Roping In His Supporters

[Blind Gossip] This TV actor is in trouble, but it looks like there are at least a few people willing to go to the mattresses for him!

His family, especially his siblings, are totally prepared to lie for him. If he wants them to help him pretend that his behavior is due to drugs or mental illness, they will come up with examples and stories to support that. The entire family’s reputation rests on getting him off the hook and keeping him working, so they will do whatever it takes.

We told you before that he would not be backing down. Now it looks like he may be roping in his family to help him double down!

    That * Jussie.

    Empire needs to get rid of his stupid self. Mad over salary? Finish out the season and have your agent negotiate a new contract Moron!!

    Jussie Smollett, of course.

    Optional: Trash. Utter human garbage. And his family are no friends to the black or LGBTQ community if they go along with it. They can all move to some remote trash heap, where they belong.

    Liar liar Jussie Smollett.

    He is a scumbag, and if he gets away with this then there’s no justice in this world.

    If this was an average person and not a celebrity, they’d be in federal prison by now.

    Jussie Smollet
    My…the web of deceit gets even stickier.
    He needs to prosecuted and sent to jail- period.

    Jussie Smollet.

    Ugh. So not surprising. I think he’ll double down, blame everyone/everything else and will never admit fault. Pathetic.

    Jussie S.
    The whole thing is just plain sad and was so unbelievably unnecessary for him to do. Now he has his family lying too? Man, I don’t see anything positive coming from this. Covering up lies with more lies gets a person no where.
    What should he do? Come clean. Just admit everything and take full responsibility.

    [Optional] What do you think of him? What do you think he will do? I think he was an IDIOT! He’s going to be cut from Empire and probably claim either mental illness or drugs. Its a WRAP for his career.

    Jussie Smollet and his family of J names
    I think he is a lying scumbag but he did this for political power reasons – Kamala Harris may be connected. The phone records will leak.

    Jesse Smollett
    It was a very stupid,ill conceived idea of his to fake this attack, it was pretty obvious from the third day that the factsidnt hangtogether. He’s done great harm to those who have and will suffer real racist and homeaphobic attacks, making authorities question their veracity.

    Clues: “Roping” Around His Supporters = Jussie Omelette du Fromage alleged that his attackers draped a noose around his neck.

  25. BluntSavage says

    Jussie or whateva
    I’m actually so happy he got exposed. Plenty of “hate” crimes are faked just because it pays to be a victim in the weak society we live in. I want him to go away now, preferably to a prison or a ditch.

  28. 4girls4 says

    Jussie
    It ‘ doesn’t matter , his career is over. Does the family really what to add perjury to his list of crimes. The family that lies together does time together

  30. MikeyJoeChicago says

    Narcissistic personality disorder. Think he changed clothes at court today. One outfit when he got charged, and one for the bond hearing. It’s all about him with total disregard for everyone else.
    I think he’ll continue his charade in the face of truth.

  31. Jelly Drop says

    Jussie Smollett

    I think he has done something really terrible. He used his sexuality to make a ‘crime’ look worse, not for money or possessions but hate. And all for a pay rise. That to me cannot be excused. Real hate crimes and violence happen to people daily. He deserves jail. He really sickens me.

  37. bertwheeler says

    Jussie!
    Never heard of him until he pulled this stunt. He’ll come up with some lie about being bipolar or traumatized. He’ll get fined, put on probation without serving time, go away for a while, then test the waters with a softball interview. You or I would get 2 years in the slammer.

  38. gossipzillaisback says

    Actor: Jussie.
    [Optional] What do you think of him? What do you think he will do? If he indeed fabricated the whole thing, it was an interesting career move but he was too sloppy. Texting the perps? Big no no.
    He’s been charged with a felony for which he could really do time (as opposed to paying a fine). I think he will go the mental illness route if it comes to trial. I also think a $100,000 bail and revoking his passport is way too much, completely punitive and possibly politically…

  39. Bookworm says

    Jussie is a disgusting human being. Having the police investigate a fake hate crime is despicable. That is all.

    Jussie Smollett & His Leech Family.

    This narcissist with his grandiose victim fantasy is going to push that pseudo victim card to its max …these rotten apples do not fall far from the money tree.

  46. parkland45 says

    Smollett. He must have mental issues to do something so dumb. He even wrote a check to the Nigerian guys. Very pathetic.

  49. Marybel says

    Jussie is in big trouble. He’s a crappy actor who couldn’t pull off a scam for his Dem buddies. Why give a hater sympathy?

  51. conspiracyc says

    Well, I guess the rest of the Smolletts carreers are going down with Jussies!🤷🏽‍♂️

    And what’s this crap apology to “the black community, lbgtq community”? HE TRIED TO START A RACE WAR FOR MONEY PEOPLE! The group of people he specifically needs to apologize to is any white republican male that goes to the gym.

    Why do I have to keep apologizing over for and over for racism and he doesn’t have to?

    All racists can go jump off a bridge, Jussie can lead up there with the leader of the KKK.

  53. LizardQueen says

    Jessie Mullet (not a typo)

    He rope in all the family support he wants… none of them can hire him. He’s quite finished. Gurl, bye!

  55. High Steppa says

    Jussie Smollett. It doesn’t matter what he, his family, or anyone else says. The truth is out and he’s a shameful laughingstock. I hope he goes to jail.

  63. allurbasebelongstome says

    Actor: Jussie Smollett

    He has lots of siblings in the entertainment biz and this is all becoming very convoluted so I don’t care anymore.

  69. madamnoir81 says

    Actor: Jussie Smollett

    What do you think of him?
    I think he has to have some type of mental problems to have done what he did.

    What do you think he will do?
    He will continue to lie until the very end.

  71. pawpaw says

    Jussie Smollett
    I think he is ridiculous and arrogant. Instead of taking responsibility, which would at least be more stand-up, he’s blaming everything else. The nerve is unbelievable!

  77. smartplayer4 says

    Jussie Smollett ‘s family are a family of actors and they will support even if that that means they have to act like he is mentally ill or drug addicted. They’re actors so they will pull it off.
    I think he really is mentally ill and used his acting skills to lie for sympathy and publicity. I’m hoping he gets written off the show so he can focus on his mental well being.

  78. sugarwithspice says

    It’s Jussie Smollett.
    I live in Chicago and knew this story was fake from the moment I heard it. I have zero sympathy for him and hope he gets prosecuted, fired and blacklisted from Hollywood forever. Besides jail, I think he needs to donate extensive time and money to real victims of the crimes he claimed happened.
    I’m waiting for him to blame the brothers for blackmailing him since he has nothing to lose at this point. Pure scum.

  85. javajolted says

    Ugh. Jussie Smollett

    The more he plays victim, makes excuses, the more he pisses me off. His people sent out a statement that said, “”Mr. Smollet is a young man of impeccable character …..”
    Young man? Jussie is 36. You are an adult. Act like one. Put the privilege and entitlement aside and pay the price.

  86. lgindahouse says

    Jussie Smollett

    Seems he was looking for attention in the first place, now maybe getting more than he bargained for.

  88. TeaDrinker says

    Jussie Smollett

    Optional: He’s horrible. He even framed his brother in 2007 by lying to cops when he got pulled over saying his name was Jake Smollett (his brother)! This newest stunt isn’t all that surprising given his personality. I think he’ll keep denying it no matter what evidence is presented against him.

  89. Lindylou says

    Jussie Smollett.

    He is SCUM of the lowest order. A spoilt brat who should be thrown in jail for what he’s done.

  92. amagod121 says

    Jussie Smollett.

    My opinion of him just inched down even lower. Why doesn’t he just come clean? No, instead he’ll end up looking even more foolish because he has already proven himself to be a liar, and I don’t think many people will be taken in by his act. What a despicable person!

  93. Summerborn says

    Jussie Smollett.

    This is a sad situation and I do think that mental illness figures into it. The police were right to charge him, but I hope that he gets the therapy that he needs.

  96. GretaGuesses says

    Jussie Smollet’s family will probably say whatever. I hope it doesn’t work.

    He committed a hate crime. He should get federal charges due to sending a threatening letter with white powdervia the U.S. Mail. .It doesn’t matter that it turned out to be aspirin, ..it’s a terroristic threat.

    He’ll claim mental illness, MPD, maybe, and Jessie, a straight white male personality, who’s homophobic & a Trump supporter, will come out and say he ordered the attack on the Jussie personality.👿👼😨😱
