CHICAGO — Attorneys for Empire actor Jussie Smollett say there are no plans for him to meet with Chicago detectives Monday for a follow-up interview about his reported assault.

Anne Kavanagh is a spokeswoman for Smollett’s lawyers. She says in an emailed statement that his lawyers “will keep an active dialogue with Chicago police on his behalf.”

Smollett reported last month that he was physically attacked by two men who yelled homophobic and racial slurs. He said they also yelled he was in “MAGA Country,” an apparent reference to U.S. President Donald Trump’s campaign slogan.

Police said Saturday that the investigation had “shifted” after detectives questioned two brothers about the attack and released them without charges. Police say they’ve requested a follow-up interview with Smollett.

Police detained two brothers, identified as Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo last week, who were recognized from surveillance footage taken in the area of the alleged assault.

One of the brothers had appeared as an extra on Empire and the other was Smollett’s personal trainer. According to a local CBS affiliate, the brothers told detectives they rehearsed the attack with Smollett days prior to it happening. The actor allegedly paid them $3,500.

Detectives released the brothers last week without charges citing “new evidence” that had emerged while they were being questioned.

Smollett’s lawyers say the actor feels “victimized” by reports that he played a role in the assault.

“As a victim of a hate crime who has cooperated with police, Jussie Smollett is angered and devastated by recent reports that the perpetrators are individuals he is familiar with,” his lawyers said. “He has now been further victimized by claims attributed to these alleged perpetrators that Jussie played a role in his own attack.”

Twentieth Century Fox Television, which broadcasts Empire, backed the actor, insisting he is a “core character” and dismissing claims he was to be written off, which at one point was cited in reports as possible motivation for Smollett to stage his own attack.

All I thought about when I saw this Jussie **** was....Damn...I wonder what Carbi B thinks

 

[vood99]

He plays that Strong Buck role perfectly .

I really want to know how far he is going to go with this, "Everything is toxic" World Tour

@dcallamerican It's ironic that a cat who's shirtless at every given opportunity resulting in the emasculation of everyone in his presence, is crying about toxic masculinity.

how does him taking off his shirt emasculate others? because he's muscle bound? I'm sorry but if that makes someone feel emasculated the ship already sailed

[putting in work]

His siblings are now blaming the media and saying it's their fault and he's the victim.

Doing some Fox News hate watching this evening

Greg Gutfeld was condemning Smollett for trying to "divide the country" and "start a race war"

Juan Williams started to talk about the rise in hate crimes in the past two years

Gutfeld cut him off by screaming "not true! not true!" and then they went to commercial

 

[Mark Antony]

The talking points sound familiar.

 

[AZwildcats]

Fox News and the conservative media are having a field day with this. What an incredibly selfish thing for this dude Jussie to do

 

[sharpshooter718]

Had this chick going off on me cuz I called bs the day it came out....


She has apologized since the revelations....

 

[DB Cooper]

Dude is going down with his ship. Sticking with his story all the way to the grave.

 

[tego calderon el abayarde]

So are all you Scottie Beam *** dudes going to admit you may have jumped the gun and homie preyed upon your desire to be outraged and offended? Or y'all are going down with the ship until he does an interview crying where he kinda admits he lied while blaming straight black men and toxic masculinity?

 

[hand2handking]

Y'all dudes must want a cookie or something
