In this age of SVU I can't believe he left so much evidence everywhere. Phone calls? Text? A check? My dude! How dumb are you?

 

I want to be mad at myself for believing him but I'm not, I will continue to err on the side of believing someone when they say they were attacked. I am pissed that he did this (for money???) and give the other side so much ammunition. It's selfish and insane and fcuk him for it.

I wonder if someone with as much apparent narcissism as Jussie gets off on all this attention, even if it’s negative:

He’s back on the set of Empire:

 

 

From Kandi Burruss:

 

 

Kandi Burruss is more gracious than I am. I chose to believe Jussie b/c my first inclination is to believe victims. I now believe he made it all up and I am disgusted, disappointed, outraged and confused.  To use a noose (of all things) and conjure up this plan in order to get more money from your job????  I still can't wrap my head around this. 

 

I feel bad for the cast of Empire and his siblings. No one deserved to get sucked into this.

Jussie making more than initially reported does not mean he doesn't believe he should be making more.

The Smollett family's acting like they're the Jacksons or something.

 

 

I was watching The Talk and the audience reaction to the news was so funny with the noises of shock they were making. I had to laugh at the panel saying how dumb Smollett was as a criminal to leave so much evidence behind. The Talk ladies: Who the hell writes a check when paying someone off?......

How tacky to go to an event about empowering black women and ask all of them about Jussie Smollett.

Yeah, Angela Bassett seemed super annoyed with that question. But Kandi, I thought, handled it well, all things considered.

Not happy with $100, 000 K an episode??!  I'm not black or gay so I'm going to keep my composure here, but damn that is some entitled thinking.

Right. As if all black people in America need to answer for this. 🙄 SO rude.

I saw people in the tweets saying oh she should have condemned him, blacks stick together, she's a racist, and all the usual [!@#$%^&*], but I thought she was very fair. She's been around enough to not condemn someone unless she has strong reason.

And in the news they said he was reporting to work tomorrow....Lawd imagine how awkward that is going to be for the cast.

He's apparently back on set today. They're shooting episode 17 of 18 and he's needed in bigger group scenes.
