Need I say more..how crazy was that? Now instead of his well paid TV role, he is likely to spend some time in jail. You never know what goes through some people's heads!
Jussie Smollett paid $3,500 to stage his attack, hoping to promote his career, Chicago police allege
Actor Jussie Smollett paid $3,500 to stage an attack on himself last month, taking "advantage of the pain and anger of racism to promote his career," Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie T. Johnson said Thursday.

It's a shame he lied, and wasted the police officers time.

Yes, and just..there was no need. He just made himself look like an A**, and real victims may not be believed as easily now.

That was nearly Trumpian level stupidity thinking that this would turn out well.

@xander6464 Even if he doesn't go to jail, he is going to have to lay low for a very long time.

@snowy22315 I agree. And I think he may never recover from it, job-wise.

They say he is a sociopath..not sure about that, but he sure is a "dumb criminal."

@DianneN Hard to believe a "smart person" would be so dumb!

@snowy22315 I saw something on the news this morning about it that the cast 'might' keep him on.

We shall see. He'll be lucky if he isn't booted off his show.

It could be..I guess the producers will probably wait to see what his sentence is and whether it e
Affects ratings or not.

What a stunt to pull. Tho here is one thought I had about this..that perhaps he had been gullible enough to follow someones idea of political sensationalism.

Yeah, the logic to think this was going to give him a salary boost..

That’s nuts!! He wasn’t happy enough with what he was doing or accomplished in his career that he had to go and do that. There are so many artists out there bursting at the seams to have success like he did and he just wanted more attention. Well he got it just not in the way he probably wanted. Now look where he is. Pretty sad. Never seen the show.

Yes he did. He must have a self destructive streak a mike wide.

@snowy22315 Some people just want to be in the news. I remembered some actresses a decade ago, committed shoplifting just to be famous. (They got dropped so fast by other movie producers.)
