The Empire star flew from NYC to Chicago and was set upon by two white masked me who fractured his nose, put a noose around his neck, and called him a fa**ot.

Sources directly connected to Jussie tell TMZ, the actor arrived in Chicago from New York late Monday, and at around 2 AM he was hungry and went to a Subway. We're told when he walked out, someone yelled, "Aren't you that f***ot 'Empire' n*****?"
The 2 men -- both white and wearing ski masks -- viciously attacked Jussie as he fought back, but they beat him badly and fractured a rib. They put a rope around his neck, poured bleach on him and as they left they yelled, "This is MAGA country." Jussie was taken to Northwestern Memorial where he was treated. He was discharged later Tuesday morning. ThatGrapeJuice.Net first posted this letter which was sent to Fox Studios in Chicago with cut out letters spelling, "You will die black f**." Our sources say the letter was sent 8 days ago. |
| I'm sorry but the whole scenario reads like the script from an after school special. I need to hear more. |
What more do you need to hear? Or you mean you want pictures of his battered body? |

So this guy arrives in Chicago late Monday, and a few hours later there are a couple of guys who recognize him and happen to have a noose and bottle of bleach on them.
I’m not necessarily doubting that he’s an innocent victim, but someone set this up. |
So they sent a letter 8 days ago, but then spontaneously when he went to subway at 2 am, recognized him, spontaneously acquired ski masks and bleach and attacked? I'm with PP on this one. |

| I'm disgusted and horrified. Sick racist homophobic effers! |
He posted last night on Instagram when he arrived in Chicago - I have no doubt they knew he was there but I wonder if it’s a different set of individuals. Police report - |
+1. and what MAGA type knows about Empire?? Don't they only watch Last Man Standing and Fox News? |
| Poor guy!! He seems so nice! I hope those guys rot in jail for life. They’ll do this to someone else. |
| At midnight in Chicago it was -11 degrees and he decides to walk to Subway? Also two racist homophobes are just hanging around in the -11 degree weather to attack him? Those fellas are pretty dedicated racist homophobes. |
Yeah a lot of them are. |
-11?! My dog won’t even go out in that! |
Rightfully, give it a bit more time for some solid reporting to be done. |
