Two brothers involved in Jussie Smollett's Chicago alleged hate-crime hoax ...
- Two brothers involved in Jussie Smollett’s Chicago alleged hate-crime hoax sued the “Empire” actor’s lawyers on Tuesday, accusing them of defamation for insisting they had “criminally attacked” the actor even after police concluded otherwise.
Police later concluded that Smollett, 36, staged the attack for publicity. Prosecutors brought and then abruptly dropped hoax charges against the actor on March 26, a move that drew the fury of the city’s police superintendent and mayor. “He wanted his employer and the public to notice and appreciate him as a successful black, openly gay actor,” the lawsuit said. “Smollett directed every aspect of the attack, including the location and the noose.”
