I believe he picked up some extra swiss cheese for his story. I ain’t buying it. Good PR for his “fluid” career.

Attack victim

On January 29, 2019, Smollett was attacked in Chicago in what was described as a possible hate crime.[25] Smollett said to police that he was attacked after leaving a fast-food restaurant by two white men in ski masks, who made racial and homophobic slurs.[25] According to a statement released by the Chicago Police Department, the two suspects then poured an unknown liquid on Smollett and put a noose around his neck.[26] Smollett said that he fought off the attackers; he then admitted himself to Northwestern Memorial Hospital from which he was released “in good condition” later that morning.[25][27]

SNIP - out of order and context

When Smollett’s gay character Jamal Lyon from Empire engaged in a heterosexual tryst with a female character, Smollett defended the plot development by stating that he and Empire creator Lee Daniels were trying to create a conversation about sexual fluidity in the gay community. Daniels has stated that “Jussie and I both share the same feeling that, yes, even though we are gay, we’re sexual human beings. And we do occasionally want to sleep with a woman.” Daniels stated that “We’re showing life on Empire”, in that both he and Smollett were incorporating their own sexual fluidity as gay men into Empire’.[24]

The jokes write themselves.

Smearing MAGA with this crap isn’t funny.

No video...YET.

Empire is filmed in Chicago and the studio is in production now.

Won’t take them long to get some soundstage footage.

Never heard of this Smollett person, but I followed your link to Wikipedia. This line probably points to why this young man is confused about his sexual identity:

He began his career as a child actor in 1987....
