The Jussie Smollett saga continues. Chicago police have reportedly released nearly 70 hours of video related to his case, including a clip of the disgraced Empire actor wearing the infamous noose around his neck.
According to ABC7 Chicago, police bodycam video shows officers arriving at Smollett’s apartment in January when the alleged hate-fueled attack took place.
After going with his manager up to his apartment, they were greeted by Smollett with a rope coiled around his neck. He claimed two attackers doused him with bleach and put the noose over his head.
Police asked him if he wanted to remove the supposed noose, which he does, and then when informed a body cam is recording the whole thing, Smollett asked for the camera to be turned off.
“You’re filming this right?” Smollett’s manager asked. “Yes, this is all data,” an officer responded. “It’s his house.”
“They are filming,” Smollett’s manager told the actor. “Can we turn it off?” The officer replied, “Yeah. You are giving us permission to shut it off?”
Police blurred Smollett’s face in the video the I-Team obtained under a Freedom of Information Act request. At the time, he was still considered a victim.
“He doesn’t want this to be a big deal, you understand what I’m saying,” Smollett’s manager says in the video. “The thing that makes me emotional is they put this makeshift loop, what do you call that thing, a noose around his (expletive) neck. I’m sorry, you know. And that is what bothers me, the cut thing doesn’t bother me at all. If that makes any sense.”
Following an investigation, police determined he’d staged the attack. He was indicted on 16 felonies related to the incident, but prosecutors ultimately dropped all charges in March.
Earlier this month, Empire co-creator Lee Daniels confirmed Smollett won’t be coming back for Season 6.
Well those Nigerians responsible for this hate crime need to be apprehended.
Homeboy is the best candidate to speak on how reparations are needed, and Black Lives Matter…
I just got a great idea…since I hate whites so much because I’m jealous that I can’t be them I’m gonna go to a predominantly white site and talk about how lowdown and terrible they are…I wonder where I got that idea from?
That does sound great, I think I’ll do it too, hey why don’t we all. Anybody know any good white sites?
Smallwhitepenis.com is a good site
The white trolls that plague the comment sections here are definitely coming for this story. The word noose in the title is all they need to see
JE, I’m glad you can see the skin color of the comment poster thru your phone screen lol. What about the Hispanics? You didn’t mention us trolls..I feel left out.
Jussie Smollet is likely the most hated man in America now lol. Black people seem to dislike him because he took something like using nooses on black people and such to make a phony case, which is extremely disrespectful to the true history behind all of that. White people don’t like him, because he painted us as racists, especially those of us who like Trump. And then, anyone who hates pussies and liars hates him. And anyone who likes Tupac should hate him for declaring himself the gay Tupac. Tupac was a crazy dude, I love the guy, but he was hypocritical… But dude was honorable, not a liar, like Jussie. Screw Jussie. Anyone who fakes any crime should get harsh sentencing. If two white guys were arrested as suspects, you know he wouldn’t have said a word, and would have happily allowed two innocent men to go to prison, be labeled white supremacists, being hated by all of America, and then grouping in Trump supporters, like we support that BS. Don’t let the media deceive you. We’re bto hateful bigots.
What a jackass lmao. So in his made up story they tied a noose around his neck and even after he got away and was in his own apartment and the police were called he was still wearing it? He might just be the dumbest man alive. He has the brain of a child to think this would work.
Seriously, that is so fucking stupid lmao. They day this story came out, I called it out for being fake. If someone actually put a noose around my neck, not as a joke, I’d take that shit off instantly. Leaving it on kind of instantly tells you something is fishy. Leaving a potentially hazourdous thing around your neck is retarded. People called others racist for not beleiving Jussie, but using common sense, the story was never logical. It simply didn’t add up.
I feel sorry for Jussie, what he did was wrong but he meant well. It’s just a pity he let his dindu nature get the best of him instead of owning up once he was caught. Let this be a lesson black people stop crying wolf because one day Nigerians are gonna come along and pour bleach on you in the freezing cold. Let’s all learn from Jussie and be better people.
Great point. We all would like to think it wouldn’t happen to us, but odds are we will all eventually be chased down in negative 20 degree weather, and have bleach rubbed on our faces. Statistically speaking, it will happen at least 3 times in a lifetime. Crazy.
Jussie is an embarrassment to the gays. They should all gang up on him and beat his ass with their purses and high heels.
Maaaan, this dude said that was a noose… that lil shit looks like a yo-yo string!!!
Fk this guy. He should be rotting in prison.
