This Jussie Smollett Situation is REALLY Bizarre...

[Maximus Meridius]

That's excessive bruh but he did it to himself.

Since they doing this, can they charge that evil broad that got Emmit Til murdered? She still around.

 

[magic872]

There is nothing fair about the justice system. Never has been and never will be so it’s in everyone’s best interest to walk a straight line.

 

[calibeebee]

Why is he getting so many felony counts? Like what are the 16 charges, and why is it not just 1 charge of filing a false police report?

Remember this dumbass?


“Todd initially told investigators she was attempting to use a bank branch ATM on Wednesday night when a 6-foot-4 (1.93-meter) black man approached her from behind, put a knife blade to her throat and demanded money. She told police she handed the assailant $60 and walked away.

Todd, who is white, told investigators she suspected the man then noticed a John McCain sticker on her car. She said the man punched her in the back of the head, knocked her to the ground and scratched a backward letter 'B' into her face with a dull knife.”

How is that any different? Different state?

“Complexion for the protection........for the collection.”

Welp, people wanted him to finally be the example so there it is. Not sure why ya'll think the system gon pay it forward instead of just returning to routine right after this.

 

[servechilled81]

I never thought he should see jail time for this, a hefty fine sure
I also think they need to start fining those a-holes that call the cops on black people for just existing in a neighborhood

Paul Manafort only got 47 months for defrauding an entire nation though

 

[southernhospita]

It’s a hefty punishment though dude brought it on himself

I still don’t see him doing any time for it though

Nah dudes getting probation, fine and community service.

I’m sure his legal team has him in counseling and other ish this way they can show the court he has a “problem” and is being proactive in addressing it.

If jussie do time we gotta riot..

Low key he might be on to something

If jussie do time we gotta riot..

It'll be a one person riot

 

[sugafree]

Naw don’t care...if he get hard time.
Not my battle as a straight black man to fight for someone like Jesse.
Black feminists and LBGQT can fight for that clown those his people.

Yes there is a line to be drawn in the sand...

 

[BaltimoreLove]

This while playing the victim card is wickedly wack

 

[cedric ceballos]

He’s about to go from a sympathetic figure to someone who deserved whatever comes his way to back to being a sympathetic figure again.

He deserves to be clowned, ridiculed, fined and even give him a year in jail if you want to send a message. But all those felonies and extra stuff is overkill and inconsistent charging. He’ll likely cop to some plea. But ****s crazy.

 

[AIR J XIII]

I see some of you are DETERMINED to expect “fairness” from so called white people

Mountains of evidence that they will show favor to their own and not to you, and y’all refuse to accept it

 

[sharpshooter718]

It'll be a one person riot

Lol, I doubt it... just tell the mob, it's free chik Fila and itll be a zoo...

 

[AZwildcats]

If jussie do time we gotta riot..

Low key he might be on to something

Yeah, I’m not rioting for that guy

Jussie Smollett’s Job Offers Drying Up Following Felony Indictments

https://411mania.com/movies/jussie-smolletts-job-offers-drying-up-following-felony-indictments/

Jussie Smollett’s career is on thin ice following his indictment on felony charges for allegedly staging the attack on himself. TMZ reports that the Empire star’s job offers have vanished since he was arrested on the charges, and is now being treated like a pariah in Hollywood.

The site notes that Smollett received a ton of calls immediately after the attack for potential roles in films, on TV, in commercials and for interviews. However, after it began to come out that he allegedly staged the attack, those job offers have gone away and he’s gotten no calls for new work.

Smollett was indicted late last week on sixteen felony counts of filing a false police report. The actor has maintained his innocence. Empire removed the actor from the final two episodes of the season in order to avoid disruption on the film’s set.

They wrote that article as if he was getting a ton of offers to begin with

I remember after Season 1 ended, he prematurely announced that he was leaving the show thinking he was about to get a whole bunch of roles. Then he was back for Season 2

 

[1978S]

Dude ain't gonna be acting again. He needs to just go cop a farm in Idaho and take the L. Live out that quiet life.

I wouldn't fight for anyone using this climate for personal gain, **** that dude for pulling this ****.

He's already been written out of the last two episodes of Empire , but Jussie Smollett's arrest could have an affect on the fate of the entire show.

The US TV series, which is currently in its fifth season, has yet to be officially renewed by FOX for its sixth, and according to TMZ , staff are worried about their jobs.

Sources from the show have reportedly said that "anxiety is high" over the delay as several other shows on the same network have already been told of their continuation or cancellation.

TMZ also indicates that even if the show is renewed for a sixth season, Empire bosses have "expressed serious reservations" about Jussie returning to the show after his character Jamal was removed from the end of the series.

Production on the show believe that Jussie's arrest, for allegedly staging a racially motivated and homophobic attack on himself, will have a significant impact on the TV executives' decision.

Jussie has been charged with 16 felony counts of felony disorderly conduct for allegedly filing a false police report.

If found guilty he faces a maximum sentence of three years behind bars, a $25,000 fine and 60 years probation and is currently out on $100,000 bail.

The telly star, 36, is accused of hiring thugs to beat him up to stage a race hate crime allegedly in a desperate bid to boost his career.

It was revealed that TV bosses had taken the decision to remove Jussie's character Jamal from the final two episodes of the fifth season, which is currently airing.

Bosses at 20th Century Fox TV released a statement on Twitter , which said: "Please find a new statement from Empire Executive Producers Lee Daniels, Danny Strong, Brett Mahoney, Brian Grazer, Sanaa Hamri, Francie Calfo and Dennis Hammer:

“The events of the past few weeks have been incredibly emotional for all of us.

Why is he getting so many felony counts? Like what are the 16 charges, and why is it not just 1 charge of filing a false police report?

So they can stack the case against him, and instead of fighting it he’ll take a plea deal where they charge him on 1 charge and dismiss the other 15.
