ABC employees were dubious about Jussie Smollett’s alleged racist and homophobic assault immediately following his interview with Robin Roberts, a new report says.
Staffers who were present for the exclusive sit-down with the “Good Morning America” host felt the truth behind Smollett’s story was “up in the air,” sources told The Blast.

Have they broken it to Robin yet?
Bingo... This is nothing but CYA.
I’ve read somewhere that his show’s ratings were tanking and he has a record album coming out in a couple of weeks.
So it could have been to get his name out there for a future acting job and to sell his record.
Robin Roberts completely embarrassed ABC and GMA - but everyone knows that not a damn thing will happen to her. The BS interview will be glossed over.
KH knew JS from Hollywood or California introductions. The JS lynch story comes out and the next day KH’s Lynching Bill p-asses the Senate. Thought Lynching was already on the book as a hate crime and murderer. She wanted a major bill to run on and this dimwit did it for her.
Most of us on FR were dubious by 3 posts into the first thread about the incident.
The incident seemed too scripted to be real. Turns out, it was — scripted, that is. Also, turns out it wasn’t a very good script, either. Too many hot-button embellishments over-sold the incident.
What are the names of these Deniers?
Yes, it was orchestrated no doubt. The interview was so openly and clearly a hoax.
The whole premise was that if I trash Trump, I’ll look great in the eyes of my people and fans,
But instead of just coming out against Trump he plays the victim like they all do...
This guy will probably do jail time...He’ll confess to everything...claim that he’s mentally ill...etc...
His career is over...way over.
Even the corrupt press needs some wiggle room to push out liberal lies on the country.
I wonder what 'tipped off' the ABC 'doubters (other than their credibility taking a major hit)?
Maybe a hint was that Chicago is a 89% Democrat City? Or that the neighborhood in question is half black and half gay? Or that it was 15 degrees outside and the perps were carrying a bottle of bleach 'just in case' they ran into a victim? Or that black Nigerians are seldom rabid Trump Supporters? Or that Smollett’s attackers allowed him to keep his cell phone - and wallet? Or that Smollett wore the noose as a badge of honor for over an hour after the incident? What could possibly tip off the idiots in the press?
Next time ...- a "Smollett" needs to enlist the help of the corrupt ones in the Deep State... they KNOW HOW TO PLAY THE PRESS FOR FOOLS... WHILE FEEDING THEM.
Come on ABC - ask George Stephanopoulos - he ran a war room for Bill Clinton and he knows how the game is played.
An update, also from the NYP...
“Scenes featuring Jussie Smollett on the hit TV show “Empire” have been drastically cut amid the whirlwind of controversy surrounding his alleged hate attack, according to a report Tuesday.
The actor, who plays gay singer-songwriter Jamal Lyon on the show, was supposed to have nine scenes and a big musical performance in the second-to-last episode of Season 5, production sources told TMZ.
But five scenes and the musical number have been axed.
Smollett’s character is also no longer the focus of his remaining four scenes, which will now feature an ensemble of characters.”
HA! HA!
From the beginning, this thing smelled like Jussie’s pet gerbil.
No wonder Robin tossed up wiffle balls and gushed over him. She would be FIRED in the real world.
You left out “or that a Trump supporter would actually recognize a third tier actor from the show Empire?”.
Leave the gun, take the canolis
And everytime, they think I'm wrong until I'm proven right. Again.
Rinse. Lather. Repeat.
You're right - that one’s a major stretch...k Good catch Sans-Culotte.
