Jussie Smollett, a young actor and singer who aspires to appear on several TV shows and at this time at the cast of Empire, was recently accused of attacking himself for the sake of self-promotion. Does he have enough clean wealth to support himself until his career recovered from Hit?
Born in Santa Rosa, California, Jussie Smollett is the third child of six children owned by her parents. He went to school in Paramus Catholic High School in Paramus, New Jersey. His father was a Jew, while his mother was an African-American.
Jussie began her acting career at the age of 10 years, with a role in the mighty duck. Two years later, he appeared in the north, directed by Rob Reiner. He and his five siblings, Jazz, Jocqui, Jake, Jojo, Jurnee, starred in ABC himself. This sitcom is short -lived and only aired for one season in 1995. After that, Jussie did not get another role until 2012, when he appeared in The Skinny. LGBT-themed films are directed by Patrik-Anian Polk. In the same year, he published his EP album, The Poisoned Hearts Club. He also appeared on the Mindy project in 2012 and Revenge in 2014.
His actual rest came in 2014 when he was given the role of Jamal Lyon on the Empire TV show. Jamal is a gay musician, trying hard to get recognition from his father and Smollett interpretation is described as innovative. He remained with the players for the following season and even directed the episode of the performance in the fourth season.
Black Smollett and Gay Open reported that he was attacked in Chicago in January. He said that two white men were wearing ski mask and Maga hat repeatedly kicked him and put the rope on his neck.
The Chicago Police Department opened an investigation of the incident, suspected racial crimes. TMZ then said that the attackers shouted “This is the Maga State!”, Which was confirmed by Smollett, even though he did not say that in his original statement. Smollett also said that the attackers poured unknown liquids on it during the attack. Chicago PD issued a statement that reads: “The violators began to beat the victim by hand about the face and poured a chemical that was unknown to the victim.”
Smollett was treated at the Northwestern hospital due to his wounds, the number of broken ribs and some laceration.
The attack received broad media attention, attracting great support for Smollett from many of his colleagues. The Democratic Senator and Presidential candidate Kamala Harris and Cory Booker said that the incident was a modern version of the death sentence without a court, even asking for a federal anti-shnching bill.
But when Chicago PD expanded their search for attackers, everything began to break down in a different direction. The police raided the houses of two suspects, found bleach and other items that could be used in the attack. The suspects in question are two brothers and sisters of Nigerian descent, who have worked as additional in the Empire set. After being asked at the station, both were released at no cost. They claimed that they knew Smollett formed a set and that they also went to the gym together.
Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said: “Because of new evidence as a result of today’s interrogation, the people who were questioned by the police in the Empire case have now been released without charging and detectives have additional investigation work to be completed.”
Then, the police said: “The police are investigating whether the two men are carrying out the attack – or whether the attack occurs at all.” A source in Chicago PD revealed that they are now investigating the claim that Smollett has paid $ 3,500 to the attackers suspected of holding all incidents. There is even a brother who bought a rope. If the accusation turned out to be true, Smollett might be in serious matters, because falsifying racial crimes is a serious problem sentenced to prison. That could mean ending his career.
