Battyman actor from Empire allegedly gets jumped in Chicago; Update: Arrested for filing fake report

What are you posting? Stop it.

Maybe he felt nobody would be outside lol

Who knows if this guy isn't even acting out his character in real life for all we know for sympathy and to move his career further :hmm::dunno::lol: We see how far he goes for attention.

 
Fucked up! :smh:

Y’all stay dangerous out here these cacs are acting up.



Nah he wanted to join them right this what he gets

They want to attack the black men like but white man are the true enemies

I couldn't help but laugh at the title either, y'all motherfuckers ain't shitt, lol

But for real for real. It doesn't matter if you don't like a motherfuckers lifestyle or you don't like a certain race, there ain't no place for this.

Empire got too gay so I stopped watching it, like many people. It started about good music and lost it's way. I tried to support because it was Black TV, but I was inundated with gay shit, so I stopped. But to attack a motherfucker cuz he gay, put a noose around his neck? Nah, man.

Fuck these MAGA bastards. It could have been any one of us they ran up on. I don't walk many places but you better believe I'm going to be holding at least a knife everywhere I go since I don't have a gun

It's funny yall calling him fag, batty boy and what have you while a lot yall undercover and sucking dick and niggas in the ass. So stop with this bullshit. He's still a human and his sexuality shouldn't bother you no more than yall fucking fat white or non-black girls should bother sisters. RKelly asses in here.

Now about the actual attack...something sounds suspect. I just pray this isn't some made up for attention because we all dislike 45 so much.

He's Black first, Gay second. Thread title is fucked up. Sexual orientation aside, no Black man should have to be assaulted like this.

Shame this happened to him if true.

Sounds like Tawana Brawley 2.0, but i think dude is too smart for that (hope so).

I'll wait for the facts instead of going down the internet investigation path for a 2nd time this month (club rape being #1).

Hope homie is okay. Regardless of what he does in his personal time, no one deserves that shit.



I don't know dude, couldn't pick him out of a crowd. Never saw Empire and don't know his work.

When I saw this story, I saw a Black man who was assaulted. A Black man who is also Gay.

I don't know nor do I care if he expresses himself as Black first, then Gay, nor does it matter.

Nor do I think it matters to the CACs who assaulted him.

Does it matter to you? If so, why?

I really don’t see how you can argue against someone who is both Black and Gay if this is their experience.

I really can’t get mad if this is how they feel. Only they know their own experience.

How is a gay agenda offensive to you?? like seriously u niggas concentrate on them more than you should; who gives a flying fuck about the gay agenda if one isnt gay??? I dont notice any gay agenda push because I dont pay attention to it; it affects me none, so why does it affect you?? if you are not gay???

First 3 pages :hmm:
 
You only do something this ludicrous because you think it will go viral.

Im just surprised he was stupid enough to double down and go on GMA this week talking tough.. I just smh when he was talking that "if they were muslim, mexican, etc..." nonsense. This guy is in trouble.


@exiledking , come get your medicine.

I'm watching this now. Dude really got on his high horse condemning people who didn't believe and questioned his story. :smh:
 
Dude is going to go from a national network drama series to MAYBE being able to do a mattress commercial for Bubba's BBQ and Bedding....:lol:

What a fucking drama queen ass fag.
:roflmao::roflmao2:

If it's actually true and he is lying...he better had saved that Empire money
 
Robin needed to hand him a tissue for all those fake tears. They were really flowing at the end. He was going to win his academy award :crying:
 
Fam you should have know that shit was ducktales from off the rip

Jussie Smollett's Lawyers Deny EmpireStar 'Played a Role in His Own Attack,' as Investigation Takes New Direction

Lawyers for Jussie Smollett have refuted claims that the Empire star orchestrated his own attack on Jan. 29, as suggested by Saturday news reports and after the Chicago PD said the investigation was heading in a new direction.

CNN on Saturday cited CPD sources as saying that Smollett paid two Nigerian brothers, the persons of interest questioned this week by police, to help him stage the attack, which had originally been described as racist and homophobic.

Later on Saturday, Chicago PD communications director Anthony Guglielmi said, “We can confirm that the information received from the individuals questioned by police … has in fact shifted the trajectory of the investigation. We’ve reached out to the Empire cast member’s attorney to request a follow-up interview.” Our sister site Deadline meanwhile quoted a source as saying “the new direction of the investigation is now based on the premise that Mr. Smollett was an active participant in the incident.”






The statement from Smollett’s lawyers, issued late Saturday evening, said, “As a victim of a hate crime who has cooperated with the police investigation, Jussie Smollett is angered and devastated by recent reports that the perpetrators are individuals he is familiar with. He has now been further victimized by claims attributed to these alleged perpetrators that Jussie played a role in his own attack. Nothing is further from the truth and anyone claiming otherwise is lying.”

One of the aforementioned persons of interest is said to have worked as an extra on Empire, while Smollett’s lawyers confirmed that one of the men worked as Smollett’s trainer for a music video. Both were released by police on Friday without charges.

“It is impossible to believe that this person could have played a role in the crime against Jussie or would falsely claim Jussie’s complicity,” said the lawyers’ statement.

On Thursday, in the wake of local Chicago news reports suggesting the attack was a hoax, the Chicago PD said that that theory was “unconfirmed by case detectives” and that Smollett was still being considered a victim.
 
Jussie Smollett no longer considered a victim in case, Chicago police say

Jussie Smollett



A Chicago police spokesperson on Saturday said "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett is no longer considered a victim in the case that allegedly involved an attack by two masked men who shouted racial and anti-gay slurs at the actor and, "This is MAGA country!"

Police earlier said that the "trajectory of the investigation" shifted and that they wanted to conduct another interview with Smollett about the alleged hate crime last month. Police released two Nigerian brothers who were held for questioning about the reported attack. They were released late Friday without charges.

"We can confirm that the information received from the individuals questioned by police earlier in the "Empire" case has in fact shifted the trajectory of the investigation," Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement. "We've reached out to the Empire cast member's attorney to request a follow-up interview."

'EMPIRE' STAR JUSSIE SMOLLETT RECOUNTS ALLEGED HATE CRIME AS CHICAGO POLICE ID PERSONS OF INTEREST

The men were arrested Wednesday night after investigators tracked their movement on surveillance cameras in the area where Smollett said the attack occurred. Smollett, who is black and openly gay, said he was attacked by two masked men on Jan. 29 as he was walking home from a Subway restaurant.

Police have said they were investigating the attack as a possible hate crime and earlier considered Smollett a victim. Reports of the assault drew outrage and support for him on social media, including from U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris of California and TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.



Smollett said he was cooperating with police and gave an emotional speech during a concert in West Hollywood, California, on Feb. 2 saying that he went ahead with the show because he couldn't let his attackers win.


Smollett also gave an interview to Robin Roberts of ABC News that aired Thursday, saying that he was "pissed" at people who did not believe he was attacked.


"I've heard that it was a date gone bad, which I also resent that narrative," he said. "I'm not gonna go out and get a tuna sandwich and a salad to meet somebody. That's ridiculous. And it's offensive."

BREAKING… As Chicago police declare a significant shift in “the trajectory of the investigation” of the alleged attack on Jussie Smollett nearly three weeks ago, the attorneys for the Empire star has come out swinging tonight in his defense.

Jussie Smollett Viewed As 'Active Participant' By Cops In Alleged Assault




“As a victim of a hate crime who has cooperated with the police investigation, Jussie Smollett is angered and devastated by recent reports that the perpetrators are individuals he is familiar with,” said defense lawyers Todd S. Pugh and Victor P. Henderson in a statement obtained by Deadline.

He has now been further victimized by claims attributed to these alleged perpetrators that Jussie played a role in his own attack,” the Chicago-based attorneys add of the supposed assault in the early hours of January 29. “Nothing is further from the truth and anyone claiming otherwise is lying.” (READ THE FULL STATEMENT BELOW)





Earlier Saturday, a law enforcement official close to the Chicago PD probe told Deadline that “the new direction of the investigation is now based on the premise that Mr. Smollett was an active participant in the incident.” CNN also reported sources in the department telling the cable newser today that the actor, who plays the openly gay Jamal Lyon on the hit Fox drama, “paid two men to orchestrate the assault.”

This picks up on the release by authorities late last night of Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo, who police previously described as “potential suspects.” With one of the brothers having appeared on Empire as an extra three seasons ago, the remarks by Smollett’s lawyers now claim that one of the duo was the actor’s “personal trainer” for a music video he was set to perform in.

Arrested on Wednesday, but never charged in what police once referred to a potential “hate crime,” Osundairo brothers have been confirmed by authorities as the two individuals who are seen in the photographs of someone around Smollett’s Chicago apartment that January 29 morning.

Amidst strongly denied rumors that the attack was staged because Smollett was being written off Empire, the siblings are also said to have been the ones to purchase from a local hardware shop the rope that was strung over the actor’s neck by his supposed assailants during the allegedly racist and homophobic fueled attack.

Later this evening Chicago PD spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said “we can confirm that the information received from the individuals questioned by police earlier in the Empire case has in fact shifted the trajectory of the investigation.” He went on to add “we’ve reached out to the Empire cast member’s attorney to request a follow-up interview.”

“Jussie and his attorneys anticipate being further updated by the Chicago Police Department on the status of the investigation and will continue to cooperate,” asserted the statement from Henderson and Pugh tonight in direct response to accusations of self staging of the attack and more interaction with the Windy City cops.

Sitting down with Good Morning America on February 14 in his first interview since whatever truly happened on January 29, Smollett bluntly said he thought the attack occurred because of his consistent slagging of Donald Trump. “I come really, really hard against 45,” the actor told GMA co-host Robin Roberts. “I come really, really hard against his administration, and I don’t hold my tongue.”





Well, be it Smollett, the Chicago PD, the lawyers, the Osundairo brothers or some as yet unknown party, the rising sentiment clearly is that someone’s not telling the whole story here. Or as Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Terry Crews put it so well on social media today:




After offering repeated support for Smollett the past three weeks, so far Empirebroadcaster Fox has been silent the past 24 hours as the story seems to be snowballing out of control for all concerned.

READ THE FULL STATEMENT FROM JUSSIE SMOLLETT’S ATTORNEYS HERE:

As a victim of a hate crime who has cooperated with the police investigation, Jussie Smollett is angered and devastated by recent reports that the perpetrators are individuals he is familiar with. He has now been further victimized by claims attributed to these alleged perpetrators that Jussie played a role in his own attack. Nothing is further from the truth and anyone claiming otherwise is lying.

One of these purported suspects was Jussie’s personal trainer who he hired to ready him physically for a music video. It is impossible to believe that this person could have played a role in the crime against Jussie or would falsely claim Jussie’s complicity.

Jussie and his attorneys anticipate being further updated by the Chicago Police Department on the status of the investigation and will continue to cooperate. At the present time, Jussie and his attorneys have no inclination to respond to “unnamed” sources inside of the investigation, but will continue discussions through official channels.
