Early in the morning hours of a polar vortex in January 2019, FOX's "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett claimed two White supremacist Trump supporters attacked him near his Chicago apartment in a racially-motivated hate crime that would soon incite outrage from activists and the media.
It's the "hate crime" that dominated headlines, but facts proved none of it was true.
In December 2021, the now-40-year-old actor and singer was convicted of five felony counts of disorderly conduct. One year ago, he was sentenced in March 2022 to 150 days in county jail.
Brothers Abimbola "Bola" and Olabinjo "Ola" Osundairo, Smollett's accomplices in the act, finally broke their silence to the media about the hoax for the first time in an interview now streaming on Fox Nation.

Libs always lie. Always. And they usually get away with it.
Kamala Harris jumped on the Juicy case
She was still using her manufactured slogans for weeks after the case had seriously begun to fall apart.
BTTT
Every idiot may have thought that. Wiser (conservative) minds immediately knew it was a hoax to generate publicity for Smollett in his contract negotiations.
Deportation-a good reward for telling the truth. Should not have taken part in this ‘crime’.
They’re all hypocrites, bullies and spoiled brats in need of a good, hard spanking.
"For some reason, African-Americans, we were like oddly quiet. What they didn’t understand is that we were supporting him with our silence. Because we understood that this n****** was clearly lying."
He succeeded, in that he is definitely the poster child for modern leftist activism.
SPJNK.
Because she was in on the whole thing..she was one of the first to come out with her anti lynching bill right after this bogus “attack”..she is friends with the family the whole thing was planned in advance
What’s mind boggling is that State Farm (or maybe it’s Allstate) has Smollett as their spokesman now. YouTube is full of their ads featuring him.
In our current clown world, getting busted for staging an outrageous race hoax is a career enhancement.
And of course what he did was basically a micro version of the Democrats’ J6 hoax.
LOL
It would be refreshing to read about an actor who wanted to become the poster child for becoming a better actor.
I don’t think that’s Smollett in the State Farm ads, although the actor (Kevin Miles) does look somewhat like him. Smollett is the kiss-of-death right now.
Mission accomplished.
Why didn’t she advocating for Subway giving a bleach umbrella to everyone who orders a sandwich?
