Terrence Howard has spoken out in defense of Jussie Smollett following his arrest for allegedly staging a hate crime.
The Empire actor who plays patriarch Lucious Lyon posted a video to Instagram Sunday of Smollett playing with a child who appears to be Howard’s son; Smollett portrays Lucious Lyon’s son on the Fox series.
“All your lil homies got you. We love the hell outta you,” Howard wrote with a heart emoji. Howard’s Empire co-star Gabourey Sidibe also commented on the post with three heart emojis.
However, Howard received backlash from former Scandal actor Columbus Short who asked that he condemn the allegedly fake attack, USA Today reported.
“Whatever game was played is u acceptable,” Short commented. “And yes I am speaking on your page loudly and clearly. I look up to you Terence. You have to take a leadership position. And denounce this (expletive). Otherwise you as dumb as he is. Period!”
Howard wrote an impassioned reply to another commenter saying, “Sorry you feel that way but that’s the only Jussie I know. The Jussie I know could never even conceive of something so unconscious and ugly.”

Such hatred from the Left.
Yeah framing two white dudes in a bogus attack so they can spend the rest of their life in prison, yeah its all good
Blood is thicker than water.
Sorry you feel that way but that’s the only Jussie I know.
Yeah we love you for your fake race hate crime and blaming whitey for it. Youre good bro.
What hateful wicked people.
Leftists don’t care if innocent people end up in jail as long as they can continue promoting their victimhood agenda. Jussie wanted to be a professional victim, he saw it as his key to stardom
Y izzit dey can’t speak English?
Careful Terrance, before you get tarred with the same brush.
“So you’re just fine with Jussie wasting police hours, taxpayer money and almost causing a Race Riot just to boost his status. You’re okay, knowing he was willing to send innocent suspects to jail had they not been his Nigerian pals?”
Then why do we have laws, courts and judges?
Jussie is a filthy bigot.
Obviously, Mrs. Howard’s little Terry would love to see a race war in the U.S. What a pig.
Here is another statement from [Saul Alinsky's] Rules for Radicals: “We are always moral and our enemies always immoral.”The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the immorality of the opposition, of conservatives and Republicans.
If they are perceived as immoral and indecent, their policies and arguments can be dismissed, and even those constituencies that are non-political or “low-information” can be mobilized to do battle against an evil party.
From David Horowitz, Uniting The Right, as quoted in this interesting blog: Maverick Philosopher
I know hip-hop isn't most FReeper's forte, but watch "Hustle and Flow." Excellent movie.
YOU IDIOTS. No one believed Bill Cosby could be good and bad at the same time. People still play michael Jackson (for another month or so).
There are a lot of shades of grey but this Smollett HURT YOU if you are black or gay. He hurt supporters of the President, but he also did grave injury deliberately to his OWN communities!! Don’t forgive him too quickly. He’s got serious mental health issues and he’s selfish af.
Terrence Howard did a great job in “Mr. Holland’s Opus”.
So sad he is a leftwing kook.
Terrance Howard in full delusional mode. He needs to lay off the drugs and booze, clear his head and face reality. What a stupendous racist FOOL.
Had to look up Howard. Sort of recognize him. As of the hoaxer, never heard of him before the headlines. I could easily live without ever hearing of either.
It’s O.J. Simpson syndrome all over again. He’s innocent because we say He’s innocent.
