As police in Chicago continue their investigation of last week’s alleged attack on “Empire” star Jussie Smollett, a Chicago Police Department official tells Fox News they are withholding some information in order to verify reports from people coming forward.
As previously reported, the 36-year-old Smollett, who is black and openly gay, told officers that he was accosted while walking to his apartment by two men who called him an "Empire f----t [n-word]." Smollett then said the men beat him and poured an "unknown chemical substance" on him, staining his clothes. The report said that when responding officers arrived, Smollett had a white rope draped around his neck.
The CPD told Fox News that they are withholding certain information about the attack because more people are coming forward that “can be helpful” to the investigation. The CPD also tells Fox News that they are withholding certain information because they want to have “all their ducks in a row” if they open this case up to “interrogations.”
Regarding the account from a Smollett neighbor who claimed to see a “redneck” with a rope, the CPD official tells Fox News they could not find any surveillance video showing the “redneck” described, and that the neighbor's description of the “redneck” did not fit Smollett’s description of the reported suspects.

Roast duck
Redneck.
No, that’s not a racis thing to say....
They have video proof that he made it up. They are withholding that information in the hope that he will admit it and they don’t have to call the super victim a liar.
fight, he could have slipped on some ice. Had the rope for autoerotic “fun” and him and his manager made up this story for publicity
He’s “openly gay”?
You mean he rides guys in public?
They may be the same old tired strategies, but most Democrats eat them up. I’ve got a sister-in-law who got herself convinced that she was going to pay more taxes this year because of trump. Retired school teacher and she’s dumb as a rock.
When people would ask him, 'how did you cut your eye', he didn't want to tell them the embarrassing truth.
So he went to his apartment and concocted a plan. This is when he may have called his manager and they came up with the plan together.
He thought he could become a national celebrity and a gay/black civil rights hero by saying he was a victim of an alleged hate crime.
He thought adding 'they shouted 'This Is MAGA Country'' would be the icing on the cake because everyone in his circle of friends hates Trump.
It would explain why there's no video of anyone else in the area. No gay hook up. No drug deal. No gay bashing. He was alone and he slipped on ice.
The 60 sec gap could be when the fall happened.
It would also explain that he did call his manager and they came up with the story together.
scary I have three teachers in my family, all flaming libs married to conservative men.
Only when he’s in San Fransicko..................
Aha! Now we know why he was so upset. The rope was white!
Cuz dey be Lying.
So these “openly gay” guys are riding each other on the cold, windy streets of chi-town?
Great.
I have a hard enough time explaining to the grandkids what the dogs are doing in the park.
“What are those guys doing over there?”
“What! Oh. Those are just two openly gay guys ummmmm.....wrestling, yeah wrestling.”
“I don’t know. They don’t wrestle like that on tv.”
“The important thing to remember, kids, is that wrestling is just about love.
Naked love right out here on the sidewalk.
Naked sucking, humping love.
Between guys.
On the sidewalk.
Who wants some hot cocoa?”
I read somewhere that his character on Empire is going to be killed off. Perhaps this notoriety will hasten its demise?
He may have...........hopefully.................
He’d better not be lying. TWELVE Chicago detectives are on the case, and they can smell a rat from 50 yards away
A million black people in Chicago and SOMEHOW someone with all the right equipment recognized a bundled up d list actor and correctly identified him. Why the heck would a white cracker watch Empire and who the heck would recognize him OR even know he’s gay??
We homeschooled, except for the three years of my daughter’s time in high school. She went off to college on scholarship at 16. I’ve had discussions with teachers and former teachers and tell them that’s what we did and then I also tell them about the lies and insanity and incompetence that I dealt with for those three High School years. I have been cussed out shouted at by these people. Teachers are totally programmed robots, and they can’t deal with anybody who doesn’t agree with them.
unfortunately I agree. My teachers in the family don’t want to hear anything they disagree with.
