Jussie Smollett to make post-scandal directorial debut with B-Boy Blues coming soon to BET+
daily mail ^

Jussie Smollett will make his post-scandal directorial debut on BET+ with the upcoming film B-Boy Blues.

It will be the first project for the 39-year-old actor since being found guilty in December 2021 of charges stemming from a fake hate crime against himself.

Mona Scott-Young, 55, and her Monami Entertainment has joined the film as a producer and was a key figure in the BET+ deal, according to an article on Wednesday by Variety.

Smollett was sentenced in March to 150 days in county jail after being convicted on felony charges over the January 2019 hate crime hoax.

He served only six days in jail before he was released on bond pending the outcome of the appeal of his conviction.

B-Boy Blues is a film adaptation of the James Earl Hardy novel and stars Timothy Richardson, Ledisi, Brandee Evans, Heather B, Marquise Vilson, Jabari Redd, Broderick Hunter and Thomas Mackie.

'Through our content slate, we are intentional about representing the fullness of the Black experience, including that of the LGBTQ+ community,' said BET+ executive Devin Griffin.

'B-Boy Blues’ is an artful, heart-rending film about the complexity of love – something we all can relate to.'

If Jussie is smart (..I know..) he won’t appear in his directorial debut at all. The moment people see that smug smirk, it will bring the whole tangled mess right back to the surface.

Does this guy have some kind of inflated sense of entitlement? His narcissism is epic.

In reality is a nobody. Smollet has no talent. But he is a Negro sci-fi homo so who knows who he used his knee-pads on. Weinstein is in jail. It must be somebody at Netflix or HBO or one of those. A straight White person with his resume wouldn't even get to talk to the receptionist.

Smollett? Oh yeah the guy who gets convicted then gets sent home from jail because he’s too much of a baby to handle it?

Disgusting.

Black boy blues - a love story about a black male college graduate having a torrid love affair with black boy from across the tracks in the ghetto . So not Butt Boy Blues, more like Black Butt Boy Blues

So the racist network is going to air a racist show directed by a racist hate-crime hoaxer? OK - got it.

Can’t show his face in public anymore, so he can sit in a folding chair and yell “roll ‘em!” and get paid for it. He is a human Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Twilight Zone episode rolled into one.
