Prosecutors drop all charges against ‘Empire’ actor Jussie Smollet, who police had said staged a hate-crime attack
On March 14, "Empire" star Jussie Smollett returned to court to plead not guilty to 16 counts of disorderly conduct and lying to the police about his alleged attack on Jan. 29. The new charges were filed on March 8.On Feb. 22, Fox announced it was suspending Smollett, one day after the actor was charged with filing a false police report about his alleged Jan. 29 assault. Fox said his character, Jamal Lyon, would be cut out of the final two episodes of Season 5.
The stunt was orchestrated by Smollett because he was dissatisfied with his salary so he concocted a story about being attacked."On Feb. 22, less than 10 days after interviewing Smollett on"Good Morning America," Robin Roberts called his arrest a"setback for race relations, homophobia, MAGA supporters – the fingers were pointed at them. I cannot think of another case where there's this anger on so many sides, and you can understand why there would be.
