May 26, 2022 / Posted by:

If my name and career had been dragged through the mud due to my messy actions, I would immediately lay low for a second. Jussie Smollett, unfortunately, did not get this memo. He still wants the fame he thinks he deserves, so in an attempt to continue quenching his undying thirst for fame he has teamed up with Mona Scott-Young to release the long-awaited screen version of the iconic book B-Boy Blues by James Earl Hardy on BET+.

The Lawsuits Are Flying In The Jussie Smollett Saga

March 19, 2022 / Posted by:

Even though Jussie Smollett was convicted of telling lies to the police about getting attacked in a hate crime and was sentenced to 150 days in Cook County Jail, this saga, which started in January 2019, is not over. Last week, a judge let Jussie, who still claims he’s innocent, out of the clink while his lawyers work on his appeal. And yesterday, one of Jussie’s lawyers Mark Geragos hit Abimbola (aka Abel) and Olabinjo (aka Ola) Osundairo with a malicious prosecution lawsuit for falsely accusing him of making shit up about their involvement in the stunt-gone-wrong. The Osundairos are the bodybuilding brothers who say they were paid $3,500 by Jussie to fake attack him.

On top of that, a federal judge in Chicago also ruled yesterday that the Osundairos’ defamation lawsuit against another one of Jussie’s lawyers, Tina Glandian, can continue. The brothers sued Tina for saying that they possibly wore “whiteface” while attacking Jussie. So basically, everyone is suing everyone!

Jussie Smollett Has Been Released From Jail While His Lawyers Prepare To Appeal His Conviction

March 17, 2022 / Posted by:

Last week, Jussie Smollett was sentenced to 150 days in jail and 30 months felony probation for lying to police about being attacked in a hate crime. As it turns out, that sentence was about as accurate as the details of that alleged hate crime Jussie cooked up. Because after one week, Jussie is out of jail. But it might be temporary. Jussie is only out of jail after a judge granted his legal team an emergency motion to keep Jussie out of jail until a decision regarding an appeal is made.

Last week Jussie Smollett was sentenced to 150 days in prison and 30 months of probation after being found guilty of lying to the police about being attacked in a 2019 hate crime. He was also ordered to pay a $25,000 fine and $120,106 in restitution. Whew. As Jussie was being led out of the courtroom, he raised his fist and yelled, “I am not suicidal, I am innocent!” and his sister, actress Jurnee Smollett, yelled, “Stop locking up our Black men!” Over the weekend Jurnee doubled down on Instagram, sharing an image with the hashtag #FreeJussie, and writing that while her brother is innocent, “you shouldn’t have to believe in his innocence to believe he should be free.” Actors Indya Moore (Pose) and Kendrick Sampson (Nathan from Insecure), and Jussie’s Empire co-star Taraji P. Henson also posted #FreeJussie content. In her caption on Instagram, Taraji compared Jussie’s case with the 1955 murder of Emmett Till. Continue reading

Our long national nightmare is over! Well, it was more like a long national fever dream involving greased-up twin bodybuilders and a laughably unbelievable serial killer style ransom type note complete with a childish crying stick figure with a noose around its neck. We didn’t even have COVID dreams this wild! Today, Jussie Smollett was sentenced for lying to the cops about being attacked in a hate crime in 2019. Jussie was facing up to 3 years in the clink, but Cook County Judge James Linn decided on 150 days in the clink instead.

December 9, 2021 / Posted by:

It’s been the season of high-profile trials thanks to the trials of Elizabeth Holmes, Josh Duggar, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Jussie Smollett. While there’s a possibility that Ghislaine won’t even get a slap on the wrist, Josh Duggar was found guilty today of being a disgusting pedophile. The verdict in Jussie Smollett’s case just came in today too. And well, the jury didn’t buy what he was selling (that he was the victim of a hate crime), because they found him guilty of five out of six disorderly conduct charges for lying to police. Jussie is facing up to 3 years in the clink and a $25,000 fine. This is probably now the Mona Lisa of PR Stunts Gone Wrong.
