Jussie Smollett

After reading a couple of articles in the Chicago Sun Times, this looks like another political quagmire involving Chicago PD, the prosecutor seemingly at war with them, various political pressures, race relations. Enough material for a good season / series  of The Wire.

"But prosecutors said the decision does not mean they believe Smollett is innocent. “We didn’t exonerate him,” assistant state’s attorney Joe Magats told the New York Times, adding that prosecutors stood by the charges but thought the outcome was fair. “Public safety is our number one priority. I don’t see Jussie Smollett as a threat to public safety.”

The “Empire” strikes out.

Jussie Smollett‘s TV drama crashed and burned Wednesday night, when 3.97 million viewers tuned in – the lowest ratings in the show’s history, according to TVLine.

A day earlier, Smollett told reporters that he was ready “to get back to work” after Chicago prosecutors dropped all criminal charges against him for allegedly fabricating a racial and homophobic attack.

Fox has not said whether “Empire” will be renewed for another season.

Lee Daniels, the show’s co-creator and executive producer, has said that the past few weeks have been “a freakin’ rollercoaster” for the cast and crew.

Forgot to ask, what movement was he talking about in his I-am-innocent speech?

 

“This has been an incredibly difficult time, honestly one of the worst of my entire life. But I am a man of faith and I am a man who has knowledge of my history and I would not bring my family, our lives or the movement through the fire like this. I just wouldn’t.”

My entire opinion on the whole sorry episode is I can't fucking stand his name. 

Christian name sounds like a Kiwi calling one of the Dukes of Hazzard, surname like a sneeze.

 

He can crawl right into the fucking bin.
