‘Empire’ Cast Members Demand Fox Rehire Jussie Smollett:..
Chicks on the Right ^ | 4/25/19 | Hannah Bleau

He Is ‘Innocent, Honest, and Above All Filled with Integrity’

At this point, everyone knows Jussie Smollett staged his own hate crime attack for publicity purposes. It still amazes me that he can stand here with a straight face and tell us he was attacked. There’s an overwhelming amount of evidence against him. It’s like he thinks we’re all stupid or something.

That brings me to this.

Some of his former co-stars on “Empire” are demanding Fox to rehire him, even though he’s a bloody liar who will only draw bad publicity for the show.

Via DeadLine:

“Together, as a united front, we stand with Jussie Smollett and ask that our co-star, brother and friend be brought back for our sixth season of Empire,” the Oscar nominees and the rest of the portrayers of the Lyon clan wrote in an April 19 letter obtained by Deadline that was sent to Fox Entertainment CEO Charlie Collier, Disney TV Studios and ABC Entertainment chair Dana Walden, Fox Entertainment president Michael Thorn, Daniels, Empire co-creator Danny Strong and various executive producers on the series.

Reiterating the support and intentions Henson briefly expressed on April 4 on The View, the correspondence signed by Bryshere Y. Gray, Trai Byers, Gabourey Sidibe and Nicole Ari Parker among others adds, “We understand the past months have been difficult to process—sometimes the headlines brought more confusion than clarity, yet we now have a conclusion to this ordeal.”

Yeah. Smollett lied and got away with it. Neat how that worked out, huh?

“Throughout Empire’s five seasons working with Jussie and watching how he has conducted himself throughout this traumatic event, we have come to know not just the character Jussie portrays, but also truly come to know Jussie’s personal character,” the letter continued. “He is kind. He is compassionate. He is honest and above all he is filled with integrity.”

Filled with integrity? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHALOLOLOLOLOL.

“He is also innocent and no longer subject to legal uncertainty with the criminal charges against him having been dropped,” the letter continued. “We are confident in his lawyer’s assurance that the case was dismissed because it would not have prevailed.”

“It’s clearer every day that the extreme political climate in our country has only made our system of justice and the court of public opinion more unjust,” the letter added.

Um…but he…it was…I just…do these people live on the same planet as us? How can you be that detached from reality?

Fox and Disney TV Studios had no comment on the cast letter when contacted by Deadline.

His former co-stars are either extremely gullible or just as conniving as he is. Either way, it’s not a good look.

“Innocent, Honest, and Above All Filled with Integrity”. Mrs rktman and I almost fell out of the truck yesterday when we heard that one.

I am so *DONE* with TV. Have been for years.
Stories like this only serve to confirm that I am not missing a thing.

Crap like this repeatedly confirms my reason for never having cable hooked up.

There is no “bad publicity” in Hollyweird.

As long as they spell your name right.

Didn’t he do this stunt to try to get sympathy and more money from the show? If he worked anywhere else he would be fired and stayed fired.

We are now going to a despotic society, literally. We’re going to have a despotic ruler within 50 years.

That is analogous to Moquetezuma of the Aztecs walking around with a colostomy bag and being called a god.

What an AWFUL show.

Like I said before, it’s like a TV version of “The Godfather”

If “The Godfather” sucked, the actors sucked, the plot sucked, the script sucked, one of the sons was a fruit and it was not enjoyable or intelligent in any way.

Smollett will get his job back, a huge raise and the liberal media will heap praise on this show nobody watches.

The hair weave/wig crowd has to have something to watch.

This group of idiots should be fired and the show canceled. Actions have consequences, especially for half-baked “justice warriors.”

the main actor in that stupid show is, himself, a total retard.

He thinks that 1x1 is 2. And he is serious about this stuff. Like take every flat earther’s cerealness and multiply it by 10. Or 20 or whatever this loon says to.
