The attorney for the two brothers allegedly involved in a staged attack on the actor issued a statement that claimed Smollett's lawsuit lacks merit.
Jussie Smollett is suing the city of Chicago, but he doesn't have the backing of Abel and Ola Osundairo. Gloria Schmidt, the attorney for the two brothers allegedly involved in a staged attack on the actor, issued a statement that claimed Smollett's case lacks merit.
Schmidt added:"The brothers were open and honest with the Chicago Police Department, testified under oath in front of a grand jury, and stand ready to do so again, in open court, if and when called upon to do so." In April, the city of Chicago filed a lawsuit against Smollett. The suit revealed that Smollett and the brothers had known each other for a few years. It also claims that Smollett gets drugs from the brothers and that they exercise together. The lawsuit asks to be compensated for the costs of investigating what it claims was a false attack.
Earlier in the year, Smollett was charged with 16 counts of disorderly conduct in connection with the attack, but in March they were dropped by Cook County State's Attorney Kimberly Foxx. She said the decision was a"just outcome based on the circumstances," according to news station KABC.
