Cops Arrest 'Potential Suspects' for Battery ... Brothers Are Former 'Empire' Extras
TMZ ^ | 2/15/2019 | Staff

Posted on 02/15/2019 2:40:52 PM PST by yesthatjallen

Police have now arrested 2 men in the Jussie Smollett investigation -- 2 men with ties to "Empire" -- and TMZ has learned they were booked for battery. As we reported ... cops picked up Ola and Abel, their nicknames, on Wednesday night at O'Hare Airport.

A Chicago law enforcement source tells us the next step may be a lineup in which Jussie will be asked to identify the culprits. This raises a potential problem because, as we first reported, Jussie initially said his attackers were white and yelled "MAGA country."

The Osundairos, from Nigeria, just don't fit that profile.

As you know, Jussie has stated the men in the dark, grainy image released last month are definitely his attackers. Police are not confirming the Osundairo brothers are the men in that photo.

Ola played a prison inmate on season 2 of "Empire." It's unclear exactly how well they know Jussie, but we know Jussie follows their joint Instagram account. Abel also says he's worked on "Empire."

Both brothers describe themselves online as actors and models.

Are the Chicago [Police] keeping this ruse up as a way to sting this Jussie fool into implicating himself? Or is this pure theater

I think it's the former.

It's being reported that Smollett turned over a doctored version of his phone records to police, and that they then compared that forgery to his real subpoenaed phone records.

Naturally, they don't match, which means Smollett has documented his lying to the police, the public, and any future jury.

Man, what a coincidence. Three guys, all from the same TV show, out at 2 AM, on a winter night, with sub-zero temperatures! I’m a believer!

The trap has been set. They’ll lean on these two persons of interest/witnesses. They’ll either point the finger at Smollett blaming him for concocting this scheme and involving them, or Smollett will have major issues explaining why he described these two as Caucasians.

There never were.
The MAGA hats were a TMZ construct.

charge them with a hate crime, tell them they can plead guilty and get 20 years and then deported - and see if they want to change their story....

my guess is we find out they talked 20 minutes before the ‘attack’, dozens of times in the days before they attack, and at least once since the ‘attack’ - plus large cash payment was made somewhere along the way....

These guys aren’t going to do 10-20 years to cover for this fag.

What if he says, to keep them from ratting him out, “no, they weren’t the ones”? Then the cops have to let them go, and nothing happens to anyone.
