Jussie Smollett Axed From “Empire” Season As Cast Members Delete Their Instagram Support

    Accused world class liar Jussie Smollett is now out of a job for the time being.

    TMZ reports that Lee Daniels, Danny Strong, Brett Mahoney, Brian Grazer, Sanaa Hamri, Francie Calfo and Dennis Hammer all signed off on the order to cut Smollett for the remainder of the season in the wake of his arrest for allegedly grand scheming his racist attack.

    “The events of the past few weeks have been incredibly emotional for all of us,” FOX said in a statement to TMZ. “Jussie has been an important member of our EMPIRE family for the past five years and we care about him deeply. While these allegations are very disturbing, we are placing our trust in the legal system as the process plays out.

    “We are also aware of the effects of this process on the cast and crew members who work on our show and to avoid further disruption on set, we have decided to remove the role of ‘Jamal’ from the final two episodes of the season.”

    Daniels — along with Empire alumni Naomi Campbell, Xzibit, Vivica A. Fox, Serayah McNeill, Grace Byers, Tasha Smith — deleted their Instagram support of the thespian, as did the likes of Michael B. Jordan, Tracee Ellis, Tina Larson, Lance Gross and Jesse Ferguson.

    Smollett’s exile follows the allegations his presence angered cast members on set. The 36-year-old rapper was indicted on Thursday (February 20) on charges of felony disorderly conduct. He faces up to three years in prison if convicted.

      1. Nah. This wasn’t an accident and a momentary lapse in judgement. It was all planed and he had many chances to think about what he was doing. How can you have sympathy for that.

    1. And no apologies after challenging others being stand offish and telling everyone else how dumb they are for doubting him you dipshits are just as fake as he is

    2. These pretentious ass—-holes delete their accusatory social media posts, but refuse to say sorry to the people Jussie aimed his attacks on: white “redneck” types and Donald Trump supporters. After all, the descriptions of the “attackers” he and his manager described were that of white people. Yes, this was an attempt to demonize our President’s base, and if it were the other way around, you bet all hell would break loose. Remember these famous names when you decide where to spend your money and time. Boycott these jokers. Notice, they didn’t officially fire Smollett and blacklist him. That is what should have happened.

    3. Black people, your apology is not accepted. Enough is enough. This is not ok. White people be vigilant and dont put yourself in any situation with a black person where they can levy false accusations against you. Dont get smollested out here.

      1. Yeah as he fucked your entire community as people will now wonder if a hate crime is real. Keep up your support you fucking clown

    4. The two things that steered me away from the democratic party in the last few days is their defense of this lunatic and of the woman that joined isis and wants to come back now. I have spent my whole life supporting democrats only for them to act like i am the problem because im simply a white man living in america. Ive had enough. They will not be getting my vote any longer. Call it what you will but thats a fact.

      1. Stop lying. You never supported democrats. Please explain how democrats beleive all problems come from white people

        1. I dont owe you any explanations and i feel uncomfortable even talking to you. This conversation is documented so don’t try to make up any false accusations.

        2. Well, he’s right. I’ve been a progressive all my life and will continue to be a progressive based upon their ideas and values. But it is getting pretty tiresome being punished just because your wife and everybody assumes therefore you’re a trump voter. Believe me if a lot of white people didn’t vote for Obama including myself he would not have become president. I understand now what it’s like to be lumped in based on your race. What I don’t get is all the people that are getting fired just because they’re doing their jobs. God forbid somebody should have to call the police on an African-American or Latino in the store because they’re behaving badly. The next thing you know, they’re fired. Lesson learned. If you’re running the store oh, and your white, back away.

        3. “Please explain how democrats beleive all problems come from white people” – Haha! Do you live under a rock? You need this explained to you?

    5. Talk about stupid. This dumbass got two broke ass former extras, who neither look like any personal trainer i ever saw, and was dumbass enough to pay them with a personal check. His actions speak for themselves and he deserves what he gets. Period

    6. Narel your exactly whats wrong with the left. Cant reason wuth stupid. Get you a t-shirt.. Says. “Support ignorance support democrats”

    7. You’re basically talking about dinduisms, which is a real thing. The funny thing is, white people help forward this self victimizing bullshit.

    8. All those weird actors etc deleted their shit. No apology on assuming some racist shit happened before knowing all of the facts though.

      1. I like the idea of you and your future generations never relaxing, looking over your shoulders until the end of time, anticipating the possibility of your worst fears being realized…you know what y’all afraid of, right? Never relax…

            1. I think he meant these savages killing eachother that populate 60% of our prisons, that have less rates of high school diplomas than black kids in 3rd world countries that are way worse crime wise, might miss when shooting eachother for no reason and hit someone who’s a productive member of society.

    9. What’s really pathetic about this is that he’s thirty-phucking-six years old. I can see somebody pulling this schit when they’re 21, but not when they’re pushing 40 and middle-age. He might have been all for Black-Lives-Matter-Except-When-Other-Blacks-Pull-The-Trigger, but he sure never grew up.

    10. Black people i got something to say: Wakanda is the only successfull black country in the world. Too bad it’s an imaginary place created by white man Stan Lee.

      1. Did Obama Really Make You People Feel Comfortable Enough To Stop Pretending Like You're Not Raging Racists Anymore. says:

        Where did that come from? I guess any time is tea time to spew hatred when you’re a racist.

      2. Black panther was a great american. Why do we have to hate on a movie? Stan lee understood the importance of self identity and love for one’s culture. U love ur own culture, right? Why can’t we do the same?

      1. No, he did it because his je-ish handlers wanted some fuel for the race war igniting fire.

    11. Dame our society is a mess. Education and love for oneself always beats hatred. Loving someone different from you is a beautiful thing if we try.

    12. If lying and wasting the tax payers money is worthy of jail time, then 45 should be the one tossing the salad
