Jussie Smollett is no longer a cast member of Fox TV’s hit musical Empire. The disgraced actor’s character, Jamal Lyon, was written out of the last 5 episodes of the 2nd half of season 5, which returns from the fall break in March.
Empire fans can say with certainty that the body in the casket in season 5’s dramatic finale is Jamal Lyon.
The troubled 36-year-old actor was arrested in Chicago on Wednesday and charged with faking a hate crime. He was released on $100,000 bond on Thursday.
Despite vowing to stand him, 20th Century Fox Television and Fox Entertainment issued a statement Friday, calling the allegations were “very disturbing.”
“The events of the past few weeks have been incredibly emotional for all of us. Jussie has been an important member of our EMPIRE family for the past five years and we care about him deeply. While these allegations are very disturbing, we are placing our trust in the legal system as the process plays out,” executive producers Lee Daniels, Danny Strong, Brett Mahoney, Brian Grazer, Sanaa Hamri, Francie Calfo and Dennis Hammer told Fox News.
“We are also aware of the effects of this process on the cast and crew members who work on our show and to avoid further disruption on set, we have decided to remove the role of ‘Jamal’ from the final two episodes of the season,” the statement continued.
The second half of Season 5 of “Empire” returns to Fox on March 13.
On Thursday, Chicago Police Department Superintendent Eddie Johnson claimed during a press conference that the 36-year-old actor hired brothers Olabinjo, 27, and Abimbola Osundairo, 25, to help him stage a fake hate attack to boost his career and salary.
Smollett and his legal team continue to maintain his innocence, insisting he was a victim of a hate crime.
Smollett still faces federal charges of sending a threatening letter to himself via the US Postal Service. The federal charge carries a guaranteed prison term.

He is 36 yrs old????
He wanted attention. He’s got the attention alright just not the kind of attention he wanted.
So he did all that lying and scheming for absolutely nothing. ?????
He is not fired. Sounds like he is just suspended until this all plays out.
I just want to know the reason. It’s obvi he doesn’t watch ID Channel, Dateline, 20/20, 48 Hours, etc….hell, even Criminal Minds or Law and Order cause he would have gone about this way differently if he had. This was the most amateurish shat I have ever seen in my life. I didn’t need anything more than, “20 below” in Chicago that night.
Congrats #JamalLyin you played yourself! I hope he wasn’t living above his means cause he’s gonna end up in McDonalds looking for a job.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
oh well….NEXT POST PLEASE…can we make it a non Jussie post please?? its friday…give us a break
Can you report of a situation where a person is “written out” of a sitcom and its only a suspension?
This is damage control 101…at this point they are cutting their losses as they should
I thought he showed up on set yesterday; so they fired him then? Like he must be mentally unstable… lol
I’m sick of Jussie Lying…his ass knew better than this…moving on!
Jussie you let Lee play your ass…
Welp if they weren’t killing him off before, things have changed quick
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8007e4d81797d15f039952001929bccd052457b9b2fdbbb3fd45ad3f1ca3a0bc.jpg
If he was fired, the show would say he was fired. They can’t fire him now because if he is found not gulty, he can sue the show and the network for wrongful termination.
Lls
Or that Subway near him!
They were already removing him. That casket scene was filmed longgggg before Jussie was charged. They had also reduced the# of episodes. Empire played both sides. It was true that Jussie did this because he was being written out. Empire lied that they were not ending his role for points from the Black lgbtq community. Now that he’s being charged, they are admitting it and saying it’s because of the charges for points from everyone else. How you gonna do something BECAUSE of something that hadn’t even happened yet? Empire… How sway??
I pray he gets the HELP he NEEDS.. it’s unfortunate what has Happened, He has someTHINGS in HIS life that HE needs to Straighten out. I, as well as Others have no RIGHT to judge him., although I DO not agree with the events that have transpired, I wish him WELL.
So OTON, What about the Coast Guard Officer C.Hasson who was PLOTTING ATTACKS of MASS VIOLENCE…Let’s TALK about THAT….thoughts, opinions..Do tell.
He did this to himself y’all.
Smh…? neway! The industry aka the devils playhouse is very crooked and shady the ones u see prasing and thankng God all the time for they success blah blah yet entertaining the devil isnt the same God we pray to!! Jussie isnt the only one …theres others …he just got caught and there was a reason ?, if it comes out or not! Im done?????. Next Casssseee.
Lol that can be takin many ways ?
Lmao
You don’t fire a contract employee…you terminate his contract
I’m ready for a new fake news story…
they’re reporting that on yesterday he went to the cast and apologized. However, after everything points to him he didn’t take ownership and is still sticking to his story. He needs to grow some balls and just admit he f@@ked up. Then, just go away, reflect and get some help. The show did right. Especially if he doesn’t want to “come correct” and still play games, they need to send him about his business. No one know’s what the effects from this ploy could be. He’s a detriment to everyone around him. So, they probably did the right thing.
???
Are you serious? These shows have high-powered lawyers and serious contracts…you think they let actors have leverage over them?. There is language most likely that says they can choose to drop them at their discretion.
In other news… Times UP CEO Resigns because her son is a NASTY PHUCK!
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6733481/Times-CEO-resigned-learning-life-coach-son-accused-sexual-misconduct.html
I’ve been waiting for Lee to speak out since Tyler already has.
The words “At Will” employee comes to mind.
I think it’s safe to assume Jussie is done in Hollyweird. I just hope his tomfoolery doesn’t have any type of ramifications for Jurnee. People will associate the Smollett name with this clownery and I just hope it doesn’t touch her too..
Has his boyfriend said anything?
like I feel like people are beginning to make up stories at this point smh
Good. He ruined his career , damaged race relations in this country and make a mockery of Black History month , for self-serving reason. He’s a MF disgrace
When it rains, it pours. AH WELL!

SCAPEGOAT.
Teach black kids the dangers of the gay agenda.
Teach black kids the dangers of white activist agendas.
Teach black kids to steer clear of white radical politics.
Jussie Smollet is a pawn.
Jussie Smollet is a scapegoat.
Exactly.
SPEAK!
Lee and Lee’s gay white boy hollywood network.
She might not be safe from the blast radius of vitriol Jussie (deservedly) gets. Would suck if her career is affected by it thanks to the selfishness of her own kin.
Truth.
https://media.giphy.com/media/7R2f2Mc91aAfK/giphy.gif
yeah, very interesting wording they used… Jamal was “removed”
….but, legally they didn’t say they fired Jussie (but the handwriting is on the wall)
Its misinformation everywhere plus I’m so tired of this story anyway like can we wrap this up and move on?
but they may be erring on the side of being ‘pc’ because Jussie got tricks, LOL! he may want them to fire him so he can then point to that as just one more example of ‘unfair treatment’ he’s been subjected to by his (former?) employer…. they may even still pay him for the season (like, take this money, and PLEASE go away, LOL)
Not sure why she did that. I wouldn’t give up a good paying job because of something my child does.
Can we move on from this nine story.
I called it…went from trying to get a higher salary…to having no salary at all…..
he playin’ through like a champ ain’t he???!!! i couldn’t show my face at work, i swear, LOL!
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Something about this doesn’t smell right. Why does he keep saying he’s innocent?? There’s something more to this story with them Nigerian brothers and we gone find out. I’m holding off all judgment. Because at this point most of the evidence was found at the Nigerian boys house and they were on camera as well. What did their phone records say. Any conversations with Smollett regarding incident or is it all hearsay?
If it weren’t for him writing the check would they really have any evidence on him at all? And the check said it was for training purposes. There’s more to this story I just know it. And what about what his manager heard? Did he really hear anything.
Also, how were the Chicago police able to capture the Nigerians? How did they know they were involved and for how long did they know all of this info?
This is better than watching Criminal Minds. Jussie you are playing out your own movie my boy.
I still don’t understand why people with money ruin it for themselves.
Now we know why Fox insisted he wasn’t going to be written out of the show. A writer told a publicist I know that she doesn’t even know who is in the casket on Empire. I suspect Jussie pulled this crazy stunt to make sure Jamal’s body wasn’t in the casket. He was wrong for what he did, but he should sue for emotional infliction of distress. We see reality TV show stars pulling crazy stunts to keep their jobs.
Jussie won’t wrap it up and tell the truth, LOL!
Post of the day. Thanks for the laugh!
can you imagine trying to work with him on the set? can you say AWKWARD.
Lol!
Lisa made the statement to clear up lies, because they were tying her to Kamala Harris and Jussie Smollett.
“I suspect Jussie pulled this crazy stunt to make sure Jamal’s body wasn’t in the casket.”
———
I’ve heard this before, but I don’t understand it. Isn’t this supposed to be the last season of Empire? So, what, he wanted to remain alive for a spin-off or something?? Empire hasn’t been good since season 1, who’s watching that?
That he did this for a raise doesn’t really make sense either. So you want to, uh, retroactively get a pay raise? I can maybe see he did it for attention and to further his “brand” (up his concert tickets) or something, but this whole thing is super bizarre.
I agree Lee played Jussie.
Lee Daniels is also playing black folks. He’s nothing but a figure head to let white hollyweird put out a negative portrayal of blacks…….. Executive producers Lee Daniels, Danny Strong, Brett Mahoney, Brian Grazer, Sanaa Hamri, Francie Calfo and Dennis Hammer told Fox News.
He needs to be replaced with a hot distant relative that just got out of jail or something interesting. Jamal was a snooze anyway. Bye Jussie. You are not gangsta.
Yeah, he got some balls
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f67bff333ed563733f81e0db9660a3aa80fe140673a1716e282a3321b90570f5.gif
They are definitely going to make an example out of his ass. He better start telling the truth and taking whatever deal he can get to lessen his time, he for sure is going to be behind some bars.
They should just hire a new jamal
i think he got some bats (in the belfry), smh
I wonder what he thinks of his salary now?
Yes…too young for a mid life crisis ??
?????? Thank you for voicing everything I’ve been screaming since day uno hun. Nobody wants to talk about Domestic terrorist Hasson because it will mess with the Republican Agenda.
Welp, I’m getting off this damn train. Mussy jussie can go on without us! I wanna talk about the domestic terrorist who was arrested with an arsenal of guns, a bag filled with drugs, and a list of Democrats and news people he wanted to kill. AND he’s a Coast Guard Lieutenant.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e14edc1f76a028cd84c965c931622548e0de83e4bdaaa189cd646d3a95d4616c.png
The epitome of a sucker move…
@realsandrarose:disqus that’s so nice of you to try to give him an out. Lol
Robert Kraft owner of the Patriots “Person of Interest” in prostitution sting…….
we are placing our trust in the legal system as the process plays out
_____________
See fans, they don’t believe him either.
yep…that Lawyer talk for “we are awaiting a plea”
More than he person of interest — looks like he just got charged.
Ewww isn’t he like 80? Still tryna mess with hoes!
wow
Yep solicitation. *giggles*
Well Jussie, You wanted a raise, and they gave you one. Raise your azz up outta here….
3 years is a cinch. It’s not like it’s 10 years.
Can he still get it up.
I wish I had seen this. I just posted this a few minutes ago. I find it strange that the Jussie Smollett story has people so gripped that this terrorist story is like barely a blip. This man was planning to do REAL damage. And not just to himself like silly Jussie.
You did 3 years?…..for what?
Tbh it doesn’t even matter because this show is almost over anyway
I WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE TO SAY THIS SEEMS LIKE A LIE. however, what if he is telling the truth. I see a lot of racist who said nothing when the story came out now saying “jussie should be hanged and I supported him”. no they didnt support him they are now just using this to bash not a gay man but a black man. I still think he did it but since the police are investigating why not let the investigation run its course.
I kinda hope he didnt do it so he can sue everyone.
on a lighter note. if he paid those brothers what got him was their cheapness. instead of going to a real store they went to a little corner store with a clear camera. they was trying to save money and time. if he did it jussie or his mom/dad shouldve planned out their deception better. lol. I hope he doesnt get any jail time because honestly you could say he was bringing light to an issue.
Prolly needs a fistful of viagra lol
I assumed it was staged by him and a producer for press. now they are saying pay dispute.
Smallet just needs to confess and issue an apology and let the chips fall where they may, thats his only out. his defiant attitude making matters worss. I know he line,Fox exec know he line..ChicagoPD know he line,his own attorneys know he line. as time passes his own attorneys gon drop his unemployed as
they are waiting,, just in case, LOL! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/56d1cbe3e96ce6509e10adc2e577dfe5a826214993c05d4455f85f7eef6c498d.png
Yep. Paying with a check… sending texts back and forth… using Uber to go to the location…buying rope & hats in a store with a camera at the cash register looking right at you… using your cellphone that can ping off the nearest tower to show where you were… That’s ALL stuff that can be easily tracked down.
Clearly these dudes aren’t all that smart.
lol
We can’t trust the legal system.
pahhhhh. a lot of people blame him for a lot of things. he shouldve been more careful. all of that football cheating and he thought no one was ever going to get revenge.
and the press has to drag him like they drag the players.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4c9544e84fb68edca9e39629af84423575ed3df9115942cefe0763bf2599c9c8.gif
Hmm, i wonder what could have happened to make them write him off before this.
When he has an orgasm what comes out first dust or maggots.
Man. They looking for Robert Kraft
2019 is Wild!
Dusty ass maggots
He cute, Tyler Perry will have him employed by next month ? after he collect a few coins on the talk show circuit.
ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Greed!
The accuracy ???
If I were Jussie, I wouldn’t even show up for work. I’d let them figure it out. Maybe just “walk upstairs” like the lil girl in Family Matters did and never be seen again.
Mueller report might drop next week…and Michael Cohen going before the house to testify….2019…wow
Chile now that he is unemployed I wonder if his man will stay with him?
??????
Sir, isn’t that what your personal assistant is for? Furthermore, I can’t believe he doesn’t have a Rolodex of women at the ready for him
?????
Did you hear the lawyer in the press conference go over all of the text message exchanges between Jussie and Able? He asked him to do it in the text message. You need to listen to the press conference from the police superintendent and prosecuting attorney where they not only discuss the evidence but all of the time lines and how they caught everyone
the real news!!!!
I just saw it on the news..busted in a prostitution ring!!! Child of gawwwd
He’s not Mexican or Middle Eastern ?????
LOL you know those are the only terrorists Americans care to recognize.
He cant even get on the studio most likely
????????
Prolly not. Look what happened to Michael Sam. His “princess” DIPPED the minute he saw that Sam wasn’t going to be an NFL star.
Or maybe if he wasn’t a “white nationalist” but a Democrat plotting to kill some trumpers…
I used to work as a mental health nurse. I recognized that flat affect on Jussie’s face yesterday. I’ve seen that same look many times before on patients. I suspect someone knew he was emotionally unstable. Why are they playing games with actor’s livelihoods? Forcing cast members to worry about their financial future is just wrong.
It hasn’t been officially renewed for season 6, but most “experts” think it probably will be.
I thought about that as well. Them white folks put his thick azz up 2 doing that 2 b the first one n when they saw it wasnt no money involved they got thé hell on.
I figured it was to keep the job or promote the job. I initial thought him and lee daniels/a producer came up with the ploy. it still seems odd how the cops magically knew to look at the two brothers as suspects. like maybe jussie partner told on them.
She’s ashamed! Not to mention we don’t know if she will choose to “stand with” her son…..
There was no magic. The cops called the ride share and taxi companies and asked a simple question: “Who did you drop off or pick up in that area on this date at that time?
who cares..Iiterally stopped watching the show FIRST season, the second episode….I watched the episode when Forest Whitikaer got killed off..the show was never good.
I was concerned about the dead look to his eyes yesterday too. But come on Sandra, in that business there really aren’t any guarantees. You do your best and hope for the best. You don’t stage this big, messy tale. He didn’t even say he was just mugged or randomly jumped (which woulda been believable in Chicago or pretty much anywhere). He cast himself as gay bashed, beat up and nearly lynched by some racist, homophobic trump supporters. He went too far!
I TOLD YALL.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d647cdc08ce11e2b892b9ad8203dcc41fba2547e951d9d68a6f86718726e0d9f.gif
Well if he doesnt he can always turn to whichever one of those Nigerian brothers he was sleeping with. Or still might be. I am CONVINCED he was fukkin one of em.
Exactly!!! I thought they have people, who arrange those types of things for them
lmao
Yep! That too!
Love triangle gone wrong.
LOL listen I would’ve definitely sent it my resignation letter via email….
He was. The tall one.
I just knew at SOME point that he was gonna be fired. Sooner vs LATER
Abimbola <<< him.
OOH… Well, that changes things a bit. Still colossally stupid/insane, if that was his gambit.
honestly you could say he was bringing light to an issue.
________________
You lost me here. Bringing light to what issue? His own? Or……
Ok!!
Really? Lol.??
She silly
Now when the plug gets pulled on Empire, everyone will blame him lol. But the ratings have been going downhill since the first season.
Emotionally unstable people are very unpredictable. You can’t apply logic to their actions. I posted a photo of Taraji 2 days ago. You could see the look of stress on her face. I’m sure all the cast members were concerned about their futures. Fox held that casket over their heads like a guillotine. That’s intentional infliction of emotional distress in my book.
especially when they dont have anything else. there are tons of actresses who fake injury or assault to stay on a show. thats why I wrote earlier “why are the cops moving so fast”. jussie shouldve pulled this in LA. they know how the industry works. lol. they wouldve released all evidence and dropped the case. this is a case for the public not the courts. there wasnt a manhunt.
If I WERE still watching this show, I promise it wouldnt get another view from me. On all that I am. I aint watched since Rhonda got pushed down the steps/Boo Boo Kitty was expecting Hakeem baby,
That’s an interesting way to look at it!
We still on Jussie? There is so much more going on. And since we aren’t talking about the real news, Janet Mock making another transition by getting divorced. Donald Jr. and his wife withdrew their divorce papers. There is more going on besides Jussie and his shenanigans.
Those balls probably look like frozen chicken boneless nougents.
I guess he did it there because it’s a heavily blue, liberal state like California.
They’ve already figured it out. He’s been written out. They will probably let him past the security gate one more time to get his crap, but that’s it.
Exactly.
Welp, my lunch is over. Back to blogging.
Lmao. The freezer burnt ones!
Right. I wouldnt even bother.
Forrest was on there? Wait, he was the deddy? Or am I thinking about Jason Lyric?
Well who the hell wrote this write up while you were “at lunch”?
Yep! ?Had Sam and his “boo” all on camera kissing and zestily sharing cake (like ANY football fan wants to tune in to see that ?) when he was drafted. Had this whole thing drawn up to be this groundbreaking fairy tale for the NFL. They even paused the damn draft just so the commissioner could walk up and announce him as the 249th pick. Then preseason happened and he was cut by the Rams and no other team picked him up so his “boo” said BYE as he once again embarked on a quest to find a new sugar daddy ?
________________________!!!
people have sued before. the industry doesnt want this addressed. I know one actress got put on another show to drop her case and another one was labeled crazy and her case was dismissed right away. I actually think in the time of “me too” that someone can sue or at least have a union arbitration.
right now its proper etiquette to tell the employee that they are in the casket but it should be sop that an actor has to be told at least a few weeks before aire date if the actor isnt in demand.
i guess the cast of empire are such drama queens that fox was afraid the person written off would harm the show.
Mighta put it on a delay. I know I write all the emails that I am planning on addressing for the day, at around 7:30-8 am… and put them on delay sending/posting for…3 pm EST.
That way you have AN HOUR to write me back and HOPE I decide to act on it OR…I can get to it tomorrow at 8 am when I respond to all the folks again.
I wonder if his crime is a hate crime because it targeted white ppl….so many questions…will we ever know the truth.
.
.
.
Before anybody starts having a heart attack in my comments its a joke,
I dressed as cookie for halloween last year n my coworker asked what would cookie do. I said cookie will go up n down that head.
I do that when I intend to not be at my computer but want it to look like I was working through the day…LMAO
That’s embarrassing for a gentleman of his stature
illnois is a different type of blue. chicago is a different type of blue. lol. they are fighting for space in chicago and everyone who isnt in your circle is an enemy. chicago is so corrupt that of course they was going to use jussie if he lied. they need to put on a show.
in the northern part of california it wouldnt fly either.
We can possibly take a break from Jussie until the case progress but I most certainly don’t want to read about Donald Trump Jr, especially if it’s about them withdrawing divorce papers lbvs. People do that daily. And?
Auntie, I read somewhere else that Jussie was written out of the last two episodes not five.
https://www.mediaite.com/online/jussie-smolletts-role-removed-from-final-two-episodes-of-empires-current-season/
Also are you going to do a post on Patriots’ owner and Trump BFF Robert Kraft who was arrested in Florida for solicitation?

That was a little bitty azz man. I was like dude really.
LMFAO….Dummies everywhere. You rich, get you a high end escort.
I’m working on the Robert Kraft story now.
So the Chinless Wonder ( Don Jr.) dumped his Kimberly?
When will sidepieces learn?
Good info. Thanks.

Welp..https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5438ba8c2b14c72bc6324a2f144524782a31e48fd654e3c4895018c738f343c9.jpg
That’s so damn cold!!
It’s always the penis that brings men down.
smh… (no it’s not sir)
I hope you had a good healthy lunch.
if he did stage the incident, if people rallied behind him, he then would become EMPIRE. instead of it being terrance and taragi. or maybe he was just trying to carve out a piece for himself. empire pulls a lot of stunts so if he represented something then they would have to consult him on his character. like on ” this is us” they cant just fire the guy i think his name is sterling. they have to consult him or he would take a lot of their audience. like chrissy meltz of the same show was in that position but her attitude lost her standing.
I think everyone on EMPIRE is up for grabs now. so possible jussie wanted to be that lynch pin.
it wouldve worked if the police didnt really try to find the “assailants” like they usually do. possible could’ve worked if jussie just spoke about it once and left it alone.
dang I thought I was the only one who did this LOL
LMFAOOOOOO
I personally haven’t done 3 years, but I know folks who have. They go in and the next thing you know they out already. Time flies by really fast.
they really did some fast good police work but used it on this nonsense. its a shame and I know some real victim in chicago is very upset. hopefully, everyone uses this as a teaching moment. dont involve police or innocent people in your lies.
Told you….Career Suicide
Deez nuts? ? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a9d1d1cb0a002aff5c8b671d1fda5d0987dcac83cebfbd4e82960993b06e5516.jpg
This mess is crazy and may never know why. I bet Lee disgusting Daniels was in on it. But Jussie will never exposed anyone because all these people take oaths. They must take the public humiliation, and keep their mouth shut for them to still be able to “eat” behind the scene.
Dont mean it aint gonna stop bumping her. He saw all those zeros in child support n say l betta live 2 lives.
let me know if you need help
Mannnn can’t trust nobody named Jussie…Either u JESSIE or u ain’t! Lol
He brought it on himself
Thanks for reminding me of this Billy Madison line:
“what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”
This!!! I was like WHET? Said the massage parlor charging $79 an hour. All that money and still cheap as HELL.
When she dumped his ashes down the sewer! ? ? ?
and why would they keep all the evidence. in hindsight I guess its a good thing they kept it so they couldnt be framed later. so if the brothers hadnt been cheap and bought the supplies at a real store and used a taxi there would be no leads. I think he did it but I am leaving room that he has been threaten before.
Look, I am just throwing out suggestions. Do you have any?
Thinking with that “head” between those “shoulders”. #downbelow
I hope he did. Wipe that smug look off her damn face.
Jussie will never exposed anyone because all these people take oaths.

Like a frat.
He did it to himself. Smh ????
I stopped watching when Lucious started seeing ghosts. Was that season 2?
he might not be done. in activist circles they may sympathize. he just has to play it right. no one got hurt so he maybe able to recover.
He lying lol
1st pic….he think he in a frat line or somethin’. All concentrated like he’s about to step. He’s about to step alright. Jussie YOU GOT SERVED! The gig is up! CUT! NEXT SCENE! Come back to reality. The SHOW IS OVA’!
AND SCENE… This seems like a bad Netflix movie. Like the ole Steven Segal movies. And if they dare pull the mental illness card. Substance abuse going to Shady Tree Rehab. The kind of place rich folk go to. Journal writing and painting your room looks like it belongs in some boutique hotel. There is a difference between being stuck on stupid & mental illness. I hv zero nada compassion.
Chile smh
Take out those hazelnuts and make’em smoked and I’ll eat that pic. LOL
Sad. Not to endorse that kind of behavior… but most billionaires who get down like that have women on call for that type of stuff. They don’t get dropped off at some Asian massage parlor. Just reckless on his part. smh
His black side targeted his white side? Lol
Passages Malibu
Na. Lee ain’t that dumb
That shat was probably boxed up & ready for ups ground to pickup the minute this mess went to the grand jury?
Preach. Where is Monique on this I want to hear her so bad.
This is like the OJ Simpson shit featuring a millianial.. this isn’t going away
I was reading blindgossip and it seems the Smollett family depends on him to keep working.
Bwahaaaaaaa?
When he brought those Hispanics on season 2 I stopped watching.. black folks love including everybody
???
What? Donald withdrew the divorce papers? That means him and the Fox lady are done. His wife is super rich, she doesn’t need him.
He coulda asked Meek where them hoes at. Did this happen last night? Meek was actually in Miami last night. *shrug*
That’s weird, because the NYPost/Page Six is saying they finalized their divorce.
https://pagesix.com/2019/02/22/donald-trump-jr-finalizes-divorce-from-vanessa/
They should not have killed the FWhitaker character. I was warming to him and he was a formidable character to Lucius. But I think Forest had other commitments, plus he was probably in the throws of divorcing his wife. But I really liked his character. I’m not warming to the illegitimate son, however, I can see where he would take Jamal’s place.
Yep, back to basics for him. ?
cause thats what “time up” does. they dont wait for hearings. I wouldnt have resigned cause her son has texts messages from the woman thanking him for the massage and calling him healing. but “time up” isnt fair. I agree with the idea of times up because i have been treated unfairly but they call for people to be fired on the spot. so she had to go over some garbage. even if its true it doesnt rise to the level of shunning.
Did you see the list of DOB of the men busted…most of them are old, just nasty…
my cousin works for CPD. good and fast police work was conducted bc there were soooo many gaps and obvious lies so the evidence was easy to compile (much like how 48 Hours works). Other victims cases are more difficult when you have witnesses who won’t speak, crimes happening in areas where the cameras aren’t as good, it’s harder (although i’m not denying that CPD has negative history in covering up crimes). Jussie made this easy. I could sense the deputy super annoyed cus its like if you gon make us use our resources on you at LEAST make it worth our while. this was a waste all around
Heidi chick Hollywood Madam didn’t teach them $hit. This reminds me of the movie with Jennifer Love Hewitt..Off topic though but no-one can cry like she can. She needs to teach a class for actors. I’m tired of seeing the fake cry and face dry as hell.
No true Sandra I read fox doesn’t want to look like they’re not loyal so the will wait and see what will happen with Jussie when and if a jury Decides he’s guilty

Seriously?
Seriously?
He was just asking to be blackmailed
According to DM.
She basically saying if he confesses let’s move along everyone lies
I wanna know more about Janet Mock’s divorce. As an openly transgender activist who supported gay marriage etc etc., I wonder what influenced her decision to divorce?
Yes seriously. She spoke about some of the games Lee played and her experience with him. But the way in which she said it rubbed people the wrong way but it was her truth, some of it is coming to light.
They legally separated last year not sure why they still had the divorce papers in court. He still dating Kimberly. I guess.
Doesn’t the ratings flunctuate between 5-7 million viewership? It dropped from 15-20 million, but if it’s still above 5 million mark, they’ll be fine.
Mock husband wanted a real woman. You can only fake it for so long.
That was a tough season to get through. But the show needs some consistency and structure. It seems like if enough viewers complain the direction of the show changes. There has to be a middle ground. Someone needs to do a better job wrangling the writers.
He’ll be on her show next…?!
Did yall hear the conspiracy behind this.. they are saying it was set up by the illuminati who planned the attack, knowing that it looked too obviously staged hired the two guy connected to him to play the role knowing that they would get questioned so they can say he planned it all.. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/68bc52b2a4f54f3dc0d4dea29ec0c12c203c19b65d4d18beb2fbbd13d0be6a55.gif
Yeah they’re afraid to label a yt American a terrorist. Shocking, I know ?
Does Iyanla speak at prison? She can let prisoners know that it’s “our” fault that they are there and voila, their lives will be FIXED!!
Okay. He’ll be on her show with his siblings detailing his mental illness and asking for forgiveness. Of course we will feel sorry for him and forgive his manipulative, lying a**.
??? real spit
Who or What is the illuminati? Real question…
OT- R Kelly has been charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse! Here we go again Chicago!
Exactly. I said the same thing on the other thread. The evidence is too circumstantial. Jussie had a relationship with at least one of the Nigerians, the rest feels like a lot of hearsay.
Is that all?
Chile told a lie out his own damn mouth …. accountability ! Sick of that illuminati shyt when clearly it was his azz that took the action
Yep, because now they have to get the trial to happen quickly and get the girl to come forward…. before he and his money team get to her First.
Supposedly two more women came forward and one of them had evidence
Daniels is not letting his pretty boy go down broke. I refuse to believe it.
No, he asked the guy to do a favor but to keep it on the low. The Nigerian filled in the gaps to their conversation and what the favor was. If they had a text sent from Jussie detailing what he wanted them to do and when, it would have been announced, but it wasn’t. The texts were vague and they needed someone to fill in the blanks.
Chile all liars will be called out …. don’t matter what crew you claim folks need to cut the shyt … illuminati etc all are serpent damn seeds period
I honestly have no idea. I just know the last season had some of its lowest ratings ever. Feels kinda like it’s on its way out.
Lol…I’m clueless even when I Google
Or maybe he is telling the truth and is just waiting on the appropriate forum to plead his innocence – which is what SR should do too – instead of spinning every leak/rumor into something it’s not.
I have a feeling that more people are involved, I say that because Lee Daniels posted a video and it looked like he was reading from a paper. He saying son I’m coming, I pretty sure I saw that. I hope I’m not like Jussie making up crap.
Folks wear that illuminati out bottom all dark entities are in this realm period and they all will dealt with accordingly thee end some these folks are in our own damn family … it’s real simple …. a liar manipulated… rapist false victim hood ran by nothing but ego …. will dealt with … thee end … if you have integrity that will be the protection … a dark person doesn’t have that …. when folks put that illuminati etc in the mix … it’s a complete distraction from common damn since … if they are a liar stay clear because those kind are currently in quicksand … and they want get out of it … much love to you ?
The Chi town is the IT city for the DRAMA!

Excuse my typos so done with the shyt don’t even feel like editing
It’s been withdrawn.
He did WHAT?!?! Rubbed his erect p….. well damn ?
??
Yes indeed…smh
I believe they initiated the divorce to protect their assets in case he was indicted. Now that it’s been withdrawn I guess he’s not going to be indicted after all.
Whew Chile ? just stay in integrity and keeps folks around with good integrity …. simple
I wonder what will happen to the Nigerian brothers. Will they be charged too?
Chile………… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8a0a0cd2c8155c78fdc7cf2a7ec9aeab7ba7ebc2b506d8e6c9af282a0c04642c.gif

Only one ketchup for two cheeseburgers and a large fry.?
The police separated the brothers at the airport and thrt stayed separated for two days and they corroborated each other’s stories. Don’t forget Jussie deleted all text and phone conversations with Abel including that text…why would he do that? If men that size were fighting him they would tear his size two ass apart like a piece of paper. They were wearing gloves, how did he get that scratch on his face? How come his sandwich stayed completely intact?
Her real name ain’t even Iyanla she should know ?
???
are you saying he’s waiting to testify in court, and that’s where he’ll tell the truth?
LOL
Ion know. I think it’s irreconcilable differences code for someone cheated. The usual.
And they got smollett to write the guys a check, call them and send them texts, all without Smollett knowing anything about it. Now those are some smart dudes.
That gif got me ????
I didn’t know Tyler spoke out…
Welcome!?
First, Jussie don’t make enough scratch to pay Mark Geragos, so who in the flying nun is paying his legal bills?
And they didn’t say he was fired. They said “…we have decided to remove the role of ‘Jamal’ from the final two episodes of the season”. That’s not fired that’s more like a suspension until the legal system plays out.
I don’t doubt he will be fired even if he goes to trial and is found innocent because this has brought too much negative attention to a flailing show.
For him to continue to plead innocent is a head scratcher. I’m thinking the FEDS gave the brothers a polygraph test (although the results can’t be used in a criminal trial). This is just a never-ending storyline.
It seems like a case of him trying to “fix” something himself instead of hiring a professional fixer.
I no longer watch Empire, however, I feel like he should survive this. Not trying to turn into a race issue, BUT, “other” contemporaries have done worse and their careers survived. Ask Bryan Williams.
The thing about lying is – EVERYBODY lies.
A lie is a lie, no matter the reason, no matter to who it’s told to.
Omissions are lies too.
From my observation, the people who swear up and down, they never tell a lie and are so honest, are the people that lie the most. They feel like their lies are justified and inconsequential, when the fact is – a lie is a lie.
Not absolving Jussie or trying to make light of the situation, I’m not willing to write him off for something like this (pun intended).
maybe he thought the could sneak in. lol. he is a widower so at least he isnt embarrassing anyone but himself. lol.
Brian Williams lost his job too.
the boyfriends family was mobbed up. I think they put on that show so Sam could be drafted in the first place. he completely folded when it came time to actually work.
E X A C T L Y !!! , People need to pay ATTENTION!
He seems relentless in wanting people to even still believe his story….just keep it real dang…
Power and the magicians do the same thing. Power also refuses to get rid of fan favorites. that show should be growing but they refuse to stay true to the story and they should do some re-cast.
and they really dont like him but they had to include him. I dont think he is their spokesperson. they just couldnt do the show without him.
People lie all the time no judgment here..
True dat…but he bounced back. To err is human, right?
Further not trying to make it a race issue, a woman just accused CB of rape. This is far more dangerous to me. It has been proven historically that “others” can do and say what the want with no consequence to the accuser and grave consequences for the accused.
Once again, not absolving him, but the encounter Jussie described, minus the beating, bleach pouring, and noose, has probably happened in real life on many occasions.
The other way around.
but he was moved to his own show on msnbc. when stone phillips had a car crash someone operated for brian williams to be given stones spot. so williams shouldve been removed completely.
I think he can survive as well. plus lee daniels productions are never fair so no telling what the real reason why jussie did this.
that role belonged to jurnee.
one of them gave a talk about that subject. the ones that chase hetro guys always end up in heartbreak. no matter how much money they give them or how much the hetro respects them at the end of the day gay-4-pay can only last so long.
Why are people still on the fence about wither he is guilty of this hoax? This could have been devastating for Chicago had this been a real event. There are real people in the world who are victims of real hate and discrimination. I am insulted as a black person who has experienced racism that he had to frabricate this type of behavior that affects us all. He needs the book thrown at him a a glass of water to be so out of touch and thirsty for this type of attention. To use the hurt and pain of many is disingenuous .to all his supporters you can drink the bleach they found and have a dirt nap.
Went from making 1.7 million to making zilch!! Greed don’t get you anywhere, Hussie! Sorry, dumb, arse!!
Bingo!!!
instead of quoting a movie why dont you take ownership and put into your own words exactly what was “incoherent” about my thoughts.
the plight of random attacks especially the racial ones. remember a few months back in ky a white man went looking for black people to kill. he saw an elderly black couple, he went to his car grabbed a gun, and shot them. or just “walking while black”.
Exactly. Lee is the reason Monique all broke and blackballed. He only paid her 50k for precious. He has pull in Hollywood. But why shortchange you black actors. Never trust the help in Hollywood
This could be his way of getting out of his contract but he was just sloppy doing it.
From some money to no money, totally not worth it.
Nothing you just said has anything to do with the fact that the network has not said anything about firing him
Here’s what Jussie should and shouldn’t do: DON’T plead “not guilty” because you’ll just be wasting the taxpayers money and time with a trial where you’ll be found guilty anyway. DO plead guilty so you can avoid a trial and keep your money in your pocket. Your attorneys will bleed you dry trying to convince of jury that you’re not guilty when all the evidence screams that you are. Jussie, you do not have Denzel or Oprah money: They can pay lawyers to fight for them if they have to and get right back up the next morning and spend $100,000 on a pair of shoes. You need to keep as much of your money as you can because you won’t be getting any acting roles after the dust settles. And if you’re not careful, the blacklist you’re on could extend to your family members and all of you will be trying to get cast as a sign-spinner or one of those blowing-in-the breeze blowups, or whatever they call em, in front of the income tax preparer or car wash. I’m serious, Jussie. Accept that you dropped the ball on this one and effed up big time, take your lumps, then go sit down somewhere. Paying these PR fixit firms and attorneys is gonna do nothing but drain all your money. Then you’ll be under the freeway. And stop thinking you’re smarter than everybody else. That’s how you got where you are today–thinking you’re smarter than the police, the average joe, everybody.
When trying to secure a bigger bag goes wrong. Welp, I’m sure Subway is hiring.
It’s good tv to me
Hope you don’t mind me updated you since your not going to watch it.

Now that Mr King Lyon new son is in the picture he wants to destroy him from the inside out
Hope I made your day a bit better
It’s a lot missing but it might be to long to post but if you want I can add it later
I still believe that kamala harris and cory booker’s lynching bill played a pivitol role in this situation as well. I love to know if Jussie is kin to kamala as his mother and her share the same last name (Harris). Jussie was very active in the Time’s Up Movement and Kamala campaign. Time will tell but the whole story has NOT been told. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/79d969f0fda5ec272e33d2d86b4534077bde4ccb45c1b3ca47bf7101adf47ccb.jpg
No. Everyone understands that you have to network regardless of your profession.
They asked Monique to participate in the Cannes film festival. For various reasons she refused. Everyone noticed. Then Precious did well and she won an Oscar but she blames everyone else for her refusal to network.
The problem is that Monique (and her husband manager) don’t understand how Hollywood works and for some reason Monique believes she should be able to change the rules even though she has no power.
Look how they (mis)handled the Netflix situation. She got all in her feelings when the big wigs told her that she would have to audition if she wanted more than the $500K they offered her then she threw a temper tantrum when they wouldn’t bend.
And now she’s calling anyone who doesn’t agree with her a sell-out or Uncle Tom.
With a felony conviction on his record?
100,000 per episode….SMH…this fool killed his own bag…
Wasnt enough for his sweet entitled a$$?????
SMH….His sister is the bread winner now…she’s smart to stay quiet…
Empire fans can say with certainty that the body in the casket in season 5’s dramatic finale is Jamal Lyon.
*************************************************************************************Auntie…now Auntie. Why you do him like that? No one…and I mean no one can throw shade like you. And I LOVE IT!!!!
Subway may be to high scale. Mickey Dees hires felons. But then again, Jared the pedophile was the Subway spokesperson for years.
Hopefully, his crazy azz sees this and takes your advice.
Honestly I thought the body was Andre……
Advertisers won’t touch the show. That’s why they had to cut him from the final two episodes to show advertisers they were taking action.
They can easily keep the character and just replace the actor. There are plenty of light-skinned singing guys out there.
was it that much? the reports are all over the place. I’ve seen as low as $20k per episode and as high as $65k per episode.
Some info on Jussie defense….
From Breitbart “ex-boston-top-cop-smollett-legal-team-attack-cops-to-win-case/amp/
Variety Mag -“Jussie Smollett’s Attorneys Say He Was Victim of Police ‘Spectacle’”
I saw this in the very beginning, and heard a few rumblings about some behind the scene things. Jussies legal team is going after the process, the Chicago PD. Saying they comprised the case illegally in full vilolation of his rights, they also believe he was victimized by dirty cops because he is a gay celebrity.
Their attack on the nigerian brothers is they are drug dealers, and scammers their local business a party supply store a front and base for all types of illegal activity from drugs to credit card and identy fraud. In addition Jussie wasnt the only one from the show who bought from them.
There is a belief and Lee Daneils and Jussie had an inappropiate realtionship.
Lee may have exerted undue influence and forced his own agenda. In addition Jussie is not the only one, there may be many more, “inappropiate relationships” a “meetoo” type of situation for young male actors hired by Lee.
From his legal team…
“We witnessed an organized law enforcement spectacle that has no place in the American legal system… Mr. Smollett and notably, on the eve of a Mayoral election. Mr. Smollett is a young man of impeccable character and integrity who fiercely and solemnly maintains his innocence and feels betrayed by a system that apparently wants to skip due process and proceed directly to sentencing.”
Instead of this being the end….Looks like things are really just getting started…..
Lemme step back then..I heard this from K97 my local radio station…he wasn’t happy with 100k…so he decided to pull a stunt to get attention.. so his shows and Empire salary would increase…
Damn jamal lying the show was already going in a weird direction. Yeah I can honestly say that this show will be going down in flames R.I.P to the Empire show
I knew the CPD were going to be apart of their defense narrative after that 30 minute news conference episode! And now that Jussie is being removed from the show and his dollars have been cut…in his mind he may feel betrayed and he may get mad enough to ‘flip’ and spill the beans on everybody. He’s going to go into the self preservation mode if he isn’t appeased! Lee Daniels and team publicly had to take a stand for PUBLIC APPEARANCE…reputations and dollars are at stake! He has been included/ accessibility to “certain “circles so I’m sure a lot of folks are REALLY nervous behind the scenes.
Trump, Local politics, National politics, LGBT, Daniels and company, his empire circle, whew……nobody saw this firestorm coming…Oh yeah…it’s just beginning!
Perfecto, well said.
No, you could be right. They average 18-20 episodes so that’s well over a million a year. I hate so many people don’t have drive and tenacity. Jussie Smollett should’ve been doing club appearances, commercials, etc.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c282868147f78bb5a3fc70d5a8b7a740b88a4d8b9bcfec17556f3e41abcc6fcb.jpg
He got his check. I bet he wont be in the unemployment office early monday morning. They all signed that statement it is a done deal
He sure is using the word PROCESS a lot….??
Exactly…ain’t seen him nowhere but empire….and I stopped watching around season 2…
I totally agree!
That is some terrible ass advice lol. Thankfully he’s not paying you lol.
Jussie should plead Not Guilty because there is not enough evidence to convict him. All of the evidence against him is circumstantial. If his legal team can prove the CPD conducted this investigation illegally (which knowing their dumb asses, they did), all of the evidence they have against him will get tossed out anyway. He’s not going to jail.
I’m usually on the same page as you.. But just cause he Gay and got male associates dont mean they doing the butt! Unless you got that Paper tea??? ?
I done forgot all about him!
I can understand him being mad at her for not going but to try and blackball her was low. im sure “the pakers” didnt pay all that well. so its not like she is just swimming in money. it was last minute-if im remembering right- so that means she wouldve paid triple for everything. easily 6 grand for 2 days and thats the bare minimum.
he even tried to bait and switch dame dash.
Jussie, and everybody else, needs to remember that he’s black before he’s anything else. He was black before he was gay. He can plead Alford and start ending this right now and keep his money. He’s hated now so he will be found guilty. If he starts paying lawyers, he won’t stop until he has nothing. I’m looking at this from a long-term financial aspect. He needs to hold on to every dime he has because it could be years before he works in the industry again. He’s got a stigma attached to him now. He’s tainted.
Agreed
HAWHAW
How many malt liquors did yo have before posting this?
Fawk democrats, fake news and you
Monique’s truth stikes the Second time for Lee Daniels. Jussie looks very dark now. His eyes are just empty. He is really sick.
Probably was until Jussie did this
Probably Low from what Monique said about Lee Daniels,
Lee like Steve Harvey let you know he Will do Anything for the dollar, Anything!!! Idiots.
She tried to speak. Jussie back that thing up.
Well, he really can buy a subway now, And get one free. Equal value, iiiiihaaaa,
Just like stupid Rae Carruth. Went from Millions to making 35 cents a day as a barber In Jail, not to pay Child Support. Don’t Skip School Please!!!
True and it is Wrong.
Monique agreed with that price. She admitted that. Monique had other problems with Lee. But, she exposed him as the Low Crook He Is. Watch out Oprah and Tyler!!!
so his defense for sending the texts and calling them the day of the attack and writing the $3500 check is that he was just buying illegal drugs from these guys, not setting up the fake attack?
Thank you for such an intelligent and inspired response!
More than one way!!!
Literally!!!
Oh foreal?…that’s a smart move…
So this coconut will do fed time for hating on himself?
LOL!
Fawk off
He’s a narcissist who believes, like most narcissists, that he is the smartest one in the room. He’s smart and we’re dumb. What he says is true and we MUST believe it because he’s gay, black and HE said it’s true. We’re supposed to suspend all logic and reason and just blindly support him. Didn’t you get that memo? Lol!
Or had his agent negotiate a raise. Nope! This scheme made more sense. Smh!
Which one? Jurnee or Jazz? Jurnee comes across as smug, defiant and arrogant as Jussie. His family more than likely knows the truth but will still back him. Yeah, it’s about loyalty and blood, but I also feel this group would do whatever they need to in order to save face and/or promote an agenda. He needs to tell the truth and if his family and legal counsel are telling him to do otherwise (just keep fighting and pointing fingers), they really aren’t doing him any favors. Tell the truth, take the “L”, accept the punishment and then later down the road MAYBE he can come back. I think a lot of ppl would respect that. Again, Jussie is such a narcissist that he and the truth play hide and seek so it may not happen. He is just digging himself deeper.
Instead of telling the real truth and not a half truth (he WAS attacked BUT but he orchestrated it) showing all this “great character and integrity” I keep hearing he has, he would rather point fingers and escape consequences. This man has lied so much I think he actually believes he was attacked by two white MAGA supporters… lol! Seriously, as long as he gets even the slightest support, he is going to keep running with these lies. He is paying his legal team and his fans are just that…fans. But, his family should be telling him to do better. I wonder if any of his brothers or sisters is scratching their heads on this and just don’t want to mess up the solidarity? Even IF he admits it, I believe they will still say he was attacked. Smh! If this was my family and I didn’t believe it, I for sure wouldn’t be doing any interviews. When I didn’t show up for his court appearance, “hey, y’all, I forgot what time we was supposed to meet up to head that way and my cell fell in the toilet so I didn’t know you called”…lol!
You are right, Jurnee!!!
black actors female mostly make such a little amount of money as oppose to their white counter parts which is so unfair.
Oh. But I don’t think it was a “couple” per se’. I think one was a grandfather with his grandson at the meat counter and the lady was in the parking lot. Either way, it was sad and I understand what you’re saying now.
