At this point I’d be shocked if he pleaded out, he double downed and then triple downed on the whole situation. Even if the letters turn out not to be done by him, his situation with the DUI shows he has a history of this kind of behavior. I’d be willing to bet on some jail time.

The irony of using racism to defend someone who faked a hate crime, and just might be the one to send the threats through the mail is hilarious. That being said, he was given a second chance after he lied to police about his identity during his DUI case. He should have embraced that and kept his nose clean. He didn’t, he is responsible for his own actions.

Excessive? No prison? Can’t say I agree with you. Faking a hate crime in this day and age is unacceptable. He earned his ruined reputation, and just think, if he’s connected to the threats sent to him in the mail then it becomes a federal issue. Bottom line is if Jussie didn’t want this to happen, he should have never done it. Everything that happens from here on out is deserved.

I can see it now... ”Int. Doctor Now’s office - night A weary and worn nurse is illuminated by street light filtering through the blinds. She takes a drag of her cigarette. “Penny? I haven’t heard that name in years....”

This was the first one I truly got angry about, and it was because of one specific scene. The parking lot incident, now I’ve read through chat and I know a lot of you got angered to the woman. That wasn’t it for me it was Tiffany’s I’m handicapped comment. At 33 I have arthritis in both of my knees and in my back, I can’t tell you how many days I wake up in pain. Yet I still average (according to my pedometer) over 3 miles a day. I get she’s obese but once (or if) she’s gets down to a normal weight she’ll be able to walk without issue, I don’t get that luxury. I know it’s such a little nitpick but it really angered me.

Like the Jews being assaulted in NYC with no press? Oh wait, that’s not a threat because it’s happening but since it’s not MAGA hat wearers committing the assaults it’s not important. Yeah, I think the obsession with Jussie’s hoax is the fact so many people fell for it and rode it going so far as to try to introduce a bill because of it and he can’t even say sorry. At least it’s getting the MAGA assaults some publicity! 81 year old assaulted for wearing MAGA hat Man charged for pulling gun on MAGA hat wearing couple Woman arrested for assaulting MAGA hat wearer in Cape Cod

But I thought the brothers were good wholesome non homophobic folks, isn’t that what the Empire cast said?

Compassion for what? A known liar who hit every button to get people riled up? Ellen Page wasn’t calling for compassion, AOC wasn’t calling for compassion, Booker and Harris wanted to use his lies to justify a lynching bill. I mean even after the Nigerian brothers got arrested he didn’t open his mouth about them working together as he is now after he’s been indicted. Any compassion he could have gotten went out the window when he doubled down on his lies.

Dee, you know what’s funny. In the past 4 months 17 Jews have been physically assaulted, targeted for being Jewish. These assaults were caught on camera, and yet as a Jew I have yet to see outrage like Jussie’s bs has gotten. Maybe it’s because the people committing the assaults aren’t white Trump supporters? Who knows. Bottom line is, what Jussie did was a slap in the face to everyone.

A wife abuser supports a hoaxer who’s lied to the police before. What a world we live in.

I was about to say, I’ve seen some people on molly and that certainly didn’t make them do this.

We know prosecutors have texts of him setting this up, we know that his timeline made absolutely no sense, we know he kept changing his story, we know that unlike the Jews of NYC none of the assault was captured on camera. I know you want to defend him and his actions but there’s literally nothing to defend. He lied to police again, he attempted to incite people against Trump supporters with absolutely nothing to back it up. How is it in the most surveyed part of Chicago there is not one piece of footage to back his story up? Why did he refuse to sit for the police when they wanted to ask him some more questions? He did this to himself and he did the LGBTQIA community a diservice, anything that happens now to him is deserved.

They’re all still on that episode, which was still shelved. I read the tweet and what Clay Aiken said and I have no idea where you could get they said he was Clay’s opponent. This was simply Clay being upset because his episode was shelved because of Jussie’s idiocy.

“Text messages between Smollett and brothers Abimbola “Abel” and Olabinjo “Ola” Osundairo that detailed how the 45-second attack was to be allegedly orchestrated were read in court. “Smollett texted Abel stating, ‘Might need your help on the low. You around to meet up and talk face to face?’ ” according to the bond proffer from prosecutors obtained by multiple news outlets. “Smollett then stated that he wanted to stage an attack where Abel would appear to batter him. Smollett also suggested that Ola assist him with the attack.” Not bad for a man who went on national television to say he respected hate crime victims too much to lie about this. No wonder he turned over a heavily redacted record.

To me there’s really no difference. Dee keeps saying it doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t make sense. Did it make sense to lie to the police he first time? No. Why would it make sense now? It still doesn’t.

He. Lied. To. The. Police. In. 2007. For. His. DUI. Arrest. He said he was his brother and signed his brothers name. How does that make any sense? He could have royally screwed his career then and did still did it anyways. He probably thought he got away with it once, he could do it again. TNT pulls Smollett’s episode of ‘Drop The Mic’

Jussie Smollett lied to the police about his identity, giving and signing his brother’s name with the DUI arrest in 2007. That is a fact. Does that make any sense?

Which was to be expected? Seems like a bit of a racist statement. Can you explain why Trevor Noah went after him then? He’s black. Why Kamala Harris and Corey Booker are back tracking like mad, now wanting to wait for the facts? They’re black. Got to give Jussie credit, he did an amazing job in dividing people even more! Your statement proves it! Jussie was attacked, Jussie is a victim, wait there’s no evidence of the attack, wait he’s changing the story, it’s ok! If you don’t believe him you’re racist.

“The misdemeanor complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court in September 2007 says that Smollett gave the name of his brother, Jake Smollett, when he was asked by an officer. He also signed a false name on the promise to appear in court. Smollett also was later charged with false impersonation, driving under the influence and driving without a valid license.” I really don’t know why you keep saying none of this makes sense. Seems like this isn’t the first time he’s pulled something shady.

Wanted the sympathy, just look at his concert. Sold out after the assault happened. Probably figured he’d make his rounds, get patted on the back for being brave and cruise into roles galore to make up for it. At the same time, the motive makes about as much sense as his story about being attacked.

Just like the Jews, in NYC alone 17 were physically assaulted in the past four months on camera. I think the problem is the people committing these acts aren’t white MAGA people. Look how fast the media ran with Smollett’s story after he said that.

If Smollett is behind those letters he’s going to be in much more trouble.

Like how CPD still investigated and worked hard on the case knowing that he’s lied to the police in the past?

There is literally no reason to justify these actions. I have no idea why we need to wait for him to give us his motives. I mean look at NYC right now, Jews have been assaulted frequently, but unlike Jussie Smollett these were caught on camera, but can’t seem to illicit the kind of outrage this case got. He played the media, he knew just what to say and he won that great PR front until his story started changing, until he had to make himself big and brave without cooperating with police.
