... I never heard of this guy before his little ‘prank the cops’ performance.

And he's pissed off about earning mere $1.8 Million a year.
Got to wonder how much other 2d/3d string actors make.

I'm just curious if he actually did ask for a raise. Anyone at the Studio care to enlighten us?

I thought that actors sign a contract on an agreed salary. They renegotiate when the contract is up for renewal. When was his contract expiring?

Since now he can't fulfill his contract...will the Studio fine him for breaking it? LOL

All the money and time wasted filming his episodes which now have to be reshot and rewritten. Bet his actors friends speak fondly of him now.

There are many tweets of his insane Trump hatred.

He’s politically connected and super engaged.

He’s very vocal. Any tweets or articles about his substandard pay or lack of opportunity?

He hired a PR firm after he knew the jig was up. The only reason would be to portray himself in the best possible light.

The career angle is basically another hoax.

But he needed a PR firm and lawyers to come up with it for him.

Cause he’s dumb.

In the ‘real world’ (i.e., NOT Hollywood) he’d be very lucky to FIND a job, because he’s WAY too stupid to qualify for anything

Smollett plays Jamal Lyon on Empire, a gay singer who is part of a music mogul family. He is paid $100,000 per episode - $1.8million per season - but wanted more, according to the police.

That's per episode NOT per season... AND the little Cheapskate was only willing to pay the bothers a few thousand bucks? LOL - maybe they turned him in...

I suspect if a white heterosexual man blamed ‘gay men of color’ for a fake sex crime - the production company damn sure would fired the person the second the lie was discovered.

This is more hatred, bias and double standard crap by the haters on the left.

Oh I agree that the guy hates Trump, but I don’t think he spent one second trying to understand anything about Trump, he took the posture to show open hostility to Trump, with the idea it would help his career.

I think we are in agreement here. I think his Trump hatred is phony. I don’t think he could articulate anything factual, just a lot of anti Trump platitudes to get his image out there as being a big Trump hater.

I can’t see how this guy comes out of this. No one is going to hire him, and he’s got this guy Garagos who will fight till the end.

I hear they’re posting a not guilty plea. Yeah, OJ Simpson here we come.

He should do jail time, because he’s got a prior record.

18 episodes at $100,000 per equals $1.8 million for the season.

Jussie perpetrated the hoax on behalf of Corey Booker and the democrats in support of the anti (non-existent) lynching legislation.

When Malcolm the Tenth said “By Any Means Necessary”, I don’t think this is what he meant.

Gee, that's sad, but he has a bright future waiting for him in prison.
What? After Stelter Defends Media, Blow Admits Smollett Could Be an 'Insane' 'Psychopath' | Media Research Center...NewsBusters | 2/18/19 | Curtis Houck | Posted on 02/18/2019 4:32:21 PM PST by hole_n_one [No he doesn't] -- Well listen, if Jussie has done what the Chicago Police say he has done, it's not just that he's an actor, Brian. This is an insane person. This is -- this is a psychopath, like, and -- and there's nothing in his history that suggests that he's a psychopath... because we need to understand what's the motive because nothing -- I've met him one time. He was the sweetest -- it was just in passing at Essence Fest and I was with a girl I went to college with -- she's a big fan and he -- she had to have a picture. He was the most gracious person and I think that that's the kind of feeling that people have about him. So if you did this, we need to know -- like, are you crazy? Like, are you -- did you like literally lose it because nothing is adding up about why he would do this?
