Jussie Smollett out of jail after posting bond, and returns to ‘Empire’ set
LA TimesEddie Johnson, superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, comments on “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett being charged with disorderly conduct for allegedly filing a false police report. Mr. Smollett is a young man of impeccable character and integrity who fiercely and solemnly maintains his innocence and feels betrayed by a system that apparently wants to skip due process and proceed directly to sentencing.” FULL COVERAGE: Jussie Smollett » Chicago police said Thursday that Smollett staged the Jan. 29 attack that has sparked national attention. The actor-musician was charged with felony disorderly conduct for filing a false police report after he said he was attacked in downtown Chicago by two men who hurled racist and anti-gay slurs and looped a rope around his neck — an incident he recounted for a national audience on “Good Morning America” last week. “This announcement today recognizes that ‘Empire’ actor Jussie Smollett took advantage of the pain and anger of racism to promote his career,” Johnson said.
