JUSSIE SMOLLETT Hoax May Have Been Concocted AFTER ATTACK ON LEE DANIELS' GAY COUSIN
TMZ ^ | February 24, 2019

Jussie Smollett might have gotten the idea to stage his own attack after Lee Daniels talked about his cousin getting assaulted because he's gay ... at least that's what some members of the "Empire" cast think.

Sources close to the "Empire" production tell TMZ ... some cast members think Jussie's gears started grinding in his head days after Lee posted a video on Instagram on January 10 calling out homophobia. In that same post, the "Empire" creator captioned it, "This past week my cousin was beat up for being gay and I am sick of hearing these stories."

Our sources say Lee then showed up to the set and shared more about the story. Everyone was visibly upset that Lee's family had gone through this horrific ordeal. The sources now say this might have been where Jussie got the idea to take matters into his own hands ... and become an LGBT hero.

Note the objection (dismissed) about Kamala Harris was that she actually prosecuted some black people. As attorney general. The left is a cesspool of despicable crazies.

It’s irrelevant if Jussie colluded with others?

There’s a pic out there of Lee Daniels and one of the Osundairo brothers.

People get beaten or killed for a lot of things in places outside the majority culture. Why wouldn’t being a geek, a nerd, a dweeb or a homosexual be one reason?

It could be but it isn’t the ONLY reason as the media would have us to believe.

Lee Daniels is gay himself. The show's co-creator, Danny Strong surprisingly isn't, or so we're told. If anybody associated with the show would have gotten beaten up I would have thought it would have been Danny, who usually played the weaselly, annoying guy on shows like Buffy, Gilmore Girls and Mad Men

Makes one wonder why the CPD shut down the hoax so quickly, and gave such a detailed presser.

Lee Daniels, Olabinjo “Ola” Osundairo

Wouldn’t surprise me if the attack on the cousin was a fabrication also. Would explain the inspiration to hoax.

It's an alien creature wearing a tiara, with an umbrella, which has just alighted from a five-storied UFO...bringing a message to mankind:

Believe nothing you read, nothing you hear and nothing you see.
