While many expressed bewilderment after all charges were dropped Empire actor Jussie Smollett for allegedly staging a hate crime, there is one group of people who are happy with the news: the writers of Empire.

Tweeting a picture of the T.V. showing the news on their Twitter account, they said “see y’all Wednesday”:

Empire Writers ✔ @EmpireWriters 😉 see y’all Wednesday. #empire #empirefox

2,739 11:20 AM - Mar 26, 2019 6,158 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy Empire writer Cameron Johnson took it a step further and tweeted at Rob Elgas, a Chicago-based reporter for ABC 7 who has been covering the case since it first broke in January.

Johnson accused Elgas of reporting “a bunch of false information and never retracted it”:

Rob Elgas ✔ @RobElgasABC7 · 8h Replying to @RobElgasABC7 They tagged me with the news conference link and two 👋🏾👋🏾

Cameron Johnson @cameronjawesome You reported a bunch of false information and never retracted it. Do your job, yes. But reporting on leaks that have been proven false is beneath you. 12:33 PM - Mar 26, 2019

When Elgas asked what he got wrong, Johnson simply tweeted emojis at Elags:

Rob Elgas ✔ @RobElgasABC7 · 8h Replying to @cameronjawesome Good to see you following my work again Cameron. Let me know what specific tweets were false and we will clarify. Also tell your fellow writers 👋🏾.

Cameron Johnson @cameronjawesome 😘😘

I wonder if the brothers who admitted the truth, and turned states evidence potentially, will ever work on the show again? I am thinking Jussie is back, and these two fellows are gonna be BLACKballed.

I mean, to tell the truth is a sin in the community, if it leads to punishing those who have slaved under white massah for centuries.

Cameron Johnson is a Soy Boi.

Call Juicy Fruit guilty and if he seeks a libel suit, open the sealed files in the discovery phase.

>>they are upset that white people didnt

get lynched

>>for this

[AAABEST]

Michael and Barry Obama are BIG fans of the show.

lmao

[conservative98]

Cosby at one time time thought he got away with it, too. The Mayor and the police don't want to drop it and the Feds can still charge him with terrorism for sending the fake anthrax letter.

I gather this "empire" tv show is an all-negro cast show appealing to inner city types and the 16% or so of the rest of the population that find them interesting.

I still wait for something of the quality of "The Americans" to lure me to watching the useless TV again. My wife has her airhead stuff at least.

Two white guys are responsible for the show. opie and his partner brian

[doorgunner69]

"opie and his partner brian"

Let me guess...............

[Rummyfan]

Smollett’s character would be the equivalent of Michael Corleone. If Michael was a FRUIT, an IDIOT, and a TERRIBLE actor.

LOL!

[NoLibZone]

Chicago is a corrupt as Mexico.

[joma89]

Hollywood’s film and television industry is your enemy, folks. Act accordingly.

Nothing has been proven to be false.

I would go so far as to say that the cops have proven it is true, and it was just up to a jury to see that proof to agree.

[mewzilla]

Guess ratings weren’t tanking fast enough.

[Jack Hammer]

Absolutely incomprehensible what happened in Chicago with this case.
