Jussie Smollett placed in psychiatric ward of prison following outburst at his sentencing, family claims

The family of disgraced former Empire actor Jussie Smollett says he has been put in a psychiatric ward and considered a suicide risk, despite being mentally sound.

It’s the latest twist in the fate of Smollett, who was convicted in December of faking a 2019 hate crime against himself, in what police said was an attempt to build public sympathy.

“What’s very concerning is that there was a note attached to his paperwork today saying that he’s at risk of self-harm,” his brother Jocqui Smollett said in a video posted to Jussie’s Instagram account on Saturday. “He is in no way, shape, or form at risk of self-harm.”

"He is very stable. He is very strong. He is very healthy and ready to take on the challenge that has ultimately has been put up against him," Jocqui added.

The video doesn’t include any proof of the claims.

The Cook County Sheriff’s Office did not directly answer The Independent’s questions about whether Smollett was under mental health watch, though it said in a statement he is not in solitary confinement, instead being held “under direct observation at all times” in his own cell.

despite being mentally sound.

must be FAKE NEWS, because a mentally sound person does not FAKE A Hate Crime against himself, I think the Judge should reevaluate his sentence and maybe add another year to it.

That's what everyone is coming to realize. Only problem is they are dragging every black person in America down with them by claiming racism.

He committed this fraud with the approval of the current White House occupants. He may not be crazy to get the non-suicidal message out there.

Don’t Nurse Ratched me, bro. We haven’t
gone on our fishing trip yet.

Must be a survival strategy to protect himself
from the other inmates. Acting crazier than
all get out was something someone mentioned
to me once as a conflict avoidance technique
he used for his jail term. Say the stuff
he did and for sure, the inmates will leave
you alone. Smollett’s version is way more
mild mannered though in a silly serious way.

It seems to me a fine, parole, house arrest and/or community service is appropriate; but, I kind of think that’s what’s appropriate for non-violent Jan. 6th protestors.

Something seems wrong when people committing forcible rape and first degree murder are eligible for parole after two years, and pranksters and trespassers rot in jail.

“The video doesn’t include any proof of the claims”

Unlike the video that got his ass put in jail.

That was my first thought as well.

Blacks are wary of crazies and for good reason. They will avoid contact instead of confrontation...............

This moron tried to incite race riots, and his media choir was only too anxious to assist him.

His attempts at obtaining pity are falling on deaf ears.

[[because a mentally sound person does not FAKE A Hate Crime against himself]]

AND then go around insisting he is Innocent and being railroaded despite overwhelming evidence that he is guilty.

The man is truly mentally disturbed. Either that or he feels that his skin color Trumps facts, and he will be found innocent in people’s minds because he is black and gamed the system in order to bully people into supporting him or face the wrath of blm. Only problem is blm isn’t standing behind him so much. He probably thought blm would riot on his behalf- if so he sure miscalculated

Another staged event - act cray cray, get put in psych ward, probably private room, lots of privileges, easy living.....avoid the whole prison scene altogether. Special arrangement by Kamala and Obama.
