The thing is, it just wasn't believable. If all he said was that he was randomly punched or pushed over by someone walking past, only a jerk would disbelieve. But the story he presented was so fantastical...

[arista]

This Fella is so stupid
Paying 2 blokes to hurt him.

He was even on USA ABC news 14th Feb
peddling his Corruption


Police have now spoke to the 2 blokes that got paid

It did and does sound like the truth has not yet come out, but it will

[LeatherTrumpet]

Maybe Smollet was using his bank account to rest $66,000,000 from the 2 Nigerian brothers as they could not keep it in their at this time and Smollet gets to keep the interest

This has been found on his phone

I mean what self respecting human would ignore this humanitarian plea and at the same time could make a few quid?

I don't know if this has been discussed, but the police actually got the phone records from Smollett's supplier before he handed over the redacted version, so all they had to do was investigate the ones he deleted.

In all seriousness though, and more important than all of this... How is his name pronounced? Is it "Juicy"? Cos I want to say Juicy.

It kind of sounds like a liver complaint tbh ...

"Yes Mr Jackson, I'm afraid you've got a touch of the jussie smollett, but don't worry, these pills will clear it right up..."

[Oliver_W]

There's more, friendos.

Shortly before the attack, a threatening letter was sent to Smollett at the Empire studios, which made certain media outlets start crying:


However, when Smollett's possible co-conspirator's apartment was raided, they found some torn up magazines...

I think that's mean to be a tree, rather than a giant with dreadlocks or malformed penis?

Spoiler:

although the handwriting on the envelope is probably the same as most of Empire's fanmail

I believe Jussie Smollett’s side of the story

[bitontheslide]

It seems like Smollett is the first American to scam 2 Nigerians

Based on what?

[LeatherTrumpet]

Because he is gay and black?

Or maybe because the story he told is completely believable and doesn't sound made up, even with the stuff which has since came to light?

What I thought when certain members’ initial response to the news was “Just his word to go on”

If he'd have said he got pushed over and called a ****** and that was that, no-one would doubt it. But he painted such a ridiculous picture that it was obvious he was lying.

Was that really the mindset of those doubting him though
