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.

Being “pissed off” is better than being “pissed on.” Okay, maybe not so in this case.

This *a* is out of his mind.

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.
