More news from America’s new Royal Family

Ugh, I'm starting to hate the Smollett family more than the Katrashians and Trumps.

So brave.

An entire family of sociopaths.

Trump's presidency led to hundreds of thousands of deaths, economic collapse and the destruction of our democratic norms and institutions, along with potentially our democracy. And yes that's totally on par with an actor wasting criminal justice resources, by faking a hate crime and his family relentlessly supporting him. Meanwhile Karens waste police resources all day everyday, every time a black person so much as breathes. Meanwhile the nation is silent on Sherry Papini. When the nation finds equal outrage for Papini; I will perhaps locate some for Smollett.

Your title is stupid. Families support their loved ones. Even if they commit much more serious crimes. That is not unusual.

"I'm not just pleading Jussie's case. Tonight I put the ENTIRE SYSTEM on trial, and through this presentation, I will show..."

R4 no one is calling them "Karens" anymore except Certain People who really, really want to have a derogatory word to refer to white women akin to the "n" word.

R4, Your whataboutism is tiresome and immature. You sound like a kid who got caught cheating who thinks he can get away with it because someone else cheated too.

You spelled Biden wrong r4.

It's a very stupid family with a platform. That never ends well.

Guess who is never working in Hollywood again.

R10, Hollywood is being taken over by wokeness. I’m not so sure.

Anyway, this clown is trying to turn himself into a martyr, he should do his time. Like Mandela, eh! It’s really more poignant when you suffer.

R6 White Lady is equating Karen with the N word.

R6 You cannot appropriate the African Diaspora because you think that you have a Golden Vagina.

If his family thinks Jussie's innocent, who do they think attacked him that night in MAGA country? Have they explained why they haven't hired investigators to find the real bigots?

It's ray-sis to prosecute black people for crimes they comit.

White people are tired of being moralized and told they are complicit in racism, and cases like this just affirm that it's not as black and white as it seems, pun intended.

R12) You should have signed, “ I can steal everything I see”

R16 Well said. Jussie and his equally dumb ass and egotistical family are just making things worse.

A smollett of jerks.

A family made up of black Jews. Of course they’re nuts.

That ain’t cool, man.

The Smollett parents are probably the types that coddled Jussie and his siblings as children and then continued on through adulthood. I've known families like this, the parents enable shitty behavior and they feed into the kids that they are "special" and "above everyone else" and consequences don't apply to them.

R12 read it again, nimrod.

R22, honestly, that's the standard today as far as parenting goes. People today cannot stand it when someone criticizes their child or tells them "no". It's led to an entitlement attitude for sure.

This is what happens when the Jussie Gravy Train stops running.

The thing that I find just breathtaking is the totally shameless way Jussie has used race and sexuality as weapons to shield himself from criticism. Just totally cynical and sociopathic.

It's also sadly predictable the way certain posters show up and defend him because admitting he played everyone makes them defensive as they think it reduces their own sense of victimhood.

Too bad he isn't black and trans, you really could have got your hate on OP.

R27 = Jussie

Since Jussie's siblings have the same entitled asswipe attitude, I would say it's only a matter of time before one of them does something stupid and ends up in trouble with the law.

[quote] "I'm not just pleading Jussie's case. Tonight I put the ENTIRE SYSTEM on trial, and through this presentation, I will show..."

The very definition of narcissism. LOL!

These people are like the Kardashians only even more obnoxious.

R27 I don’t recall Laverne Cox pulling a stunt like this. But that’s probably because she was too busy, you know, being a WORKING actress.

I guess the Smollet parents are nothing like mine were.

"If you get arrested, don't call us and if the school calls us, we are going to kick your ass all the way home."

I got that speech repeatedly growing up, from about 9 y.o. on.

R3,2 American parents are wayyy to obsessed with their kids self-esteem. I'm not saying beat your kids or verbally abuse them but if you don't correct your kids or listen to others when they criticize your kids, you're just raising a narcissist, not someone with high self-esteem.

That should be *R32*

Hilarious how Jurnee will post #FreeJussie with #StopLockingUpOurPeople on Instagram, and then disable comments.

She's a dumb bitch.

R35 Does any anyone in that whole goddam family have a normal name? Does he have another sister named Vondeleesha?

R36 yes but she changed it to LaHonda Jackson Smolett.

R4 But it's the LYING. Does the family concede that Jussie fabricated the entire thing AND that he betrayed public trust AND that he didn't help the cause of justice for blacks and gays AND that he wasted public resources.

DOES THE FAMILY CONCEDE ALL THAT???

Fucking dumbass R4.

AND THAT HE THREW HIS TWO ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED FRIENDS UNDER THE BUS?

pathetic level of moral reasoning at R4.

R4, changing his surname to Enabler as soon as he can get his heels on to clatter down to the courthouse.

Was it brought up at his trial that he pretended to be his brother when he got a DUI? I feel like that isn’t known publicly,

Jocqui? JOCQUI!?!

Damn. To know your parents hated you from the get-go.

Deport the whole family.

So typical.

R43, I think they pronounce it Jock-wa.

[quote]A family made up of black Jews. Of course they’re nuts.

I have to agree it explains a lot. Jussie being black Jewish and gay. Im sure his parents conditioned their children to always be on alert for people who would treat them differently. Unfortunately Jussie developed the persecution complex. He is also extremely arrogant which doesn't help at all.

I get supporting your sibling, but you can do that privately. The fact that this family keeps making up excuse after excuse is just laughable.

Jussie and his family are consistent.

Even after bounding outta Cook County, Jussie still ain't eating, last I heard

The bathhouse brothers cashed a check and had a phone on them during the Uber drive, and that phone has now disappeared. You have an eyewitness security guard whose story matches Jussie.

No "proof of a hoax" exists yet.

Jussie testified in his own defense.

And Jussie's now outta jail.

Jussie already served his community service, which can't be taken back.

R49 he was proven guilty in a court of law. He's guilty and was sentenced. He's challenging the verdict but it's unlikely to do much.

Also, Elvis is no longer alive, either, and there are no moon men.

[quote]there are no moon men.

HOW VERY DARE YOU!

[quote]You have an eyewitness security guard whose story matches Jussie.

No it does not.

Maybe Jussie will pull a Bobby Seale. Until someone shows him a Subway Salad. "Jussie Dies After Hunger Strike." Strike the dinner gong, more like.
