Jussie Smollett is reportedly suicidal after his character, Jamal Lyon, was axed from Fox TV’s soap opera Empire next season. Variety.com reports Empire was renewed at the final hour on Tuesday. 20th Century Fox executives negotiated a contract extension for Smollett, but decided not to bring his character back next season.
“By mutual agreement, the studio has negotiated an extension to Jussie Smollett’s option for season six, but at this time there are no plans for the character of Jamal to return to ‘Empire,'” Fox Entertainment and 20th Century Fox Television said in a statement obtained by Variety.
According to a source close to the family, Smollett, 36, is “devastated” and suicidal over the apparent end of his acting career. The part-time singer also lost a coveted lead role in the Tony Award-winning Broadway play Take Me Out, about a baseball player who comes out of the closet at the peak of his career.
Smollett’s older brother JoJo Smollett told BET Network his younger sibling has trouble sleeping and “violently” awakens from “night terrors”.
Publicly, his reps are saying Smollett “appreciates” the studio extending his contract and leaving the door open for him to return, but privately sources are saying the door has closed and the extension was suggested by the actor’s good friend and father figure Lee Daniels, who co-created Empire as a vehicle to increase tolerance and acceptance of the LGBT community.
A spokesperson for Smollett said in a statement:
“We’ve been told that Jussie will not be on ‘Empire’ in the beginning of the season but he appreciates they have extended his contract to keep Jamal’s future open. Most importantly he is grateful to Fox and ‘Empire’ leadership, cast, crew and fans for their unwavering support.”
Smollett’s troubles began when he told police he was ambushed and attacked by two Trump supporters outside his Chicago condo in January. The actor, who is biracial and openly homosexual, said his attackers shouted racist and homophobic slurs at him.
Smollett was arrested in February and charged with making a false police report. He was later indicted on 16 felony counts by a Cook County grand jury, but those charges were dropped in March.
The city of Chicago filed a lawsuit against Smollett after he refused to pay $130,000 to cover the costs of investigating his lies.

Jussie, please take the L and go sit down. You tried it, it it failed but at least you are not in jail.
No sympathy or fawks given. ?????
Still won’t lay low after getting off on these charges, huh? You WON and it’s still not enough. At this point, he needs an intervention.
Let me guess, this is another hoax right? Welp, I’ll believe once he actually does it. Good ridence you attention sl*t bag.
He is distraught because he thought he was gonna use his star power gained from Empire to walk into other ventures. Once all this drama happened he is no longer sellable. I wanted to believe him but I’m just over it. Every time this story comes up I wish that I was in a tub of Calgon (Even though it gave me yeast infections) ?
Are they BOTH kissing with their eyes open? https://media3.giphy.com/media/E2gJ9kNjCgL6g/giphy.gif
THAT right there is the sign of crazy.
Somehow I knew this was coming. Welcome to the world of obscurity, the world where the blackballed entertainers dwell.

I love bathing, but you have to be careful with the products, I just stick to Dr. Teals, and natural oils. Oh, and I wish Jussie well!
It’s not that deep Jussie… Life goes on just learn from your mistakes and carry on.
So let me get this straight, he’s suicidal because his acting role didn’t favor him.
But he wasn’t distraught about having a noose tied around his neck, having tabasco bleach doused up in his eyes and having his face carved up? https://media2.giphy.com/media/jVrbknL95x8LsSH3ew/giphy.gif
Lee Daniel going to prolly make Jessie do some strange things to get rehired

They were never going to fire him… they’re going to keep him off the show for a few episodes and then, bring him back if ratings don’t pick up and make a big deal about his “return” to get people interested.
This satisfies the regulatory “time out” required in order for folk to find some new $hit to be mad about. The only problem I have with Jussie is that he’s apparently a pathological liar.
If he would just own up to his bull$hit and say, “I did it… it was dumb as f*ck looking back on it, but I didn’t expect it to get as big as it did. I’ve learned that all publicity isn’t good publicity and, I was enjoying this fame thing just a little too much. I became intoxicated with the limelight and wanted to extend it anyway I could. I simply never thought through this stupid plot. The fact that ACTUAL victims of hate crimes may not be believed because of this decision was never even a thought. Once this thing got bigger than just me, my friends and, a few paparazzi, I didn’t know how to take it back. I COULDN’T take it back because it was too late.
I apologize.
I apologize to those who stood up for me because I lied to them. Those who stood up for me because their natural instinct is to believe the victim first. I apologize to my coworkers who were forced to defend me. I apologize to my family. I let you all down and I think about it every single day.
I’m sorry. I can not say those words enough, but I’ll continue to say them until each and every one of you have found it in your hearts to believe, and forgive, me.

Jussie has options. No, he won’t be getting anymore checks like the ones from Empire. But he will get those syndication checks and that will more than keep him afloat.
In the meantime, he can get a role on Tyler Perry’s Have and Have Nots. He can replace Ginuwine in TGT with Tyrese and Tank and call it TJT. He can pose for Playgirl magazine. He can become a Psychic Friend like Dionne Warwick. He can do reality tv shows like Big Brother and Survivor. He can become a co-host on Sister Circle. There’s a lot he can do.

I am sure he wasn’t ending his life over just EMPIRE. Depression is real and I know its alot of other things as well but is anyone trying to help?/ I am sure everyone is looking the other way and will resurface if god forbid something happens to him. What a mess being black balled sucks !

His fake lying as is perfect for the industry. It’s just his false identify has been revealed.
LOL why wouldn’t anyone believe him for finally admitting it? That’s why everyone is so pissed at him…
It’s only wrong if the other man doesn’t want him there.
Yep the LGBTQ community is loyal and powerful. They did not take his BS lightly and showed it. Plus their community don’t seem to forgive. It’s a wrap for Smollett.
I just read that. That’s too much, imho. He’s facing plenty of repercussions so being blacklisted is beating a dead horse. If he just came out with the truth, I believe ppl would have some compassion for him.
Lol, at Sandra. Often times her piture selections have a underlying story themselves, and subliminal messages.
YES! Preach!
You took the starship enterprise to warp speed? And still didn’t see no tongue? LMAO
He brought the show a lot of bad press so what did he expect?
?
This picture makes me believe I should a sexual predator. I can’t imagine the things he has mad aspiring actors do on his casting couch.? ?
What an idiotic statement. I still can’t believe he said that.
Well he put a LOT of folks in an AWKWARD position! Got Kim FOXX trying to hold on, Nigerians Brothers now have to sue him to save face, his cast mates jobs were on the line, LGBT community at a lost as to what to do with the Lie and present and future hate crime victims will be looked at side eye!
At 36 years old he should know better! If not ….there are some serious mental issues that need to be addressed! Suicide is no laughing matter but he brought ALL OF THIS on himself! As a Chicagoan I don’t want to see his azz on the city streets! Stay out of Chicago! We’ve got more crap ? than we can handle w/o folks lying about crimes….smdh
Only a true queen would have ‘heard’ such a story.
A ploy. I dont believe it one damn bit.
Beautiful girl (Juicy)
That’s why it’ll never work (said the folks over at the show)
You’ll have me suicidal, suicidal (Juicy)

They only see you do your dirt (the folks over at the show)
They’ll have you suicidal, suicidal (Juicy agane)
Only someone deep in the closet would care about two men in the same bed.
Because he’s a liar. LOL
His objective was to gain sympathy from his ordeal and hopefully Empire would increase his salary. But his shidt bykefired. Not only didn’t he get a increase he is officially unemployed. Stewpid
After seeing the extremes he’ll go through, for all we know his family and him are putting out this suicidal act to gain sympathy and get back on Empire or get roles thrown his way. He’ll forever be the living Boy Who Cried Wolf to me.
To think his jurnee smullet his sis smh

Jussie Lyings its over. Just go away for like a year and come byke.

And this ain’t going to help his “music career” either, so he just messed himself over multiple ways.
I would’ve had to leave the funeral or put in the box with them from laughing to death.
Being that “sensitivity” is at an all time high he thought how could it go wrong. Somehow It’s regular peoples fault.

Whatever! This blog won’t be content until this boy is face down in the gutter somewhere. I see the hate is real — and he obviously gets clicks and comments. The only injury he did is to himself and his career, no one else was harmed, so I dont understand the relentless attacks.
All of this hate is just going to make some of us root even more for his redemption and his comeback — and we werent even thinking about him before this mess.
That story came straight from Patti Labelle’s mouth.

This. I went looking for my damn French Onion soup back in the winter and went to THREE diff. ones and they is gone. Oh well. Had to go online and find the cheat recp. and made it at the crib. Still not the damn same.
Ok, I see your empathy, and I’m being serious here, why do you believe he only hurt himself? I mean, again, I’m being civil, this dude made up a fantastical tale of gay bashing, lied to cops, to the public, lied to everyone in America and STILL will not own up to what we know is the truth, he made up getting beat up by racist/ homophobes to further his career. I seriously would like to know how you can validate a known liar and mild sociopath. I mean, I don’t want the guy to kill himself, but it’ll be a cold day in Hell before I sit there and champion on a liar that WON’T ADMIT HE LIED. If he did that, came clean and asked for people to let him be then yea, I’d be a little more apt to let it go. But a liar that won’t own up to known lies is not a cool person to me. Have you ever had someone lie to your face (ex. “Uh, I was with Curtis last night”), YOU know they’re are lying to you, THEY know they are lying to you but they just won’t admit it. I have and it’s the most mind-boggling thing. Anyways, that’s it.
The only injury he did is to himself and his career, no one else was harmed, so I dont understand the relentless attacks.
^^^^^^^^
he injured anyone and I do mean anyone….who is a FUTURE REAL victim of a HATE CRIME. A gay person. A brown person. A Muslim person. A purple haired person. Im sorry you and others do not see the harm and “injury” his lying, wolf crine, silly ass did.
Thank you.
I’m not surprised… he’s a very weak minded individual. Hopefully he seeks help…
Sandra you sure know how to dig up dramatic photos ??? that fit your stories. Thats not that easy. Im not into light skin pretty dudes but he can cry on my Shoulders or lap ?????? I prefer dark and ugly like Tamar new man ??????
The city of Chicago. Cook County. The resources used on this bullshit. I mean the list is LONG as to the “injury” he did.
Hey Yoni…….I am just speaking to you and hoping that everything is going good with you. I really have no more words for Jussie/Jessie. Since he is gonna be unemployed, he might as well be Jessie. He is regular folks now. I fell out with Applebee’s some years ago about some bad food and we got the nerve to have three!
????? I’ll take him going away for life for $200 Alex
Jump??
Lol…j/k
I read that he was previously depressed. I believe he posted an IG or TW or something about depression. But he shouldn’t blame it on losing Empire. If he had come clean and admitted it was a hoax and paid the city, this would be over with – but he still would have (maybe?) lost his job.
It wasn’t Lee’s decision it was the studio’s decision.
I think I am feeling kinda Jussie today. I took the day off. I’m bored and you’ve heard the saying, “an idle mind is a playground for the devil.”
A few moments ago, I used my investigative skills to track down an ex I broke up with back in 1998. The last time we spoke was 2009. During that call, he expressed how badly I hurt him and that it took him 3 years to get over me. Then he told me he never wanted to hear from me and hung up.
Today, for some odd reason, I wanted to hear his voice. So, I did my thing and got his work address and phone number. When his receptionist answered, I asked for him by first and last name. I could hear it in her voice, that she wanted to know exactly who I was. After all, he’s the big boss and putting the wrong call through, could mean trouble for her.
Anyway, when he answered the phone, he said, this ____ ____, twice. I punked out and hung up! Am I on my way to becoming a stalker?
LMAO!
BS
Well said. And $130,000 taxpayer dollars were spent on the investigation into this fake attack. That’s real money. So this wasn’t some innocent, totally “victimless” crime.
Why are folks obsessed with him admitting he lied? There is a reason we can plead the 5th legally and just generally. If the law wanna catch him they have to put in the work and the law chose not to. Admitting he lied to appease random folks is just dumb and opens him up liability of all kinds (including the litigation he is currently fighting).
Ryan Lochte could say he lied because it didn’t happen in the US. He did what he did we know and he knows we know; going on an I am Sorry 2004 tour helps no one and just makes folks seem like a cheated on girlfriend. You don’t need that man to admit he did wrong when you go the proof in your face.. it won’t make him sorry
Dark and ugly normally got a lil freak in em. They like a coin good on both ends. Especially the thick ones , that solid muscular thick. Whew Chile
Everybody gets in their feelings over an ex, but you have to remember why that person is an ex in the first place.
True, but if you lost that ex do to your own stupidity, it makes it harder.
Not quite Stalker, but Stalker-ISH. But most importantly are available for out sourcing? I have a few ex’s i’d like to call and hang up on
Okay. Where’s my Ariana Grande song… ? thank you… next! ?
**off topic** Remy turned herself in for punching that lil girl
Carrington, if he would have said EXACTLY this when all the bricks fell from jump maybe, just maybe, he would have a smidge more sympathy. But since he’s taken this dang long even if he said it now, he’s getting side-eyed out the door. But yea, I like what you wrote he should have said, owning up and “falling on the sword” would have at least done…SOMETHING, lol. Well played, good sir.
LMAO! Omg! I’m crying! ? Outsourcing?!!
What do you mean ratings went down when he “returned” to Empire.. he hasn’t left until now (these final 2 episodes of the season). Empire been where they are at (low) for quite a while, which is why it’s renewal took so long
I get your point. However, his actions indirectly affects current and/or future victims. He set a few marginal groups up for scrutiny.
Chile quit bytching the whole show will be gone shortly…settle down!
Please tell your sister that I’m missing the hell outta Underground though *real tears*

Imma ask you bc I know for sure you are not a troll lol
Why do folks want him to admit he lied? The 5th amendment is there for a reason. Admitting what we already know will only damage him much more severely. Folks wanted him to admit he lied in the middle of a criminal trial.. FOH “these statements can and will be used against you”. He’s still in the middle of it depending on this investigation into Kim Foxx.. why are people mad he won’t own up to it when he has a right to a defense and to be proven guilty?
Ryan Lochte could say he lied because it wasn’t a US matter. What do folks get out of that? It’s like when a person cheats and we have all the proof but still need for them to admit it.. Um why?? That doesn’t make you feel better and it doesn’t make them sorry
yep smh
you think he’s a sociopaths? That’s heavy
I always figured he was busting it wide open for his roles but after seeing that pic above I am convinced that man has done some strange thangs for some change. disgusting!! Not because he is gay but that pic of him kissing that queen makes my stomach turn. Maybe Jesse can be some rich man’s boy toy until he can get his career together.
i don’t want Remy to be taken away from the Golden Child. That will break my heart
Because Missy, and call me crazy here, it’s just the right thing to do. When you lie, get caught, as a human being on this planet Earth with the rest of us, we would like you to own up to it. It’s just…right, ya know?
besides there is always the UMC. They will hire anyone.
She needs to grow up. I heard she’s been wearing an ankle monitor tho.
I miss Underground too!!! That was my show Im so mad that it didn’t get picked up by another network…
I’m kinda on the side of “WELL what did you do that she had to punch you”….(i know this is a weird post to victim blame on buttttt…so sorry)
I told yall…and I keep telling yall…Remy aint reformed my hairdresser who was born and raised in Brooklyn was telling me that Pap had a WHOLE ENTIRE girlfriend while Remy was in prison (which isn’t a surprise, I think REMY knew), but the little tea is…allegedly…her and Pap fell out because he went and moved in or got an apartment with old girl, which in turn made Remy lose the stabilized apartment that had been passed down to her, which is a BIG deal evidently in NY because basically it keeps the rent the same and not market value. Basically stabilized rent is if you are the leaseholder and say you been paying 200.00 since 1981 and you want to move, but you had your child listed on the lease, …….. if your child is an adult, they can take over the lease and pay 200.00 a month in 2019 even if the market value for the apartment is now 4000.00 a month. I think they have gotten rid of most stabilized apartments. The Gemini had to give up his when he moved here. His mama left NY like in 2012 to come back to NC but she left the apartment to him. So he was paying next to nothing for an apartment that was in the thousands.
Whatttt?
I’m so sick of this stunt queen. he brought all this shyt on himself.
Remy should have gotten someone else to punch her, just kidding, NOT!
omg you just made me touch myself lol thick and solid muscular thick?????
JoJo Smollett told BET Network his younger sibling has trouble sleeping and “violently” awakens from “night terrors”
So now he setting up fake attacks in his dreams
Check rhymeswithsnitch
LMAO!!!!
Yes i saw smh
So if he isn’t returning, what’s the reason for the extension? Sorry guys I’m lost ?
OMG I can not!
She aint have to hit the lil girl, she hit her bcuz she aint help her step daughter.. i think the boyfriend beat her up & britani was there & aint do nothin so Remy punched her in the face for not helping ? Remy like 20yrs older than that girl
Remy was mad she aint jump in when her step daughter was gettin hit by her boyfriend ? so she punched her in the face
LMAO, you aint right, Ray!
I don’t feel sorry for Jussie at all,he threw away his career and reputation away for a quick 15 minutes of attention in the spotlight.
The extension gives him hope that the door is open. His friends say he is suicidal, can’t sleep, etc.
Stunt queen!!???? hilarious!!
He need to get off the cross and own up to it. He can’t butterfly his way out of it with the LGBHTQ. I feel sorry for the guy.
Can u post Remy turning herself in… im sure ppl got alot to talk about ?
Okay. Did not know the back story!
Grown ass woman fighting in the streets like a teenager. smh.
They’re waiting the outcome of his further court proceedings. But he will remain on salary even though he is not currently filming any new episodes..
Lee calls him his son but where on world do fathers kiss their grown son in the mouth? These gay relationships are hard for us to understand.
LMAOOOO!!!!!
You’re in time out! LOL
No, I don’t. It racist and is based on the COMPLETELY ACCURATE premise that law enforcement is inherently disinclined to investigate and prosecute hate crimes. So your objections should be directed towards law enforcement, who want YOU to believe that it is justifiable for THEM to believe that all hate crimes are a hoax because some lightskinned, gay dude told a lie that one time.
https://media3.giphy.com/media/4OowbIsmYHbpu/giphy.gif
There’s nothing like he isn’t really gay if he/ someone has ever slept with same sex. If he gives his services for roles, then he’s a gay hooker.
Right, but right is wrong and wrong is right. They dance to it, sick.
Now THIS I believe. She does not want to be with a senior citizen. So the younger better step up to the plate.
Even still live goes on
His people need to reassure him that it’s not
Ok only a true queen would know or care what Patti Labelle has to say.
Like what did do think would happen all because he doesn’t like trump he lost his meal ticket ion don’t feel sorry for bust down jussiana
Yes. Chicago, dude expressed and told you.. he never wanted to hear from you. Plain & Simple. Leave him alone & move on, because clearly he have…Ok Heartbreaker LOLOL!!!
WHAT?! So who punched the boyfriend?
It’s pretty wack for him to play the ‘suicidal’ card because he got busted and lost his meal ticket. I’m saving my sympathy for real people with real problems. This piece of crap can kick rocks.
Jesse is one good looking man. Even when hes fake crying he is still fine! Seems to have no problem whoring himself out either so he shud just find a rich man or woman to sponsor him. Like how prison bae Jeremy meeks did
Most people who want him to admit to lying DON’T want his stupid a$$ to go to jail.
For me, it’s about the insult and the indignation with which HE has applied to the unmitigated gall he has to be pissed that people DONT believe his lies.
When you lie and never own up to it, you’re simply a liar to everyone around you and you will NEVER overcome that, in my head. Every time I see him I’ll see the BIG A$$ed liar who got mad at ME because I didn’t believe him.
I don’t know if you have kids, but if you do, here’s the same concept, “I’d rather you tell me the truth than to look me in my face and lie. I don’t respect you for being a liar.” That’s Jussie for me. Don’t trust you. Don’t like you. Won’t even entertain liking you again until I can. And I can’t if I don’t trust you.
Jussie is in a space where his credibility, likability and fans trusting him are vital to his survival in the entertainment industry.
People don’t like liars. Especially liars who tell more lies to fix the old lies. If the people don’t like you, it’s a wrap. That’s why he needs to atone for his BS.
As far as Ryan goes… ???? we don’t care about Ryan. The Ryan argument is akin to the “Hillary’s emails!” Rebuttal.
His narcissism (which is pathological) won’t allow him to come clean and admit his lies. You’re right: he is pissed that people don’t believe his lies.
Gay Porn
Yaaaaaay go to hell where you belong
Hes NOT going to commit suicide. I wish he stay off the victim train and stop using real victim circumstances to suit his situation! BOY BYE!
I was hooked hunny
Except, he gets a per episode salary based on the number of episodes he actually appears in. If he appears in zero episodes, that would mean NO remuneration unless and until they actually write him back in.
He may have a pay or play clause which could be impacting their decision. Again, I’d like to know the details of his contract because the only castmember that I can see having a “guaranteed payment” clause that applies irrespective of actual episide appearances would be Taraj because of her elevated star status. Everyone else on that show is replaceable and wouldn’t have the clout to negotiate that kind of clause.
That man is NOT suicidal . His ego is too damn big for him to ever entertain the notion of hurting himself. He is just in shock because he was expecting a “Christine Blasey Ford-outcome” (complete with a huge payout) and he got quite the opposite. Hard for him to accept the result.
Tea girl
“NO remuneration unless and until they actually write him back in.”
LIES!
The studio has negotiated an extension to Jussie’s option. NO ACTOR would sign ANY contract for a “mutual option” to come back for another season(possibly last) unless it’s a compensation involved. It would be slavery, unethical and not in Sag/Aftra rules. His agent and manager wouldn’t even allow him to be that stupid to sign it.
Yes ma’am
??
Yeah… and right before he told me to get lost, I made him call my name, like he used to. He said it twice. If he had done it a third time, he would have been under my spell again! LMAO
That’s better! ?
Exactly!! Lol
Yes taking photos of it & all… they said she charged with a misdermeaner
Reap and sow with actions there are consequences
I’m sure his dumbas s started feeling suicidal as soon as he was caught in his lie!
Calm down, hun. Why are you getting so hysterical?
Of course there is compensation. It is PER EPISODE compensation and it is NOT calculated on the basis of the total number of episodes filmed, but the number HE APPEARS IN. Unless his contract includes a guaranteed minimum, there is NOTHING obligating the network to pay him for episodes in which he does NOT appear.
By no means is it “SLAVERY” unless they EXCLUSIVELY sign him, prevent him from working anywhere else, and THEN don’t use him at all.
The Walking Dead is notorious for keeping production costs down by limiting the number of episode appearances of all but the most indispensible characters. Because Steven Ogg, Negan’s right hand man, was not in EVERY episode, he was able to appear in Season 7 of TWD and in Westworld, SIMULTANEOUSLY. He was only paid for TWD when he ACTUALLY APPEARED on TWD.The only thing stopping Jussie from doing the same thing is the fact that he is a lying sack of sh!t that no one else will hire.
I haven’t seen Jussie’s contract and neither have you. But there is NO WAY the network is going pay him for a full season if he makes NO on-camera appearances.
He has already cost the network millions in both ad revenue and reputation. Advertisers have to be compensated with “make-goods” for those abysmal final numbers and Jussie is seen as the cause of tbose losses. Why would Fox now pay himfor a NEW season if he isn’t appearing on tbe show? Not when they could have easily simply refused to exercise their renewal option OR they could have invoked the morals clause in his contract and gotten rid of him based on that.
As for what his agents would “allow” him to sign? Are you kidding? He is a PARIAH!! His agent is THRILLED that he is being offered ANYTHING. Both Jussie AND Lee probably had to give some world class BlowJ@bs to a room full of white Fox execs because he’s about as marketable as Cosby right now.
My statement stands.
He is too self absorbed and attention seeking with his self to commit suicide, Still not admitting his creating this, smh…
I’m absolutely certain that this attention whore will fake slit his wrist to get that role back. Trust me, this fool ain’t done being the victim. Looked like he gave his “daddy” all that azz for nothing
Trust me, he’ll give it a go with a butter knife and some ketchup for effects. I’m sure he’ll say a trump supporter told him to do it!
Are we just going to ignore that creepy kiss?
Jussie should have admitted he lied…taken a plea deal…blamed mental illness and begged for forgiveness. He’d still have a job. He was cocky and took that bs deal where he doesn’t admit guilt. He’s put that Kim woman’s job in jeopardy and pissed off the Chicago police…and they’re suing him. Was it worth it?
True but lying and then coming clean in your personal life is completely different than lying and coming clean when criminal charges are pending. Most folks plead not guilty and then you have to roll with it.
Jussie got mad you YOU? Pacifically? Why are you taking it so personally? My kids lying to me is totally different than some random celebrity lying to keep himself out of jail (as they all and most folks who run afoul of the law do).
If you read all of that and that’s what you got from it – toMAHto.
I explained why being a celebrity requires you to be liked in order to keep your fan base. *shrug*
They were still letting him slide until he got cocky and said he had been vindicated!! That’s when all hell broke loose he should have kept his mouth closed things was cool even with the deal until he made that comment and then had his friends and family posting on social media that he never lied and he had been vindicated as of to say the whole entire Chicago pd conspired against him.
He gone pull a Fantasia and go in the closet and take a bunch of aspirins
Baby kissed lil Wayne in the mouth maybe it’s a hollywierd thing ….who am I kidding it’s a gay thing. Maybe he liked him to call him daddy
???
Very stalkerish he may end up getting a restraining order on you
I haven’t spoken to him since 2009, and today I called from a throwaway cell phone. I did not say anything. He has no idea who called him. It’ll probably be another 10 years before I stalk him again. LOL
I think I contacted him, because he took his Facebook account offline. He does that when he’s upset. Before there was Facebook, when he was upset, he would remove the greeting from his pager or cellphone. I guess I know him too well. ?
But… you’re right. I’ll quit while I’m ahead!
Oh he is definitely gonna off himself
Kissing father figure in the mouth = Jussie to Lee & Lil Wayne to Birdman.
Gross, gross, gross.
Next Jussuspect is going to sue Lee Daniels for sexual harassment.
Arrogance and ignorance are a dangerous combination.
Good he was boring anyway. However, they better find a way to save Andre!!!!
Lee Daniel’s going hard to keep Jussie around, so Jussie doesn’t start spilling Lee Daniel’s tea. I’m sure Lee probably made passes at Jussie, and I doubt Lee only see’s Jussie as his son.
Omigawd that second pic of Jussie with his “come hither” look just screams gay porn! Let me find out Jussie been doing something strange for a lil bit of change.
Hey Lady! Things are going well. Jussie is off my radar. Again, I only go with the flow/comment on it here. I ain’t gone lie, I kinda miss Applebee’s Happy Hour. (bone-in)wings, fries and strawberry kiwi lemonade was my sh!t! I haven’t been in forever!
I was JUST saying I miss their Happy Hour. Our TGIF’ridays are gone too. O’an our Steak & Shakes.
You can tell that by the picture up top with Jussie and Lee Daniels kissing… UGH…
RIGHT!!!! & I guess since Jussie is gone, the new son will take his place.
He’s gonna cut himself with a butter knife~
Is he really suicidal? Because y’all know Jussie be lying!! lol
Another desperate cry for attention.
Cut
You are wrong, wrong, wrong! rofl
Cut???
After giving it up to Lee Daniels?
Strawberry kiwi lemonade does sound good. Maybe I will try that. I don’t suppose they could screw that up and make me sick. I may do the lemonade BUT NO FOOD!
LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!
Him talking about it publicly does not bode well for him. If he gets suicided who will know the difference. This person here needs to go away to some high mountain with monks and reflect on his wicked life.
Jussie just needs to do “save the world” charity work, indie small films or plays, perform at every Pride parade festival for 5 months. So he has all positive press. America loves 2nd chances. They dont like cry babies/whiners. When asked by press, always turn the conversation to what he is doing now. Always express gratitude. Fox will need him back on Empire. Andre needs a new heart, the youngest son is good eye candy, but no possibility of running Empire. So there now is a big hole in how to shape the storyline with variety.
Kingsley is a bood match due to daddy. However running out of people to kill off.
New son will die to give andre his replacement heart. He is half luscious dna blood.
Pornstar!
That will be good!!!
Literally a drama queen.
Why doesn’t he call auntie Michelle Obama to pull some strings for him, like she did with Kim Fox and the rest of the corrupt justice system. in Chicago.
your sooooo right right right
He doesn’t need to buy any rope.
Why don’t you simply leave Michelle’s name out of your mouth and speak about the child murderers of this country, the rapists, the movie theatre killers, the church bombers, the White guys who like eating black men for dinner, and all the women who accuse Black men of “making” them do sht after they whore them down. Give me a break child! Michelle was the only pure woman in the White House next to the spread model; and if she want’s to help someone, anyone! …who the hell are you to say different or to put her down when you can’t find one single thing she’s done immoral. You all are devils, strait up devils; any good that happens you want to destroy it or make it bad b/c that’s what your souls call for; HATE AND EVIL is right up your alley. This is exactly why your kids bully each other at school, they get all of there immoral behaviors from their parents; nothing has changed, you were sick-mental minded 60 years ago and you’re still sick.
Hahaha, Drama queen! Maybe he shuda thought about it before he committed the crimes!
Oh, please!!!!!
I agree with you Rhonda Marshall! U always have people like Joyce Bryant to always have to throw in the Obamas! Throw in your President that has told 10,000 lies since he has been in office! Well said Rhonda!
Why is it all you ignorant racist caucasian people always feel the need to bring the Obamas into everything.
You people cant face the fact that we as black people are educated and intelligent.
This woman Michelle Obama is more woman and was one of the most elegant and intelligent first ladies weve had.
Better than this tramp they have in the Whithouse now.
Chicago need to be focus on all the unsolved murders and kidnappings they have. Instead of going after some one because this racist a$$hole bigot lieing President wants to push it.
Where was the President when they were asking for assistance when Chicago had all those murders.
Allot of y’all need to sftu.
is that all you have to say is Oh please…lol
Because you know it’s the truth you miserable b!tch that’s what you are…
GTFO…sick of hearing you black people whine all the time. He committed a hoax and tried to blame it on whites. That’s racism HOMIE
Rahm Emanuel refused the POTUS TRump’s offers of help for the city of Chicago. However, Mad Max, Ho Kamela Harris and Moochele O’bummer along with the SA Foxx dropped all charges for this hate crime hoax. So put the blame where it lies, with the corruption that started this divisive behaviour and perpetuated it. In the last administration, of hate. O’bummer.
Sad really sad, this boy is mentally a mess for even
thinking to do such a thing, Smollet is the racist.
Sympathy ploy to divert attention from the lie he perpetuated.
how do I respond to an uneducated person who enjoys calling people names; so very childish; then people wonder why your kids are killing up students and killing themselves for being bullies; they get it from you, that’s who; acting just like your written words; just shameful and very ignorant; but you get by just like your president; not because of the content of your character but the color of your skin; that’s what makes this USA so sad; you all built a stolen country of controversy and hate just so you could have whatever you wanted; killings, hangings, murders, and now that you can’t do it to us anymore, you do it to yourselves; you would love to think it’s us but it’s not; the worst of this country is the ones who murder people by numbers; in groups, bash people for their culture; undermine people because they don’t speak like you? or do what you do; Please you’re all ignorant uneducated uncultured unsavory animals who think like you do, Animals who prey on weaker because you ate their food. Prey on disabled people and disgrace all women. Please, give me a break! All we’ve been try to teach you savages is how to be nice and polite; it’s just not working is it? NOT RESPONDING TO ANYMORE OF YOUR IGNORANCE!!!
Who voted to kill full term babies? Look up Margaret Sanger, Hillary Clinton and Senator Byrd the grand wizard of the KKK. The Democratic party. All of them. Don’t tell me you care about protecting children when the black genocide was voted on by the looney left. Smollet is a racist and he learned it from YOU and your kind of racism in your post above. Read your history. Listen to Allen West, Candace Owens. Learn something else in your mentally challenged mind. This boy cost the police force valuable time and resources, for his lies. Could have started a race war for his lies. His azz didn’t get smacked enough as a child or he would be a real man and stood up to truth.
Moochelle O’bummer’s aid broke the law by what they did to this boy.
Smollet needs Dr. Phil.
seeing that he is already suicidal,all he has to do is follow up,and save everybody a whole lot of anguish.
He shouldn’t beat himself up over it…
He was raised in a twisted ideological bubble where consequences for him and his ‘tribe’ were promised to not be the same as they are for others. He was taught to believe that he’s ‘special’ just because of the color of his skin.
Reality has finally hit him, and he has no tools to navigate in this raw, real world like the rest of us navigate every day.
Guess it’s time for him to learn, and grow a pair. LOL.
LOL! perfect!!
you know he has HIV
Hahahahah
I honestly wish I could say I cared. https://media2.giphy.com/media/spfi6nabVuq5y/giphy.gif
why do you have to say black people, I believe that we are Americans no matter what the color of my skin. this shows the true racists in our country.
maybe he can commit suicide and then blame it on a white privileged person. Better be careful J. S. people that cross dems seems to wind up with a much higher rate of suicide so you may get your wish
empire is already being written off the air, this is last season. he aint coming back and the show is over.
if he wants to commit suicide, can we have someone teach him how to do it, so it works, and there isn’t a bloody mess to clean up afterwards.
Looks like a bunch of white trolls came over from Breitbart dotcom.
