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





CHICAGO (WLS) --
"Empire" actor Jussie Smollett has returned to work in Chicago after he said he was attacked last week in Chicago's Streeterville neighborhood.

Chicago police said Wednesday they have found additional video, but the new video does not show the alleged attack.


Police are looking at stores in the area to see if rope was purchased and by whom. Police said the rope found around Smollett's neck was similar to that used for a clothes line. Police also said they may question Smollett again in hopes of furthering the investigation.

Smollett told police he was walking alone in the 300-block of East North Water Street around 2 a.m. Jan. 29, on his way back from a nearby Subway restaurant, when he was beaten by two masked men, who poured a chemical on him. The chemical substance is believed to be bleach, but it is being confirmed by independent testing.
The men yelled racist and homophobic slurs at Smollett. He said the men also put a noose around his neck. In a later interview, he said they yelled "MAGA country" as they beat him, before running away.

The rope Smollett had around his neck when officers arrived at the high rise home he was in has been described as being like a "clothes line."

Brandon Z. Moore, Smollett's music manager, said he was on the phone with the actor when he heard some of the attack, and heard the words "MAGA country."

They will still play victim even if they're wrong. The gay activist of the past(like James Baldwin) was honest and had integrity and you could sympathize and respect them even if you don't support that lifestyle. They was just trying not to be victims of violent attacks and being discriminated against.

The gay activist of today are dishonest hyper radicalized mafioso bullies pushing a far left kooky loony toon agenda. They even trying to add pedos to their ranks:smh:.

Well said. I totally agree.
 
Well...

CHICAGO — Chicago police say they still need more information from actor Jussie Smollett who reported he was attacked two weeks ago.

Smollett said he was talking to his manager on his phone when two men yelled slurs, put a rope around his neck and hit him.

Investigators requested phone records from both men, but they were given a redacted document file and a cellphone screenshot of phone calls.

Police Supt. Eddie Johnson said this evidence was insufficient, and they will need more information. A representative for Smollett has not commented.

Meanwhile, the New York Post reports that an empty hot sauce bottle filled with a clear liquid was found near the scene of the reported attack, and that it smelled like bleach.

The Post turned the bottle over to Chicago police.

So ther one thing I will say is that he's smart and right to not give his phone to the Chicago cops. It came out that a gay activists gave his or her phone to the cops ad they used the info to start surveillance on other activists.

Chicago PD is the same department that had a off the books torture site ......why trust them at all?
 
The saddest part of this saga: just because some of us are having a hard time believing this story, we're somehow "anti-LBTQ", or whatever they're calling themselves these days. I don't have shit against gay people, I just don't believe this dude's story. To be honest, I still think he got trick rolled.
 
Well...

Normally,I don't say this but dude is a fucking liar.
 
I hope he's not lying. I'm skeptical but keeping an open mind and I wouldn't trust the CPD to investigate properly.....

IF... If he is lying though.... just why would he do that shit right now? I could maybe see the motive if he was a struggling actor/singer or if he was a has been looking to get back in the headlines... but although I don't like Empire; it is a hit show and he is a main character on it, so his career is doing pretty good at the moment.

11:20 AM PT
-- As for the redacted information, the rep says, "Any redacted information was intended to protect the privacy of personal contacts or high-profile individuals not relevant to the attack.



10:15 AM PT
-- A rep for Jussie tells us, "Jussie is the victim here, which has been stated by the Superintendent of Police. Jussie has voluntarily provided his phone records from within an hour of the attack and given multiple statements to police. Chicago PD has repeatedly informed us that they find Jussie's account of what happened that night consistent and credible."

The rep continues, "Superintendent Johnson has been clear from day one that Jussie is a victim. We are continuing to work closely with the Chicago PD and remain confident that they will find Jussie's attackers and bring them to justice."

Jussie Smollett's submitted critical phone records to Chicago police, but those records have been rejected because they're not the real deal.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... what Jussie turned in 2 weeks after his alleged attack was a heavily redacted PDF file of his phone bill. Our sources say a PDF is subject to manipulation, meaning numbers can be added or deleted, although police are quick to point out there's no evidence they were in fact manipulated. The problem ... the only solid, irrefutable evidence is either the actual phone bill or a download of Jussie's phone.

As we reported, Jussie says he was on the phone with his manager at the time of the attack and the manager says he heard the racial and homophobic epithets. Chicago PD wants the phone records to authenticate a call was made. They asked Jussie for the records 2 weeks ago and received the PDF Monday.

Police say there are cameras everywhere in the area of Jussie's building, but there is still a 60-second gap in the video where you don't see the "Empire" star. So far there's no video of the attack.

Our sources say police have also retrieved security video from nearby stores to see if anybody bought rope around the time of the incident. Police are reviewing the video.

Police say Jussie remains cooperative and they are treating him as the victim of a hate crime.

As you know, Jussie says his attackers tied a rope around his neck ... police say there's video of Jussie with a rope around his neck in the lobby. They are not saying if the rope is around his neck outside the building because they say that would interfere with the investigation.

I don't have shit against gay people, I just don't believe this dude's story. To be honest, I still think he got trick rolled.
Dude is full of shit, but the police have to be extra careful to get the right evidence to prove that he is full of it before they go public.

Why would this weirdo wear that noose for 45 minutes after he was assaulted. That makes not sense at all. It will all come out.

The police will paint him into a corner that he can't lie his way out of.

nah man - nobody rode for that idiot!
there was the initial news report
Then as soon as Brazil cops released his testimony- reporters were beach side giving each other side eyes- as the idiot fled the country
-36 hours later everyone was clowning him AND that was before the video dropped and he was forced to go back

What I will give you is that since then - media and companies continued to hire him and put him in TV shows etc to this day!
