Musician and actor Jussie Smollett spoke to ABC News' Robin Roberts in his first interview since being viciously attacked on Jan. 29 in what is being investigated as a possible hate crime.
In a clip that ran ahead of the "Good Morning America" interview Thursday morning, Smollett revealed that he is "pissed off."
The 36-year-old, who portrays a gay musician on Fox's "Empire," addressed rumors and criticism that he might not be telling the truth.
"What is it that has you so angry? Is it the...attackers," Roberts asked.
"Attackers, but it's also the attacks," Smollett responded. "It's like, you know, at first, it was a thing of, like, 'Listen, if I tell the truth then that's it, 'cause it's the truth." Then it became a thing of like, 'Oh, how can you doubt that? Like, how do you-- how do you not believe that? It's the truth.'"
"And then it became a thing of like, 'Oh, it's not necessarily that you don't believe that this is the truth, you don't even want to see the truth,'" he added.

Hate Crime law is divisive and certainly unnecessary.
Angry that no one believes his lies
Um, wut?
Now that is one highly educated representative of Hollywood elite
My. He, like, sure sounds like, intelligent
hoax
Liars always get mad when you don’t believe their lies.
I like read it like three times and got like nothing out of it
Being “pissed off” is better than being “pissed on.” Okay, maybe not so in this case.
4 times.... I’m with you... Baffled...
.....he’s pissed off because most of the easily lead....don’t believe him either
He’s pissed because We Don’t Care Who He Is.
This moron being “angry” is an obvious tell.
Yeah, sure bra...
LOL he’s doing this because he knows the Chicago PD is about to call this what this is, a HOAX..so he’s doing a media sweep in case so he can go after the Chicago PD
Why didn’t he film them with his cell phone?
Puerile stream-of-unconsciousness.
Either Empire storyrunners let it known they were going to cut him, or he had a bad GHB date, or he's just out of his mind.
A lot of questions, why did he walk past the hotel security guard. If I had been attacked you can bet your rear the first police officer looking person would have been informed. The guys on the security camera were walking away from the area the supposed attack occured. I smell hoax.
The truth is the truth, and the truth is this looked like a hoax from the start.
