Jussie Smollett will not return to"Empire" for season six, according to the series' co-creator, Lee Daniels.
Smollett, 36, who starred as gay musician Jamal in the Fox show, told police earlier in January that he was the victim of what initially appeared to be a hate crime. Investigators later alleged that Smollett filed a false police report and paid two brothers to help him orchestrate the attack in an attempt to get publicity and a pay hike from the producers of"Empire.
The city of Chicago later filed a $130,000 lawsuit against Smollett. A lawyer for Smollett said at the time said the actor"vehemently denies" accusations of making false statements to police and"will not be intimidated into paying the demanded sum."
