Jussie Smollett Did NOT Pay Brother $3,500 for 'Attack'
TMZ ^ | 2/23/2019 | Staff

The Chicago PD claims Jussie Smollett paid Ola and Abel Osundairo $3,500 to fake an attack, but sources connected to the case tell TMZ that's just not the case.

Our sources say the brothers made a deal with Jussie to train him for 5 weeks so he could get in shape for an upcoming music video. Jussie had said to Ola that he wanted abs like his. Both Abel and Ola agreed to train Jussie, and also give him a 5-week nutrition plan.

Our sources say Jussie told the brothers he would pay them for their services, but no specific amount was discussed.

A few days before the "attack," Jussie wrote the brothers a check for $3,500. The memo line read, "5 weeks training nutrition plan."

Our sources say Ola and Abel told the grand jury they were paid for the 5-week program and not for the "attack." One source connected with the brothers did say Ola and Abel felt the amount was "a little high" but no one ever specifically said anything about any of the money being part of a scheme.

We've learned the brothers also told the grand jury that they had nothing to do with the threatening letter mailed to Jussie Smollett 8 days before the "attack."

“Of course” it was for the workouts. Every coke dealer accepts cash “for personal mentoring” and “life energy coaching” as well.

Being the brothers were not charged with anything, this is a real good angle for them.

What about the video of the brothers buying the rope and masks at the store? What about the brother telling the cops they sold Molly to the guy?

Probably their legal jeopardy is greater if they admit to being paid.

Probably the only time the Daily Show feed got retweets from Trump supporters.

Oh, so the scheme to lie to police and file false reports and foment racial division nationwide is perfectly okay then, just so long as the guys who plotted it with him were buddies, and not paid for it. Got it.

Well, the FBI is involved, so they’ll probably exonerate him, as well as uncover Trumps involvement, colluding with white supremacists, and stuff.

I am so done with this story. I’ve stopped listening.
I don’t care how it twists and turns anymore.

And his producers were prone to headaches, so he mailed them some aspirin. The tablets must have been crushed in the mail.
