They were asked to prove their claim with facts and reality, they haven't. I'll ask the same of you; be an adult and backup this claim using facts. Thank you.
I didn't vote in the poll, but I never believed he wasn't attacked - above is my first post in this thread. I always thought he was probably attacked by some black men.
In his interview with Robin Roberts he actually didn't say that the attackers had on MAGA hats and he didn't say he knew for sure that they were white.
As I noted, black hetero men often attack black gay men. I've known many black gay men who were attacked just because they were gay. It is the main "hate crime" perpetuated by and against black people in America. Nigerians in particular do not agree with or like homosexuality and I felt, upon learning that two Nigerian born brothers were involved that they got their story straight for police and police believed them because there is a stereotype of gay men as "drama queens."
I expected the charges to be dropped or for him to be acquitted if it went to trial as he has always been consistent in his narrative and CPD never provided any evidence that this was not an actual attack on him. The media accounts tried to make it seem like a white on black crime, not Jussie himself. It is another indication IMO of how people jump to conclusions and fail to look at the fine details of a media story.
In his very first statement - before anyone had publicly called his story into question - he made it very clear that he was completely honest with the police. That was the point that I began to doubt his story, because why would anyone think to say that when their honesty hadn't been questioned?
The facts of the story haven't changed, however the only concrete evidence of it being a hoax is the brothers' testimony. I'm guessing the state's attorney determined that they aren't credible witnesses and cut him loose because it became clear that the charges wouldn't stick in court.
I'm guessing you were looking in the mirror when you said that, right?
My comments are not racist or homophobic like the poster. In fact it has zero to do with guilty or innocent of the case. To justify the homophobic rhetoric is pointless.
Mark Geragos,Smollet's lawyer, was indicted as a co-conspirator with Michael Avenatti. He tried to extort Nike for $20 million dollars.
Kim Foxx of the states attorney's office, which dropped the charges should have recused herself right away. She and others are being investigated by the Feds. It's all going down fast.
