Mark Geragos and Tina Glandian, for defamation, claiming the attorneys lied to the media and tried to make it appear Ola and Abel Osundairo were the culprits in a real, homophobic and racist attack.
The brothers filed the case in Chicago federal court, claiming Jussie "used his clout as a wealthy actor to influence [the brothers] who were in a subordinate relationship to him and were aspiring to 'make it.'"
The suit says when Tina Glandian went on 'GMA,' "Today" and the Reasonable Doubt podcast after the charges against Jussie were dismissed, she told a string of lies ... including the brothers wore whiteface during the attack and the brothers were involved in an illegal Nigerian steroid trafficking ring.
The lawsuit also claims Glandian falsely claimed one of the brothers "engaged in fornication with Mr. Smollett." As for Geragos, the suit claims he "repeatedly indicated that plaintiffs conspired to criminally attack Mr. Smollett, and by doing so, implied plaintiff's committed perjury" to the Grand Jury and conspired to make false statements to the Chicago PD.
The suit doubles down and says the brothers never knew Jussie would go to the cops ... rather, he was staging the "attack" for social media.

Presser coming up on FOX now...
I thought from the start they looked like Nigerian rent boys.
“Personal trainer”??? LOL!
"We're here to *CLAP* Pump You Up!!"
Social catfights now qualify as Breaking News? Free Republic you’ve certainly come down in the world.
This is going to be good.
Lol! People were bending over backwards to avoid saying what everyone really thought happened.
These guys actually did nothig wrong.
As far as they knew, Jussie got a kick out of being beat up...
Or something.
But if someone pays you money and then tell you to act like you are beating him up, what are you doing wrong? (criminally)
It was only when Jussie reported it as a crime that it became an actual crime (false report).
They may or may not have known he was going to do that (If I was their lawyer they certainly wouldn’t)
These guys are nobodies...
Nobodies with dirt that runs against approved Democrat narratives have a nasty habit of ending up dead from botched robberies, Tragic accidents, or tragic suicides.
Tina and Jussie.
I hear Tina got a call from Kim Foxx. Seems Foxx has an opening or two in her office.......BOL.
Representative of two ‘swamps’ that need draining - unethical attorneys seeking high profile cases, and the entertainment industry.
No question...........
Shortly after the Nigerians’ role came to light, it was reported that one of them had been Jussie’s “boyfriend” for a short time. (Male homosexuals’ relationships do tend to be fleeting.) That nugget was dropped from subsequent reports.
After all the smoke cleared, I thought these two guys should go over to the WWF, join up as wrestlers, and have some Jussie-pretend-fight business going on there. Would have given them a five-year standing with wrestling.
I love it when the members of the race of professional victims start to cannibalize themselves.
Geragos is in trouble with Avanetti, iirc!
Jussie better be careful.
With rate his life is falling apart, he won’t ever be able to buy any green bananas.
Three black guys are the only participants and it’s “racist”
I don’t think they know what the word means.
