Empire actor Jussie Smollett says he was handed a heftier jail sentence because he is black and that he made sure to mention he is not suicidal in court in order to avoid getting 'Jeffrey Epstein'd'
On Thursday Smollett - once a darling of the music and TV world for his success on the show Empire - was sentenced to 150 days in jail.
The star was convicted last year of five felony counts of disorderly conduct for lying to police repeatedly when he claimed he was the victim of a race hate attack in January and February 2019.
Judge James Linn granted Smollett 'day for day' eligibility which means if he behaves himself behind bars, he will likely be released within 75 days - just over two months.

But despite his light sentence, TMZ reported that Smollett told his attorneys before his Thursday court appearance that he would get a harsher sentence than most people convicted of a non-violent offence because he is black, calling it proof of systemic racism in the court system.
After he was sentenced Smollett told his legal team his prediction was correct and said the 150 day sentence was 'unfortunate' and 'sad' and blamed it on judge Linn's animosity towards him, TMZ.com reported.

Epstein didn’t kill himself.
Why would he get Jeffrey Epstiened? He would only get that if he had something he could rat on the Cabol
Many never expected justice, but Jussie’s attacker is behind bars where he belongs.
As Dave Chappelle says - “He’s a French actor, who is not ONLY black, he’s gay too”
Really? Are there other instances of this sort of thing being orchestrated for comparison, Jessie?
Punk extraordinar.
Gosh, I wonder how much easier the sentence would have been if he had been white and claimed two black men beat him up and called him racial names. Any guesses? And would the TV news stories ever end if it had been that way?
this moron has his own private cell! he should of been thrown in with the general population! he isn’t special, he just “thinks” he is!
He’s afraid of getting suicided??? what does he know???
Kamala Harris and Ron Johnson were on his cell phone.
Did they help him conceive of the plot? This would certainly be one way to get rid of Harris before the midterms.
Bubba looks forward to meeting him.
Indeed. Wall to wall coverage for a very long period of time, with microphones being thrust in the face of anyone who backed the hoax demanding to know why they didn’t wait “until the facts were known.” With this, the bare minimum coverage, with no apologies whatsoever being demanded of those who jumped to conclusions without knowing the facts first.
Geez, Jussie, don’t beat yourself up about it.
If he doesn’t “put out” he could have problems but there’s no doubt he’ll acquiesce.
Jussie is a prime example of what can happen when people who are not oppressed or down trodden hold a false narrative that they are oppressed and downtrodden.
Well, considering the drivel coming from Kim Foxx on this (https://chicago.suntimes.com/2022/3/10/22971657/jussie-smollett-case-our-justice-system-failed-states-attorney-kim-foxx-op-ed) I can see how he has convinced himself he is the victim here.
Typical of most leftist Tinseltown stars.
Doesnt seem to me like he learned anything.
We’d all be relieved of this POS got himself Epsteined..in fact it would be too good for him
