CHICAGO, ILLINOIS – MARCH 10: Jocqui Smollett, the brother of former “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett, speaks to the press at the Leighton Criminal Courts Building after his brother was sentenced to jail on March 10, 2021 in Chicago, Illinois. Jussie Smollett was found guilty late last year of lying to police about a hate crime after he reported to police that two masked men physically attacked him, yelling racist and anti-gay remarks near his Chicago home in 2019. He was sentenced to 150 days in jail, 30 months probation, ordered to pay $120,000 restitution to the city of Chicago and fined $25,000.
