avaenatti is a punk, but props to him for owning up instead of running away or making excuses.

meanwhile, race hustler extraordinaire Shaun king has mysteriously deleted every single one of his jussie tweets.

lots of followup on that GQ article i mentioned yesterday:

He should do some real time. Because IF someone had been falsely accused of this crime, it would have been practically impossible for them to get a fair trial and I'm sure Smollett would have been silent about it.

Yeah, he'll probably get probation for a year or two and community service.

Personally, I don't think he was thinking all that much. I suspect that he and his manager knew he was going to be let go from Empire for whatever reason. Budget cuts, or new direction or management taking over, who knows. It happens all of the time. And I am thinking his manager was the one who concocted this thing to keep his client's name in the media for a little bit longer. I might be totally wrong here, but I just feel like this is something a manager would do.

No. Not it's not.

How much time and money of the CPD and the FBI has this moron wasted? And JS is the one who should be charged with a hate crime ... the crime he committed was entirely motivated by prejudice based on race.

Jussie smollett if his story comes out to be false. He needs to make a public apology. Also society mist forgive him. Trump derangement syndrome is real. People are getting their lives ruined over trump.

Imagine, loony left, that this piece of crap avennatti has more about him to admit and apologize for his jumping of the gun on this issue instead of your PRESIDENTIAL candidates Harris and Booker as well as lefty heroes like Chris cuomo and don lemon. Scum bag avenatti is better than them!! HAHAHAHA!!

Nope, not at all. Judging by the multiple rep points I have received for that post people feel the same way I do.

No. I can't stand the guy but this isn't on him. He's just a handy excuse for the bad behavior we've been seeing for years.
