As the Chicago police investigation into what really happened to Jussie Smollett in the alleged assault last month intensifies its focus on the Empire actor, the Fox drama is cutting the performer out of the action.

Deadline has confirmed with well placed sources that Smollett’s scenes in episodes of the Lee Daniels and Danny Strong co-created series are being slashed for production on Empire this week.

While the show is back at work today in the Windy City after the long weekend, Smollett will be a rare presence on the set of the Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard led show.

The actor has also been absent as Chicago PD request another interview with him. As Smollett himself has become the subject of deeper inquiry into the supposed assault that occurred in the early hours of January 29, detectives want to know more about the actor’s version of what happened that day on the streets of Chicago and any possible knowledge he may have to indicate the incident could have been preplanned.

To commit a hoax of a hate crime, should be double or triple damages to his sentencing to keep this garbage from happening again. ---

"Jussie Smollett tried to frame 65 million Americans with his ‘hater’ lies."

The never ending vilification of Donald Trump has sickened this nation. This particular shameless episode is one of the WORST.

Should be like that runaway bride who caused all the commotion and millions of dollars to be spent searching for her. They came down hard on her. She was, however, huwhyte.
