Jussie Smollett’s Empire co-stars embraced the troubled actor as he returned to the set hours after posting a $100,000 bond and surrendering his passport on Thursday. Smollett, 36, was arrested early Wednesday and charged with a felony for filing a false police report.
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.
According to TMZ.com, Smollett issued an apology to his co-stars, saying, “I’m sorry I’ve put you all through this and not answered any calls. I wanted to say I’m sorry and, you know me, I would never do this to any of you, you are my family. I swear to God, I did not do this.”
Co-star Gabourey Sidibe never lost her faith in Smollett. Sidibe says she still believes in Smollett, despite the overwhelming evidence that he faked a hate crime.
“I know him, I believe him, I stand with him. #jussiesmollett,” Sidibe wrote on Instagram, accompanied by a quote from the black nationalist Malcolm X on the oppression of black people.
“This is the media, an irresponsible media. It will make the criminal look like he’s the victim and the victim look like he’s the criminal,” the quote reads. “If you aren’t careful, the media, the media will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
She quickly deleted the Malcolm X quote and posted her reason for the deletion (see post below).
Smollett and his legal team continue to maintain his innocence, insisting he was a victim of a hate crime.
Smollett’s legal team, which includes famed celebrity attorney Mark Geragos, issued a stern statement about law enforcement.
“The presumption of innocence, a bedrock in the search for justice, was trampled upon at the expense of 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 betrayed by a system that apparently wants to skip due process and proceed directly to sentencing.”
They added that the nation has “witnessed an organized law enforcement spectacle that has no place in the American legal system.”
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.

Well. She is entitled to ride for her friend. If she wants to believe him, let her.
Don’t put none of this shyt on God bruh ! Done with this cat and the stunts … BBL?
Soooo despite AAAAAAALLLLLLLL the coroborating evidence, this fool is still holding onto the lie. So he’s a pathological liar, manipulator and just all around garbage. Fawk him.
I wonder what Taraji and Terrence have to say but I am glad they are keeping quiet. Also, Gabourey stand by what you post or stay tf off social media and be quiet. Can’t stand some of these celebrities, fr fr.
Agree. As for me, I am side-eyeing him from here to eternity. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5e22f592729983158ec3868ee3a0b24dbfaa5b19a4f9e3d3fea1cb4b9a033f03.gif
That’s some wild crip shyt yo!
I still #GOTHISBACK! I’m not mad at Jussie. Whatever his reasoning, Jussie felt desperate and made a mistake. He’s still a good guy.

But there isnt a single part of his story that has any evidence to support it. The brothers have a $3500 CHECK, along with a mountain of additional evidence, to support THEIR story.
Wow. Just wow!
THAT is not so. I am mad at Trump’s lying arse all day every day.
That’s my jam!
I was already side eye’n her. Since she allowed herself to be a joke to Jimmy Kimmel. It rubbed me the wrong way. I guess that is why Im just like okay girl in re to her support of Jussie.

Chile if they believe that then “I was Joan of Arc in my former life”…
The thing is, if this STUPID MF just said, “I f*cked up… BAD. I listened to someone tell me that this thing wouldn’t hurt anyone and would blow over as quickly as it started. I didn’t think this through. The implications of what it meant to people who have REAL issues moving forward. How the fallout would affect decisions to come out, or not. In hindsight, this was a horrible, horrible thing to do and I can’t be angry with anyone who is angry with me because what I did $hit in the faces of REAL victims of bigotry and prejudice. I don’t know if I’ll be able to get back in the good graces of those I”ve let down… those I’ve hurt. But, I will do everything within my power to try.. I’m taking a break from everything to get my life back on track but, most importantly, to give the people I’ve hurt time to recover from this stupid decision I made. I love you all, please pray for me.
Juss.”
And go take a fu*king break for a few months.
Whole CD/album is CLASSIC!
Jussie’s team and these celebs who are sticking up for him are brainwashing gullible social media users who are now abandoning their common sense that initially told them he was lying, but are now having second thoughts; go with your first mind.
This is some kind of tactic being used on the masses to deflect. That’s how casey anthony and George Zimmerman got off, those lawyers got to those jurors.
Because Jussie said he wasn’t involved, it must be true. These celebs know fans are easily controlled so all his supporters have taken on this he was set up for political gains crap.
How can they defend his lies? he told police he didnt know the brothers, they were white, etc. He bragging about being the black tupac. I would just be silent if he was my friend instead of looking like a fool.
Cause you KNOW, if it had been Obama he would already be impeached and gone.

Chile and his brother Jake was on IG last night riding for him when someone said “did he get a DUI in 2007 and use your name?”…Jake responded F**k you…So I guess Jussie has always been the troublemaker in the family…
It’s not a little lie, and why do little lies get to be white? ?

Cause Taraji and Terrance know the truth… that Jussie is lying…He’s been showing his azz on the set for months now acting all diva-licious…what I dont understand is that if he wanted more money why didn’t he just go to Broadway on the months they weren’t filming…He didn’t because he likes to spend his time off doing lines and rubbing coconut oil on Trade…Chile…
lmaoo
Lee Daniels definitely has something to do with this ploy. It has his energy all over it! Jussie needs to keep it a buck and tell the truth.
That might be a good tactic in the court of public opinion but it might screw him legally to admit the truth at this point.
Enablers. His whole family. smh.
Gay Tupac. Pac was blacker (color-wise) than Jussie.
New post. Black History.
I still believe the motive was for political and career building reasons. He didn’t do this to squeeze another $50k out of fox for his role on Empire
Well, it doesn’t matter at this point because they already know he’s guilty. It might actually HELP him in court to tell the truth publicly because the judge DEFINITELY ain’t feeling you walking around saying, “I did NOT do this!” knowing your ass did. So, I’d take my chances.
So there is a Coast Guard officer that had a hit list full of Democrat politicians and journalist and yet no one knows his name. Why isn’t his case making headlines?
If they had checked him earlier, it probably wouldn’t have got this bad.
I wonder where is his mama? Why she didn’t go to the courthouse?
Fukk Lee and his fairy ass. And over on the new post it was dropped his ass tryin to do a Billie Holiday docu. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a43cec9a413b0c94dd33cb29c13db2376273b2abad9b1ed2b1a530be02544e5f.gif
Very true. I wonder what his lawyers are advising him to do.
I get what you are saying, but I think his issue is this. He sent that threat in the mail. He was too stupid to understand the federal implications of sending that letter (mandatory jail time in federal prison). He is now fighting it all because of the letter.
Until I see more proof of his innocence than I do of his guilt I FIND HIM GUILTY! These high PAID attorneys / LIEawyers are money driven and morally corrupt. Jussie take your Lil whining druggie fudgepackin self centered arse on… IDGAF if he is black… WRONG IS WRONG AND I refuse to be part of the following!
I believe it…those men were hard up for money and in the statement released it said that they had stayed in Istanbul for a few days too..a flight from Chicago to Lagos w/ layover in Istanbul is around 2000.00 give or take…Jussie only paid them 3500.00 w/ 500.00 on the backend if they got away with it…that low amount just to commit that crime shows that they are broke so someone financed their flight and hotel stay for 14 days…
Wondering the same thing. Probably embarrassed.
It is…Christopher hasson. The media picks its poison for us…
you should be his representative. Well said!
Messy Jussie said it would be a cold day in hey-all before he would lie. Oh but wait a minute it snowed in L.A. and Vegas yesterday. #snowmaggeden

how i miss this?! where you at Sis??????
apparent-lee, LOL!
can you be my publicist? This was an excellent write up!
All he has left is his friends so I don’t blame him for continuing on with the lie. If he makes them think that its some sort of conspiracy, then he still has something and someone to fall back on. But, he will lie again. The arrogance of him going back to work to ACT like nothing is wrong.
it’s so childish (and unconvincing), smh
DEF!
thank you! you don’t care ’bout your real fam, so these other folk can get it too, LOL!

If they gave Smallet a polygraph test….them graphs will spell out Nugga Stop LIne
Especially HIS lawyers. He hired, among others, Todd Pugh, the lawyer responsible for helping to free one of the cops in the Laquan McDonald case (Joseph Walsh).
“Walsh’s lawyer, Todd Pugh, questioned whether the three officers should have ever been brought to trial.”
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna959411
Thanks to Pugh, Walsh is a free man. And thanks to HALF WHITE andJewish Jussie Smollett, Pugh is getting richer every h our.
WHY ARE BLACK PEOPLE STILL SUPPORTING THIS MAN???
agree.
the judge pretty much already told him ‘fugg presumption of innocence as it relates to you and this matter… you is guilty as hail, and i see your lil sneaky, lyin’ azz’
he may want to NOT stand in that judge’s courtroom and further insult his intelligence by continuing to play the victim.
You may have been. I believe in reincarnation. I just think that Empire cast is out of touch with reality. If they’re believing Jussie’s bullisht then that tells me that they’re all a bunch of nutcases.
Gabby Sidibe Says, ‘I Believe Him’
====
If she really believes him, Gabby needs to submit to a drug test ASAP.
Jenie called it!
Once the post office and FBI complete the investigation into that letter all the dots will connect.. That letter may or may not help his case
Right!
Jussie’s team and these celebs who are sticking up for him are brainwashing gullible social media users who are now abandoning their common sense that initially told them he was lying, but are now having second thoughts; go with your first mind.
___________________________
you’re absolutely. but observe this: this is the tactic that has worked for the sitting president and his base. i don’t support Jussie’s lies, but if this is his team’s ‘strategy’ they’re just stealing from the playbook of a sitting narcissist. Wow!
the expected public outcry and support would have made him (in his mind) a commodity, potentially increased empire’s audience, resulting in him being thee star of the show and worth more per episode.
Morning Joe was going off this morning when he said no tweet from the white house or doj. If the guy was mexican or muslim he would be tweeting n having a news conference all over the place.
Gabourey also believes that is a stunning looking size 6 model..a lot of people their are delusional supporting a sociopath. The evidence includes text messages literally asking them to do it and the check and she still believes him…IDIOT!
*cackles*
Sounds like jussie can’t believe castmembers want him gone!
OT I just heard that FOX executives just Axed Jessie
You got part of it right. Yeah, it was a “white lie,” literally, but the ninja sacrificed two Black men to tell that “white lie,” and ishtted on our ancestors who actually endured lynchings and racial attacks in the process. That ninja done set us back some years. Fluck Jussie!! Off with his head!
The date on that note says Feb 19th. It wasn’t referring to the Jussie tweet. It was the Karl Lagerfeld.
Take a lie detector test, him and the Nigerians.
And/or the potential for endorsement money would be a factor. Some people make more off of endorsements than their primary job (athletes, for example). Plus he was supposed to be dropping an album so it’s publicity/sympathy for that too.
You smart!
Carrington for President!
LOL!
Yep! (but it’s worse than i thought…. he may be genuinely cray)
Goodt. He won’t be in the last two episodes and has been suspended. I haven’t even watched Empire since season 2 but he deserves this and more.
Well now we’re going to have a problem with being believed if we really do encounter hate crimes. So thanks to Jussie, we can now add that elephant to “Black people’s living room.”
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f7eaec3810d7ff2b63881b5fff3f5f46424c79775591df6190c0db090faa8d72.png
What about the people you endanger with YOUR comments, Donald?
Of course, the Race-Baiter-In-Chief had to chime in. Funny how we didnt see this energy from him when Republican Steve King made his recent racist comments… or after Charlottesville. But he’s quick to jump on this now that a black man is involved. SMH.
yeah, he was aiming for “poster boy” status for all the causes, LOL!
HE better check to see if Lee has a life insurance policy out on him.
He was just written out of Empire. A statement was released.
Trump is tweeting about Jussie Smollet but not this? Amazing… but not surprising. smh
Out of the last 2 episodes

Out of the last 2 episodes..
Lee Daniels did this
Lee talked him into it…gassed him up to do it….it failed…..he will be punished….the end. damn…so tired of this mess….
Or the coast guard ?…
I agree with his attorney’s statement, let the judicial system handle the process while maintaining the presumption of innocence, unless otherwise proven *in the court of law* not public opinion.
The evidence is overwhelming and I hope to God that Jussie’s not lying and that his defense team can prove all of this in court.
When you look at things objectively, the evidence that they have – definitely overwhelming – is all circumstantial at best. Jussie had a working and romantic relationship with the Nigerians. For all we know the payment could have been related to Jussie hiring dude as a fitness trainer. And who would accept $3500.00 (which was being split between them both) to fake a hate crime in below temperatures? The dudes could have blackmailed him with this faux attack and gotten way more money out of him. The evidence is just too overwhelming and keeps falling neatly into place. I’m just suspicious. And the fact that both Jussie and his attorney continue to proclaim innocence is making me wonder if this is some sort of setup?????.
Yes. Still giving him false hope, he’s done on that show!
When shit started to go south he should have just said it was a lovers quarrel and he’s not cooperating anymore.
Is Gabby a real friend or is she in denial, too?
I didn’t know this shape growing up https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/17e3e0fbfa8629a175454cb70adb02d9c647e9d5264ed53f50416e5a02b148a2.jpg
LOL!
There is no hard evidence on either side …………..
Gabby still high from all those STICKY BUNS she been eating.
When I was a kid my sister would tell me swear to god your not lying I would always say it with my fingers crossed knowing i was lying just like him
Absolutely!
That’s clever. lol
Have we explored the possibility that this was staged but not by Jussie? Maybe someone else connected to the show hired the brothers to do this and Jussie was just used as a pawn and had no idea. Maybe they knew Jussie would use his platform to publicize the attack thus gaining publicity for the show. Just playing devil’s advocate.
Not plausible, Jussie wrote those checks, how does he explain that, and the text exchanges between them.
Yes but how would his financial records of the $3500 in payment which he gave the two Nigerian brothers be explained sis??
??? thanks
I heard the check said in the memo section that it was for personal training services and was dated for 1/23/19.
The ONLY cast member that believes him is GABBY ?. You have not heard anymore cast members coming out to support him! I believe they want him off the set but it’s up to Daniels…they are going to have to take the BIG L on this one and I’m sure they’re not happy! Jussie put the whole production in a jam and as a Chicagoan…I’m no longer their “friend”…
The problem is…he should have recognized them since they were friends/co-workers AND workout buddies. Wouldn’t you recognize 2 beefy friends of yours in ski masks?
Now that’s veryyyy interesting….
Yeah right! For starters, the idiot wrote them a check. And on the memo line wrote something to the effect of “practice” or “rehearsal” . . . some dumb, incriminating isht like that.
I don’t even think you would “recognize” your friends at 2am dressed in all black and wearing masks. I’m not saying I believe this theory, I’m just saying its possible.
Just saying. Have they explored the brothers’ financial records. There could be other large payments made to the brothers that did not come from Jussie.
True its possible but I think I would have reacted totally different. Plus its just too many details here that don’t add up…
3500 for personal training? How does he explain writing the letters?
Training, as in Personal Training
I know we want to give him the benefit of doubt..but he has come off as a liar from the get go by not being upfront. If someone is behind this, he has made their plan run smooth as hell. He is either lying or not wrapped too tight. Out 2am in Chicago to get a damn sub..tuh
No, as in rehearsing the planned attack. The brothers stated that they rehearsed a few days prior. And the check was for the amount that he agreed to pay them for the real fake attack. Ishts just insane.
Did they find his DNA on the letters? I was just wondering how they know it was him.
That’s another thing I was thinking what if someone else staged this? Are we looking at Mr Lee Daniels shady behind?
He’s definitely a sociopath.
Okay they should of that and get it over with. I don’t understand why they don’t use those test.
I’m assuming they consider test inaccurate in the court of law.
I wouldn’t doubt it. I believe that there’s definitely some bigger fish involved. I smell political players involvement with elections coming up next year.
If he was innocent and this was a setup, there’d be no need for him to be uncooperative with the cops about his phone records. That’s how you expect a guilty person to act,not an innocent man.
Besides, when you look at all the evidence they have on him:
http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/newsdesk/tmz_documents/jussie-smollett-bond-proffer-01.pdf
its hard for me to believe this is all some elaborate scheme by somebody to set him up.
Oh, I thought they said he wrote “training ” to cover his tracks. Either way it’s a mess
I said the same thing. I keep going back and forth because I know people get setup all the time. If they practiced I want to see them going into somewhere together that wasn’t a gym
I don’t think so but come on smh the n*gga says swear to god and now people believe him? smh this stuff gets crazier by the day.
Taraji was initially speaking in his favor. She aint said isht since.
Now he done put it on God… hasn’t he done enough!!!! Lord help this boy get it together!
With all due respect, I think you’re trying too hard to find some kind of contrarian explanation than makes sense. But if something looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, then there’s a 99.9999999 % chance it’s a duck.
Look at the charging documents in this link below, and ask yourself if it’s likely that the Chicago PD just made up all this evidence against the man for no reason: http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/newsdesk/tmz_documents/jussie-smollett-bond-proffer-01.pdf
Remember Precious wanted a light skin boyfriend.
To bad they used cut out from a magazine.. they didn’t write anything..
Had he not mentioned the White Maga people I would have believed him. He did this and is to much of a narcissist to admit to it. BTW he was communicating with them and the police have evidence of this. He wanted Clout.
Have you not heard the prosecutor and how they pieced all this together they have video of him pointing to the camera days before when they rehearsed.. lol nice try though
How does it explain the calls leading up to the attack and afterwards.. he was talking to them while they were in africa
That is a plot twist. Every friend ain’t a friend.
YES! He must! He’s so damn scandalous! He irks my nerves.
I find it interesting that he hasn’t said anything since these new revelations. Jussie needs to out him for his role in this. LOL I’m so serious too.
The check i heard about but anyone can forge a signature. Those two brothers could have forged it.
The text part i NEVER heard anyone mention that part. I don’t know why the chicago PD does not realise the texts messages I want to read JUSSIE admitting it WORD FOR WORD. That would basically shut down the investigation but there is a reason why it’s ONGOING.
Both sides don’t have shyt
Lee got something over Jussie. That’s why he hasn’t thrown him under the bus. Now THAT’S something I’d believe if he comes out and says “Lee made me do it.” SPILL IT, JUSSIE!
The Bible is against homosexuality so why swear to GOD and look even dumber
I believe him for some odd reason. I smell Lee Daniels behind this.
They swear to God they ain line, They swear on a stack of bibles they ain line, don;t forget “I swear on my dead Mama I ain line” dass when yew know they line
Exactly! That’s why his dumb a$$ was on stage right after talkin’ bout he’s the ghey Tupac..LOL..Nugga NEVERRRR!
He don’t got no “friends”
The FBI is not convinced he sent the letters. They think the CPD did a sloppy job.
I didn’t hear there was video of him pointing the camera. I heard they used cell phone tower data to say he was in that location that day. But he lives over there so that can easily be tossed out of court.
His name is Christopher Paul Hasson. I have seen his name and photo all over the internet.
Spill that tea!
Where you get that from? I haven’t seen a fbi statement that said that
Ad if he believes in the one true God. These celebs don’t believe in God. Their God is Lucy in the sky.
IA large percentage of black people in America have absolutely no sense of security… black folks getting killed by black people is just business as usual now a days… now a cop kill a criminal now that means it’s time to get to marching
Right ! That god on a paper bill
Lmfao right! And video of the nigerians buying the supplies used in this hot mess.
Hahha i hatechu
I’m sure a lot of celebrities say on public that they believe him…………..but what do they really say behind closed doors ?
Nah, phone records, video surveillance, texts, etc don’t lie. The prosecutor noted THESE THINGS as well in addition to your list.
I believe the African brother wrote the letter, yes. But someone had to send it to Jussie. That was the point of him writing it: to send it as well.
I will keep saying it….Tell the truth and shame the devil Jussie
yep!!
Exactly. I don’t know why some people are focusing on the letter, written check, and evidence found in their home, not Jussie’s, only when the police department stated other damning evidence that include Jussie.
I thought someone addressed the evelope in handwriting.
It’s a video of the prosecutor stating the entire timeline of the set up during a press conference. I think people need to locate that video and watch it before making this assumption.
He claimed they spoke to him, too. If he couldn’t recognized them physically, then he should’ve detected it was them via verbally.
their god is satan
their god is satan
Lol ? thank you too???
Lol ? thank you too???
How much evidence do some people need? The officers were very detailed with the timeline. Why didn’t the attorneys speak at the court house and answer questions? He can’t lie his way out of this bc of the GMA interview he identified the two men as his attackers. What he didn’t know is that the cops had already identified them so it’s a wrap. The best he can do is cry drug abuse and mental illness.

Don’t count on anything that is associated with the devil.
Please stop swearing on your mama, kids, and especially on God.
YEP
Yep but then want people to take us seriously.
I’ve always thought Gabby was a little….hmmm….delayed.
But they were wearing MAGA hats. You saw that THEY were in video buying it. Jussie didn’t lie about any of the details, which turned out to be true. The problem is that the cops never believed him from jump, so when the Nigerians told the cops what they wanted to hear (Jussie was behind everything), they continued to leak things that were circumstantial to hurt Jussie’s credibility. This investigation has been sabotaged from the beginning. The only question is why? Why Jussie? Why this type of attack? I will withhold judgement until the facts are presented in court. I refuse to become emotional over leaks and gossip.
Not sure what god he is swearing to perhapsp he is high and hallucinating ????? It would have been so much better if Jesse would have just (claimed) mental illness , drug addiction, had proof of blackmail, coercion, extortion, damn just had a doctors note!!! Went under doctors care , something. But to keep up this lie!!! It’s so infuriating !!! I want to beat his arse!!!!
I watched it and never heard her mention it. Regardless, it’s circumstantial. She can’t prove why Jussie was pointing to the camera or what they were discussing. It’s all circumstantial.
It’s hard to believe why Jussie should trust the cops after all the leaks and the way the investigation has been handled? Besides, once they got their hands on the phone records/texts what happened? The public was given a blow by blow account of what they THINK happened, and found two suspects that confessed to a narrative that had been circulating for days. People are so quick to condemn Jussie and the facts (from his side) haven’t even been presented.
Besides aren’t they also actors? Lol it’s not difficult to believe at all.
He must have been shaken as a baby or beat around the head, touched , possessed, or something!!! My Lord!! He Needs a deliverance and exorcism!!!
It was one check written a week or more prior to the incident. The one guy was Jussie’s trainer and didn’t the check indicate that as well? Besides, who the hell would accept HALF of $3500 to stage a hate crime? They could have gotten more money by blackmailing his dumb a s s.
They were friends and fawking
They did write on the letter tho?????
The guy was his trainer and they occasionally fawk
Exactly
Exactly lol
Might need to stay out of this Gabby. Take a page from Taraji and Terrance Howard book, they are seasoned in the business and know a thing or two.
But prior to that meeting where he pointed at the camera, he told the guys VIA TEXT MESSAGE to leave their cellphones at home.
The only hate crime is the one he committed against himself.
He must need a mountain size amount of attention to care about himself.
You have to be real soiled inside to lie and embarrass your family to this extent.
I don’t know if he did it or not but I feel like he was buying drugs with that money. Stranger things have happened. That so minor Stone can put a target up on Social Media of a federal drugs and get all kinds of warnings. Seems like that is the bigger crime.
I watched the whole video last night. I still stand by what I said. There is no mention of a video showing him pointing to a camera.
I am ready for him to start talking
She should just be quiet like his sister and EVERYBODY else?????
I won’t because the Nigerians were on tape in the area and he wrote check to them and was texting them at the time of the attack. He can tawana Bradley himself in to a hole for all I care. Black people lie ask al Sharpton.
I’d hate to admit it to myself if it were a loved one but not on social media especially when it’s clear he did it.
She likes Jussie and wants to believe him, but deep inside she knows he’s lying.
how much are tickets to and from nigeria, bc, from what im seeing, they are not cheap. did his hoax include the plane fare? if not, that little $3500 would be swallowed up on 2 sets of tickets. that means those brothers did this stunt for free.
I think it was said their trip back to Nigeria was already planned, so I’m assuming they paid their own airfare. Probably before Jussie even came to them about this plan.
Lucy=Lucifer=Satan.
But the letter was not handwritten – it was made with words from magazine clippings.
Gabby looks cute in the first picture *thats all I got from this 900th post*
A lot of women said she would lose weight when she first came out, then they said she lost weight…..where? When? How?
In the Chicago PD’s press conference they said they bought the tickets after the crime, which is wild shot however you want to look at it. #1 If they were paid to do this, they’d have no reason to skip town #2 If they were paid to do this and they carried it out, what was the purpose of him paying them $500 more when they got back from Africa?
Their story sounds f*cked up. I’m beginning to think he didn’t have anything to do with it.
It’s not clear. The Nigerian’s story is sketchy asf. The Chicago PD calling the brothers “victims” is also sketchy. I think he’s getting played.
I believe the Nigerian brothers are setting him up. I just don’t know why.
Keep in mind, during the so-called attack they were masked and disguising their voices. It is possible that he didn’t know it was them. And, while the camera shows they bought red hats that night ..although, Jussie reported that he heard them say “This is MAGA country”, during his interview (with Robin) he adamantly denied ever saying they wore MAGA hats, and stated he didn’t need to say that to be the “cherry on top” of what he went through.
The Nigerian’s story has holes in it, and the Chicago PD is letting them off scott free with all the evidence stacked against them, not Jussie. It’s weird.
The details didn’t incriminate Jussie. Y’all are seeing what y’all want to see. The only details when the white officer stepped up with the timeline were only in every way they tracked the Nigerian brothers to the crime. The only thing that ties Jussie to this is speculation. What if they did this to him on their own, or for someone else? The fact that they seem to be getting out of this squeaky clean is a problem.
…and CBS reported that during the cops raid of the Nigerians’ home they found magazines – as if it were the magazines the clippings came from.
Phone records that you spoke to somebody before they did a crime isn’t evidence you were in on it. We don’t know what they talked about. Maybe that’s how they knew where he would be so they could attack him?? And they never said what was discussed in the text.
The stand out thing I heard during the press conference, was that the Chicago PD could only hold the brothers for 48 hours, but on the 47th hour they confessed, and they (the Chicago PD) said if they didn’t confess then they wouldn’t have a case.
All they have is the Nigerian’s word against Jussie’s, and that’s f*cked up, cause what if their attacked him on their own?
I don’t trust them either. They made a statement that they aren’t racist, homophobic, nor anti-Trump …yet, your confession is you did all of this for money. They’re getting out of this too clean. The Chicago PD call them “victims” whereas if this was all orchestrated by Jussie, then they are “accomplices” not victims.
Right, not only did they tell the cops what they wanted to hear. Before they got back from Africa, they could have been on the internet and read everything they needed to prepare their statement.
..but you don’t know what they were talking/texting about. If he thought these guys were his friends, he could have been talking to them casually before the attack and contacting them afterwards about the attack.
where are y’all getting these details? I listened to that long ass press conference and didn’t hear them state anything that wasn’t speculative.
I don’t know what video they saw. The timeline segment was just tracing the steps of the Nigerian brothers. It had nothing to do with Jussie, except that in closing they speculated (but stated as a fact) that he did this because he wanted more money from Empire. They didn’t state anything in the timeline – that they had an audio recording of, or that at xx:xx time he texted that he wanted more money, nor any type confession. The timeline segment was bogus, down to him calling the Nigerian brothers victims and trying to stand behind that statement.
A written check for $3500 doesn’t prove anything either. We don’t know for what services that check is for. My uncle has a personal trainer that he has paid to do other things for him. All they have is the Nigerian brothers’ word against Jussie, but all of the evidence ONLY stacks against them. And them claiming to have rehearsed it for weeks, but buying everything including the rope on the night of is questionable. How did they rehearse the attack without the rope? What about a 45 sec attack needed to be rehearsed?
The document you posted was a better timeline of events than the cops gave during the press conference. It’s still their word against his. We don’t know what he said for a minute and a half, nor what an 8 minute convo during their time in Africa was about. This only proves they spoke. A text asking to speak on the low could be about anything, when it’s the person you buy Molly’s from.
What if they did this, because they wanted to shake him up enough so he’d hire them as bodyguards? Crooked ni55as do that all the time.
I agree. They could have been searching the internet and knew they had been identified by surveillance, and like you said – played into the narrative that was already circulating (on the internet). All the evidence stacks against them, not Jussie. When the officer repeated “on the 47th” hour they confessed, when they would have had to release them on the 48th hour – that without the confession they wouldn’t have a case. That let me know they still don’t have a case. They just took their word for it. I don’t know if Jussie is guilty or not, but I don’t see him going down for this. There’s too many reasons to doubt he was behind this.
Even if the letter didn’t get the attention he allegedly wanted it to get, he could have just posted that shit on his instagram. It would have gotten attention then.
Not fully clothed at the temperatures on that evening, wearing ski masks, and disguising your voice to sound like someone who would be a MAGA supporter.
I actually believed he did stage the shit, until the brothers were released and the cops expressed their claims. Their story doesn’t add up at all. Meanwhile, Jussie could still claim to not have known they were his attackers, and there’s nothing I’ve heard that is strong enough for me to call him a liar at this point. Not even the check he wrote them. Funny, they say he was smart enough to ask them to appear somewhere without their cell phones, but he wasn’t smart enough to not write them a check as payment for a crime.
We don’t know what celebrities pay personal trainers. What if he paid them for a month’s worth of service? What if he paid them for an entirely different service? It’s not as odd as it seems. But it is odd that they claimed Jussie was cautious enough to ask them to meet him and not bring their cell phones (so it wouldn’t ping off of a tower), but he would pay them for a crime by check. How can that be explained?
The check wasn’t for a crime.
Their story has way too many holes in it. Either he did actually orchestrate this as a publicity stunt, or they wanted to scare him. I’m leaning towards they wanted to scare him.
Remember that Soulja Boy story of him getting robbed by masked men, and when he took the mask off of one of them he knew the person. They were masked when they attacked Jussie. He could always claim he didn’t know who they were, and the CHICAGO PD should be standing behind him, not them ….. but they (the Chicago PD) had the nerve to call the Nigerians “victims”. Bullshit.
Nah yo, I actually believed Jussie staged it until the cops released the brothers and the brothers made a statement to the media that they weren’t racist, homophobic, nor anti-Trump ………but they did all this. And to have Chicago PD trying to save face so bad that they called the brothers victims.
I’m not sure if he did do it or not, but what everyone is trippin about doesn’t prove that he did it at all. It just proves that THEY DID IT, and said he put them up to it……..which as stated by someone on here – is a narrative that was circulating online already. A narrative they were probably already aware of before they were picked up. Plus, outside of their confession the Chicago PD didn’t have a case…….so that means phone/text records, and items they obtained from the brothers apartment during the raid….NONE OF THAT was enough to build a case against Jussie. He might actually be innocent.
Yo know she jus want dat subway sammich https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/de4fecf987a117dfc50828e1eeb50b9ced857bc42999cec47f002f46b05684c2.jpg
Everybody knows yo be slow and on the down low
That’s why yo work at the Waffle House and not the Chicago PD
Yo weird
God,how retarded is yo?
How retarded are YOU?
How long IZ yo been a detective? Some people so tarded
Exactly. We’re being lured into a faux state of outrage and I do not understand why.
It’s insane how everyone is jumping to conclusions, and failing to think objectively. It’s not outrage. The public is enjoying this. They’re entertained by the narrative that this dude staged his own attack and got busted. That’s how they want this to end. At this point, like the Chicago PD, they’d rather he be guilty than be innocent, so much so that they’re not calling out the obvious red flags, and there are too many – which is why although I once thought he staged it, I’m beginning to see it differently.
Yep
Some of these ninjas on here clearly WANT Jussie to be innocent, to the extent they’re willing to ignore a mountain of evidence that points to his guilt. I’m not wasting my time trying to reason with these people any more.
First I am talking about the timeline The African American gave outside the court house second the GMA interview does incriminate him bc he said without a reason of a doubt the two men in the pic/video attacked him leaving no room for there to be other attackers. The cops tracked those two men down and they are far from white, they have video of them purchasing the items for the attack and a copy of the check. They have phone calls and text that support there findings. Certainly by looking at those two brothers if they had truly attacked him he would have had more than a little scare. It’s people like you that choose not to believe the evidence. If he is innocent what is his defense? Why hasn’t his lawyer responded to the timeline? Why hasn’t he held a press conference to try and clear his name? So at the end of the day the evidence supports the idea of a Hoax
I can spot familiar people far away…by gait, stature, and gut/spidey sense ?
And you are a cop and you do know. Gtfoh.
The part about him saying they were white does lean toward his guilt, unless they wore some sort of make up. I don’t remember the part of the interview, where he said they were white. I’m gonna go back to watch that again.
In this thread somewhere is a link to a document from a TMZ domain, which lists all the allegedly incriminating events of the supposed attack that lead to his charges and it didn’t mention that he gave a false description.
The only thing that supports their suspicion is the confession, because phone calls and text weren’t enough for them to have a case against him. They’re only going by the Nigerians’ word. The African American cop said he could only hold them for 48 hours and if he would have let them go he wouldn’t have a case, but on the 47th hour they gave a confession. This is what can’t be ignored, and the fact that all the needed was internet access in Africa to know that they had been spotted and were the only ones on the street,and needed a story. A neighbor could have informed them that they had been raided. Their word isn’t enough for me.
As far as the check, no one is saying anything is written on the check that indicates it’s for an attack. They make Jussie sound smart enough to ask them to appear someplace without their cell phones to hear his plan, but he wasn’t smart enough not to pay them by check for a crime? It doesn’t make sense.
HAHAHAHA!!! ok
Oh puhleeeaze.
No. I don’t know what they were talking about. Jussie “could be” guilty, but all we got is what the Nigerians’ are saying the convo was about – phone records aren’t actual audio recordings. Without their version of events, whatever phone records and texts the cops have aren’t incriminating enough to build a case. If they didnt confess, the cops said they would have had to let them go after 48 hours and wouldn’t have a case. They are taking their word for it. We haven’t heard Jussie’s explanation for the calls and texts.
Shit just don’t add up. Like, come listen to my plan and don’t bring your cell phones, but take this post dated check for your services. They told the cops what they wanted to hear, and they knew what they wanted to hear before they were detained at customs. It was all over the internet.
I give Jussie about a 20 percent probability that he had no idea of what was going on. The police have his phone records , which he erased or attempted to erase or alter asking for help from the Nigerians . That in itself is very suspect. So if they just did all of this to set him up it is vey weird . In addition it seems very weird they he couldn’t recognize their voices at all or their profiles . I just don’t buy it. It seems very weird , he could be telling the truth but it just seems unlikely.
None of the shit celebrities do makes sense. I dont worship them so they are not above deceiving the public for thier own gain.like al Sharpton and the rest of the race pimps I will use critical thinking and put them on mute. Chicago has enough going on and we don’t need another Watts. Black people should stop being blind to the manipulation of thier past struggles and be allowed to be free thinkers so we can evolve as humans. This race pimping is setting us back as a people. I glad for the leaks of info but sad that real victims of racism will be dismissed because of this hoax.
I’m sorry for late response. I live in the county but I work in the city and most of my friends are there still so I keep up with the news there. It was 14 shootings and 5 died. Maryland is out of control.
Lmbaooo thank you.
The city. I live in the county but it’s still disheartening because it’s starting to be everywhere. It actually turned out 14 and 5 dead.
Smart enough not to believe Jussie and you
?what an Einstein
I’m in southern Maryland, and I had no idea it was this bad!
I’m in southern Maryland, and I had no idea it was this bad!
About 2 fingers! Wanna smell?
The only part I do believe is that he didn’t pay them 3500 with a check to beat him up. No way would he do that. That check was for something else .
