He was upset his first album didn't do well and was stressed out over the debuts of his new songs and music videos.

So basically he was trying various strategies to leverage the fame his TV appearances brought him, and his first few attempts didn't work.

I doubt seriously that he was making $125k an episode. Some reports last week suggested around $65k-$70k per episode. There’s also some commentary that they wanted to downsize the number of episodes per season that he’d appear in....maybe cutting to a dozen episodes max. Toss in taxes and the agent’s cut...he was still going to do well.

Agree. It had nothing to do with his salary. It was his hatred of Trump, Trump supporters and conservatives that was the impetus of this fake hate crime, just like all the others.

Bottom line, Smollett did it to ****@@@@####$$$%%%ATTRACT ATTENTION TO HIMSELF!!%%%$$$####@@@**** This is show biz. Bad publicity is better than none at all. A drama queen's gotta do what a drama queen's gotta do to stay in the (s)limelight.

I can’t say the name of an old album by comedian Richard Pryor alluding to a type being crazy. (Because I have no freedom of speech, of course.)

But psychiatrists reluctantly for the first time deleted the description of mental illness for homosexuals when pressured by liberal lobbyists.
As in:
In 1973, APA Removed Homosexuality From List of Mental Illnesses ...
https://www.hrc.org/.../flashbackfriday-today-in-1973-the-apa-removed-homosexuality... (and)
Not until 1987 did homosexuality completely fall out of the DSM. / / / / /

However, let’s forget the pressuring to remove the label. Really the sex change types are always crazy and so are the Jussie type creeps. The mental illness goes on but the label changed.

Like “pregnancy terminated” sounds better than killing a living baby in the womb. Or now, after he or she is alive outside the womb. “Murder” sounds so unhelpful to the Dems.

Doubtful he was making $125k per episode. Co-stars from more popular shows like ThIs Is Us, Better Call Saul, or Bull barely make that much.

He also tried to make an excuse for perpetrating his own hate crime because he had an untreated drug addiction.

The boy's a liar, plain and simple.

Once a liar, always a liar, in my mind.

Because you can never really trust that person to tell the truth again.

Completely irrelevant. His motives are secondary to the actual crime.

Were motives to be taken into account for criminal activity and given leniency as a result, anyone could be acquitted of practically any crime.

Jussie was pulling in a reported $125,000 per episode.

Other reports say he was pulling in about half that, 65k per episode, far less than Terrence and Taraji.

Conflict over air time and story lines may also be part of the mix.

There wasn't one single reason why he did it.

Politics and hatred of Trump are definitely involved.

But if he really wanted to help Kamala Harris's bill, was this really a sensible way of doing that?

He and the other actors on the show certainly could have gotten airtime to promote the bill without staging a fake hate crime.

Like many Hollowoodies, Smollett has a lot of “issues”. The boy ain’t right in the head.

‘Empire’ Execs are so stupid they believed the first reports of the fake ‘hate crime’...

Smollett was going for the money,

a higher profile,

pity party acceptance by guilty white liberals,

and ‘acceptance’ into the pantheon of modern ‘civil rights’ heroes.

And yeah, the extra attention would have brought more cash... too...
