l knew this was fake the second I heard it. Who in the world call Chicago MAGA coutry? That' should have been enough for the media (TMZ reported it first) to investigate it further before rushing to report it first. I think the failure to report the news accuratelyy is about money. There are so many places to get the news now, they're sacrificing accuracy to get ratings/readers. Remember there was a time when there was only 3 networks, PBS, your local indepedent stations (if they even had news) or the radio to get news quickly. Newspapers and news magazines were old news (1 to 7 days later). Now with the internet and your smart phone, there's a million sources that you can get in a second or two.
I'm hearing now on the radio that the police are saying it was an attempt to increase his salary.
his only screen time now will be loafing on the sofa watching reruns of 'the jeffersons.'
They'll be all Jussie who and act like the never believed the guy even though that's demonstrably false. That's how Hollywood tends to work based on past events. Look at Meryl Streep and the Weinstein thing. She acted like she never supported the guy when the facts say anything but and the same will be for Smollet. They'll just pretend ignorance.
He has been axed from “Empire”. Excellent. The little attention hoar is still trying to sell his story. I would like some guidance from Cory Booker on what to think about this. How about a public statement, Cory. Social justice needs you to be a warrior.
From the last two episodes of the season, Smollett has been axed. Not from the show.
It's absolutely not far fetched to say some Individual 1 supporters didn't know who he was before this hoax. I've seen it everywhere including here, Twitter, Reddit, numerous other outlets that the MAGA base didn't know him or find him irreverent. Why is that offensive since it's not a good or bad statement but more of an observation? It's just another way to be offended.
Who cares??? The only this seems to really matter to is YOU.
And for the love of God, please stop with the Individual 1 crap. I see that and I immediately think this post isn't worth reading. Maybe I need to follow my gut.
