Ladies and gentlemen, they got ’em!
Actor Jussie Smollet from the hit ABC show Empire claimed that he was attacked by two racist White men, who beat him up, yelled gay slurs and “MAGA,” and hung a noose around his neck in the wee hours of January 29th in Chicago.
Celebrities and liberal politicians rallied behind him. But Americans with a brain were suspicious from the start — and our doubts grew with each new evasive action Smollet took in the two weeks since.
Well it turns out Chicago Police detectives didn’t believe him from the start, and now, according to sources, have revealed that the entire “racist attack” was a fraud engineered by Smollet himself.
From ABC7:
Multiple sources tell ABC 7 Chicago that Jussie Smollet and the 2 men who are being questioned by police staged the attack – allegedly because his character was being written out of the show Empire..
TMZ said Thursday that Chicago police not only brought Jussie Smollett in for additional questioning, but there are two other men being questioned as “persons of interest.”
One person of interest is another ‘Empire’ actor who flew into Chicago’s O’Hare airport late Wednesday night.
According to TMZ, Chicago police ID’d the two “persons of interest” by tracking their rideshare/taxicab records to track their locations on the night of the alleged MAGA polar vortex attack.
Smollett, 36, is black and openly gay.
CBS Chicago reporter Charlie De Mar said Thursday that police raided the home of the two persons of interest Wednesday night. Police took bleach, shoes, electronics and more. Both men are of Nigerian descent and appeared on the show ‘Empire.’
Stunning. So Smollet apparently hired two foreign national actors to pretend to attack him, in some kind of sick sympathy play to enhance his career!
But Chicago Police never fell for his bad acting.
Local crime reporters in Chicago claim the Chicago police were slow-playing the case to see if Jussie Smollett was telling the truth.
CWB previously reported that police already had Jussie Smollett’s complete phone records from the a tower data dump given by the phone provider.
When Smollett gave police “limited and redacted” phone records he downloaded on a PDF, all police had to do was look at the phone numbers he deleted — in other words, Jussie Smollett did the detective work for the investigators.
Chicago police tonight told 24News they “cannot confirm any of those reports.” No charges have been filed.
Stay tuned…we will report more on the bombshell development as the situation develops.
