Jussie's broken his silence on his attack, stating ... "Let me start by saying that I'm OK. My body is strong but my soul is stronger." He then expressed thanks, saying ... "The outpouring of love and support from my village has meant more than I will ever be able to truly put into words."
As for the investigation, Smollett says he's working with authorities and has been 100 percent factual and consistent. He says, "Despite my frustrations and deep concern with certain inaccuracies and misrepresentations that have been spread, I still believe justice will be served."
Jussie also reiterated his family's statement -- these sorts of attacks are happening daily ... and his wasn't an isolated incident. He says he'll address the details of the "horrific incident" soon, but adds ... "Most importantly, during times of trauma, grief and pain, there is still a responsibility to lead with love, It's all I know. And that can't be kicked out of me."
Jussie Smollett did not refuse to hand over phone records to cops ... rather, he didn't want to turn over his phone ... sources directly connected to Jussie tell TMZ.
The sources say cops "informally asked" Jussie if he would surrender his phone ... to verify he was talking to his manager on his cell when he was attacked. We're told he felt "uncomfortable" doing that and declined, but he was never asked about phone records. A Chicago police official had said Jussie refused to turn over both the phone and records. We're told Smollett has already said he will provide the records, and is in the process of gathering them.
The sources want to clear up 2 other points. First, there are reports that Jussie told cops his assailants were wearing MAGA hats. The sources underscore what TMZ first reported ... that Jussie never said the men were wearing the hats. Rather, they screamed "MAGA country."
And the last point ... there are reports that Jussie had the rope around his neck long after the incident when he was being treated at the hospital. We're told that is not the case. He did have the rope around his neck when cops arrived at his building 42 minutes after the incident. The sources say he kept it there to "preserve the evidence."
Jussie Smollett Speaks ‘My Body is Strong, Soul is Stronger’

And how are your clothes there Jussie Boy? Did they survive the bleach attack?
Crowdstrike and Fusion GPS should be able to help Jussie find the records and then report what they found.
Too bad your story keeps getting weaker. By the way, what ever happened to that Moe-haircut guy that was supposedly sending bombs to members of congress, a washed-up ex-Sec'y of State Klinton, and Robert DeNiro.
My Body is Strong, Soul is Stonger AND BULLSHIT IS DEEPEST.
Yet his story is weak.
Then let the police examine your phone. Until then you are lying.
I totally believe he was hit—by his Grindr date that just wasn’t feeling it and was calling for an Uber.
What on earth does that mean?
Does he have paper documents scattered among several filing cabinets which detail all of this recent phone calls? Are these the records he is gathering? Ridiculous.
Hand over your phone. That's where the records are. There is nothing to "gather".
And my lie is strongest.
Well, bleach with some anti-freeze mixed in.
Chicago??? LOL!
I still believe justice will be served."
Not unless you're charged with false reporting.
I notice that TMZ turned off the comments section of the article, they don't seem to be happy with this lame-o attempt to "raise awareness" and the fact that 99% of their article comments have been pointing out all the ways that this guy is full of crap.
He made the whole thing up for PUBLICITY and also to cover up his gay sex app he was getting “Dates” from..he knows there is NO way the Chicago PD can prove this since there are NO witnesses and NO video of the “attack” so now he will be given movie roles, etc and become famous, no one knew who this prick was beforehand, and I believe that letter he received last week, he sent it to himself
Kevin Spacey did the same thing when he was attacked in a London Park at 4am in the morning.
He claimed he was walking his dog, when he was attacked and robbed.
Then quickly he withdrew the charges.
But he had to lie and fake an assault because those mean MAGA hat wearing people that he saw on TV triggered him!
Just another in a long line of race hoaxes. Nice touch throwing ‘MAGA Country’ in there. In downtown Chicago. Sure.
I think the cops knew immediately it was a hoax but no doubt they are being massively pressured by the Rats up top to continue the “investigation”. What I think is going to happen is eventually it will be brushed under the rug just like the Tawana Brawley hoax and left as an “open case”, he will admit nothing and everyone will slink away and the left will say the attack by the evil white racist MAGA men really happened when in fact it didn’t.
You posted that about a minute behind me. Too bad for him that it’s true, haha!!
Absolutely. The cops knew this guy was full of crap 15 seconds into the conversation. They probably see this kind of aftermath after a bad Grindr date all the time.
[‘MAGA Country’ in there. In downtown Chicago. Sure.]
Yep. Preposterous.
Yep its a common thing..especially since a similar hoax was done in 2016, in Boston, a man said he was getting off the bus and was attacked and the attackers said “This is Trump country” a few days later, the cops said he made the whole thing up..I dont blame the Chicago PD, I think they knew after 5 minutes this story was bogus, but since he’s an “actor” and are fearful of the race hustlers appearing, they are going with it, eventually they will come out and say they cant find the attackers and that this case is now a cold case I dont think they will call him a liar out of fear of being sued
