What is there to consider? Whether or not to keep paying a con man who just embarrassed their entire show, himself, and nearly caused a race riot?

legally he has not been convicted. Only charged. They have to tread carefully because of lawyers.

And the search is on for another gay black actor.
Hell, Jussie is such a con artist, he may not even really be gay...

...wihtout (sic)
the actor who plays the openly gay Jamal Lyon on the Fox show. How is it acting when an out-of-the-closet fag plays an out-of-the-closet fag?

Wonder what the net and the production company knew and when they knew it....

He may as well be if those Federal charges on the hoax letter end up sending him to a pound-me-in-the-a** prison.

How about the “Roseanne Barr” treatment?

Eh. Film some Empire scenes with Smollett in jail. It probably fits right in with the storyline.

They can always hire another gay black actor to fill his spot..........It’s not like they are rare or difficult to find in Hollywood.................

I was thinking the very same thing - I wonder if he is faking being a homosexual. Wouldn't that be something to see the response change. I think he is fired very soon - over the course of the day he has become completely toxic.
The speed of how fast a topic gets discussed and digested into the society has really speed up via mobile devices and social media. The memes are merciless and he pretty much manage to do something offensive to as many different groups, some even protected, as possible.

They will have to have another reason to fire him, since he’s “innocent until proven guilty”...but I’m sure his contract has a corporate escape clause in it. Let’s see...can’t get him on a morals clause (pot meet kettle), can’t dump him for drugs (ditto. Besides, drug addiction is an “illness” for which they treat instead of fire someone.
To: Red Badger
Why is Fox taking so long to ditch him? A white actor would have been fired at the first sign of touble.

When I saw the interview with Roberts, I didn’t think he was gay. I thought he was faking it.
Have we heard from his boy friend?
To: Red Badger
As much as the left hated bush, they didn’t engage in fake hate crimes back then. Trump really pushes their buttons, and I love him for that. Once he got elected, it was a sure thing he would get reelected because of left-wingers losing their minds and acting out in this way.
