I dont attack people and and I definitely dont rape people.

oh good, I am sure Terrance Howard is a great testimonial to attest and vouch for Jussie Smollett...

Did she handle it the best? No.

No. We know what happened. Everyone knows what happened. And if he does come forward and admits it. Where is all the apologies. Hypocrites. Everyone on these sites.

The investigation did have a lot of information leaks.  The police probably aren’t thrilled with having their time wasted with a fake hate crime report.

You wanted to believe him because you hate white people 

My guess is he wanted exposure. I’ve never heard of him until this scandal, so I guess it worked. Unfortunately for him, he was exposed, so now I’ll forever know him as the actor/singer/director/photographer who faked a hate crime.

The virtue of victimhood. 

Literally NOBODY is saying the story is fabricated “because he’s gay”. They’re saying it because IT’S CRAP! 2 AM, subzero windchill, and these “MAGA” guys are just out walking around with a half-assed noose and bleach, hoping to run into... who? A cast member of a hip hop soap opera who they recognize on sight?

That worked out well for him huh?  Police now saying the attack was staged... surprise, surprise... sucker.

Attack was staged, breaking now... stop with your fake outrage feuled by the fact that he suckered you and so many others with this staged attack, LOL.

Does reviewing hundreds of hours of footage not count as investigating?  Did they not ask for phone records since no other evidence proves that it happened?  If he really wants to catch them he could help more than going on a tour talking about taking on the fight.  

The cops are interviewing him and another Empire actor that they believe were at the scene right now. The Jig is up.

Lack of supportive comments here says everything you need to know about this story. The silence is deafening.

His version of events make absolutely no sense. I’m not saying he wasn’t attacked, but it’s all just so fucking bizarre.

The reality is probably that there is no such thing as an actionable red flag to the FBI or other law enforcement agencies. They always hide behind phrases like “not actionable” unless there is an explicit threat. It’s fucked up, but really asking law enforcement in the US to be proactive is a fool’s errand. They’re…

What was the FBI supposed to do, toss him into a black van and disappear him? Clearly the guy was a scumbag before this, but lots of people are scumbags. We don’t arbitrarily lock people up for being scumbags and we don’t, unfortunately, lock people up for making shitty music.

She apologized directly and personally to those who claimed to be harmed. Anyone else not a direct party to the original kerfuffle asserting a claim upon the apology is peddling pre-textual garbage to either feed a ghoulish voyeuristic need for moral flagellation or extend their pathetic unlife as a crass political…

If she had made the apology public, people would have called it a self-serving stunt to gain political capitol.

It makes it sound like they’ve got suspects of an actual crime. In reality these are just unidentified people seen walking in the area with no known connection to the alleged incident.
