It just makes no sense that the cameras didn't catch anyone but those two guys and where the incident happened the cameras just happened to be turned the other way....coincidence? Hmmm....maybe he knew they were facing the opposite direction thus where the supposed attack or staged attack happened.

This situation had me totally flummoxed and part of me wondered whether me not having watched the show in years somehow added to my confusion, especially when it was revealed that the two brothers who were arrested had worked for the show.

I don't know what to say, other than I guess I'll just have to see how this whole thing unfolds.  This has many ramifications for many people.

The entire situation is highly unfortunate, no matter where the evidence and facts lead us.

Well the news just reported that the case took a new turn. And the authorities do want to talk to him again. So I am assuming the two guys blabbed it all and people were wondering why the two brothers left for home right after the incident. Was that the agreement between the three until things cooled down?

If this is the case then Smollett is in dire need of professional mental help. There is no rational way anyone could get me to mess up my bag by orchestrating such a thing, that includes the two brothers who are suspected of carrying out the alleged assault.  

Just a bizarre and unfortunate situation.

True dat.

 

[!@#$%^&*].

 

So, the next time a gay person or POC gets the [!@#$%^&*] kicked outta him in an actual, genuine hate crime, guess how the general and law enforcement communities will respond.  Yep.

 

Thanks a lot, Jussie.  You [!@#$%^&*] waste of space.

When I was on Instagram looking at KSJ tributes from black celebrities, almost all of them posted a photo and a message of support for Jussie.

 

I don’t presume to know the guy at all, but I’m just holding out a glimmer of hope that his conscience wouldn’t have allowed him to humiliate those in his community (and his family) in this way.

When I originally heard about this my heart went out to him. There were details that I thought were strange and extreme, like the bleach and the noose, but these are extreme times, so I had to believe him. 

 

If this is true, then he has betrayed everyone who gave him a chance, and has enabled those who look at every hate crime as a conspiracy or a lie. He has done untold damage to the lives of millions of people in this country. 

 

These are the actions of a sociopath - just not a particularly bright one.

    • I imagine Brad will blow through all the money in a year and come crawling back, just as Portia warned him not to.

    • That's a name I haven't heard in a minute. Thanks! 
    • Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss. 
    • I wonder whose brilliant (

      ) idea it was to do an almost complete rip-off of the "who killed Tom King"-storyline. That's some quality style writing right there.....  
    • The show is done. It got canceled at the end of January. https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2025/02/fox-first-run-cancels-dish-nation-person-place-or-thing-pictionary-759232
    • I believe it. ESPECIALLY that last one. 
    • Aristotle Dumas. Just thought I'd throw that out there!  
    • Lol is that like an AI type of thing that popped up?
