Jussie Smollett is back on the set of Empire in Chicago following his release from police custody on Thursday, Variety has learned.
Smollett was released after posting bail in Chicago after police accused him of staging what was originally reported as a hate crime last month. He was originally intended to film throughout this week on the Fox series, but his role was dramatically reduced in light of his ongoing legal troubles.
Whether or not Smollett will continue to work on the show as it wraps up the final two episodes of its fifth season remains to be seen. Fox has stood behind the actor for the most part, issuing multiple statements backing him as evidence grew that he had staged his own assault. Earlier on Thursday though, the network released a new statement that said in part, We are evaluating the situation and we are considering our options.

of course he got the proverbial pat on the back. His motives (to destroy Trump & supporters) were pure but his methods were just not thought out completely.
Easy!
Everyone, even Jussie, deserves to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Smollet claims to be innocent and has lawyerd up ‘way up’ with Mark Geragos, who ain’t cheap. Geragos plans to mount a rigorous defense to prove Jussie’s innocence.
Pass the Popcorn for This Real Life Live Soap Opera.
Good thing I never watch ABC
ABC
and Roseanne got fired over a Tweet?
Yup
I heard some liberal on TV say that in the last episode Jussie found out his gay partner had HIV. So, maybe the producers had a quick script written in which he is so upset that he cannot carry on and offs himself? I’ll never know as I haven’t watched or will.
Im sure he got a standing O.
Umm, since were talking Jussie, I better clarify to say standing ovation.
Apparently she doesn’t like answering questions about him.
Fox and Fox News are under the same umbrella but completely separate. Fox has no more love for Fox News than any of the other networks and their shows have take plenty of shots at their sister.
Not that Fox News is any great shakes....
She’s Jewish. big surprise
I’m looking at the daily happenings in our nation and I can’t help but think of Revelation where it talks of the last days and Satan being given freedom to do his worst on this earth, some of it directly against God’s people.
Who could have seen the failure of our nation to remain morally strong and avoid what has taken place, even five years ago?
I know some of this is just a natural progression, but I believe there is something more going on.
Reason has become almost non-existent in some quarters.
I cannot help but see these days as last days under Satan’s desperate leadership to turn Earth against God.
It won’t work. Some folks will love God no matter what, exhibiting faith in Him and becoming more like Him than ever before.
It’s certainly a time for reflection, and getting ourselves straight with God.
If you are witnessing this, and not motivated to contemplate what is going on, I think it’s a mistake.
That was pretty good!
He might just win in a jury trial. How does that saying go? Oh, yes. “Let Jussie prevail, though the heavens may fall.”
Who's "Oscar"? Is he some new political "comedian" doing a late-night TV show?
Justice Kavanaugh did NOT get such a presumed innocence!!!
Meanwhile Roseanne got BLACKLISTED for a stupid tweet, a TWEET..meanwhile this piece of sh*t made up a LIE that could have cost real people their FREEDOM..he sent a fake letter in the mail that many assumed to be a biological agent..he went on set and said “I swear to God I did not do this” he actually believes his own BS which is worse than someone who thinks they can just lie and lie and get away with it, I honestly think he believes his own bull sh*t
and Justin Fairfax supposedly raped two women, still has a nice job
What is/was his salary?... The one he was complaining about...
Never watched it. Never will.
