Jussie Smollett 'pissed off' that some doubt his attack: 'It's the truth'
EW ^ | February 13, 2019

Posted on 02/13/2019 1:05:44 PM PST by SMGFan

Jussie Smollett has some strong words for anybody who doubts he was the victim of a hate crime in Chicago last month.

The Empire actor tells Robin Roberts at Good Morning America in an advance preview of his upcoming interview that he’s “pissed off” by suggestions that he might not have been truthful in his police report.

“What is it that has you so angry? Is it the…attackers?” Roberts asked.

“Attackers, but it’s also the attacks,” Smollett replied. “It’s like, you know, at first, it was a thing of, like, ‘Listen, if I tell the truth then that’s it, ’cause it’s the truth.’ Then it became a thing of like, ‘Oh, how can you doubt that? Like, how do you — how do you not believe that? It’s the truth.’ And then it became a thing of like, ‘Oh, it’s not necessarily that you don’t believe that this is the truth, you don’t even want to see the truth.'”

His lawyer should advise him to start blaming the drugs.

I read that there were cameras everywhere, which monitored the area except for a 60 second gap. Now, I realize that a that significant criminal activity can happen in 60 seconds. Somebody can easily be slugged, stabbed, or shot in that period.

But, Jussie's narrative is a bit more extended. There was name-calling. Bleaching. Noose attachment. All in 60 seconds. Was this an "attack-attack?"

And, redacting the phone records? Not convincing.

It’s like, you know, like they do this, like, they do that.

Where is the truth? That’s what we all want to know.

Let the investigation lead wherever evidence takes them.

It’s hard to believe that two guys, boasting of being MAGA and Trump supporters, were out on a cold night, on the off chance they encounter an actor they don’t like, so they can attack him.

But, let’s see where the evidence leads.

Oh, well, if he’s mad that I think he’s LIAR I guess I’m required to not think so... Sure, two guys were hanging around with a rope and some bleach at 2 in the morning, without appearing on any cameras, jumped him and claimed the CHICAGO is MAGA country and he fought them off without dropping his sandwich, and then walked home with the rope still around his neck.

If it were the truth he wouyldn’t be angry at non-believers, just disappointed and saddened.

His reaction reveals much...................

Sounds like my late brother, who was diagnosed as a sociopath at age 13 by psychiatrists. If he told you a story or excuse he would get very angry if you did not believe his lies, and there were many. I never believed anything he ever said. If he told you the sky was blue, you better check.

This sounds just like Smollett..................

He did it for publicity for his failed show.

He needs to go to jail for it but won’t. Two get out of jail passes.
