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."
Read the Blog “Second City Cop” Over 200 posts asking Cop questions. Jussie story falling apart fast. Seasoned Detectives smelled a rat within minutes.
The “alleged” attack is sounding more and more faked with every report. I suspect a serious psych eval is in order.
Broke his silence? This lie has constantly been in the headlines.
Silence. Hmm, another word with a new opposite meaning.
Another straight hating drama queen heard from. In the end, this will all debunked, but his feelings will be what counts.
It's now working.
I was able to see the comments when I tried it again. They must be overloading the Disqus server!!! (I’m kidding, it probably just glitched.)
Cursing
Probably a scratch from a Grindr date that wasn’t feeling the moment, was leaving, and was met with resistance.
“— these sorts of attacks are happening daily ...”
Then why is this world wide breaking news?
No doubt!! Oh, sakes.
He’s pretty well shown that his soul is as weak as his story.
Regarding the photo: So, we have days of media reporting on an incident which resulted in one scratch on his face?
Neither does salami smuggling.
Typical lying Democrat.
So it’s his mind that’s gone.
Yep. And blacks who are killed every weekend in Chicago by gang violence continue to be completely ignored, but this guy who gives himself a tiny scratch gets support from every Democrap celebretard and Democrat politician in Washington
