Smollett initially was “reluctant” to call police because of the attention he would generate as a public figure, Guglielmi said. But his manager eventually called at 2:42 a.m., about 40 minutes after the attack.

When officers showed up at the apartment, the rope was still around Smollett’s neck, said Guglielmi, who described the rope as a “thin, light rope.” Guglielmi said the rope didn’t necessarily resemble a noose.

Smollett asked officers to turn off their body cameras while interviewing him, which Guglielmi said is standard for many victims, especially inside a home.

After taking Smollett’s report, officers encouraged him to go to Northwestern Memorial Hospital for treatment to lacerations on his face and neck, Guglielmi said. Smollett’s manager took him to the hospital, and he was later released.

If he was reluctant about reporting it because of the unwanted attention, why then would he Post about it and Post photos? I don't get it. If he asked the officers to turn off their cameras to keep it private, why Post about it when he could have kept it private? Just weird. Maybe his manager talked him into using it for publicity.

He hasn't posted anything....

The photos of the persons of interest are complete crap. Unless they pick them up later on another camera with a better, clearer angle, I don't think they'll be found.

Also, he said they were white but they are not dressed like white guys at all. Their clothing and posture screams AA to me.

Nothing is adding up.

A gay friend has the theory that perhaps one of the men propositioned him on Grindr or Tinder and then when he showed up to meet the guy, the other came out and they jumped him. Or they used a hot gay guy image to catfish him to attack him. Who carries around thin rope and bleach?

bondage rope?

And bleach would have ruined his clothes and burned his skin.

Please. Pray tell. How exactly do black men dress and stand? I think you're confusing Urban with black and confusing critical thinking with racist stereotypes

Lol! Too funny, white lady. Congrats for being able to tell a perp's racial background by clothing choices, even when the temp is -11.

^ not just clothing choices, but by posture too. I don't even know where to start with that one. Holy hell with some people

Where did he post about it? I don't see anything on any of his social media.

PP, agreed. I'm black--I guess all of us have the same posture, and that it's a big tell to our racial background during polar vortexes.

TMZ posted this one.

Lee Daniels briefly posted, but then deleted, a screen grab from a FaceTime he had with Jussie while he was in the hospital

[Anonymous]

Oh, okay, just as I thought, he did not post this. TMZ got a hold of his facetime with Lee Daniels and they posted it. I've seen Lee Daniels speaking out about this incident in interviews.

TMZ is so opportunistic!

Lee Daniels should be ashamed. You are not Jussie’s family or his sister and should not have posted a private FaceTime call or photos period. Gross.

Not only that but why did he ever take a screen shot of his FaceTime in the first place?

As soon as I got away from attackers or as soon as I got home, I would take a noose off my neck. Especially since he wasn't intending to report it or go to the ER..

Who sits in their house with a rope around their neck from an attack?

This is all sounding way off.

I agree with the theory, he met up with someone from Grindr, it went wrong, there was a physical altercation. He may well have been the victim in that altercation

I don't think there were ski masks, or bleach or a noose.

Maybe he didn’t want to spend enough time taking off the rope lest his attackers catch him?

Apprently police asked to see his phone/phone records to confirm he was on the phone with his manager at the time of the attack and he refused
