Actor Jussie Smollett’s Criminal Trial to Begin After Years of Delay
Jussie is being damaged beyond repair by these tantrums from family and friends. They just don't learn. Had Jussie fessed up and apologized right away, this would already be over and he'd still be employable. As of now, his acting career is over. He will always be a punchline, but one others deliver.

I looked it up. All his siblings have these stupid names: Jake, Jocqui, Jojo, Jurnee, and Jazz.

Then, there are the cousins: Juji, Jambi, Jithrow, Jabba, Jumjuk, Jugon, Jodrif, Jylee, and Dave.

"Dave"? WTF?

Other than Dave, how do they name these kids? By Ouija board? Boggle?

French actor should take his ass back to France and focus on his photography.


Wonder if they appreciate his beautiful singing voice down there on California street. I bet he already cried today. Big Grin

In case it's not apparent, I made up all the cousin names. I figured "Jabba" would be a dead giveaway.

It was eminently believable given some of the names I’ve seen and heard…

So, if he loses the appeal, he goes back in? Will his time out of jail count towards his sentence? Could this impact his getting out in 75 days vs 150?

Can’t imagine the Judge is happy with this.

Jussie Smollett was ordered released from jail Wednesday by an appeals court that agreed with his lawyers that he should be released pending the appeal of his conviction for lying to police about a racist and homophobic attack.

The ruling came after a Cook County judge sentenced Smollett last week to immediately begin serving 150 days in jail for his conviction on five felony counts of disorderly conduct for lying to police.

The appeals court, in a 2-1 decision, said Smollett could be released after posting a personal recognizance bond of $150,000, meaning he doesn’t have to put down money but agrees to come to court as required. It was unclear late Wednesday how soon he may be released.

In an outburst immediately after the sentence was handed down, the former star of the TV show “Empire” proclaimed his innocence and said “I am not suicidal. And if anything happens to me when I go in there, I did not do it to myself. And you must all know that.”

Smollett’s attorneys had argued that he would have completed the sentence by the time the appeal process was completed and that Smollett could be in danger of physical harm if he remained locked up in Cook County Jail.



The court’s decision marks the latest chapter in a strange story that began in January 2019 when Smollett, who is Black and gay, reported to Chicago police that he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack by two men wearing ski masks. The manhunt for the attackers soon turned into an investigation of Smollett himself and his arrest on charges that he’d orchestrated the attack and lied to police about it.

The investigation revealed Smollett paid two men he knew from work on the TV show “Empire” to stage the attack.

A jury convicted Smollett in December on five felony counts of disorderly conduct – the charge filed when a person lies to police. He was acquitted on a sixth count. Judge James Linn sentenced Smollett last week to 150 days in jail, but with good behavior, he can be released in as little as 75 days.

I would be more shocked if we were not in the situation we are in now,as a country. Craziness is the new norm.
