JUSSIE SMOLLETT- 'I SWEAR TO GOD, I DID NOT DO THIS' Pleads to 'Empire' Cast
TMZ ^ | 1-21-2019 | TMZ

Posted on 02/21/2019 8:05:57 PM PST by tcrlaf

Jussie Smollett is begging his "Empire" family to believe he's innocent and continue supporting him -- even as the drama of his arrest postponed a scene Thursday in Chicago. Sources on the "Empire" set tell us the cast and crew were waiting at least 30 minutes for Jussie to begin the scheduled scene. When he eventually showed his face he was very emotional, and surrounded by his family. We're told he addressed everyone on set, saying ..."I’m sorry I’ve put you all through this and not answered any calls. I wanted to say I’m sorry and, you know me, I would never do this to any of you, you are my family. I swear to God, I did not do this.” After that, he left the set. We're told it was obvious Jussie had been crying a lot, so producers said he would have to come back later. He did, and we're told he is currently shooting the scene.

This narcissistic creep is going to roll over on whoever put him up to it. If he lives that long. What is the betting pool? Assisted suicide? Or “Tragic Accident”?

It is making me wonder who put him up to it. OTOH the affair does not seem to be the work of criminal masterminds.

He’s an actor, this is all an act. He made stupid decisions and doesn’t have the guts to admit it.

Among leftists, weeping is a sure sign of sincerity.

We’re told it was obvious Jussie had been crying a lot, so producers said he would have to buy more Vicks Vaporub to
rub under his eyes...

Ypu, you vant believe how many women cry when they lie. They cry even harder when evidence proves they were lying all along.

Just look at Jussie for example.

I think producers, directors, crew, and other actors are a fairly tough audience.
