Chicago Police said Thursday they are questioning two “persons of interest” who were in the area where actor Jussie Smollett reported being attacked last month.
The two were found through “meticulous investigation,” CPD spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.
“The people of interest are alleged to be in the area where a crime was reported. They are not considered suspects at this time as they are currently being questioned by detectives. We remain in communication with the alleged victim,” Guglielmi tweeted.
Smollett, an actor on show “Empire,” filmed in Chicago, has been responding to critics who question his report about being attacked. He told police two masked men shouted racial and homophobic slurs at him, attacked him and put a rope around his neck early on Jan. 29. The 36-year-old actor is black and openly gay.
Smollett tells ABC News it’s “ridiculous” to think he’d lie in his explanation for being outside at 2 a.m. in frigid Chicago weather.
He says he left the rope and clothes on when police arrived “because I wanted them to see.” He says accusations that the attack was a date gone bad are offensive.
No arrests have been made. Police say they’ve not found surveillance video that shows the attack but that the investigation is ongoing.
Next Juicy will be claiming the lack of arrests is a hate crime by the po-po.
If they haven’t asked Smollett to take a lie detector test, why not ?
“He says he left the rope and clothes on when police arrived “because I wanted them to see.””
See what?
If the thing was actually put around your neck, then the cops would take it as evidence.
Leaving it there was an act of dramatic license to help spice up a fib.
Too early yet.
If they do, it’s over.......................
Yep.
Hollywood........................
Questions ranged from, “Did you see anyone else around?” to “Did you see any of your white homeless friends that support President Trump (may re-election be upon him)?”
How many people have been murdered in Chicago since that simpering faggot Smollet started this hoax?
10, someone said..................
If they were suspects, they’d be arrested. This is why they’re currently called a Person of Interest.
He doesn't care. He is a true sociopath.
It’s very obvious. He made it up to boost his career. He deserves to go to jail.
Pretty soon, we will hear the Anti-Gay/ Homophobic slurs against the Police investigating this false Police report.
they next dem congress member from Chicago
Even black Americans aren’t buying this story.....................I doubt that many homos do either...................

But it would make perfect sense for the two alleged muggers to hang around outside his apartment at 2 AM in the frigid Chicago night waiting for him on the off chance he’d come out of his apartment?
And consider this:
Smollett had been out of town, and had just arrived back from the airport when he decided to go to Subway.
So the ‘two attackers’ would have had to have waited for a loooooong time..........................
Lying racist bastard.
IF he really got a broken rib or 2, those would show on an x-ray. Takes more than 2 weeks for a broken rib to heal.
