Jussie Smollett Updates Part Six

Dedicating the first post to our boo Rob

OP, I tried to hold out but I can't.

I have a question concerning the "Threat Letter".

If somebody handled the Tylenol with bare hands and crushed it to powder, could forensic scientists pull DNA off of it?

Ok to be here bc problems to post on 5 on iPhone

R2 I don't know, that's a good question. Jussie would likely be dumb enough not to wear gloves. Maybe one of our science minded members can weigh in?

Messy Mussie: The Jussie Smollett Story

[quote]Mark the tone of absolute certainty about an unconfirmed claim. Many other news outlets took the same tack. “Celebrities, lawmakers rally behind Jussie Smollett in wake of brutal attack,” reported ABC News. “Jussie Smollett Performs at Troubadour Just Days After Chicago Attack: ‘I Had to Be Here Tonight,’ ” read a Los Angeles Times headline. Many commenters linked the alleged attack to larger alleged sicknesses: “The racist, homophobic attack on Jussie Smollett is far-right America’s endgame,” tweeted GQ, in a sentiment echoed by many others.

[quote]Possibly it might be wise to establish whether an incident actually happened before leaping to conclusions about it. Remember Covington? Oh, right, that was almost a whole month ago.

It would be great if journalism would go back to investigating and verifying before taking a line on a story. Jussie is fucked up and an asshole but the loss of real journalism has harmed this country in so many ways and we need to get its integrity back.

Could anyone this hot be guilty of THAT?

[quote]the loss of real journalism has harmed this country in so many ways and we need to get its integrity back.

Real journalism in the mainstream media was on life support after the JFK assassination. It died forever on 9/11.

What Jussie did is a drop in the bucket compared to the "Saddam has WMDs" hoax perpetrated by the Neo-cons and their pals in the media.

Something Jussie probably NEVER thought of that posters are doing on various sites is pointing out that his mother shares the same last name with Kamala Harris.

It's not hard to see the conspiracies that are going to spring from that...

[quote]It would be great if journalism would go back to investigating and verifying before taking a line on a story.

We still have that kind of journalism. It's just that we now also have a proliferation of cable "pundits" and social media "influencers" who are not bound by journalistic ethics. And us common folk pay more attention to them than the journalists who are careful to to say "alleged" and "no proof as of yet."

Jessie's racial lie would make Hitler proud. Terrence Howard on ABC calling Americans "hyenas." These kids better wake up.

It was the local journalist that kept this story alive and kept digging for the facts R6.

In case anyone (like me) was looking for the Empire writer who said Rob Elgas should be fired, here it is (before it's deleted)

[quote] All I know is, @RobElgasABC7 needs to be out of a job. There’s irresponsible journalism, and then there’s what he and @ABC7Chicago did tonight — emboldening the haters. I have written on Empire from day one and no one EVER discussed writing Jussie off. EVER. KNOCK IT OFF

R14 nnn

This story is just insane!

Jussie on CNN: Fake Noose meets Fake News

Maybe it’s performance art. Our reactions to it matter more than it.

The conspiracy people are going nuts. Currently, yes, they are using his actions to chip away at Harris. She passed legislation making lynching a federal crime. Smollett's mother's name is also Harris, hardly an obscure surname, AND he was at a rally supporting this legislation. So, obviously this was Ms. Harris', (Senator, D. California), fault, and blah blah blag MAGA bitches!

*When something like this or a shooting happens, I like to check in with them so I know what the trolls will be hitting us with in advance.

Who are the conspiracy people, R19. According to Jussie's hunky accomplices, he was the ring-leader of a conspiracy.

Apologies for R19.I did not realize the other was not near maxed out when this one was created.

I look at reddit's conspiracy forum, and another on my alma mater's forums, as the posts are very similar. These are discussions on the conspiracy of the act and the reporting of said act. I am afraid I don't know anything deeper than what I've posted- I don't actually agree with their nonsense often.

Remember when we were all just racists and conspiracy theorists for doubting Smollett?

I bet Jussie wishes he could wind back the clock three weeks to when he still had a good reputation and a promising career.

[quote]. Smollett's mother's name is also Harris,

Give it up, concern troll at r19. Literally no one anywhere except you is suggesting that Kamala Harris and Jussie's mother are related.

They are not even from the same state

R23 From the tone of his statement via his lawyers, he doesn't seem to care. He's such a fucking cunt.

I belong to a number of biracial/mixed racial forums out of the US, Europe and Canada. Basically members share about how they feel at a loss for representation. In the US forums how no one ever considers their pov. Focus is mostly about being grateful for having such a large selection of favorable traits. Positive spins mostly.

Jussie's betrayal seems a double kick in the teeth to the long term members. They have more than one dog in this fight. Last night's revelation has kicked off an absolute firestorm in the black/jewish combo threads. Mods are working overtime.

Learned that non jewish white people and asians consider jews to be dummies in general. All pointing to Israel as proof of a land with no accomplishments. Others claiming jews stick together because they're dumb yet conniving. Others saying jews use education to compensate for lack of common sense and to legally steal from their host countries. It's crazy! The DNA result threads are now at a standstill where they were all buzzing and garnering most hits and replies. The Americans and Brits are losing their shit!

The whole world is reacting!

Jussie went and done did it. One single man! That's actually quite powerful.

R24, I was not suggesting shit. I was reporting what I am seeing on the forums where many of our trolls obtain their talking points.

The only conspiracy I see is the one created in the mind of a very hot but mentally ill man.

I think Jussie is probably loving all the attention r23. He is the one who decided to do this.

I wonder how long he planned it and when he started to concoct this farce.

Hang in there Jussie, don't listen to the haters!

Which was better this or Charlie Sheen's Infamous meltdown? How to spell take a nap

do you think he reads these threads?

Even the anthropological forums are alight with Jussie's stunt. Ditto for gene studies sites looking to sleuth cures for inherited diseases among the US population re: malaria resistance, cholesterol, alcoholism and sickle cell. The miscellaneous and other topic sections are getting serious action concerning Jussie's clown ass stunt. New political threads are popping up on these pure science sites like it is going out of style.

Powerful!

I can't stand this smug bitch. Make another flop and stop inserting yourself in the conversation.

"Inconsistencies?" Really?

[quote] [R24], I was not suggesting shit. I was reporting what I am seeing on the forums where many of our trolls obtain their talking points.

Link or it never happened, r28. My guess is that you ARE suggesting it (or trying to prompt others to do so, anyway) because I don't believe you actually saw it suggested on another forum; I think the idea originated with YOU.

Fuck that cunt, Ava Du Vernay. She's no friend to us.

Why is believing the story of not one, but two black guys racist?

This is the lead story on MSNBC right now and #JussieSmollettHoax has been trending on Twitter all day. Filing a false police report is a class 4 felony and that threatening letter is a whole separate matter that the FBI is investigating. This fool is in a world of legal trouble and the publicity firestorm is getting bigger by the hour.

[quote]We still have that kind of journalism. It's just that we now also have a proliferation of cable "pundits" and social media "influencers" who are not bound by journalistic ethics.

It was local Chicago journalists who were both circumspect and responsible at the same time they were ahead of everyone else on the story.

Supporting good local journalism is the best way to support journalism.

Everything's been a hoax since the moon landing.

Can we just have *one* of these twitter disasters admit they were wrong? Just one?

The Daily Mail must be in Seventh Heaven! They LIVE for shiz like this. The Fail takes great glee in using, manipulating and duping gullible black Americans into believing US non blacks have it in for fellow black citizens. That's a sin.

Jussie committed a sin. Literally a crime against humanity. We can't let him nor his political supporters slide.

Treasonous in such a crucial time when the media has curated false racial tensions to up their site's hit count.

I'd like to hear Ava DuVerney answer for the Rawandan genocide. Is that what she wants to do to Americans?

If the below post from LSA is true, JS's high powered attorney has already dropped him.

From LSA: Monico is no longer representing #JussieSmollett. Per @RoeConn“A source with direct knowledge says there was a disagreement about the decision to release yesterday’s statement. He is now represented by Chicago attorneys Victor Henderson and Todd Pugh”

Datalounge - you were right.

So the Chicago local CBS station reported that the rope was bought at a hardware store on Lawrence Ave. (I grew up not far from there.) And the 2 red hats were bought near by as well..

You guys said up front that this was a hoax. Well done.

I don't think he has enough money, honestly, to afford that attorney-- what a mess!!!

On Friday, Monico confirmed he was Jussie's attorney "at the moment" on Saturday, Jussie's rep denied that he hired Monico. Jussie is a fucking disaster.

Will Messy Jussy apologize?

[quote] I don't think he has enough money, honestly, to afford that attorney-

If the post at r44 is to be believed, it sounds like the problem was that Jussie failed to follow the attorney's advice regarding yesterday's statement (and I'm sure that advice was "Don't make the statement! Stop digging yourself in deeper!")

This is crazy how many stories have been published about this person--it's like a snowball rolling down a hill-- just crazy!! Although he f'd up big time, I hope he doesn't do something stupid like kill himself- but the story so bizarre god know what will happen!!

R14 the writer won’t delete his tweet. He’s working the “well we weren’t writing him out” angle. All the other points about the lies, etc. he just ignores.

R34, Ava has a point, but clearly Jussie set this up. This is not a hill she should die on.

I was a reading a comment on one of the message boards, and the poster was an 'astrologer' and they looked at Jussies 'chart' and said... Hmm no no no, aint looking good for Jussie, he 'loves' drama and this was definitely something fabricated ... based on his natal and transits happening now... fwiw.

do you think this will be a roadmap to a future racist, homophobic attack? like, will someone think "i'll actually do what he pretended happened to him?"

Yeah, because it was so well thought out, R54.

Where's the weed and pizza?

these hungry greedy bitches smoked it all and ate the pizza and everything else under the sun, right down to your very own asshole

You are very odd R57. Just sayin!

Can someone who is also cynical, intelligent, and been following this story from the beginning kindly get me up to date in as few bullet points as possible please? I’ve been avoiding these threads and just seeing a few headlines as long as I could - but when I saw the update yesterday that cops think he could have paid to have it arranged - well now I’m in!!! But 6 threads - I can’t....

Pretty please DL??

I've lived in predominantly black and immigrant neighborhoods for years, and yes, I do know what that says about me. I've already been told by "liberal" people. I'm trash, I'm shit, I don't deserve to be seen in public. I do know exactly what is going on. I had never heard of this "star" or this show prior to this incident. He's such a hero! Can't wait to hear more from people like him. They're such crusaders! As long as the $$$, political, and social stature agree!!! They are such heroes! And people irl buy it.

I'm fed up with these people. I'm done with anything from Hollywood. done with anything that doesn't come from my own backyard and my own experience.

r49 To be fair, what kind of attorney would tell his or her client to NOT talk about their case in the press??

R59, no you lazy bitch. Go Google it and find out for yourself.

I hope you're joking, r59.

R38 Lead story on CNN too. Someone has to make a statement at this point. Lee Daniels, Fox, someone.They can’t just keep ignoring it because it’s blowing up all over the twitterverse and cable news. Where’s Kamala? Booker? Can’t wait for Don Lemon to weigh in tomorrow night.

Lol

Ummm, R61, the type of attorney that is aware he keeps contradicting and implicating himself. Mary, think about it!!

[quote] [R49] To be fair, what kind of attorney would tell his or her client to NOT talk about their case in the press??

As you noted, they all would, but what's your point? I was simply suggesting that Jussie's attorney dropped him for refusing to heed that advice (rather than Jussie getting a new attorney because he can't afford Monico).

R59, you are up to date- that is the latest version of the alleged story-- until Jussie admits it we're just going back and forth with the same shit (although the black 'personal trainers' we are not so sure Jussie didn't pay for sex).

r59 Lazy bitch! I hate people like you. Google is a click away... always want to do the least, and expect people to bring all the info to you in the package you like. Ugh.

Has buzzfeed found a narrative yet ?

[quote]Ummm, [R61], the type of attorney that is aware he keeps contradicting and implicating himself. Mary, think about it!!

You need to read r61's signature line; you're in agreement.

Okay, I'll be kind to R59.

Jussie Smollett, actor on tv show Empire, claims two men attacked him while he was getting food at two in the night in freezing temperatures. He said they poured bleach on him, put a noose around his neck, punched him and called him a Empire faggot nigger and said "this is MAGA country". There was never any video footage of the attack recovered, and somehow his phone (that he was speaking on at the time), and his sandwich survived the attack unscathed. His own injuries were two small scratches on his face. He also failed to call the cops right after the attack and still had the noose around his neck when they arrived at his apartment 45 minutes later.

Now it turns out the perps were actually two Nigerian friends of his that he hired to "attack" him. One of them appeared as an extra on Empire. The Nigerian friends have confessed.

You know HOW MANY OP -EDS, and so many thesis's I have read about poor poor Jessie and the daily lynchings LGBQT Minority men go through. lol

Hoaxes are so harmful to real victims and the prospect of real change.

To add to R71, the nigerian dudes are body builders. If they were in fact to punch you in the face, you would land on next Thursday... not with a little scratch.

thesis's = theses.

[quote] “I turned around and I see the attacker masked and he said: ‘This Maga country [bleep]’ and punched me right in the face so I punched his ass right back. We started tussling and it was very icy, we ended up tussling by the stairs, fighting, fighting, fighting.” A second attacker, Smollett said, started kicking him in the back.

Years ago an acquaintance of mine was gay-bashed by two guys in a similar fashion. He lost an eye, his front teeth and had several surgeries because of internal injuries.

And this trick expects us to believe that he came out of this with a tiny scrape on his cheek and was able to dance in concert a few days later?

Kick him in the fucking balls Taraji the next time he’s on the set - IF he ever is on the set again!

Why should we listen to Ava? She took a lot of artistic license with Selma with her fabrication.

Is it wrong that I’d really like to have a three some with those two Nigerian bros?

Ava is a bigot. She needs to stop promoting hate. She has no grace.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R79 it would be wrong if you didn't.

[quote]Has buzzfeed found a narrative yet ?

When Social Experiments Get Real: How One Brave Actor Orchestrated an Attack to Prove Beyond a Shadow of a Doubt That Society Disbelieves Victims

Lol AVA blocked me on twitter. lmao :)

[quote]Can someone who is also cynical, intelligent, and been following this story from the beginning kindly get me up to date in as few bullet points as possible please?

• Jussie claimed attack

• Jussie lied

• Jussie in biiiiig trouble

R79, not at all. I’ve been wanting to get fucked by both of them (vigorously and for hours) ever since I saw their pic.

Scroll down to the first comment for a laugh.

Donald Trump, Jr.:

They actually REHEARSED it so they could create the most outrage and stoke as much hate as possible?!? Terrible.

From TMZ:

[quote]A grand jury will hear the Jussie Smollett case early next week ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ. Law enforcement sources connected to the investigation tell TMZ, the 2 brothers who were arrested and then released are staying somewhere around the Loop in downtown Chicago under the watchful eye of police so no one gets to them. We're told cops especially want to make sure Jussie does not contact the brothers.

[quote]Our sources say early on they asked Jussie if he'd sign complaints against the 2 men who attacked him and he was clear that he would. But, when he found out the 2 brothers were the ones in custody we're told he said he knew them, felt bad for them and declined to sign the complaints.

Oh, Jussie!

[R85]

You forgot one important bullet point:

- The Tuna Sandwich was real.

And the salad

Ignored as usual.

And the salad, dammit.

R59, here is your synopsis

r59, r71 To add to this recap, we still have the "threatening letter with white powder" sent to Jussie (also mailed by jussie?) that the FBI is investigating. No reporting on this yet, but given the rest of the story...

Pretty much~!

R84, what did you say? I want to see if she'll block me too.

Update2: Smollett's management team has reportedly retained the services of Anne Kavanaugh, whose Chicago firm MediaPros24/7 provides several media services including *crisis management*.

Here R59. Posted in Part Three, except it turns out it wasn't an Ace Hardware, but a "you can't make this shit up" place called the Crafty Beaver where the rope for the "noose" was bought.

Please god let his trial be televised! It has everything: insane D list celebrity with an asshole name, hot as fuck Nigerian dudes who have brought Google to its knees as we continue our search for nudes of them, world's lamest threat letter with that utterly darling backward "L" (it's the little things), middle of the night (was it 2AM or 12AM who knows, who cares, it's just going to change again anyway) sandwich run in sub zero temperatures, Subway tuna sandwich wrapper (he really should have gotten the meatball, his biggest mistake in a very long list), the salad living in the tuna's shadow, a statement necklace in the form of a noose (shout out to Ace Hardware!), hospital selfie complete with poor widdle me eyes and an owie the size of a postage stamp (those BEASTS!),redacted phone records given to the police which made their job that much easier (Jussie puts the J in genius), Rob Elgas' awkward Twitter profile pic (sweet Jesus, change that fucking photo, Rob), scrubbed social media (he really should have deleted that smug as fuck Twitter bio while he was at it), famous criminal defense attorney who's most notable client is in the clink...The list is growing by the hour. I LOVE IT! MARY! MARY! MARY! MARY! MARY!

Oh my gosh, they’ve already moved into the crisis management team phase of this! It’s all happening very quickly. I agree with whoever above said this feels reminiscent of the halcyon day’s of the Soft Butch Sous Chef threads (which are absolute DL classics - I would buy and read a bound version of them).

Oh yeah, and the famous criminal defense attorney quit (or according to Jussie, who never lies, wasn't hired in the first place.

r97... lol She made a tweet that she wont take the CPD word for anything because of X Y Z, in which I stated, Gurl bye!!! it didnt need any official word from CPD to see this 'case' had holes in it from the beginning, that the knee jerk reaction of emotion the second the news broke, keep that same energy now, etc etc... then something like Wrinkle in Time sucked... haha lies on the last part. hehe

I bet JS shrieks like Doctor Smith when he goes into panic mode.

From Page Six, not that this is relevant.... The bodybuilding brothers who Jussie Smollett reportedly paid to stage a racist and homophobic attack on him both declared bankruptcy two years ago.

Newly unearthed court documents show budding model-actors Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo both filed for bankruptcy in Illinois in September 2016 — with each declaring large students loans and very little income at the time.

Abimbola reported $161,481 in debt, including $85,475 in student loans, while only making $160 a month — while his brother claimed he had $72,771 in liabilities, including $39,114 in student loans, and made just $142 a month.

Both reported being part-owners of a party supply store, but said it was operating at a loss.

The brothers were arrested Wednesday after Smollett reported being assaulted by two men shouting racist and homophobic slurs at him on Jan. 29 — but were released Friday without charges.

CBS Chicago is now reporting that sources say the “Empire” star allegedly paid the pair $3,500 to stage the assault — with another $500 promised to come — and even rehearsed the melee with them beforehand.

Don't care about LSA because as a black website they're largely responsible for inflicting their cast offs upon the DL. Not intentionally of course. In LSA's own preservation to retain a website who basically provides an outlet for highlighting issues of interest to the black female audience. However the moderators at that particular site are forced to police and comb through the replies eliminating the posts and accounts of the radical race baiting trolls who pollute discussions with their personal adgenda tactics.

First they'll fire a warning by putting the prejudiced racist on a "time out". Once the poster resumes with the dividing rhetoric usually in a sly manner, they're banned. No second chances. When the mods at LSA (who share troll i.d. with Reddit et. al) become wise to these trolls they make it almost impossible for them to infiltrate LSA. The result? The troll is forced onto sites that run off of the anonymous platform. The DL is there go-to.

Whenever you visit DL and it is rife with black interest threads during times when most people would be busy working or using weekend time to attend to life then you can be reassured that their usual stomping grounds have just performed a "house cleaning". A surge in black racist postings here are a result of other sites performing a purge.

Once the troll has run out of proxies, VPNs, browsers on different devices they are forced to wait it out before attempting to sneak back onto the web addresses who have banned them. While they're waiting it out they focus all of their agendas onto the poor readership of the DL. They don't care if they ruin the reputation and livelihood of another's property and creation. They only concern themselves with playing the black victim and demonizing other races for their own self created dead ends.

So go onto DL's setting page (tool icon) and read Muriel's section pleading with us on how to give these trolls the boot (by blocking firstly, FFing secondly) so trolls will run out of the tactics described in the first paragraph on the settings page. Also to view your own standing in permissions which can be tampered with by no life trolls who will block your posts in order to ascertain your identity only. They're blocking you in order to stalk you but they're simultaneously ruining your DL rep by reducing your permissions and getting you temporarily banned from posting. As Muriel says, don't respond to them. Just block them and ignore them by revoking their moderating permissions.

I’m seeing a lot of tweets around Valentines about S still beliovecause Chicago PD was denying stuff - even as it became more and more clear the level of bullshit it was. Tweets from people who’d normally be F the Police, corruption types. It shows how much we’re really more about whether something fits what we want to believe than facts.

Of course the Chicago PD kept denying, denying, denying. This had every needed element to incite a riot if they appeared at all to be biased against Jussie before they had 100% proof. Even now they have to handle this with perfect PR kid gloves. They know the community is anti police and will be inspecting every nook to find potential mishandling.

This is Ava Duvarnay's tweet. "Despite the inconsistencies, I can’t blindly believe Chicago PD. The department that covered up shooting Laquan McDonald over a dozen times? That operated an off-site torture facility? That one? I’ll wait. Whatever the outcome, this won’t stop me from believing others. It can’t."

Shouldn't she have started it with "Because of the inconsistencies, I can’t blindly believe Chicago PD" instead?

My god leave R59 alone, they did nothing wrong. Jussie is the cunt you should bash.

R59 Got what they fucking wanted in the end r108 what the fuck do you care?

Aren't the "threatening letter" charges going to be more serious that the hoax charges?

What’s the over under?

Are we going with this ending in tears (a la I have sinned Jimmy Swaggart)?

Or are we going with him sticking where he’s at - eventually erupting in a Jack Nicholson style “You Can’t Handle the Truth” that hard decisions, uncomfortable decisions must be made and he made those decisions- for the good of humanity.

Because, r109, it's offensive and obnoxious for some poster to sweep in and presume that anyone wants to turn half a dozen threads over three days into a few succinct bullet points so that he doesn't have to be bothered. We're not in his employ.

R104, you don't go for bankruptcy because of student loan debt. There are two types of debt that bankruptcy won't erase: money owed to the IRS (taxes) and student loan debt. Of course, getting your other debts erased makes it easier to pay off student loans.

The latter, r111; followed by a 28-day hospitalization to treat the dehydration and exhaustion brought on by the unpaid emotional labor he performed for the good of humanity.

Hawttt!!!

[quote]Are we going with this ending in tears (a la I have sinned Jimmy Swaggart)?

I suspect his lawyers -- if they're smart -- are already arranging a "rest cure" for Jussie-Wussie at a spa-clinic where he can "get the help he needs," because the next step is painting him as a victim of himself and begging for sympathy.

Last known lynching was 1981. That's 38 years one lynching. How many murders take place on a daily basis in Southside Chicago?

Also: if those two Nigerian stud bulls whaled on you for 10 seconds — never mind 30 — and hit you in the face, you'd have a shattered nose and cheekbones, not an owie that could be fixed with Bactine and a Transformers Band-Aid.

I wonder if the brothers are posting on here. Coz very early on, in like the very first thread, someone said he mailed it to himself and it was all fake etc...

R112 I'm confused. I was one of the first posters to bitch them out for asking (even though I caved with that DM link). Anyway, moving on...

I'm sorry but I don't find either of the bros hot at all. nice bods but that's about it.

I just don't see him admitting anything. Regardless if there are charges/trial I believe he will continue to claim he is innocent.

I've posted this before but one of my favorite parts is that the attack was staged directly in front of a security camera. Jussie led the cops to the scene and begged them them to pull the footage. The cops told him that the camera was pointed in the opposite direction. Jussie staged his attack in the only camera blind part of his walk home.

R118, that's excluding the fact that this happened in sub zero weather. So not only are you thrown off by being attacked by two men of that stature, but your'e more than likely thrown onto ice when trying to gain your ground. Try standing up and being able to fight back when standing on a patch of ice.

Im sorry... if those brothers didnt have the generic 6 pack abs, and bulging muscles, none of you would drop your pantitas for their anacondas. Their faces ARENT in any vicinity attractive. NOT EVEN IN THE ZIP CODE of pleasant looking at all. Unfortunate looking. Hence why they need top spend their lives in a gym, because they dont serve face whatsoever.

I heard Rami Malek has signed on to star in the "Justice for Jussie " Lifetime Movie. Of course, Rami will be playing closeted Jussie. And the attackers will be Asian. Betty White is being considered for the role of Cookie. Rami isn't big on accuracy in his movies.

Jussie’s “Perils of Pauline” style story was an early indication that this whole thing was complete bullshit. Way too many details were added unnecessarily.

R25: Ugly to average looking guys with six packs and hot physiques can be really fun to fuck. Not everyone requires a pretty face.

I guess the fact that they actually rehearsed the attack confirms that he wanted there to be video R123. I don't think that was clear before.

Too bad. I'm sure the fake fight with him fighting off two huge body builders would have been hilarious.

I agree with r122 Especially since he double downed on his "innocence" in last night's statement. (Likely why the lawyer he said he never hired quit)

"Jussie Smollett is angered and devastated by recent reports that the perpetrators are individuals he is familiar with," a statement from lawyers Todd Pugh and Victor Henderson said.

"He has now been further victimised by claims attributed to these alleged perpetrators that Jussie played a role in his own attack. Nothing is further from the truth and anyone claiming otherwise is lying."

One of the brothers is Smollett's personal trainer, and the lawyers said it was "impossible to believe that this person could have played a role in the crime against Jussie or would falsely claim Jussie's complicity".

R115

I agree!

In regards to Jussie's claim that he "fought the fuck back," you can tell that he would've been beaten to a pulp by these two, despite his most valiant defense efforts. These guys look like they punch down brick walls for a living.

r128... Yes fun to fuck. Nothing else. I would rather stare at an attractive face, then a sea of six packs, and bulging muscles. Rather a good looking nice face, that sets them apart, then someone who's body looks like everyone with a six pack, and muscles. yawn.

Jussie can do commercials for Subway.

I’m confused, why didn’t he hire white actors to play the parts of his assailants? Does the show only have black actors? Will he claim it was a performance art piece?

I think Jussie assumed that between the low quality of security cam footage and the fact that they were wearing masks their race wouldn't be visible.

R133 here. Posted too soon. That should be signed: "Come Up With A Slogan".

Maybe he didn't think he could trust two white actors to go along with this and not rat him out. Maybe he doesn't know any white guys.

R123 He’s lucky the cameras were facing the wrong way. He’s not a professional stunt artist no matter what type of actor he fancies himself. I would imagine the tape would’ve been super embarrassing. The only good thing about the tape would have been it would’ve been even more obvious it was fake right from the get go.

I know, R134, he should have asked Ellen Page.

R137 is correct. Jussie doesn't trust white people even though his bio dad is white.

Lol at this pathetic stunt queen

Remember when his costar Taraji P Henson, lied about the Glendale Police over her son... :) lmao

I think John Legend should be cast to play Jussie in the TV Movie.

I'm sorry for his family. This must be beyond embarrassing.

So he won’t let his character date white men, and he won’t hire white actors for white roles?

The hardware store where the rope was purchased Crafty Beaver is a lesbian owned business

i watched 10 to 15 minutes of a first season episode of Empire and that was enough for me. Can someone tell me a few things, please?

Is the show set in Chicago? Does it film in Chicago? (The Good Wife was set in Chicago but filmed in New York other than second unit background footage.)

Isn't the show currently on a filming hiatus?

Thanks.

Google exists r147

Yes, yes and no, R147.

Yes the show films in Chicago at Cinespace Chicago Film Studios and no its still filming. My friend is an agent in Chicago who supplies actors for the show, but Jussie isnt one of them.

r142, I think she was misinformed; I don't think she lied.

r145, you just took a speculative response and presented it as fact.

Is it so hard to make your points with facts?

Thanks r149 and r150.

[quote]I just don't see him admitting anything. Regardless if there are charges/trial I believe he will continue to claim he is innocent.

Precisely. ABC News is reporting that Chicago PD has so far been unable to corroborate the brothers' version of the story. As long as they're unable to do so, that will give Jussie the ability to continue claiming innocence. It will basically be "he said/they said" and that may be his only out going forward.

r151 I mean theres wanting to believe a victim and then there's complete delusion/refusing to believe or consider anything else because it doesn't fit your narrative. She learned. She had a knee jerk reaction like everyone did with this case, for the people who all AGREED and believed.

Not sure how that story can be corroborated without Jussie, really. They may not even have enough to go to a grand jury. How odd it will be if this is just stuck in neutral.

R140 yeah but his father was one of the self proclaimed rare “good ones” and probably taught his kids how evil white people are. He got his messiah complex from somewhere

Just overheard Smollett cry out at Sammich Central on Chicago’s Gold Coast “Where’s my Alton Maddox? Where’s my Reverend Al?”

There are bound to be text messages and a money trail, R155. I don't think it'll be too hard. Right now they can prove the brothers were in the vicinity and purchased the noose and bleach, so Jussie will at the very least have to amend his story to "OMG!!! My friends are the ones who attacked me!".

Again----and I ask this as a Liberal Democrat-----what are unemployed "model actors" from Nigeria doing in the U.S?....I know why THEY want to be here, but I don't know why WE want them here when real crime victims are in danger and trying to get asylum at the Mexican border.

Jussie has already told us how this is going to end. 1) He refuses to press charges against the brothers. 2) If they take it to trial Jussie refuses to testify. 3) Without Jussie's testimony they can't convict, not enough evidence. Jussie walks away as a great guy for his sympathy towards the bothers, trial or no trial.

Jessie the triple threat. Self-hating actor, homosexual, and black man.

May he drop from our sight as quickly as possible. He'll be living next to a freeway real soon.

Sounds like Jussie is being set up.

Jussie has had plenty of time to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he was a victim. Without conclusive evidence, the assumption is going to be that it was a hoax.

R155, you know absolutely nothing about the criminal justice system but I guess that doesn't preclude you from making definitive statements with regards to how this will be handled. You don't know what you're saying, and it shows.

Hey, you'll never guess what the topic with the highest traffic on Twitter from Russian IP addresses is this weekend.

No, really. Guess.

[quote]....and he won’t hire white actors for white roles?

It's an extreme case of colour washing if you think about it. I hope Jada Pinkett Smith is pleased.

The "it was a set up" troll has arrived. All rejoice.

Jussie Smollett is an American hero, and a national treasure.

[quote][R145], you just took a speculative response and presented it as fact.

Actually, he presented it as a question. That's what that curvy punctuation mark at the end of his sentence indicates.

For people who are saying Jussie can simply "not press charges" and this goes away---you are wrong. Jussie filed a false police report. And if he mailed himself that threatening letter he has Federal Crimes stacking up.....

Well, maybe Jussie instructed the brothers to make and send the letter. He asked them to buy everything else...

Damn these brothers are so fucking stupid. I hope they have text messages to cover their asses.

How did they get into the country anyways? How did they get a visa?

I mean, how did they get approved for a visa? Must be hard to get one, from where they are from.

r164, there is not a single definitive statement in my post. Not one. It's a rumination and nothing more.

Get your head out of your ass, please. Thank you.

r172, they live here. They were raised in this country.

R174, thank you so much for the information.

R173, I know, you used the all too familiar, aw shucks, or aw folks (or folx), in attempts to bring reason to your argument, thinking it attracts the common argument, or common man. Yes, I know you did not use those terms. I'm very familiar with your argument, and that is what it's going for. It doesn't work, except among people like you because it isn't true. It preaches to the lowest common denominator.

I’ll tell you what we’re not gonna do. What we’re NOT gonna do is not believe the victim.

I can’t believe there are posters here actually saying Jussie Smollett is hot. He is average at best....his facial features are a little off. I could list lots of attractive black men like Shemar Moore and Tyson Beckford...

Jussie, you in danger, girl!

r178... there are saying those Nigerian Brothers are hot, just because they have hot bodies, doesnt maker them HOT... the face. average!

Case is gonna go to grand jury...

The Jussie Smollett case will go before a grand jury early next week, according to a new report.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that a panel will hear the case, but the outlet didn’t elaborate on who is facing charges — or what they might be.

The “Empire” star told cops he was assaulted in Chicago on Jan. 29 by two men spewing racist and homophobic slurs at him — but his story has since come under fire as sources have alleged to news outlets that he actually paid some pals to stage the whole thing.

Cops arrested brothers Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo on Wednesday after they were captured on security footage near the scene — but they were released Friday without charges, and police then said evidence they gave has shifted the “trajectory of the investigation.”

Cops are also now investigating whether magazines with missing pages that they found when raiding the brothers’ homes are connected to a threatening letter sent to Smollett a weeks before the attack with cut-out letters reading, “You will die black f–,” according to TMZ.

Smollett originally made it clear to cops that he’d sign complaints against his assailants — but once the Osundairos were arrested, he said he knew them and felt bad for them, and refused to press charges, sources tell TMZ.

Everyone criticizing the journalist and people for believing him. Why would you not? Who would make this shit up? No one sane.

Jussie is an ABG

clearly jussie has narcissistic personality disorder.

he reminds me of Captain Jeffrey Macdonald; doubling down on a crazy lie. The antisocial behavior. The narcissistic injury of being possibly written off eventually.

his Twitter header are his eyes. his bio is "I'm here to save the world. "

NPD.

Still unanswered -- did Jussie get the complimentary sun chips with his Subway? Or is that only available in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania?

I believe the brothers. They were released rather fast after being picked up. Obviously their stories check out or sounded truthful to the cops.

It's Jussie they keep having to interview again, coz his story changes a lot. DO THE MATH. It's not that hard to tell who is lying.

[quote] I’ll tell you what we’re not gonna do. What we’re NOT gonna do is not believe the victim.

Yeah, see, you're not getting it. Because if someone is lying about being a victim, then there is no victim to believe. So you mean to say you should believe the "self-proclaimed victim." Someone, maybe, like Carolyn Bryant, whose accusation got Emmett Till lynched for real? She said she was a victim of Emmett making unwanted sexual advances. But victims never lie, right?

So, anyone taking guesses about when Jussie gets arrested? .... I got Thursday at 2:PM. Of course, the obligatory "rehab" could put that off.

Remember----The cops have the Bodycam footage of Jussie lying at the very beginning. Some things he was telling the police made them suspicious right away...That's coming down the pike....

Jussie is just your typical lying leftist cunt who lives to stir hate and shit wherever they go.

R187, must you and your ilk take every joke, parody, and troll post literally?

Talk about a word salad. Your post makes no sense at all, r176, and it makes you sound a little nuts.

Please run along now and bother someone else.

So do we think those Nigerian bodybuilders are hung? I’m guessing they both have mega man meat....

Does anyone know if they are gay or not? Or at least gay for pay?

They absolutely have thick long black cocks. You can just tell.

I love you r185. Hopefully he sprung for the meal deal.....sandwich, chips AND a drink. He’s a star and no other choice would be appropriate.

What made him do this now?

What did they do before this? The brothers? Can someone give a little intro? Did they go to college etc?

Do I think the Nigerians are hung? Yes. Yes I do.

The reason why you wouldn’t believe him r182 is because contrary to what the media, the rich, etc. want us all to believe the average people in the US -right and the left- aren’t the stereotypes being put out to make us all distracted hating each other while they line their pockets and put the country down the toilet.

The average Trump voter isn’t running around at 2am in Chicago yelling MAGA. The average Trump voter is probably terrified of Chicago and only knows that it’s used in talking points about gun violence (the Chi-raq stuff).

That we’ve been whipped up and lead around by the media to the point that people really think this scenario could play out as described shows how successful they’ve been at poisoning us.

R134 because no self respecting American of any race would commit high treason in their own backyards. Even a Mexican or Canadian wouldn't involve themselves in this crime against humanity. There's your answer. Although even if an American was desperate for dollars they'd roll in a heartbeat by turning this traitor in without provocation.

Oh Jussie. You dun, gurl.

This may have been discussed earlier, but if so I missed it: several news outlets (including the NY Post) are reporting that when Jussie learned who the "attackers" were, he refused to press charges because he "felt bad for them." This is the guy who wept all over Robin Roberts (in the extended interview) that he would never be able to heal if his attackers weren't identified and brought to justice.

So was this an attempt to derail the process and make the whole incident go away once he realized he'd botched it?

I disagree R200. This could very well happen, but not when it is freezing cold at 2 in the morning and the only people out are the victim and the muggers.

Does Jussie’s crisis team have a “war room” assembled yet?

Oh god. R201 with his theories on "decent Americans" is back.

R185 I am sorry to say your Sun Chip question may have to wait a long time for an answer. It took two threads to find out he ordered tuna (and the salad). Keep asking. Maybe by Part 82 we will know.

Be warned, we were all told that it was an Ace Hardware that the rope came from until suddenly it was discovered it was actually from the Crafty Beaver. The situation remains very fluid apparently. I'm deeply concerned that we will find out it wasn't a Subway he went to, but an Arby's .

You're a moron of the first order if you believe that, r201. Plenty of Americans would do, and have done, something as bad or worse for a little cash. And could we quit drama-queening on about this as though it were the crime of the century? Yes, staging a fake hate crime is a shitty thing to do to victims of real hate crimes, but it's not as though someone was murdered here.

R182 Secondary gain from the publicity and sympathy the attack would garner. The attack aligned with his personal commercial projects and his pet political causes, and would (if the deceit were conceded) make him a prominent martyr figure. There's money in that but also the consideration of ones friends, and he had many in high places.

And, R207, if his right cheek had the "damage", wouldn't that mean a lefty hit him? This is very important to know, almost as important as Subway/Arby's.

Jussie has said he doesn't really like white people. So of course he'd hire people of color for this special job.

He is over!

He is a mental case. I hope he saved and invested.

Anyone knows what they make on the show? He's one of the main characters...

Lee Daniels phone records should be summoned as well.

r207, the Ace hardware stores in my area have other names as well, with Ace fairly visible outside the building. Smith Brothers Hardware/Ace Hardware. This Beaver place could still be an Ace franchise.

R213

What were Jussie and Don Lemon talking about in all their phone calls? Don admitted they were talking every day since the "attack".

Jussie is half white. His father is Jewish. I wonder if he was the goyim troll that hated white people on here.

Considering how insane he is, it's possible.

There was a thread not too long ago about how to send a letter anonymously. Wondering if Jussie was the OP now.

He probably was a Datalounge regular

209 here. Meant concealed, not conceded.

I think those brothers are hot as fuck. And you just know their dicks are glorious.

I just googled Crafty Beaver and there's no affiliation with Ace. So I guess the early reports were wrong.

How can they be hot? They're black.

I hope they review those Don Lemon calls. If he colluded to advance this racist hoax, he should be criminally prosecuted.

I want the brothers, especially Abel. Abel is my new fantasy bro. So hot and Alpha! 💪🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Given his friend had to convince him to call the police, I wonder what the original plan was.

How much community service we he be required to do as a slap on the wrist and will it be with at the Chicago Republican headquarters as reparation for his accusations?

R217, for real? Link?

I thought the brothers posted here too. or maybe even Jussie himself.

I can't believe Jussie spoke with Don Lemon every day.

Don should talk to the cops.

Who is Abel? I read the reports in the paper and none of them are named Abel.

R224 You don't actually believe that do you? Especially after we now know he paid these Nigerians to "attack" him and that they even rehearsed it?

Thank you so much r220 for confirming that. Now my fear that the sandwich (and salad) could end up being from an Arby's instead is growing.

Oh, lord. The brother whose name begins with Abi is called Abel, and they are collectively referred to as Abel.

CNN: FBI Director Christopher Wray to Speak on Status of Jussie Smollett Investigation at 8:00pm EST

I distinctive remember someone posted in the FIRST thread, that he mailed the letter to himself. Right from the very few posts, and they even mentioned Frank. Did the public know about Frank?

Do you think his bf Frank was involved? or knew about it?

When is Frank going down?

I have a feeling Frank's gone down quite a lot already.....

r231 Took you long enough to show up FBI scheduled to speak troll. Newbies, this is a joke, so don't get excited.

R228 Perhaps I'm giving him too much credit, but something must have gone wrong with his plan. What actually happened can't have been what was fully intended to happen. So yes, I believe it more likely that the phone call wasn't planned than he actually thought all this would somehow work.

His parents must be so proud.

Frank Gatson is the one who called the cops to report this. Either Jussie lied to him or he was part of this plot as well.

He's probably speed dialing Beyonce to get him out of this pickle

[quote]I hope they review those Don Lemon calls. If he colluded to advance this racist hoax, he should be criminally prosecuted.

Don Lemon should be locked up.

Jusstify My Sub: The Hussie Smollett Story.

Are we to believe that Sunshine Sachs has dropped him if he has new crisis PR?

Do we think Frank the choreographer planned out the alleged fight scene?

Do the FBI/cops know about the thread on here shortly before the letter was mailed asking questions about mailing letters anonymously?

R200! You go! Popular MSM media sites e.g. Daily Fail bamboozle gullible black people into believing they must fear for their lives when interacting with average non black fellow citizens. Meanwhile racking up hits and stats to charge astronomical advertising fees.

It's an abusive power & $ play all around because the advertisers/promoters are left scratching their heads when their ad campaign on a heavily trafficked site like the Fail returns no investment.

Why?

Because those gullible ad execs failed to factor in the demographic who are providing those race baiting hits. So they're hocking their product to the poorest poverty stricken demographic who don't have two nickels to rub together.

The Daily Fail is a vehicle for duping and making fools of predominately American individuals. And the duper's delight is off the charts. That's why they have the resources to back the claim "we pay cash for tips & stories".

It's actually the "cash" stolen from one American to transfer to another American for betraying all Americans.

Well paying gig you got there la Fail.

Maybe he's dumb enough to think that if someone else called 911, that was protection against a false report. More likely to my mind, is that pretending to be reluctant made him seem less hoaxy.

The brothers have records, so their fingerprints are in the system and the letter...

The Nigerians provided the “foot-longs” at Jussie’s post-hoax orgy which took place later that night.

R244 - put down the meth pipe gurl

Also, the grand jury might believe Jussie coz he has no records, those brothers do....

Cops should do a rape test on Jussie and see exactly how much Nigerian cum he has up his ass.

Just saw this on twitter,

On 22 Mar 2016, Jussie posted "who is more to blame? A devil who spreads obvious lies or a fool who chooses to believe those lies and pass them along? #thoughts.

Here is the thread asking about how to send an anonymous note:

OO,R217, you are correct. I remember seeing that thread as well. I never clicked on it, so I don't know what was said, but it was active for a while.

You might be onto something, especially with all the weirdness on here in the past week, losing the ability to preview links and whatnot.

r232, I don't think anyone knows who sent the letter. We do know that it was addressed to Jussie at the Empire studio, but that's all.

Look above your post r253

I remember reading that thread R252! There were only a few replies when I saw it.

Oh my....I bet the brothers post here!

Hello Abel...or whatever your names are and you can stop posting how hot you are.

I don't know if it's true but police found magazines with missing pages in their apt raid! I read it on the internet...who knows if info is real?!

I read on Twitter that the cops removed magazines that had cut pages from the Nigerians’ apartment, likely used to make the letter.

seriously guys, I am fascinated by this case ( I love mysteries ) and this thread. I have so much shit to do but chucked it all aside...Damn!

The letter. They misspelled "Jussie."

That's fucking right you, R206. I'm also R244. Because unlike you I'm educated and well traveled. Jump in defense of the American people without blinking because having lived all over this globe I recognize their unique warmth and compassion. Also credited them with their amazing TOM responsible for creating the possible from impossible on part 2 or 3 of this subject continuation. At the 600+ entry mark.

Gee, no wonder he turned down the offer of security, Jussie knew the letter was gonna be sent by the brothers (part of the plan).

Damn, Jussie spent a lot of time working on this plot. But I hear actors have lots of down time while on set.

No one is attacking the American people, you try hard dumbass at R261, so going on and on about how great they are on a thread about a looney tunes specimen of the American people makes you come off as severely deranged.

What exactly were the guys doing when they went to Nigeria? Was it a trip they had planned for a long time or a spur of the moment thing? Oh, and what's with the hoarding situation? Are they, like, compulsive shoppers and that's why they were broke before, and desperate for money? I'm just trying to figure out how this half baked plan was concocted and why they would agree to it for what isn't really very much money. Pretty sure Jussie told them he would never finger them as the culprits, but there was always the slim possibility of someone else witnessing the "beatdown."

The fuck you aren't, R263. Go die in a grease fire you seditious cunt.

For funsies, here's the letter Jussie never would ever send (or pay someone to)

[quote] I'm educated and well traveled.

You're also mentally defective, though, so the education and travel don't count for much.

r261. Welcome back. We've missed your particular brand of lunacy.

Oh, wait--no we haven't. Please go away again.

Only if you shut the fuck up, R265. I think you'd be more at home on a MAGA type forum.

Haven't MAGA types been falsely accused of enough this month?

Enough with the MAGA stuff.

This attack was planned and carried out by three stupid blacks.

I looked away for three hours and there are 257 new comments. What did I miss?

I said self respecting you ass at R208. You might as well compare American associates with figure skating as capable of assault on a rival skater a la Tonya Harding.

Only an American suffering a cognitive disorder would go along with such a homeland dividing spectacle and the asking fee would be astronomical. Peoples actual political careers are on the line here. This is in reality Michelle Obama's third strike. Her legacy is irreversibly tainted for associating herself with this rube. Are you GETTING IT NOW?

Two blacks and a half blacks.

can someone post famous hoax that turned out to be lies? I remember Susan Smith. :) next?

[quote]This is in reality Michelle Obama's third strike. Her legacy is irreversibly tainted for associating herself with this rube. Are you GETTING IT NOW?

Oooh papa tooney, we got a LOONY!

[quote] Are you GETTING IT NOW?

Yes, I am getting that you are floridly mentally ill.

Quit the bitching please, and back on topic. Even better: go start your own thread on whatever the fuck you two are arguing about.

Not a thing, r272. Just a lot of bickering

R273, put down the pipe, honey. You sound really crazy.

How many strikes has Trump had...today?

So the cops now have the Nigerians’ cell phones.

They’ll be able to retrieve any texts between them and Jussie in addition to records of calls between them. Unless Jussie was smart enough to use a burner phone (haha, no) he’s toast.

It’s no longer his word against theirs. This will be the first real proof the whole thing was planned.

I actually feel sorry for the two jacked Nigerian bros, for $3000 they could have just given him a kind of “thug boyfriend” experience for the weekend. You know that’s what Jussie really needs.

It’s ironic that Jussie has hired the lawyers that got the Chicago cops off for the Laquan McDonalds shooting. I mean Jussie goes and hires a criminal defense lawyer??

R275

Yes, I bet the cops will find out the bros post here on DL.

more for R275

even more for R275

Do u guys think the grand jury will vote to indict him? I guess it depends on how many black people are on it

OJ part 1.5

I doubt there are more than a few blacks on the Grand Jury.

Did Jussie actually pay the brothers the $3500?

I’m sure there’s a money trail between them that the cops have identified.

I think Jussie is smart enough to pay in cash...no trail.

Well, the state's attorney (or DA; I don't know how this works in Illinois) must feel he has enough evidence to put in front of a grand jury. We may not find out what it is.

One of the brothers is dead. It's on CNN now.

They’ll go for an all white jury because white guilt will set Jussie free. Seriously.

CNN is on commercial right now for me.

Did he die before or after the FBI press conference?

R294 Are you fucking serious?

It's BS. nobody died. nothing on the website.

[quote]One of the brothers is dead. It's on CNN now.

No. It’s not.

R73.. Yes.. Crying wolf on something this serious, takes away from actual serious attacks. This guy is a jerk.. shame on him.

He choked on a sub at an Ace Hardware

CNN talking about “women in politics” right now.

They'll return to it after the break.

I hate you!!

I wonder if Jussie is gonna pay the brothers a ton of money to take the rap.

Thanks, R255. Although now it gets even weirder because I remember there was another thread from around the same time that had something to do with dismembering bodies or getting rid of blood in a bathtub. I remember it because I was reading the book about Bob Burdella at the time. I saved the thread, but deleted it without reading because I'd read enough on the subject after finishing the book at that point.

Suicide or murdered?

[quote]They’ll go for an all white jury because white guilt will set Jussie free. Seriously.

The Grand Jury is already seated and only determines if indictments will be handed down.

The attorneys don’t get to pick the grand jury members, like they would in a criminal trial.

Murdered by a transgendered Muslim illegal alien.

There's someone else clapping back at the blacks downplaying the enormity of Jussie's criminal stunt with one liners. Not me.

Jumping to the defense of another person's crimes just because you share a racial heritage with them is high favoritism and exhibits a faulty character and make up which can never be trusted. That's right out of hebrew teachings from the talmud. The very principle negates personal integrity. The very act of *operating on these principles will get groups of individuals expelled from the land.

*look it up

OMG

The Nigerian brothers are both alive and being watched closely by authorities. There is a stupid little troll spinning lies about murders and non-existent press conferences on this thread.

Drudge has photos of a bloody corpse.

Trumpsters are going nuts (nuttier) on Twitter. They are behaving as though Smollett's attack being proven a hoax automatically means Trump is obviously innocent in the Muller investigation. So bizarre.

Defense attorneys aren't allowed in the grand jury room when witnesses are being questioned. What will poor little Jussie-Wussie do if he's called to testify?

It's on Drudge. Fuck.

What?

What what?

Excuse me! EXCUSE ME!

You seem to have forgotten ME, the real victim in this case!

Who did it? The other brother?

Foreigners are so violent.

The Drudge troll of course provides no link to what it’s talking about

I'd still fuck him.

This is a totally useless point to make, but I live in the same neighborhood as that Crafty Beaver. I think it was chosen because it’s a smaller, independent hardware store without security cameras (Lowe’s and Home depot have cameras everywhere).

For real?! Someone from CNN must post here. They want us to tune into CNN lol.

No Nigerian has died in the making of this hoax

Did they pay in cash?

TMZ has the dead brother.

R294 always pulls the childish distraction postings when black people are being exposed for being racist anti-American n'er do wells attempting to sabotage their fellow citizens.

Jussie's fucked.

R325 here, forgot to add, for what it’s worth that hardware store is in Andersonville (the far more mature, sophisticated, and less overt version of Boystown). It’s a 15 minute drive north of Streeterville (several neighborhoods away)

This is the thread about blood in a bath tub.

gonna put the cunt on ignore

Will the grand jury indict him?

How did the brother die?

Police have removed guns.

NO ONE DIED

OMG

Don't ignore me. I'm not a salad.

Did Jussie kill him or did Kamala have some do it?

I’ll bet the Crafty Beaver manager was worried the two Nigerians were going to shoplift or rob the store.

One less person to provide information to the cops.

If you haven't already please put r339 on ignore. Cleans up the joint nicely.

R344 is the one saying a brother died. How many devices do you have going?

They should do a porn parody of this whole thing. It practically writes itself.

And it goes without saying that the Nigerians should just play themeselves.

Don Lemon can play himself, having daily phone sex with Jussie.

This is too much at this point-- why aren't officials calling out Jussie for lying- I'm sorry, but because he is black they are afraid to fucking say that they think this black guy lied and set this all up-- so f'd up. Mary!

Who is more depraved? Gays or blacks?

This is Kamala's fault.

Do you think Jussie did this himself? Do you think he bounced the idea off some of his friends?

Did Jussie kill the brother? I'm lost. Which brother is dead?

No one is dead.

R352

It's on CNN.

It's a joke, R352.

These are the hokes, folks.

When is the FBI coming out with their press conference? Will the mention the murdered brother?

R352 IS the troll talking about a Nigerian brother. It’s literally talking to itself.

So sick and twisted. Is Chicago always like this?

It was Jussie's white half that made him do this.

Go away, R360. You’re ruining a great thread.

At least I didn't ruin your mother's life, R362.

Please make use of your ignore button guys. There is more than one troll going nuts right now, and it's all over the board, not just this thread. Thanks!

R364 is trying to gaslight us with her shit.

Jussie is an entitled nitwit. He is going to bring down so many of his tribe, it will be fun to watch.

Now they're adding a murder charge.

[quote]because he is black they are afraid to fucking say that they think this black guy lied and set this all up-- so f'd up.

Agreed.

This makes it real hard to argue that “systemic racism” exists against blacks.

In fact, it seems like Jussie is actually benefiting from Black Privilege.

White privilege doesn't exist. Only black privilege does.

[quote] So do we think those Nigerian bodybuilders are hung?

I have no investment in the issue but I'd remind you steroid freaks suffer unintended consequences.

If you're going to troll, that's fine with me, but at least be funny. The murder troll is dumb.

[quote]This is too much at this point-- why aren't officials calling out Jussie for lying- I'm sorry, but because he is black they are afraid to fucking say that they think this black guy lied and set this all up-- so f'd up. Mary!

The Chief of Police in Chicago is black. He shouldn't feel the pressure that a white officer would.

How do we know it's not the gays, rather than the blacks, that they're afraid to offend? Maybe Jussie is benefiting from Gay Privilege.

But seriously, it's neither. If anything, he's benefitting from Celebrity Privilege, but mostly I think the cops just want to get all their ducks in a row on this weird story before making any official proclamation.

The bodybuilding brothers who Jussie Smollett reportedly paid to stage a racist and homophobic attack on him both declared bankruptcy two years ago.

Newly unearthed court documents show budding model-actors Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo both filed for bankruptcy in Illinois in September 2016 — with each declaring large students loans and very little income at the time.

Abimbola reported $161,481 in debt, including $85,475 in student loans, while only making $160 a month — while his brother claimed he had $72,771 in liabilities, including $39,114 in student loans, and made just $142 a month.

Both reported being part-owners of a party supply store, but said it was operating at a loss.

The brothers were arrested Wednesday after Smollett reported being assaulted by two men shouting racist and homophobic slurs at him on Jan. 29 — but were released Friday without charges.

CBS Chicago is now reporting that sources say the “Empire” star allegedly paid the pair $3,500 to stage the assault — with another $500 promised to come — and even rehearsed the melee with them beforehand.

Smollett also allegedly paid for a rope used in the attack.

The 36-year-old actor denies having any role in setting up the assault.

“One of these purported suspects was Jussie’s personal trainer who he hired to ready him physically for a music video. It is impossible to believe that this person could have played a role in the crime against Jussie or would falsely claim Jussie’s complicity,” Smollett’s attorneys said in a statement Saturday.

[quote]Im sorry... if those brothers didnt have the generic 6 pack abs, and bulging muscles, none of you would drop your pantitas for their anacondas.

I don't even like the bodies. Overbuilt, too lean and out of proportion.

There are reports now confirming that Smollett hasn't made himself available to investigators as requested. Also reports that the civil rights community (whatever that encompasses) in LA is being openly critical of him. Ava DuVernay is one exception: she doesn't trust the Chicago PD and is disinclined to believe them.

God, this little twerp is causing a world of trouble.

Someone started their own thread about this article. I'm "stealing" it for us:

"I doubted Jussie Smollett. It breaks my heart that I might be right."

R376 Do you have a link please? Twerp is one word...

That Subway salad better have lo-cal dressing and NO croutons.

Now if you see Jussie "Y"

Faded, jaded Jussie "Y"

Tell her she's sweller than apple pie.

[quote]Jussie Smollett is angered and devastated by recent reports that the perpetrators are individuals he is familiar with," a statement from lawyers Todd Pugh and Victor Henderson said. He has now been further victimised by claims attributed to these alleged perpetrators that Jussie played a role in his own attack. Nothing is further from the truth and anyone claiming otherwise is lying."

Seriously, if Jussie suicides, doctors need to dissect and study his brain for any signs of pathology.

Defending and loving America and her people is just being first to the party. Propaganda is wasted here. Been around. Have the experience, the knowledge and foresight to gauge the character and value of a nation. National character is determined by the values and belief of its citizens.

Ahead of the current trend Once this division issue fades the world will wake up and so will you.

Jussie will end up as a spokesman for Subway before this is all over. Just wait.

Ava DuVernay is a CUNT.

How she still has a career after A Cankle in Time is beyond me.

I bought Subway stock this morning. It will be mentioned every time this story comes up for the next few weeks.

Aw, SHAAADDUP R382!

Has Jada Pinkett Smith weighed in yet?

r376: I'm sorry; I can't link from this computer, but it was on a site called Deadline Hollywood (deadline.com).

This really is great free publicity for Subway. I didn’t even know there were 24-hour Subways.

The tuna sub does sound disgusting however.

Many thanks r388 found it.

"Is that a foot long tuna on wheat in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"

Subway: the fast food of choice for fundie freaks (Kirk Cameron), fatty pedos (Jared), and now SJW hoaxers. Great publicity alright!

What happened to the brother?

Really, R393?

[quote]What happened to the brother?

He ate a salad.

The Crafty Beaver in Skokie actually sells Crafty Beaver t-shirts and baseball caps.

Think about this. What does it say about our society when a young and handsome actor with a steady gig on a TV show feels he has to do to this? Yet when everyone else working a regular or low paying job complains about their circumstances, they're immediately silenced and blamed for their entitlement?

He looks like he has dirty toes.

What is that object pointing to stick figure Jussie in the letter? A gun, or a blow drier, or an ejaculating cock and balls?

R373 we don't know if its gay privilege? Please dumbass there is no thing-- this is all about being black, especially in chicago with all of the shootings (by blacks!!!).

[quote] Both reported being part-owners of a party supply store

Drug dealers?

How can they even survive on $100/month in income?

When is the FBI press conference? Has it been pushed back again?

Any size verificatia on Rob Elgas? Surely someone has seen what's under that parka.

It's nice to see all the different DL regulars and trolls come together to hate on Jussie (me included!). It's wholesome DataLounge!

R372

I’m sorry, but fuck you. He would forever be attacked as an “Uncle Tom” in Chicago.

This shit is infuriating.

Jussie should be jailed.

Come down off the cross, R405.

I want Rob Elgas inside me

It’s as if Miss Jussie did all of this just for DL.

While we are waiting for some other Jussie posts/takes/news. Here's an article about our boo Rob selling his condo (yeah it's old but hey). I just try and skip past whenever it mentions his wife.

[quote][R373] we don't know if its gay privilege? Please dumbass there is no thing

There's no such thing as black privilege, either, which was kinda my point.

Is the thing that looks like a drill supposed to be a gun? I wonder if he went over and made the letter there or if he directed them to do it?

Super curious if Frank choreographed the fight scene, I am thinking Bey does West Side Story vibe.

Some of you bitches know about his rx with Frank and his likely roll in this whole mess, spill! Dude is a silver fox. What a literally insane way to wind down a career.

Did Frank talk Jussie into doing this because Jussie fucked around and this is Frank's revenge?

Actually R410, there is such a thing as black privilege-- nobody is able to freely speak their minds about how they feel-- even though they know he is a fucking liar. Wake up and think about it!!!!

btw, Happy Black History Month.

[quote]Actually [R410], there is such a thing as black privilege-- nobody is able to freely speak their minds about how they feel-- even though they know he is a fucking liar.

Seems to me that plenty of people here and all over the internet have freely expressed the view that Jussie is a liar.

Oh okay R415-- everyone on an anonymous message board!!!! WTF, watch the mainstream media!!

From a Saturday Queerty post about James Woods:

[quote]Just this week, Woods also appeared to endorse conspiracy theories surrounding the attack of actor Jussie Smollett, insinuating that the actor faked the violent assault for publicity.

LOL. Now James Woods is obviously a crazy right-winger, but he'll always be the voice of Hades in Disney's Hercules to me. Great reporting on that conspiracy theory, Queerty!

The black and gay communities will have to be the ones to call him out on this and point out what a liar he is and what damage he has done to both of these communities. The gay community seems to be doing just that. Is the black community calling him out yet?

r389 flyover state much? COME TO BIG CITIES Subway is 24 hours ho!

Jumping to the defense of another person's crimes just because you share a racial heritage with them is high favoritism and exhibits a faulty character and make up which can never be trusted.

R311

Nope, it's not favoritism. This is a basic example of racism.

To have the Tuna sandwich and not take advantage of the sun chips and drink deal strikes me as an illustration of what my racist Aunt Shirley would call -- "Another N ------ with new money."

To which I would say probably -- "but his father was Jewish"

And she's say

"He walked by that BARGAIN?!!"

Why did he do this? What is the motive? Attention? Is it true he was worried about being fired since he was a nobody?

He probably got DP’d by the Nigerian brothers after the “attack.”

R419, big city arrogant/ignorant much? They're open 24 hours a day in places other than the "big city"...and it's cheaper...and there's parking...and it's less crowded. Idiot.

It’s sad if he is fired for doing a stunt. It’s like handing Republicans an unnecessary win.

Listening to a lot of YouTube podcasts. A lot of them think Lee Daniels is somehow involved.

I think the person who runs the CWB Chicago Twitter account is one of us.

This thread is the best current events thread since those Thai boys got stuck in a cave last year.

These brothers were his sex toys?

Agreed that r419 is an idiot. There are 24 hour subways in many places.

[quote]Is the black community calling him out yet?

The only big name on twitter I’ve seen is Charles Blow, but he was already a skeptic. Everyone else is either ignoring it or doubling down like Ira Madison and Devernay.

[quote] Oh okay [R415]-- everyone on an anonymous message board!!!! WTF, watch the mainstream media!!

Relax, r416; you're gonna give yourself high blood pressure. People are calling a Jussie a liar all over Twitter and on various non-anonymous sites. The MSM did not hesitate to report the development that Jussie allegedly paid the Nigerian brothers to stage the attack, but you're not going to see journalists outright stating that he's a liar at this point, when he hasn't even been formally charged with anything. That's just prudence, not "black privilege."

Is the Crafty Beaver owned by Nigerian Lesbians or Sears Lesbians?

I think he paid them to rough him up, and also paid them to leave the country. It seems too staged with purchased rope and bleach, plus the brothers are cooperating with cops. He is out on a limb claiming he is a victim and not admitting he knew them.

R432, really trying hard not to get it!

[quote]but you're not going to see journalists outright stating that he's a liar at this point, when he hasn't even been formally charged with anything. That's just prudence, not "black privilege."

That's just journalism as well.

It's odd that those who condemned "the media" for "jumping to conclusions" now seem to want the same dreaded mainstream media to jump to a conclusion that pleases THEM.

r425 are you fucking kidding me? A "stunt"? this was a huge thing that even the fucking president tweeted about. He could have gotten innocent people beaten up, he definitely made any actual victims reticent and he tied up police and FBI time and resources. He didn't fucking egg his car or something, this was a big deal and he's a fucking smug asshole. I hope he is prosecuted to the fullest.

Maybe he has mental problems. Seems deluded.

A little tidbit or two here. I learned that CPD does not allow perp walks so we won't get that. However, the Feds may. *can't wait*

I can’t understand why he didn’t get a drink. How do you choke down a Subway sandwich with no drink? And why do you hang onto said sandwich for dear life when you’re getting the hell beat out of you? And why wouldn’t you get chips? Well, Mussie’s next gig isn’t going to be a Subway spokesperson.....

Tariq Nasheed is about to go live on Youtube Re: Smollett. He's a big frustration to gay black men, and not much interested in the rest of y'all. Ha, but he's interesting and smart.

Do we think Jussie would have a good time in jail?

I mean for a bottom such as himself, being locked up with lots of fine muscular brothas could be a dream come true.

CONNECT THE DOTS!!!

Maybe the Russians paid the black men to frame him? And there was sex so he made up lies?

The Feds? Ha. It went through the postal system. That means USPIS baby. He's going down hard.

I think the police are waiting for his lawyers to admit he lied.

LOL at Ellen Page. She is woke.

Tariq Nasheed made Hidden Colors. He is not smart and not interesting. He's the black Alex Jones.

I've never tasted Sun Chips. Your reviews, please.

Cory weasels.

Democratic presidential candidate Cory Booker told reporters Sunday that he would withhold judgment on the alleged attack on "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett after calling the incident "an attempted modern-day lynching" when it was first reported last month.

"I’m gonna withhold until all the information actually comes out from on-the-record sources," the senator from New Jersey said after meeting with voters in Rochester, N.H. "We know in America that bigoted and biased attacks are on the rise in a serious way, and we actually even know in this country that since 9/11, the majority of the terrorist attacks on our soil have been right-wing terrorist attacks -- the majority of them white supremacist attacks."

"What we're seeing is attacks on people because they're different and we all need to join together and condemn those attacks and the hatred and the bigotry that sources them," Booker said.

Hours after reports of the attack surfaced, Booker tweeted: "The vicious attack on actor Jussie Smollett was an attempted modern-day lynching. I'm glad he's safe." In the same message, Booker advocated the passage of legislation making lynching a federal hate crime.

Listen and learn R448.

[quote][R432], really trying hard not to get it!

There's nothing to "get," other than the fact that you're apparently going to stroke out if Jussie hasn't been stoned to death in the public square by high noon tomorrow, while a crowd of journalists look on chanting, "liar, liar, pants on fire."

It's Wingnut Christmas!

Is this Jussie’s future in prison?

“He went on to report how one of the other prisoners took a fancy to him and "purchased" him from the tier rep for $20. Even though he was thereby essentially enslaved by his new "prison husband", he was grateful – because his days of "being the communal bitch were over". He said he tried to do whatever his prison husband wanted or needed, including cleaning his cell, washing his clothes, preparing his food, and whatever else his "husband" wanted or needed, including, of course, being available for sex

I cringed when I say little Ewwen with the big forehead on Colbert. Does she not know a gay man at all? Someone to say, "When you get fag bashed, you're a little more beaten up. "

PELOSI DELETES SYMPATHETIC TWEET FOR JUSSIE SMOLLETT

He screwed the pooch on this one.

I’m shocked that Jada hasn’t chimed in yet with her hot take on all this.

I was the first person on DL to flat out say the Juss man was lying. I said Jusstice of Jessie, I mean Justice for Jussie, ect.

But I never would've imagined how crazy the actual story would prove to be. I think the biggest constant here is just how utterly stupid Jussie is. How on earth does a person who grew up with the internet, and under the Patriot Act, not know that something like his plot would be IMPOSSIBLE to pull off in 2019 in a city like Chicago? There is just no scenario where things end well for him here.

To paraphrase Charles Grodin from Louie, Jussie is a classic idiot.

Jussie as an actor should be able to easily step into his best starring role yet: the prison hoe.

r451, I am a trained historian. I cannot unlearn decades of advanced study of history because a former pickup artist made some crappy, dangerously uninformed videos that became popular on the internet.

Just so y'all know, the chatter about the sun chips, drink, etc. has grown tiresome.

The harvest cheddar Sun Chips are well worth going out in sub zero temperature at 2 AM and being slapped around by Nigerians you may or may not know. WELL worth it.

R456 Pelosi also said “Happy Thanksgiving “ on Valentines Day. The Wild Turkey probably accidentally deleted that tweet.

Stop fantasizing R454. Prison bitch rape scenarios are never funny. And they don't apply to old fat wrinkled white gays. Is that why you get turned on?

I prefer the Garden Salsa Sun Chips but not every Subway carries them.

If Jussie goes to prison, he'll think that he is a martyr like Nelson Mandela.

They should write this into the next season of Empire.

R422 He wanted to be a SJW hero.

r424 the fact you know all that, plus the fact that you type fat, clearly youre a porker. Eat your feelings much?

This truly would have been the perfect profile raising PR stunt if he hadn’t been so unbelievably fucking stupid executing it. Had he succeeded he would have gotten all kinds of pity-gigs from SJW Hollywood hurrying to “stand in solidarity” and cash in on his name recognition, lots of interviews lauding his bravery, probably some absurd awards from SJW orgs.

If Jussie has just a few more IQ points he might have managed to pull off a very effective, career boosting hoax by taking advantage of media’s gullibility and SJW hunger to “listen and believe” anything a gay POC accuses evil MAGA white dudes of doing.

The GMA interview gives a particularly hilarious insight into Jussie’s “refined” stupidity and epic arrogance and makes it obvious why he could never succeed pulling any type of hoax. The CPD played him like a fiddle, probably still laughing to how easy it was to nail his ass to the wall.

I would be cool with a Clorox splash and a few slaps for a bag of SunChips.

Oh please, most sex that occurs in prison is not rape. Aaaron Hernandez had a boyfriend in prison named Kyle and was consensually banging him daily.

R471 That’s exactly what he was going for. Sadly, he’s too dumb to pull it off.

Sure R386 coin my retorts, my vocabulary and style used to shut down YOUR racial preoccupation and disordered mind all over this forum. Everything with you eventually boils down to that imaginary score card in your head of a competition between blacks and every other race. A never ending Olympic tournament. Impulsive stunted TOM who wastes her life walking this world in a daily nonexistent battle online attempting to will those not of her own black race as the "problem". A discussion of astrophysics laws and principles here is not immune to your carcass trespassing into where you don't belong..have no business attending, posting no less, so you can stalk, snipe at another member who told you earlier and elsewhere where to go & how fast to get there.

I wonder if part of this is the television show-ization of America. It seems to me that since 9/11, American life is increasingly like low end fiction. It culminated with the election of Trump, which all played out, from the primaries to election night, like a screenplay.

Jussie's plot IS something that would be dreamed up by the writers of Empire, or Dynasty, or Dallas back in the day.. Does Generation Z just not make a distinction from drama on television, and real life now?

I simply cannot fathom his stupidity.

Where is Jussie? Where is he hiding? Why haven't we heard from him??

r473. Pick up your deflated cheeks and take your 70 year old flapping white hole to prison and see how it works gramps.

God damn idiot Jussie. How can one be so stupid?

[quote] I wonder if part of this is the television show-ization of America

Yes, it has become "Mussie-TV".

[478] you sound racist. Most people on this board aren’t stupid enough to commit crimes and end up in jail, but your boy jussie was. And yes he probably would find a prison boyfriend there like Aaron Hernandez did

This event made me realize I haven’t eaten at Subway since it became public that their spokesperson was a pederast.

What does Jussie’s partner think of this? Did he know how crazy Jussie is?

Jussie's stupidity isn't just massive, it is weird, kind of like how Chrissy Metz's shape isn't just massive, it's weird. He's really fucking odd. I have no idea how he got as far as he did having such scrambled brains. Is he really that charismatic? I don't see it myself. Then again, I didn't even know who this dude was until this shit went down.

R441 Tariq is on right now. He is very suspicious of why the sudden need for a lynching law. (Is this the bill they are hiding the new trans laws behind?)

That GMA interview is hilarious to watch now in light of everything that’s gone down in the past 24 hours. RR is not buying the story at all.

[quote]Do u guys think the grand jury will vote to indict him? I guess it depends on how many black people are on it

[quote]OJ part 1.5

Hilarious. Yes, because this country has zero history of all-white juries setting white defendants free despite all the evidence of their guilt.

Jussie may be a liar and a fraud but that doesn't negate the fact that these threads have been fueled primarily by racist, MAGA trash enjoying a rare moment of innocence -- a moment that he stupidly gave them.

R441, oh yeah, Tariq is linking the lynching law to the LGBT bill (which is really a trans bill that will redefine the meaning of "woman" and "man".)

The GMA interview is cringe-worthy...his drama, his crying. Totally over the top and theatrical

Is Jussie short for something? It’s sounds kind of antebellum

Jussie may have enough doubt if the Nigerians don't have text messages to avoid a conviction, but if he's indicted by the grand jury, he'll be guilty in public opinion and lose his job.

MAGA trolls are dumb for aiming their fire of false conspiracy theories at Kamala. They should be targeting Lee Daniels and Frank Galston. Hit the black entertainment $$ that would freak out TPTB.

I don't get the people like Ira Madison who are sticking with Jussie at this point. If you get out now, all will be forgiven by your friends/media/Hollywood. But there will always be one dead ender sacrificed.

Jussie is more than a liar and a fraud. He has made it more difficult for any future black gay boys to come forward when being beaten up and to be believed. He is a true villain and he makes me as angry as any damn trump.

The hysterical leftist victimhood bullshit ENDS TODAY.

His father was white but he refused to have a white boyfriend on his show -- how could he do that to his people?

R450, Booker has a JD and he's negating his own logic?!

apparently that top lawyer he shares with michael Cohen already quit today over a "difference of opinion" over the advisability of sending out that moronic denial letter.

Jussie is intensely stupid.

Booker is attempting to put the best spin he can on his foolish error. But his response makes zero sense, so he comes across as an idiot.

Has Miss Don Lemon weighed in yet on her friend Jussie?

Will Empire's numbers go up when it returns from its winter break?

r497 Post what he said girl, don't make us go looking for it, giving him undeserved clicks.

I see it now at r450. Sorry girls!

I have wondered that too, R426, esp with Sunshine Sachs, this is the sort of narrative they go for, soap operaish. Supposedly ratings were down?

What about Frank, what are folks saying about HIM?

Thank you r487. This story never added up to me, but the casual racism In this thread is way more disturbing than a narcissistic actor PR stunting.

Don Lemon hasn't tweeted since the 14th and that was just a quick reply to Regina King. Nothing. Nada.

I think of TV people were involved it would have been better executed. Like maybe for for broke and hire real white guys. And not do it in Chicago. And order sun chips

Anyone who mentions the bell curve of IQ in this context is a RACIST !!!

R491, allow us to shake..no, throttle you awake. Please dissect your own statement in a quiet corner:

MAGA trolls are dumb for aiming their fire of false conspiracy theories at Kamala. They should be targeting Lee Daniels and Frank Galston. Hit the black entertainment $$ that would freak out TPTB."

You're calling someone else dumb. That's rich 😅

I think most people on this thread have probably encountered someone like Jussie in their real life - drama queen, attention seeking, playing the victim, theatrical...

the only difference is that he actually got caught this time, most narcissists like him get away with their psychopathy

Are black men and women less intelligent than white men and women R506?

Sun Chips get more attention than me, and I was actually THERE.

insanely doubling down on the hoax is classic nutty narcissistic behavior.

no wonder the lawyer quit.

Those Nigerians just love their scams.

I guess Jussie might have been trying to make sure the lynching bill passed (thus passing the new trans laws). I'd be shocked if Kamala or others were also involved in the hoax.

R493 you are correct. The beginning of the tide turning and that pendulum is gonna swing hard right.

It's a new day in America

Totally off topic, but I think Anderson Cooper is depressed. He hasn't posted on his personal Twitter since January 14 and on his Instagram since January 15th. I really think something is up with him. Sorry for the hijack.

His hoax might have a silver lining-

Maybe, in the future, the media will refrain from making declarative statements of guilt in active cases.

If every news report and article had used the word “alleged” in front of every single description of the alleged crime, this would have been less disastrous.

Salad, hang in there. Something tells me you will become a DL personality. Like Mike from the Palm Springs gathering, or Darfur Orphan, or, in your case, G

I saw a Sun Chip once.

R515 Is he jealous because Andy Cohen got a baby and he didn’t?

R519 I don't know, but now that you mention it, I looked back at that Instagram post, and it was actually a throwback photo of him that Andy took 10 years ago.

He might be more jealous that he's not getting any of Cohen's attention now that he's got a shiny new toy.

Did Jussie Smollett even graduate high school? Seriously, his critical thinking skills are abysmal. He should have watched a few episodes of CSI New York before concocting this hoax. The whole thing was amateurish and horribly executed

[quote] MAGA trolls are dumb for aiming their fire of false conspiracy theories at Kamala.

She did try to start a race war with this lynching nonsense and her ties to Jussie. There are a lot of voters that will have serious problems with that. Understand this now, or try to deny the reality and lose again.

Doesn’t Anderson go to Brazil this time of the year? Usually with Wonky Eye- but he’s busy selling his new prop. Or maybe it’s time to be on the old dirty gypsy DVF’s yacht in a tropical paradise.

I didn't realize that Jussie Smollett was a child actor and took off about 15 years before he starred on Empire. I wonder what he did in the meantime?

Maybe, Jussie has escaped to a country that doesn't have an extradition treaty with America.

“If I fall in love down the road with a woman, I'm going to love that woman." - Jussie Smollett, explaining why he is reluctant to label himself gay

Jussie and I both share the same feeling that, yes, even though we are gay, we're sexual human beings. And we do occasionally want to sleep with a woman." Daniels stated that "We're showing life on Empire", in that both he and Smollett were incorporating their own sexual fluidity as gay men into Empire.

Jussie was anally birthed.

Jussie's mom apparently is Black Panther and friends with Angela Davis. Looks like this so-called hoax was politically motivated. Either that or he is crazy.

They just covered it on the evening news in Chicago. They are straight out saying he set it up. The local black activists have started speaking out against him and how his actions lessen the real racist crimes and their victims. It's especially bad because the order of the stories tonight was the Aurora shooting and all the grieving families and the support for the police officers that probably saved many people by going in and taking the shooter out as five of them were shot in the process. Then, they start talking about Smollett making up his shit story.

[quote]She did try to start a race war with this lynching nonsense and her ties to Jussie.

What is deplorables' obsession with black people "trying to start a race war"?

Kamala Harris (or, more likely, a young staffer) sends a dumb tweet. "Trying to start a RACE WAR!"

What's next? Nipsey Russell recites a dumb poem on a Match Game rerun? "Omigod, he was TRYING TO START A RACE WAR!"

It would appear his original lawyer Monico was so against his strong denial (and I’m paying him as a fitness trainer BS excuse) statement that he said he wouldn’t represent him if he was determined to put out such a stupid statement.

Obviously Monica knows he’s guilty as shit and wanted to try to play it smart and stay quiet but Jussie knows best and was too mad about the real beating he’s taking in the media and SM so released it anyway. His new attorneys are in for a hell ride if Jussie is determined to play innocent victim absurdity to the hilt - which is fantastic for us.

Jussie has spent too much time convincing himself that because some MAGA racists exist somewhere that he’s totally justified in his hoax cuz it could’ve happened!!! He’s going to play the ridiculous hysterical lying sack of shit until either the cops or his own lawyers force it otherwise.

I predict Jussie will end up trying to accuse the Nigerians of blackmail or attacking him for xxx reason while disguised as MAGA terrorists. Even with all the proof against him he will keep telling absurd lies and flinging accusations at any target he can. Jussie cannot not be a victim!!

Re motive, I think r469 called it. He wanted to take down Trump, which would make him a big SJW hero. It's the sort of motive that a middle schooler might think up and act on--or somebody with a narcissistic personality disorder.

Well, child actors are not the brightest of the bunch. And are prone to having meltdowns.

Maybe this has to do with his MK Ultra monarch programming going haywire? LOL

More people on Black Twitter are starting to speak up about being pissed off. But so far, except for Roxane Gay, (and she was reasoned, not angry) no one famous that I can find at any rate.

One example:

@Pj_the_me_J Follow Follow @Pj_the_me_J More Replying to @ABCWorldNews @ErielleReshef Jussie Smollett just made life that much harder for Black people in this country. No exaggeration. We need to kick him out of the diaspora immediately. Don't let him come back on the "I was on drugs"/rehab tip. My ancestors lived the lies he pretended. Im disgusted. He's done.

8:07 PM - 17 Feb 2019

"I will never not be the person that this happened to." Words that will live in infamy, lol. Classic narcissist, thinks he's smarter than the average bear and that his charm and charisma can talk him out of anything. Even Sherri Papini knew enough to shut up and keep a low profile.

It's been hinted at before, but I want to bring it up again: Jussie's actions and delusions of grandeur sound just like TRUMP! Don't they? Make an obvious lie, make people WORK to correct you/disprove you, then keep with the lie and say you're being attacked. If Jussie wanted to take down trump, it's probably because THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!

R537

I will never not be is such a strange choice of words.

Why not just say, I will always be the person this happened to.

Something freudian going on

Yes, if this proves to have been a hoax, as evidence mounts that indeed it is, the REAL victims will turn out to be the black community and the gay community. There are real incidents, and we've seen them on other threads in DL - people being turned away from their own apartments, told to get out of pools, heads being smashed to the ground by police, etc. Now people will look at incidents like those and say, "maybe that was a set-up, a hoax, just like Jussie Smollet's". We didn't need this. The big question, which we might never get the answer to is , WHY?

The lawyer quit? Does anyone have a link for that? Thanks!

[quote] the REAL victims will turn out to be the black community and the gay community.

And easily duped Kamala Harris and Cory Booker.

It appears the staged assault was to take place in front of what Jussie throught was a camera that would record the whole thing - unfortunately the camera was aimed in the other direction. This explains his odd complaint during the GMA interview when he teared up and asked if it was his fault the camera was pointed in the wrong direction?

[quote] in that both he and Smollett were incorporating their own sexual fluidity as gay men into Empire.

Logic fallacy. If gay=homosexual then there can't be "sexual fluidity".

If this is how they define themselves then Jussie and Lee are just two other examples of shitty,crazy, lying Bis.

W&Wx1000 r540

His “agenda” was entirely too telegraphed in that GMA interview.

The lawyer stated he was representing him on Friday. By Saturday, 2 new lawyers put out a jaw dropping statement that NO lawyer should have advised. This weekend the guy who represented Cohen said he is no longer involved. Yes before the statement, no by the time it was issued. You do the math.

Jussie is also not cooperating re: additional interviews the cops are seeking. Ruh roh.

Anyone else a bit creeped out by how vast and extensive the surveillance state actually is?

Why is he not cooperating with the police? Doesn’t he realize how bad that looks? Or are he and his crisis team trying to come up with a way out of all this?

This whole American issued became twisted when Trump was elected combined with the leaders of the BLM losing the plot.

What is the real problem that needs to be addressed? The astute reason and need for a movement that gave rise to BLM. Unfortunately the chieftains who began with righteous intent armed with the backing of every single American stripe dropped the ball. Infighting led to disorientation. That's a damned shame!

After Trump pulled a fast one on our naturalized and legal residents (who EARNED their membership into our family) by stranding them in airports, January, no less, as they returned from family holidays...that was the spark! A moment in time. A new day in America as the fine American people displayed their valor and true character by protesting en masse, in the frigid temps for complete strangers outside of airport terminals. Self determination at its finest. Laid down the ole kibosh, they did.

You see where this is going

[quote]the REAL victims will turn out to be the black community and the gay community.

And I would argue the gay component will receive the MOST backlash. At least blacks don't have the added disadvantage of having a LOT of people think they're ALREADY fucking crazy.

two things to watch and delight in. Ellen Page on Colbert, Jussie on GMA. This next generation of homos is all victim no action.

OK, Part Seven is up. Don't @ me or R me bitching about it. I found out that when threads get really long, some people on their phones have trouble posting, so those folks can have it over there. If you other bitches don't mind continuing to post until this one fills up, that would be lovely.

Facial recognition technology is embedded on all our smartphones. That's how they were able to pin down that those 2 guys were Nigerian brothers. Our smartphones leave a digital footprint of all our whereabouts.

[quote]This explains his odd complaint during the GMA interview when he teared up and asked if it was his fault the camera was pointed in the wrong direction?

No Jussie, NONE of this is your fault. It never has been and never WILL be.

The post-hoax rehab interview will be must-watch TV.

And his new lawyer may want to quit too. High profile attorneys have their own reputations to consider. Jussie seems determined to make this as difficult as possible and not follow his lawyers advice and get totally destroyed. Lawyers want to be known for helping high profile clients get off or their wrists slapped, not known for representing a flaming trash heap who lied his way into jail, fines and becoming a laughing stock.

No credible lawyer wants to rep a loose cannon who won’t listen to sound advice because the end result of the client getting ass reamed by the courts makes the lawyer look bad too.

As someone previously mentioned the similarities between Jussie and Trump he does sound similar to Trump in your post, R556.

r547 The "surveillance state" is kinda big brother-y, yes, but honestly I'm also kinda glad for it. I mean, for one thing it's a fight that's already been lost in e.g. London, where you're virtually always on camera, and so far I don't hear about it violating peoples civil liberties so much as making crime and shit like this a hell of a lot easier to verify and solve. It's like police body cams, those protect the public AND the police. These cameras help the govt./investigators, but they actually DO make us safer (I think). Idk, maybe I'm just a 'statist pig,' as the libertarians say.

r556 Very true, though that said, Jussie's now ex famous lawyer's most notable client is that mess Cohen (no, not Andy)

This thread is only 10 hours old and already about to be filled up. Damn.

I’m just amazed at the incompetence. He could have driven to any small town, bought some gas as a paper trail and claimed it happened there, just have one of his Nigerian bros give him a black eye. Don’t even involve the cops, just post the story on social media, say BLM showed the police don’t care. You get your attention and you don’t end up with fraud.

This will make a great future SVU episode.

What the fuck with this OP's priss pissed pants? Anyone can start a thread - who needs praise?

You stayed at the crime scene a creeps amount of time OP. Get yourself a three piece and a biscuit.

I noticed one celebrity deleted their comment on Instagram supporting Jussie and the "injustice", etc. There were only 2 or 3 comments telling her it was a hoax so the deletion seems rather odd. She seems like a nice person so I won't post her name. I just don't have words for what he has done to people that believed him.

I was a victim over 30 years ago. I was beaten and raped because I was a gay woman. I'm not a victim today because I will not let that day define me. I'm saddened by the turn of events in this case.

I still want to believe he is innocent. I just can't imagine why someone would fabricate a horrendous event like this.

all three of them are gonna be charged. the brothers aren't gonna get off scott free

Jussie apparently made the cops very suspicious when he showed them where he was attacked and then pointed to a camera and said “good thing a camera is there to catch it.” Lol (The camera pointed in another direction, so my prediction he did try to stage it all for a viral video was correct.)

We get to see the hate mail, which looks like a preschooler sent it...and they’ve found a bunch of ripped up magazine in the Nigerians apartment. The FBI says thanks.

And Jussie said he was absolutely ready to press charges on his attackers, but then when cops revealed they had the Nigerians in custody he changed his mind.

God the cops must be having a million laughs with this epic moron at this point. He falls into every trap they lay like clockwork.

I want to know how Jussie got his lame little owie. He seems like a fragile thing. I can't imagine him standing there while the hot Nigerian dudes walloped him a few times. That fucking owie was probably fake too. It looked ketchupy.

OR...maybe it WAS a meatball sub after all!

Don’t forget his bruised (but not broken) ribs!

Awful. Known racists like Susan Collins and Lindsay Graham say thank you.

This thread is full of democrat racists. Casual as fuck. Posting over and over.

Oh look, a fucking repub @ R570 that stumbled here

I love how they still haven't figured out that using 'Democrat' in that way gives them away every single time.

The protests at the airport worked. This encouraged others to express their voice (including tiki torch bitches) and BLM started building incredible momentum. Everyone on board. Without focused leadership the rallies became discombobulated and status of our movement waned. Followed by loss of support.

What was once a systemic police enforcement problem of racism started to transfer onto a nonexistent issue with innocent fellow citizens.

Trump & the disintegration of BLM is why we're where we are today.

For the most part, American citizens are innocent. They're not unsophisticated rubes like the majority of police officers they're paying to abuse every single last one of them.

Time for the people to unite...as one. Use your power people.

These threads also remind me of the great Thai Schoolboy Saga of 2018 on the DL. I still dream about Pee-Pee and hope he is doing well at the make Nunnery and the other boys do not bully him when he pisses all over them.

As for Mussie Jussie, this has been thrilling to follow, as slow motion trainwrecks are so fucking sexy, and he is involved with such a total trainwreck now, and the stupid fucking prick refuses to back down! HEAVEN. Hope 'Empire' is not cancelled because of his shennanigans, as I truly believe this is going to devolve into a total shit show

I can't wait for Jussie the racist to go to jail. His soft ass "I fought the fuck back!!!" is gonna have a good ole time.

Um R550, you might want to rethink the predicate to that last statement because tonight and from here on now

Crazy is a compliment to as what people are truly thinking. Gay isn't even on the radar.

[quote]I can't imagine him standing there while the hot Nigerian dudes walloped him a few times.

True. If he had actually been physically attacked, his face would have been really messed up and he would have really traumatized. He may have stamped his feet a few times, but there was no physical altercation.

Jussie and his lawyers are going to turn this into Jussie’s word against the Nigerian brother’s words. If Jussie ever gets charged brought he’ll beat them. This happened in chicago. I don’t see a jury convicting him.

Has that Frank guy (boyfriend?) said anything, or has he gone to ground as well?

Has someone made the next thread?

R578 I'll swap him getting off on the hoax assault charges, as long as he gets into the Feds clutches with that letter.

Yes R580

R578, the Nigerian brothers were released very quickly from police custody after being arrested. I bet they are cooperating fully and their admissions are matching up and filling in blanks the CPD already had.

R580 Part Seven:

R566, that speaks volumes about his sociopathic tendencies. When the CPD told him they had two suspects in custody he was ready to press charges. He had no qualms about sending two innocent white men to prison for this fabricated crime. This guy is a total scumbag.

R582 link?

R584 thanks

Yes, the nervous nelly freak OP ("OMG! What I don't make a new thread in time and we can't link back to the old thread! OMG! What if I run out of vacation days at work and can no longer monitor "my" threads 24/7?) has of course prematurely ejaculated a new thread.

R132 I agree.....except I prefer a cute/handsome and a big dick. Body size doesn’t matter......okay it does, he can’t waddle when he walks.

Ok guys...new theory - what if this was just a kinky roleplay scenario gone wrong? What if he paid the guys to indulge his dark fantasy of being dominated and humiliated by two deplorables (while still getting that BBC)? And then he lied about it to this Frank dude who called the police?

What if this was a media blitz for the mid season of Empire?

R588 Fuck you, I did it because a lot of people on phones have been having trouble on DL when threads get long and they post. This hasn't affected your world at all, so bite me you churlish cunt.

BLM started losing steam when the public started to notice that like George Zimmerman, the majority of police brutality cases were being perpetrated by white hispanics. Sandra Bland, Philandro Castille and many others.

Real white people have nothing to fear

R590, why would he bother sending the threatening letter well before the "assault?" He was setting a threatening tone leading up to the fake attack.

R593 ok

R591 How will this effect 'Empire', surely it will.

Isn't a Grand Jury a big deal in the States?

R585, let's finish with your point.

Could have ruined an innocent white man's life without remorse.

Diabolical

[quote][R588] Fuck you, I did it because a lot of people on phones have been having trouble on DL when threads get long and they post. This hasn't affected your world at all, so bite me you churlish cunt.

LOL. It's so easy to rile you up.

He's toast. If he manages to avoid jail he'll be hit at least with a very hefty fine.

I watched Empire the first season, it sucked the 2nd season, I stopped after a few episodes.

I will NEVER watch anything he's in or pay to see him in anything.

They should get Jussie to host the Oscars. Can you imagine the ratings?

I wonder if anyone knew of his plan. Do you think his mom was in on it? or Frank? Surely they are telling him to tell the truth etc?

Career: OVER

R600 Would you pay for the anal video with the two Nigerians double teaming him?

They're all so dumb they probably texted each other to plan this fake attack. The public would have these records by now.

Yeah, R605, the cops have the Nigerians’ cell phones so they’ll have access to any calls/texts between them and Jussie leading up to the fake attack. That’s cold hard evidence that idiot Jussie won’t be able to squirm his way out of with a “they’re LYING” line of b.s.

A Black youtuber (someone called Joe Budden and lackeys) called it early
