============================================================================================
The cast of Empire is divided over Jussie Smollett's arrest, with some standing by the actor and believing his innocence while others want him to be fired.
Smollett went straight to the Cinespace studio on Thursday after being released on a $10,000 bond.
He reportedly pleaded with his colleagues to believe that he did not pay two Nigerian brothers to attack him in a staged hate crime so that he could get a raise, as is alleged by police.
Some of the stars are 'f*****g furious' about the allegations and believe he should be fired for bringing shame to the entire production, according to TMZ.

Perhaps the Virginia governor could play Jussie’s role
Let’s do a little comparison, shall we?
Rosanne, Trump Supporter, is not only the main character on the Rosanne Show, SHE IS THE SHOW. Makes a stupid, insensitive comment, apologizes and is fired.
Jessie, Trump hater, minor character on the show Empire, mountains of evidence that he staged a race hoax, does not apologize and is not fired.
Do I have this about correct?
The next question I would ask Dersh is, what about Mail Fraud?
And, getting smaller.

5. Harris Has Authored Two Publications, One of Which Is an Advocacy Manual for Police Reform
Harris has authored multiple publications, one of which is titled Organized for Change: The Activists Guide to Police Reform. She authored this manual during her time working as a Senior Associate at PolicyLink. The overview of the manual on the PolicyLink website reads, Contains strategies to help advocates move their police departments closer to a vision of community-centered policing.
Another publication authored by Harris is an essay that was published in the 2006 book, The Covenant With Black America. The essay is titled Fostering Accountable Community-Centered Policing.

And yet, according to John Podesta, Clintons campaign chairman, Harris and Clinton traffic in midnight e-mails, getting the fine points on policydeciding what to tweak. Harris has been a partner with Hillary, he said, in developing the domestic agenda for the candidates possible Presidency, focussing on issues of race, gender, economic empowerment, criminal justice, policing, immigration, voting rights, and executive action. If Clinton is elected, Harris is likely to take on a top job in the West Wing.

Thanks Red Badger. "'Arguments erupt' on Empire set after Jussie Smollett's arrest as 'furious' cast members call for him to be FIRED and Gabby Sidibe deletes supportive Instagram post while others stand by him and insist he is innocent"
Maybe he’ll get a job as a NFL cheerleader!
Gabby Sidibe, one of Smollett's closest friends, deleted her supportive Instagram post on Thursday night. A day earlier, she had written: 'I know him, I believe him, I stand with him'... He reportedly pleaded with his colleagues to believe that he did not pay two Nigerian brothers to attack him in a staged hate crime so that he could get a raise, as is alleged by police.
Didn't the Nigerian brothers *work* on the series? There couldn't have been any doubt among the castmates that the whole thing was a hoax, and even they must have realized it from very near the beginning, right after the "attackers" were identified.
Jussie Smollet...
Why do I think this is a Phil Hendrie rerun?
So much for being fully committed behind him.
And their statement that Smollet paid them to do it plus a cleared check for $3,500. He’ll have a hard time convincing a jury that the check was for his share of beer and pizza.
I see now Smollet is not blaming it on the drugs.
A few months in Rehab, and he’s all good, and all will be forgiven.
Fox will drop him. It’s real easy for them to stand behind their guy when things are vague and awaiting trial. With two confessed conspirators and a check for $3500, that changes all kinds of things. The vid of them at the hardware store is not good, either.
s/b I see now Smollet is blaming it on the drugs.
“To this day, there are people who believe OJ is innocent.......”
We were listening to the verdict at work
My sweet wonderful Christian black friend was near me.
When she heard not guilty she started praising Jesus.
And stupid me was shocked.
