Jussie Smollett Cut From ‘Empire’ Episodes As Attack Probe Continues
deadline.com ^ | 2/19/19 | Dominic Patten

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.

Now that he has more time on his hands, Juicy Smollett should be charged with a hate crime himself.

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

Attack probe? Don’t they mean “attack” probe?

I still believe Joosy.
He bravely and boldly beat off the attackers.

Maybe he’ll sue FOX TV and get some Colin Kaepernick dollars...

...that’ll show how FUBAR our legal system is and maybe something will become of it.

He will complain that he got cut because he is gay.

The ONLY thing that was true about his story was that he had to beat off two men.

I can't imagine why, unless they know even worse things are going to come out.

I wouldn't think his made-up MAGA scandal would bother the people who run the show, or most of the people who watch it.

Guess he’ll have to go on a talking Ho show like the view and do his sobbing teary-eyed crying routine to get sympathy.

".... beat off the attackers...."

He probably did that before and after the event...

“beat off” attackers + $4,000!

“Happy Ending” with a bonus.

“He bravely and boldly beat off the attackers.”

Did he see it “coming”?

Maybe the noose was just part of some kinky auto-asphyxiation stuff like what killed David Carradine.

Me, I figure ol' Joosy is tough enough to beat off almost any attacker.

Maybe he should put on a clinic for beating people off, so proficient is he.

If a White man is even accused of saying something bad about a black he is immediately fired from any production that he plays in and he is shamed by all the media, in unison.

The double standard is functioning as it always has.

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

He needs to be fired BEFORE he’s charged with a crime... or the damn networks are going to look much worse than they look now.
