He'll try anything! 'Immuno-compromised' Jussie Smollett complains about the risk of COVID in jail and says psych ward is harming his mental health as his lawyers ask for him to be freed (again) just five days into his 75 day sentence

Five days into his 75-day jail sentence, Jussie Smollett is now complaining that he is at risk of COVID in jail and is worried about his mental health so should be let out early.

Smollett, 39, is being held in the medical unit of the Cook County Jail.

His family say he is being held in the psych ward and that there's a note on the door of his cell saying he is at risk of self-harm - which they insist isn't true.

They say it speaks to Smollett's courtroom outburst where he insisted he wasn't suicidal and claimed if anything happened to him in jail, it was at someone else's hand.

Now, the family is asking for him to be released again. They submitted an emergency motion in the appellate court on Monday, claiming he should never have been convicted.

How many lawyers he got?

[RummyChick]

if he was immo comprised he wouldnt have been out that night in that weather just to get a sandwich

[Seruzawa]

Well, he’s right. Being in a psych ward is dangerous. Who knows what those crazy shrinks might do.

[cgbg]

The family needs some cheese with that whine.

Feel good, the bigot is freaking out.

[MHT]

Given his general inclination and lifestyle, I’m surprised that he isn’t enjoying his stint at one of the remaining single-sex institutions.

[BeauBo]

Jussie’s drama is seeming more like comedy.

[LittleBillyInfidel]

Poor Lil fella. He’s soon gonna be complaining about his two MAGA hat wearing cell mates.

Let’s see ... the POWs have been incarcerated in solitary confinement since early 2021. Sorry, Jussie ... no sympathy from us. Frickin’ little weenie.

[Little Ray]

Put Smollett into isolation.

[PGR88]

Awwww. He’s suffered enough, poor baby.

[Steely Tom]

I’ve got the impression Jussie isn’t deep in hood cred.

[mass55th]

LOL!! He’s actually safer behind bars, or confined to a room on a psych ward. Most of the criminals and whack jobs are on the streets.

[Still Thinking]

Wait, what? 75 days, what happened to 150?

[notaliberal]

He’s fairly young so if he gets Covid he will probably have a sore throat like Obama.

Who cares? This jerk pulls a silly stunt and he’s in the news non stop for EVER.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Hope they keep a good supply of extra sheets in his cell.

He’s lucky he’s not in a strait jacket or in paper clothes in a padded cell.
