, told News agencies they were not involved in the attack and secured their release.
