In the wake of the exposure of actor Jussie Smollett's race-baiting hoax, it has now been revealed that Smollett has lied to the police before -- and been convicted of it.

And every thinking American is asking: why didn't the media report this before?

The year was 2007 and Smollett was pulled over for a DUI in Los Angeles, NBC Philadelphia reported.

The actor of the hit Fox show Empire, before the height of his fame, decided to lie to police and gave cops his younger brother’s name.

Smollett was charged with false impersonation, driving under the influence and driving without a license but the actor made a plea deal and pleaded no contest to providing false information.

The actor was given two years probation and his choice of a fine in the case, a spokesperson for the department told NBC News.

The fake beat up scene and lying is nothing
He is going to go down big time for the fake anthrax mailing thing that’s a federal felony with the minimum 10 year prison term
The feds really really really don’t like those envelopes with white powder

Good informative post. The type of stuff that overcomes the excessive number of barf post on FR and makes this site worth supporing.

What a scumbag. Was willing to set up his own brother for his crime. Worthless POS.

More proof of my decades old assertion that most actors aren’t all that smart.

Like in Little Fauss and Big Halsey when Robert Redford saw the same two girls in bed with each other again after a threesome was over:
“Well, they say once is cute but twice is queer.”

This creepy Smollet guy already fulfilled that second aspect before committing the false charge crime again.

This report didn't appear by accident, and wasn't something stumbled upon by an ace reporter. Juicy Smellit has embarrassed the left and must be destroyed; it's how they operate.

Hope he enjoyed that Subway sammich.

He’s got friends in politics obviously. He’ll get off with maybe a fine.....since he mailed it to himself. If he had mailed it to someone else, it would change the whole ballgame.

"And every thinking American is asking: why didn't the media report this before? "

And every non thinker was saying yeah, he must be believed because of...well...his skin color and his sexual proclivities.

“...why didn’t the media report this before?”

Because no one wanted to be accused of being “a racist, a sexist, a homophobe, a xenophobe,” to borrow wisdom from Bernie Sanders.

And there is bound to be more shades of racism embedded in there somewhere.

Oh stop.. go somewhere else and “suppor” them.

Take your mouse in your right hand, use the scroll button and scroll on by, the what you call “excessive number” of barf posts, no you said “post”, singular. See, methinks you either slept on the wrong side of the bed or you really don’t like it here. Because if a Conservative doesn’t like something we just scroll on by or we may say something a tad snarky. Be off with ye!!
