Chicago police have concluded that the alleged attack on “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett was staged, according to two local media reports.
Police spent much of Thursday interviewing two persons of interest in the case, who are believed to have been seen on surveillance images on the night of the attack.
Rob Elgas, a reporter at ABC 7 in Chicago, reported Thursday afternoon that “multiple sources” said that Smollett and the two men staged the attack because his character was being written off the show. Brad Edwards, a reporter at CBS Chicago, cited a source who said that investigators believe the “non-cooperating 2 witnesses are co-conspirators in a potentially staged attack.”

Oh, I imagine he'll have a comment or two...
They will no doubt. Actually they still haven’t make it official that he lied. I still say they’ll bury it and forget about it so liberals can dig it up every now and then as “evidence of racism by Trump supporters”.

I’m deeply horrified and saddened by the racist and homophobic attacks against @JussieSmollett. He is a kind and profoundly talented soul whom I respect with all my heart. The terror of racism and homophobia has no place in our society, it is the most indecent way to live...
...whoever did this, do not forget that you are nothing but hate filled cowards while Jussie’s talent and activism will continue to shine a bright light on to the world for decades to come.
I think it's headed for the Memory Hole at a rapid rate.
I saw this over at Ace of Spades, and it seems the story came from some twitterer (whatever one is supposed to say), I have to imagine Variety backed this up. Who knows nowadays, though really.
I mean, we all KNOW it’s BS but how do you prove that? This scenario is plausible, and so hilarious if true!
If they get busted the guys who “attacked” him can say: hey, he told us we were acting a scene, we don’t know what made him get kooky about things and call the cops and all.
Another fake “hate crime”. They become quite popular with the lefties.
Juicy will be in rehab soon complaining that he cracked under the pressure of being written out of Empire by the homophobic cracker producers.
DU is going to be hilarious tonight.
So after a 2 week investigation the case turns out to be a steaming pile of SMOLLET?
They're avoiding the "Breaking News" thread like the plague. A whopping 12 posts so far.

Yep, we’ll just stop hearing about it, as with so many other news stories, pretty much all of which are far more important than this TMZ very special episode.
A PR stunt to get his name out there......he even had PR advice when he went whining to Robin Roberts.
Who ever heard of the guy before this?
Two Nigerians helped him.......wonder how much they got paid?
