Looks like he is going to try to hang tight and fight it out:
Jussie Smollett 'angered and devastated' at suggestions he was involved in his attack

Those Nigerians should have been charged, too. This is just one more example of pretend white privilege.

For Smollett’s sake he better hope he doesn’t get jail time. Suddenly his fake hard core act would be put to the test, and his chances for survival would not be good in jail. The brevity of this hoax would become really real to him if he ends up staring down the possibility of jail time. Suddenly things won’t be so funny anymore!
Chances are, if he does go to jail, he'll be in solitude.

So the defense is starting to trickle out ... the $7000 he paid the Nigerians wasn't for the attack, it was for personal training.

Got it.

I can pity him but it isn't my place to "forgive" him. Smollett and millions of others are in need of some serious counseling. They are so obsessed with their hatred of Trump they are ruining their own lives Joy Behar let the cat out of the bag a few weeks ago when Whoopie asked her (regarding the Covington Hi boys) why journalists et al on the left are so quick to run with stories that support their feelings about Trump and don't bother to verify the truth of them. Joy said, "Because we're desperate to get him out of office." That says it all. These people--MILLIONS of them--truly are in the grip of a real disorder--Trump Derangement Syndrome. They need long term therapy and rehabilitation.

LOL. Then I wonder what kind of excuse they will make up for the rope they purchased that Smollett left on his neck as "proof" to the cops.

Haha yeah and the battle ropes they bought for their training sessions somehow got tangled up in this.

True, but it's good to see that there are several Dems/liberals (not the same thing as Leftists!) on this forum who didn't buy the story and have been looking for the truth with the rest of us in this thread.

You're linking to one of the most TDS inflicted people on planet Earth. This guy is beyond even the worst on this forum.

Meh, I'm not feeling that "apology". "I owe apologies" TO WHOM, Avenatti? Why don't you say to whom you own them to, you skank "lawyer"?

Yep. No one wants to recognize that.

At that point, we will hear he was suffering from a mental health crisis from the pressures of fame and it will be off to rehab for a month or two.


In 6-12 months, Jussie 1.0 racial justice advocate will reemerge as Jussie 2.0 mental health advocate.
And then they'll all gush at how strong he is, and what a wonderful job he's done at turning his life around to help others. Vomit.

Exactly right. All these people were so quick to condemn, denounce, judge, and hate on Trump supporters because of it, but now, suddenly, "there were no victims". BS.

Well, he can keep crying. His Instagram was already screen captured with him and Abel following each other, in addition to Abel working out at the gym where Jussie lives. So cry more crocodile tears, jackass. How stupid is this guy?

Also: Again, people, he never, ever once said that any of them were wearing MAGA hats, and he never, ever once said that they were white. The only time he alluded to their race was when he did GMA, that's it.

And also: Let's stop bashing everyone on the left. Plenty of lefties have come out and agreed that this was a hoax. Even some who were lambasting those of us early on who said this whole thing was BS from the start. I know no one will get any apologies for that, but it's not surprising. For the ones who hang on to this being real - does it really matter what people like that think?

Every single person: Kamala Harris, Don Lemon, Cory Booker, AOC, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, who immediately bought into this and indirectly or directly condemned ANY Trump supporter needs to go on national TV and apologize - real apology, not some half assed "I owe apologies". They owe not only Trump supporters apologies, they owe apologies to every single victim who did not lie about what happened to them, and essentially, just everyone in general because someone, somewhere, is going to be a victim of something at some point - and crap like this is why people don't believe a lot of victims anymore.

Stop lying. Stop championing someone simply because what they claim confirms your disgusting bias. And stop acting like it's okay to trash on people, and then when you find out you're wrong, you pretend that never happened.

And last but not least: Get a damn clue how Trump supporters really talk and think. Stop assuming the worst about every last one of them. GET OVER your TDS! It's been almost 4 years since Trump announced he was running for President, and we are still here listening to people have a GD conniption fit about it. Seek therapy!
