Jussie Smollett will make his post-scandal directorial debut on BET+ with the upcoming film B-Boy Blues.
It will be the first project for the 39-year-old actor since being found guilty in December 2021 of charges stemming from a fake hate crime against himself.
Mona Scott-Young, 55, and her Monami Entertainment has joined the film as a producer and was a key figure in the BET+ deal, according to an article on Wednesday by Variety.
Smollett was sentenced in March to 150 days in county jail after being convicted on felony charges over the January 2019 hate crime hoax.
He served only six days in jail before he was released on bond pending the outcome of the appeal of his conviction.
B-Boy Blues is a film adaptation of the James Earl Hardy novel and stars Timothy Richardson, Ledisi, Brandee Evans, Heather B, Marquise Vilson, Jabari Redd, Broderick Hunter and Thomas Mackie.
'Through our content slate, we are intentional about representing the fullness of the Black experience, including that of the LGBTQ+ community,' said BET+ executive Devin Griffin.
'B-Boy Blues’ is an artful, heart-rending film about the complexity of love – something we all can relate to.'

If Jussie is smart (..I know..) he won’t appear in his directorial debut at all. The moment people see that smug smirk, it will bring the whole tangled mess right back to the surface.
In reality is a nobody. Smollet has no talent. But he is a Negro sci-fi homo so who knows who he used his knee-pads on. Weinstein is in jail. It must be somebody at Netflix or HBO or one of those. A straight White person with his resume wouldn't even get to talk to the receptionist.
B-Boys Blues?
Could that mean Butt-Boy Blues?
I have been looking forward to that noose... Err, I mean news.
Smollett? Oh yeah the guy who gets convicted then gets sent home from jail because he’s too much of a baby to handle it?
Disgusting.
Butt boys?
Did his sorry a$$ get sentenced yet?
He thinks there are enough black homos to watch this trash?
BS-Boy.
God Bless Amerika !

Really not sure how they could top this “lifetime movie” adaptation.
He also wrote a country song.
Baby let me Turn your Brown Eye Blue...
So the racist network is going to air a racist show directed by a racist hate-crime hoaxer? OK - got it.
Reality can be stranger than fiction.
Lying racist actor welfare project.
Can’t show his face in public anymore, so he can sit in a folding chair and yell “roll ‘em!” and get paid for it. He is a human Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Twilight Zone episode rolled into one.
