Jussie [Smollett] will NOT be returning to Empire,' series co-creator Lee Daniels said Tuesday.
Daniels was responding to a Variety report in which multiple production sources said that Empires writing staff was breaking ideas for the shows sixth and final season with the expectation that Smollett would appear in the back half of the 18-episode season.
This is the first public acknowledgment that Smollett will not return for the final season of the Fox drama series. He was written out of the final episodes of the shows fifth season following severe backlash stemming from accusations the actor and musician faked a hate crime against himself earlier this year in Chicago.
The same production sources also note tensions were ratcheted up on set between the shows primarily black cast members, who still believe Smollett is innocent, and the mostly white below-the-line crew, many of whom believe Smollett is guilty.

His family ties to the Black Panthers explains why the 0bamas
were hanging around with a B-list actor. That had me puzzled.
His commie-left radical upbringing and current activism is probably a large part of what got him the role on that show in the first place. Lots of actors it seems clear to me were "promoted" to superstar careers. Rapper Tupac Shukar, for example, was closely related to Joanne Chesimard, aka Assata Shakur, and also to a former Black Panther who was part of the Brinks Truck robbery and triple murder in '81..
Just slink away and enjoy your black/fag privilege for a while, Jussie, you creepy moron.
Smollett: fired from a teevee show.
Manafort: transferred to Rikers Island solitary confinement.
That’s okay - I won’t be returning to the audience of Empire.
Hey, Lee Daniels, you can borrow my cell phone and see if you can call someone who gives a damn.
The media continues in their subterfuge.
Why do they not use Mr. Smollett’s given first name?
OUTSTANDING posts, ETL. Thanks very much. BUMP-TO-THE-TRUTH.
Both Smollett and Manafort were/are allied with enemies of America. Smollett via the revolutionary communist movement and 1960-80s Black Panther Party. Manafort via his assisting the Russians while working for Putin's puppet in the Ukraine. See my FR Home page for lots more on this.
I'm 99% convinced Manafort was a plant. The guy who introduced him to the Trump campaign, Thomas J. Barrack Jr, is a shady individual to say the least. It's been reported that he once said about Trump, "He's not only stupid, he's crazy".
Thomas J. Barrack Jr
After Trump became president, Barrack acted as a middleman between him and Arab princes.[37]
He denies a quote attributed to him in the 2018 book Fire and Fury that he said Trump was, not only crazy but stupid.[38]
In a 2017 Washington Post article, Barrack commented on Trumps inflammatory rhetoric and proposals to ban immigrants from certain Muslim countries and put up a border wall with Mexico. Hes better than this, he said.[39]
Barrack was interviewed during the Special Counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, in particular regarding Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, Konstantin Kilimnik, Cambridge Analytica, the Trump campaign, the Trump transition team, and the financing of the Trump inauguration.[40][41]
