Remember the Morton Downey Jr. hoax for attention? |
He needs more help than prison if this story turns out to be a hoax. No normal human being acts this way unless s/he is desperate. |
| I'm confused how staging an attack would affect being written off the show? |
| I remembee when Xander SAIde whipped Northwestern U. into a frenzy with his hoax fake crime. |
Free publicity and massive sympathy for the new Hero of the Resistance... |

Hmmm - if only there were a name for a crime motivated by racial animus?
What name would that be?? . . . |
We'll be finding out something - soon, I hope. https://twitter.com/RobElgasABC7/status/1096472093334614016

Pretty sure there's no way this can't be anything but a hoax orchestrated by Jussie. The two Nigerian brothers are now arrested and they are the exact opposite of the suspects Jussie sent the police after.
https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/15/entertainment/jussie-smollett-suspects/index.html Two suspects have been arrested in connection to an attack reported by "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett, Chicago Police Department said Friday. The men arrested were the same men that police previously said were being viewed as "potential suspects," according to Tom Ahern, Chicago police communications deputy director. They have not been charged. Earlier Friday, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said two Nigerian brothers were being treated as "potential suspects" and that detectives had "probable cause that they may have been involved in an alleged crime." |
I wouldn't jump to conclusions so quickly. Maybe those "Nigerian brothers" are really Rachel Dolezal and a friend who have gone trans-race, trans-gender, trans-country and trans-politics in order to teach poor Smollett a lesson? |

It sounds staged and explains the timing of the attack (very late on a frigidly cold evening) because Smollett’s flight was delayed and the guys had a plane to catch the next day. Otherwise, they would have had to wait three weeks. My guess is that they’re going to spill the beans today.
There were so many fishy things before: 1. Who carries around bleach and a rope for a random attack at 2 a.m. on a frigidly cold night? You’d have to be pretty damn motivated or drunk. 2. Smallest didn’t immediately report it. 3. Smollett kept the damn rope on for two hours after the attack. Wouldn’t you remove it ASAP, especially given it what it symbolizes? 4. Smollett’s alibi is his agent. Why do you talk to your agent at 2 am? Wouldn’t you call friends and family instead? 5. The MAGA stuff and the letter that was previously sent to his office just sounded too contrived (as did the bleach). Now it looks like he cooked this up with his friends for whatever reason... |
I would love to see a musical version of this on Broadway. Perhaps Jussie could play himself once he's a free man. |

Nothing is going to happen to him because of what he did - no jail time, no fine, NOTHING.
And why? Do you really need to ask? just keep it moving.... |
He was talking to his agent during the attack - remember? The phone was in his pocket during the conversation and during the attack. So as someone quickly approached him, he must have quickly placed the phone in his pocket (b/c that's easy to do when someone smacks you around in front while another kicks you in the back) and fought back (as he claimed) until they decided to end it and walk off . . . The phone DROPPED to the ground at some point. And the manager, who was on the entire time, heard MAGA! Who wouldn't believe this, PP? Smollett is a victim of two Nigerian men - extras on Empire - who "beat him." totally believable |
yeah Something tells me the same thing . . . |
Hey, if that manager provided false testimony, isn't that prosecutable too? |
