Actor Jussie Smollett’s character on “Empire,” Jamal Lyon, may disappear during this season’s final two episodes because of charges he faked his own racist, homophobic attack.
But it hasn’t stopped Fox from requesting security and traffic-control assistance from Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart’s office when it films scenes for an “Empire” episode Wednesday at Paw Paw Woods.
“It just seemed beyond the pale this request would come on the heels of Smollett being charged yesterday,” said a spokesman for Dart’s office.
“They wanted to know if we had officers available,” said the spokesman. “They claimed they may be doing some stunt driving, but did not mention Smollett,” according to the spokesman.

“And they also volunteered to pay the security costs from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. that day.”
Will Smollett’s character die in a car accident if they decide to permanently erase him from the Empire series?
Sneed also hears mega attorney Mark Geragos has now become the main attorney for Smollett; the Chicago lawyers are no longer on the team.

Interesting to see that he is burning through lawyers so quickly... translation may be that they know that he is lying and cannot mount a defense.
Hmm ... will the security for this uber-liberal show be armed?
False-flag operations a possibility here.
What...are they expecting more Nigerians?
Mark Geragos LMAO!
Jussie Smollett = House negro.
He’s much smarter than the rest of us.
Geragos can’t practice in Ill.; he never took and passed the Ill. Bar exam and so has no license to work there. He can “advise”, but he can’t do anything else there.
For any fake attempts.
Publicity stunt.
Maybe his character could commit suicide....
The buzz is Smollett was x’ed out of Empire b/c his presence caused chaos on the set.
Maybe they’re acting to get protection out of the belief he may storm the set...... to which he’s no longer welcome.
Perhaps there are more checks out there that have not come into play?
Maybe his character could be lynched....
Mark Geragos has LOST every high profile case he has defended, perhaps Smollett should find a different attorney!!!
______________
Just maybe he will .......
Not hoping for it, but he knows where the rope comes from.
Smollett created the problem. Let him pay for security during all the filming. Illinois taxpayers should haven’t to pick up the tab.
Publicity stunt.
