On Thursday, former "Empire" star Jussie Smollett was found guilty on five out of six charges in his hate crime hoax case, which took place nearly three years ago.
Smollett declared that he was attacked by two men in MAGA hats who beat him up, poured bleach on him, and put a noose around his neck. He maintained that the alleged attack was both anti-gay and racist, and that it was carried out by Trump supporters.
However, that was far from the truth.
Breitbart reports:
The verdict came after a roughly one-week trial in which two brothers testified that Smollett recruited them to fake an attack on him near his home in downtown Chicago in January 2019. Smollett repeatedly denied the claims. The brothers said Smollett orchestrated the hoax, telling them to put a noose around his neck and rough him up in view of a surveillance camera, and that he said he wanted video of the hoax made public via social media.
Smollett called the brothers “liars” and said their account was “100% false. He testified over two days about being the victim of what he said was a hate crime, telling the jury ”there was no hoax.”
Abimbola Osundairo, who worked with Smollett on the Chicago set of “Empire,” and his brother, Olabingo Osundairo, also testified that Smollett paid them $3,500 for faking the attack. Smollett said the money was for meal and workout plans that Abimbola Osundairo was providing so the actor could be more toned for upcoming performances.
The Jan. 29 assault was reported to police, prompting a massive investigation that a lead detective said included some two dozen officers and 3,000 staff hours. The investigation — which included video from surveillance cameras, GPS and taxi and rideshare records — led police to the Osundairo brothers, who told detectives Smollett had staged the alleged hate crime.
And the truth comes out! The truth will always prevail. I hope Smollett rots in his jail cell and has plenty of time to think about the disgusting division he caused.
