Is there a #GoFundMe we can contribute to and help Jussie's cause against this nightmare?
A fool and their money are soon parted...
Im in. If he got equal pay none of this would have happened. It was an injustice to him. $65k a week? Phooey!
Look at this stupid logic. Chicago PD wouldn't have solved those murders anyway.
Jussie at least gave them some publicity.
He's not even that good at self-inflicting wounds.

More like good ol' USA Greed + Publicity (Trump should be proud).
65000 x 18 episodes a year just wasn't enough.
His blaming the M.A.G.A. guys was simply because that's what his coastal-elite echo chamber told him to do.
They won't investigate further, because it will too soon lead to the Top (see pic).
Jussie needs to think about a career in politics, acting is too fickle and dangerous.

Celebrities, news commentators and even presidential candidates weighed in on something that was choreographed by an actor.”

One more week till the end of Black History month. This incident goes in the books.
Isn't it amazing there's been NO bigger story in the last 3 weeks? Usually the news cycle flushes itself in at most a week or so.
When was the last time you saw the media NOT have a "new" thing to talk about for THAT long.
No, they are homophobic racist haters, who in league with Chicago PD have spun this whole thing and contaminating every possibly jury against him.
Yeah, I don't think the FBI will bother going after him for the mail fraud (too busy with other useless stuff).
BUT... the IRS could ding him if he doesn't issue the Nigerians a proper 1099 in timely fashion.
So the Chicago PD commissioner blames #GMA because his guys wasn't so much time on this??
OK, I get it, he has a boss too, and they wanted this "investigated", but why?
This whole ordeal is horrible for Jussie. Now he might even lose some of his meager pay due to suspension.
"Sources close to the production told Variety that producers are weighing whether to suspend the actor after he was charged Wednesday in Chicago with filing a false police report," reports the outlet. "A spokesperson for 20th Century Fox Television, which produces the series, declined to comment. Smollett’s status on the show may change amid a fluid legal situation."
However while the producers have discussed the possibility of suspending Smollett, a "knowledgable source close to the situation said Smollett is expected by Fox to finish his work on the series despite the controversy that erupted around Smollett after he reported to Chicago police that he was the victim of a vicious hate crime."
Personally, I feel they should give him a whole new series and a LARGE payraise for enduring the nightmare that every gay black man in USA is faced with every day in Cheeto45-land.
https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/jussie-smollett-empire-1203144602/The kid was just put in a hi-pressure cooker and make a mistake, with all the stress from being gay & black in a hateful USA these days. Why can't we just see that and move on?
The Chicago police would rather be vicious, and try to ruin him over this. Who gains then?
Catalogue the Pouncers. Don't let them hide behind their Hate.

Police haven’t made public all the potential charges that could yet be filed.
The fact that he defaced his own face, the alteration of evidence, another independent crime. If they really want to pile all of this on.
Jussie Smollett is officially finished! Even the left will start pulling away from him now. He is no longer useful to their cause. Why? Not because he is a fraud. Because his fraud didn’t work!

Bail is 100000 dollars (1.5 Empire shows worth, before taxes), and passport will be surrendered.

Only 10000 must be paid. About 3x the Nigerian cost (excluding training/fitness fees).

And who was pushing an 'anti-lynching bill' in all this time? Ironically enough, Jussie's buddy, Kamala.
How deep is that side of the pool, again?
