============================================================================================
The cast of Empire is divided over Jussie Smollett's arrest, with some standing by the actor and believing his innocence while others want him to be fired.
Smollett went straight to the Cinespace studio on Thursday after being released on a $10,000 bond.
He reportedly pleaded with his colleagues to believe that he did not pay two Nigerian brothers to attack him in a staged hate crime so that he could get a raise, as is alleged by police.
Some of the stars are 'f*****g furious' about the allegations and believe he should be fired for bringing shame to the entire production, according to TMZ.

Hey, RB, shall you make the popcorn, or shall I? :-)
I read some headline today that said he was back on the set and I remember thinking, “That’s not gonna go well.”
The whole lot of them are nuts. They think humans are robots and can simply be programmed to do a thing and they do it. Children.
And does Fox, a pillar of courage, continue to review its options? Fox needs to be boycotted until the financial pain makes them do the right thing.

He could be telling the "truth" to his colleagues if only one part of what the police said is not true, like the motive.
The Left:
Ignore these facts. We have a narrative to continue.
In time the show Empire will be more watched than ever, Smollett will become the next Kaepernick, and his trial will be more watched that OJs. This is the sick state of America, 2019.
They’re not furious he’s brought shame to the show. They’re furious because way less false accusations against Trump supporters will be believed.
Anyone heard from Chief drum beater Vietnam vet lately?
We all know he faked it. The fact he is fighting it is proof that the truth has become irrelevant. People will believe a falsehood despite the clear facts because the narrative is more important than the facts. That’s why people believe the Newtown shooting never happened.
I believe more and more people will come over to his side just to be a contrarian.
“They have video of the two black (white guys in maga hats), buying supplies at a hardware store such as bleach and clothesline”
That they gave to the two white Trump Supporters. No, that the Trump supporters stole from them.
There won’t be a trial. He’ll be “forced” to take a plea deal because, as a successful black man, he could never get a fair trial.
Smollett now faces the major wrath of fellow Leftists—especially in the media. Ouch.
Why the bleach?
women at a motel breakfast spot were crying, oh Jesse no!!!they are lynching him again, he did not lie it is the police entrapping him..waaa waaa.. I said where is his perp walk pic? I want to see his butt in handcuffs under a height scale.. a lady said they can’t do that to him for lying, lying is not against the law, yea tell that to those under the mueller investigation..oh Jesse no...Good LORD that popcorn washed down nice
How can any thinking person believe this idiot is innocent, given what we know so far? And we probably know only SOME of the evidence against him thus far.
“....Others are standing by him and believe his claim that he is innocent...”
How can he be innocent? Can someone please tell me?
Professor Douchewitz on Laura last night said that NO ONE, I repeat NOOOOOO ONE ever gets convicted and put in jail for filing a false police report....
"Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.”Terry Goodkind (the author) says he doesn't write fantasy for the sake of fantasy, but rather uses it as a medium for social commentary. ― The second is a good description of the Democrat voter base....
"many people must be ruled to thrive. In their selfishness and greed, they see free people as their oppressors. They wish to have a leader who will cut the taller plants so the sun will reach them. They think no plant should be allowed to grow taller than the shortest, and in that way give light to all. They would rather be provided a guiding light, regardless of the fuel, than light a candle themselves.”
I don’t know. I keep thinking OJ Smollett. All black jury who knows.
