We should all be outraged, as this guy should have had his day in court. It appears that there is a special justice system for those that are connected.

going forward is a waste.

Worse case scenario he made a false report to police. BFD

Of course, the network is backtracking now & "exploring their options."

This is their way of saying "uhhh, we F'ed up royally & jumped the gun, so if we let you come back to the network in some capacity with a pay raise, will you PLEASE not sue us??"

This was all because Terrence Howard had a diva moment & wanted Jussie fired right now yesterday, absolutely immediately!

As the star of the show, he put major pressure on Lee Daniels, Danny Strong, Francie Calfo & all of the FOX execs that if they didn't fire Jussie that Terrence would walk & the fans would walk away with him. Empire's numbers have dropped way down from Season one from 25M viewers per show, to less than 5M now (and that's prior to this whole mess). They got scared & caved to his demands.

The quote below is by far the most entertaining part about their F up.

"Shortly after he was charged and released on bond, the network issued a statement that they were "exploring their options."

I always hated Terrence Howard. I was happy when he was kicked off the Ironman series.

He is not a diva he is schizophrenic so I don't think the post above is really an insider because they would know that.

Oh! Still never liked TH, but knowing he has an illness, maybe I can try to be more understanding.

I believe he was guilty

which is WEIRD! If he claimed he was so innocent, why the need to seal the case?

You'd think he'd want everyone to know of his "innocence."

He's a lying fool who got his way, and everyone - except for the morons - knows it.

lol

Everyone knows he's not innocent. Everyone knows he bought his way out of being guilty.
