The network is obviously playing the wait and see game.
A Smollett representative released a statement to The Associated Press suggesting a hope that he may eventually return.

The guy is mentally unstable. Who wants to take on that liability. How long until he cries racism over the decision.
To: Conserv
As was stated elsewhere “He shouldn’t beat himself up over it”

They were probably forced into this compromise by the other actors saying that Smollett should return.

So, he’s not fired, but his character won’t be needed? Excellent sidestep!

Oh my, and I bet it will rank up there with Dennis Weaver leaving Gunsmoke or Mclean Stevenson or Wayne Rogers or Larry Linville or Gary Burghoff quitting MASH or Shelley Long doing the same with Cheers.

This obviously makes Jussie available for Soetoro, Mike Obama, and Susan Rice to star in some Netflix productions. If Mike and Barry had a son, he would behave exactly like Jussie.

At least Fox is smart enough to realize putting the fraud back on would absolutely kill the ratings.

Why doesn’t the media use Mr. Smollett’s given first name? Why always the derivative “Jussie”?
Mr. Smollett was born with the name JUSTICE Smollett.
Irony, thou hast a name!

I take this as they are going to pay him anyway but he won’t be in the show?

He’s still getting paid and doesn’t have to work. Lovely.

This allows them to bring him back using the ‘Evil Twin’ episode trick.

“that police said was fabricated.”
The courts. These articles all do a little something to cause civil war. Little bit here and there.

Fox says Jussie Smollett will not return to "Empire" for next season Fox should bring him back as a Homo child molester-murderer that tried to frame a straight White guy for the crime.
End the season with his hanging.
But Fox has no balls.
