Anonymous Claims That Jussie Smollett Staged Hate Crime Shift Investigation

Anonymous sources claim gay Empire actor Jussie Smollett staged his own hate crime, reportedly shifting the trajectory of the investigation by Chicago police.

Brothers Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo were arrested last week because of “probable cause that they may have been involved in an alleged crime.” Both men reportedly have a relationship with Smollett, as they both worked on Empire in some capacity.

Until Friday (Febrary 15), the brothers were treated as “persons of interest,” but by that afternoon, they had been released and police said new evidence “shifted the trajectory of the investigation,” reported Vox.

This evidence may be a number of unnamed sources claiming to multiple news outlets that Smollett was somehow involved.

Two anonymous sources with “intimate knowledge of the investigation” told ABC7 that police were investigating whether the attack was staged because Smollett was allegedly being written off Empire. Police spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi tweeted on Thursday (February 14) that reports of a hoax were unconfirmed by detectives.

However, national outlets started to back up local reports since Thursday. An unnamed source told CBS News that the two brothers told police they were paid off by Smollett. CBS News later reported that anonymous sources said Smollett was upset he didn’t get a “bigger reaction” from a threatening and racist letter allegedly sent to him, so he staged the attack.

Smollett told Robin Roberts of Good Morning America that was he “pissed off” people were doubting his story.

Police have reportedly stopped referring to Smollett as a suspect and instead as “the individual who reported the incident.”

These hoax speculations have resulted in some backlash from the public. According to TMZ, conservative street artist Sabo put up at least two posters in Los Angeles depicting Smollett in racist parody posters of BlacKKKlansman and Black Panther.

The Black Panther parody reads “Black Prankster” and “For your consideration – best fictional story,” while the BlacKKKlansman one shows Smollett in a Make American Great Again hat and the phrase, “For your consideration – Jussie Smollett for Best Actor in a Drama.”

Conservative CNN commentator S.E. Cupp criticized Trump supporters’ “giddiness” at the potential of the attack being a hoax.

Smollett’s defense attorneys Todd S. Pugh and Victor P. Henderson released a statement saying Smollett is being “further victimized by claims… that Jussie played a role in his own attack.”

“Nothing is further from the truth,” the statement continued, “and anyone claiming otherwise is lying.”
