No

He wrote a check to the brothers who "attacked" him.

He couldn't control his smirk when he said that. I’ve watched the interview twice since the truth has come out and it is pure gold. He insisted on Roberts being the one who interviewed him. This interview should be studied in every journalism class.

Why not hire white people to beat you up? Why black Nigerians? Did he think this through? I sometimes have problems believing someone can be that much of an idiot.

That's fair enough...and I'll leave my questions out of it about why you thought it, but will say that it's respectable that you have the integrity to admit this. I'm still waiting for others, who were bashing on those of us who called this fake from the start, to admit this, as well.

Are you implying that Trump supporters are Klan lovers and skin heads?

They need to lock him up for all 3 years, no bail or early release. He intentionally tried to divide America further by “weaponzing” his race and sexual orientation for personal gain and wasted police resources.
Too bad for them that people do screen shots and archives immediately. They can delete all they want, we have them all.

I'm guessing that character will be written out now. Rather fast.
They went from "He's not being written out of the show" to slashing half of his appearances to maybe suspending him. Just wait, he's done.

I'm not buying this excuse. I still think there's more to it than that. Yes, if he had gotten away with it, he could have definitely become an A list actor overnight, but I really believe there was more behind this than "I didn't like my salary". That's just absurd and makes zero sense.

That we can agree on.

Makes me think that if they can't find cases of racism they'll make it up to support their accusations against Trump supporters.
Yes, many are. So, just like President Trump did this morning, you keep talking about it. The Dems are loud and never ending - it's time the right start throwing it all back at them. Get just as loud and relentless as them. Every time one of them says something about how "now real hate crimes will be met with skepticism" etc, etc, etc, you remind them about how this twit smeared all Trump supporters, how the media leaped onto that little bandwagon with glee, "This is twenty nineteen" "this was a modern day lynching" on and on and on....remind them, over and over again.

Also, thanks to the person who linked the video of the press briefing. They eviscerated Smollett AND the media. "This didn't get any special attention, YOU ALL gave this more attention, specifically, than we do...we gave every hate crime in this city the same amount of vigor because there's no place for hatred in this city..." His response to some clown shoe in the media asking why CPD gave this particular case "special attention". He is LIT!

Most criminals think they are smarter than the authority or regular folks.

'Oh, I will never get caught.' This is their mentality. lol

The only cause he “cherishes” is his own. He’s probably faking gay as well.

My question is why did he hire those guys?

Just so there would be a couple of guys on surveillance cameras in the vicinity at the time of the "incident"? The incident was not caught on video after all.

I mean, they didn't rough him up. They didn't even "play" rough him up. Did they scratch him?

He could have done the whole stupid thing by himself is my point.
