For an actor, that's kind of a big deal. Everyone else shows up to work and people see the scratch, ask what happened, and then move on. An actor with a scratch, while it can be covered up, is going to need to explain how they got that scratch. Their face is their brand - you can't scratch up your brand and not answer for it. A lot of people, not just him, make money off of him. They are going to want to know what happened and why.



As another outlet pointed out, that's actually not uncommon for victim statements.
Especially if they’re famous.

Put into this context, it makes more sense. You have to remember, Warhorse, I'm older than dirt...lol.

No, he was talking about heroin users getting salt, coke, or anthrax instead of heroin.

If this turns out to be another Hoax there better be consequences.

So I saw the hate-death threat letter on TV. What I hadn’t heard before was the person in a noose part of it.

This letter was received last Thursday Jan 24. 4.5 days later this guy is attacked and a noose is looped around his neck? Jussie added the “bleach” part to his story so as not to completely copy the letter.

Wonder what’s really wrong with this guy? Did he send the letter?

Sorry, I truly have no idea how old you are. But then again, there are several bars where we see many old timers come in and show us a few dance moves. There is one karaoke bar where a favorite of the crowd is a 71 year old man who loves to belt out Frank Sinatra, and he's loved by everyone who goes here, old, young, men, women of all races and cultures.
