Black Actor Jussie Smollett Fakes Hate Crime & His Lawyer Cries

[IMJ]

Jussie faked a hate crime against himself trying to stir up the race-baiters in an attempt to, presumably make himself a parriah and increase his actor-appeal.

He hired to Jamaican black guys to beat him up and scream "this is Maga country!" at him, but word got out it was a hoax and the three fools were apparently caught on camera rehearsing their staged hate-crime in Chicago.
This was in 2019 - the time period where millenials and gen Y through whom race-baiting was ramping up in pop culture as a complaint-tactic.

During the trial, Jussie's lawyer accused the judge of "lunging at her" and asked for a mistrial. She left the courtroom in tears with the Judge denied her ridiculous request, and went outside to hang out with her mother who was there.

Please continue to eat yourselves alive, disingenuous leftist pigs.

Not exactly current...

EDIT: Appears I was mistaken.
I thought this all played out already. My bad.

SUPPOSEDLY...there is video the guys Smollett allegedly paid to fake the crime practicing how they would do it. Does anyone know more about that off hand?

[Leo656]

My favorite part of the story so far is where Jussie and the guy who later "attacked" him were doing coke and went to go jack off in a bathhouse together. Fun! Seems like they were pretty good pals, I can't imagine what would've made him try and jump Jussie like that.

Seriously, there better be some repercussions for this clown. And shame on him for his whole "I'm black and I'm gay and so everyone is out to get me" defense. "Allegedly", he staged the whole thing because his studio bosses didn't take his claims of being "under threat" seriously, so this was his way of "proving" to them that he really was in some kind of danger as a black, gay (rich) man. And thus he outsmarted himself.

What a complete f*cking asshole. And if I were a gay or black man who'd actually been attacked for such reasons, I'd REALLY hate this guy for his little game screwing sh*t up for everyone else. There actually are people out there who are victims of violence and sh*t like this does them no favors.

Fun Fact Jussie Smollett's Sister is Jurnee Smollett who played fake black canary in Birds of Prey. Can we put her on trial for that while we are at it

[Andrew NDB]

More than anything I've just wanted to see an honest investigation of all of this roll out transparently. Hopefully we get that. This time.

In fairness to the lawyer... What the hell was she actually going to do with this case? The guy staged a crime in some bizarre attempt to improve his status, the guy is clearly guilty and hardly sympathetic, how is anyone going to be able to build a defense here?

[Zulithe]

This verdict is going to be so sweet. I'm ready to indulge.

[The Deadman]

I have a feeling he'll get off with community service, if anything else.

Absolutely, stunningly beautiful woman.

That seems to be the prevailing theory from the pros doing the coverage. But it seems that some kind of guilty verdict is a foregone conclusion. Given the profile of the case as well as this guy's intent combined with the timing of the whole thing against the national zeitgeist, I hope he gets whatever max there is to be honest.

She was probably going for emotionally manipulating the judge as he is in control of the mistrials.

"In fairness to the lawyer"??!?! Dude, how is that even a sentence you would construct in lieu of what she pulled and her conduct in the aftermath? "In fairness to the lawyer"?? What f'n world do you live in?

Guess what? Lawyers aren't supposed to "get their clients out of trouble" when they've caused trouble. Instead they are supposed to represent them and facilitate the best possible outcome for the client and to make sure they aren't steamrolled.

In this case, the lawyer should not have woven any bull $#!( for Smollett. The lawyer instead should have helped him through a guilty plea given the situation and made it as manageable as possible for him.

Holy $#!(, "In fairness to the lawyer". GTFOH.

Even worse, she was trying to gaslight the judge in the hopes her story would cause public outcry and anger and he would acquiesce. But he didn't.

And undoubtedly making his contract renewal on Empire much easier as a public victim. You mean you didn't renew the contract of the guy lynched by MAGA hat wearing thugs?!? That means your whole studio is racist.

Pretty sickening the way being a victim is used as currency these days. And it's one thing to pretend to be a victim of a thing... quite another when you're actively staging some elaborate hate crime for self gain amidst the leftist media sniffing around for any possible racially motivated crimes it can get.

Exactly. It's a deeper, more manipulative crime than a simple "hoax". And his goof @$$ lawyer should face a career-related penalty for her nonsense in court too.

Uhm... OK? It was a joke in the first place but whatever...

Read the room then before "jokes". You are from Sweden, I would've thought you'd be more sensitive to that.

For some reason (probably living through Tonya Hardin and OJ in '94), I expect celebrity trials to take WAY longer than many actually do.

I might take my ZL1 up and down Lake Shore Drive tonight to watch the city burn from the beautiful Michigan-eastside views. The winding nature of Lake Shore Drive makes for some fun driving as well as being one of the most beautiful driving views in the country. It should be a perfect angle to see the little scum bags running around like madmen trying to escape whatever carnage they caused by running into the Park system that separates the lake from the city. Buckingham Fountain should look amazing amidst the flames.

I have a fast car so if I want to take a more circuitous route, I can quickly blitz through the South Side on my tour. I've been through there a million times anyway throughout my life - another series of fun drives.

But in all seriousness, now I hope they sentence that rat bastard via harshly.

You and I remember fun very differently.
