Former 'Empire' actor Jussie Smollett files counter lawsuit against the city of Chicago, claiming that authorities 'maliciously' prosecuted him after he claimed he was attacked by two masked assailants.
Former"Empire" actor Jussie Smollett has filed a counter lawsuit against the city of Chicago, claiming that authorities"maliciously" prosecuted him after he claimed he was attacked by two masked assailants in January.
As doubts about his story developed, police questioned two brothers in connection to the alleged attack, who told authorities Smollett allegedly paid them to help stage the crime. The counter lawsuit was filed in response to a lawsuit the city filed against Smollett in April, requesting $130,000 in civil penalties, damages and attorney's fees and costs arising from Smollett's"false statements."
The document also states that the city of Chicago"is not entitled to recover further costs for services" because Smollett already paid $10,000.
