This whole situation is so incredibly confusing and frustrating, I don't see how anyone is on his side at this point??
Awards are bullshit and always will be lol
If I wanted to see a bunch of people jacking off all over each other I'd just go to porn hub.
One far side seems to think he was never guilty and this whole criminal case against him was to smear him further and how he is completely vindicated in their eyes because his charges were dropped, the other opposite side seems to think some conspiracy about how he was helped by some top democratic obama aide? I'm not even shitting you
That's true, by the admission of the State's Attorney's Office in Cook County. https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-jussie-smollett-kim-foxx-records-20190313-story.html This was back when it labeled as a hate crime, then it was reported that the States Attorney recused herself from the investigation, but as of today Foxx says she never recused herself formally. But do note the conspiracy now is that it is Soros' doing, as he has money connected to Foxx.
As if it’s not bad enough he got away with it, now people are rewarding it?
This is the fourth consecutive year Smollett has been nominated in the Image Awards' Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series category. He previously won in that category in 2017 and has also nabbed three different music-related Image Awards for his work on "Empire," according to IMDb. He's been in attendance for the last three award shows he was nominated before the incident *
Do we live in a satire sketch? What the fuck is happening.
It's a pr move
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/chicago-mayor-rahm-emanuel-wants-jussie-smollett-foot-bill-police-n988466 Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Thursday on WGN Radio that the Chicago Police Department is still trying to finalize how much money was spent on police resources for the investigation and once that figure is determined it will be sent to the city's Corporation Counsel. "The Corporation Counsel, once they ... feel good about the numbers will then send a letter to Jussie Smollett and his attorneys trying to recoup those costs for the city," he explained. The actor's attorneys fired back at Emanuel saying in a statement Thursday that the mayor and police department owe Smollett an apology "for dragging an innocent man’s character through the mud." "Jussie has paid enough," his lawyers said. Yes.
even the state attorney admitted that they didn't exonerate him just because the charges were dropped, and the chicago police firmly believe the two brothers were telling the truth and smollett wasn't.
I could've sworn Smollett confessed to it a day before he turned himself in, no?? either way what the actual fuck is happening behind the scenes here
This is one of those situations where you can't trust either side because its essentially being flooded with rumor mill by sites like TMZ.
I have a friend who genuinely believes that he is innocent on the grounds that he is a gay black man and that's it. I don't look at race or sexual preference or anything when judging a person, but the evidence. Period.
I guess a bad image is still an image right?
Just a couple of updates, the Illinois Bar is saying the State's Attorney office screwed the pooch. https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/29/us/jussie-smollett-backlash-friday/index.html Prosecutors who dropped felony charges against actor Jussie Smollett over his report of a hate crime attack "have fundamentally misled the public on the law and circumstances surrounding the dismissal," an Illinois lawyers group said. The way Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx and her office resolved the case also was "abnormal and unfamiliar to those who practice law," wrote the Illinois Prosecutors Bar Association. and here's the letter that Cook County sent to Smollett telling him to pay the bill for wasting everyone's time. Finally, the President chimed in yesterday saying he will be the hero of the hour and have the FBI and DOJ look at the case, and Mayor Emanuel basically told him to fuck off and stay out of it, but with a much nicer tone.
