Brothers Paid by Jussie Smollett to Instigate 2019 Hoax Apologize to Country, Didn't 'Foresee' Ramifications

Smollett was sentenced to 150 days in jail plus probation

The two brothers who were paid by actor Jussie Smollett to orchestrate a fake hate crime had a message for the country about its "ramifications."

Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo, nicknamed Bola and Ola, apologized for their role in the 2019 hoax, saying they agreed to Smollett’s terms because they wanted to use his connections as a prominent actor to help them in their own careers.

"I just first want to apologize to everyone in the audience, the country and anyone who might have been affected by this directly. When we were asked to partake in this, we really didn't foresee the ramifications of what something like this could do to the country," Ola Osundairo explained Thursday on "Hannity."

I can forgive them. They just thought it would cause a bit of commotion and the country would move on.

Smollett was found guilty of five of the six charges of disorderly conduct against him following a nearly two-week trial in 2021.

He was sentenced to 150 days in jail and 30 months of probation over the incident, but he was released from jail six days into his sentence pending his appeal.

“Bola & Ola” lol!
I never heard those nicknames used for the two brothers before.

That sounds like some ranchera song by the late
Vicente Fernandez.

When is the judge going to get over the terror of a visit from Juicy Fruit’s grandma and put Juicy Fruit back in jail? The boy isn’t above the law.

They were funny and likable in the clip I saw, just not deep thinkers. Juicy was the brains of the operation as we have seen.

Absolutely. They're both criminals. They're only playing nice because they got caught.
