What is there to consider? Whether or not to keep paying a con man who just embarrassed their entire show, himself, and nearly caused a race riot?

legally he has not been convicted. Only charged. They have to tread carefully because of lawyers.

And the search is on for another gay black actor.

Hell, Jussie is such a con artist, he may not even really be gay...

...wihtout (sic) the actor who plays the openly gay Jamal Lyon on the Fox show.

How is it acting when an out-of-the-closet fag plays an out-of-the-closet fag?

Eh. Film some Empire scenes with Smollett in jail. It probably fits right in with the storyline.

Why is Fox taking so long to ditch him? A white actor would have been fired at the first sign of touble.

As much as the left hated bush, they didn’t engage in fake hate crimes back then. Trump really pushes their buttons, and I love him for that. Once he got elected, it was a sure thing he would get reelected because of left-wingers losing their minds and acting out in this way.

Fox entertainment network and ‘Empire’ producers are parsing their words but at this point, I can’t see them keeping him on the show when even many blacks have distanced themselves from him, making Smollett toxic and likely unemployable,even in leftist Hollywood.

Many blacks value their victim status and this clown abused that by clumsily faking a physical assault and attributing it to his “strong opposition to 45” (President Trump). For a black man, you know you’re in trouble when Al Sharpton turns on you.

The attempt to smear Trump with a concocted race-based assault story was stupid and deserves to land Smollett in prison, which is a remote possibility but still possible.

Even if he walks free, his reputation is badly damaged and his career is likely ruined. He’ll get little sympathy here or anywhere else.

They will opt to do an Empire Episode advertised as “ripped from the Headlines” where a poor Rap Star is attacked by two Nigerian White Supremacists who are in to Classic Rock.

If he was white, he would have been fired by now. Plus, there would be endless numbers of editorials lecturing everyone on the evil of white racism.

So that guy makes $100,000 and episode and that wasn’t enough. Well he can say goodbye to that money and say hello to bankruptcy when he has to pay all the legal fees and such.

Greed, Greed, and More Greed, it will do you in everytime.
