Chicago — Jussie Smollett, upset by his salary and seeking publicity, staged a fake assault on himself a week after writing himself a threatening letter, the Chicago police said Thursday after the “Empire” actor surrendered to face a charge of filing a false police report.
A visibly angry Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie T. Johnson said Mr. Smollett had taken advantage of the pain and anger of racism, draining resources that could have been used to investigate other crimes for which people were actually suffering.
“I just wish that the families of gun violence in this city got this much attention,” he said at a news conference in Chicago.
The superintendent seemed particularly upset by the fact that Mr. Smollett, he said, had arranged a fake assault that featured a noose hung around his neck. The police say the staged assault was carried out by two brothers to whom the actor had paid $3,500.

What's the theory? That he didn't like his salary so he staged an attack against himself? These days I don't read fiction because the news gives me the fix I need.
Atleast use some white actors when you are black and staging a racial MAGA attack, goddammit . Very dim guy

“This is without a doubt a whitewash of justice, and sends a clear message that if you’re in a position of influence and power, you’ll get treated one way—there is no accountability—it is wrong, full stop.”

Chicago police full of shit as usual. Glad vooke had the courage to even show up on this thread after all the declarations of guilt with zero evidence.
The police say Mr. Smollett hired two brothers to stage an assault on him, and gave them a check for $3,500, with the promise of another $500 later. The police have a copy of the check, surveillance video of the brothers’ movements before the attack, and phone records showing that they spoke with Mr. Smollett an hour before the incident, and then again an hour afterward.

So what?. The checks could have been made out to the brothers for any other reason. They could also have talked before and after the attacks for any reason. It's up to CPD to make the case.
Smollett should be getting ready to sue the city for violation of his due process rights.

He met them right before and after but couldn't ID them during the attack. Ok

My rule of thumb with Chicago police is that without third party corroboration no need to even listen to what they are saying. They are like Kenya police with a lot of money.
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Chicago will sue actor Jussie Smollett for the costs of police overtime spent investigating his claims that he was the victim of a hate crime, which prosecutors say were false, a city official said on Thursday.
The lawsuit was being prepared after Smollett, 36, refused a demand by the city for $130,000, said Bill McCaffrey, a spokesman for the city’s Department of Law.
“Mr. Smollett has refused to reimburse the City of Chicago for the cost of police overtime spent investigating his false police report on January 29, 2019, McCaffrey said. “The Law Department is now drafting a civil complaint that will be filed in the Circuit Court of Cook Country.”

They are trying to save face.
CHICAGO — Two brothers who were said to have assaulted the actor Jussie Smollett in what the police called a staged hate crime filed a federal defamation lawsuit Tuesday against the entertainer’s legal team.
The brothers, Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo, said in the lawsuit that Mr. Smollett, an actor on “Empire,” orchestrated the fake attack against himself earlier this year and that two of the actor’s lawyers, Mark Geragos and Tina Glandian, then lied repeatedly about what happened.
“He wanted his employer and the public to notice and appreciate him as a successful black, openly gay actor,” the lawsuit said. “So, Mr. Smollett directed every aspect of the attack, including the location and the noose.”
