    Anyone been keeping up with this story?

    Black, gay actor on Empire claimed he was the victim of a homophobic racist attack in which he had a noose tied around his neck and bleach poured over him. Claims it was two white men in MAGA hats who were shouting stuff about Trump and racist and homophobic abuse.

    Police found the two men ‘responsible’ for the attack and they’re actually Nigerian, and work with Smollett on Empire and one was his Personal Trainer or something. They’re claiming Smollett actually paid them to set up the attack and that Smollett actually bought the stuff used in the attack and they even rehearsed the attack days before it happened.

    Police are now wanting to speak to Smollett and are bringing it to a Grand Jury having released the suspects without charge.

    Story is * mental.

    It’s a completely fabricated story and is in itself racist. Absolutely pathetic.

    Faking a news story in order to cause outrage and offense is what Trump and his racist followers normally do, this is just fighting fire with fire imo.

    Hope to see more of this from the black gay acting community. Hopefully with some better actors next time.

    To be fair and I know nothing about what is true or not true with this but you cannot trust a word from the Chicago police department. They are horrendous. Over the last 10 years they have had to pay out about $50 million a year roughly to settle police misconduct cases which include murders carried out by the police.

    He’s been officially classified as a suspect for filing a false police report.

    Thanks for posting that. I must admit I have not followed the story much. Sounds like the whole thing is getting more and more crazy and that the Smollett guy may indeed be responsible. We will see I guess. I still though have no trust and or respect for the police here in Chicago. They are corrupt to their very core.

    No bother mate, I was thinking like you until I seen someone bring up the Chicago PD having no real horse in the race then seen Trevor Noah explain it perfectly.

    I’d never even heard of the guy before.
    Seems to be a well known activist and friendly with people Kamala Harris. If he has set himself up then the fallout will be insane.

    The fact they released the brother without charge and are going after Smollett says they must at least have some hard evidence of him working with the brothers though.
