Jussie Smollett Arrested For Allegedly Making Up Chicago Attack | TODAY
There is NO RECOVERY from this. He took the blessings of Fame and Fortune that millions want and desire but he abused it like some sick game. Such a disappointing human being
Wesarizona21 peace and love are the true blessings fame and fortune is just a fixation on materialism and vanity. Good luck in life mate.
@@woiowoiow190 true
WoioW oioW I’m talking about the blessings that come from being famous. Security, wealth, and people that love ur craft
@Wesarizona21, according to some of the stuff I've read online, apparently this isn't the worst act he's done as a human being. I read that a few years back, he got pulled over for DUI, and he pretended to be his brother. That's terrible!
I agree with you. Not only did he achieve fame and fortune with his twisted way of thinking and that twisted thinking has cost him his career. I know I would not consider hiring him.
I didn’t believe him from the start .
I still believe him. There is no way those tears came from nowhere. This is another case of a black person being victimized by the system for no reason whatsoever.
@@TonyVega123 Trolling?
*in reply to tony, not OP*
ZetaChat Good for you girl, me neither
Tony Vega man GTFOH with that nonsense Jussie is a liar the man has very powerful friends. People like Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Cory Booker, Don Lemon , Kamala Harris , Barack and Michelle Obama do you really think those rich powerful people would allow some low level Chicago police officers to set up their friend.
Such a unnecessary, shameful and stupid thing to do.
Also embarrassing........smh
traveller not to mention hateful. He hates anyone who supports this President of the United States.
Comic Gold! I knew he was lying, I could Smollett a mile away! 😂😂😂😂😂
Chris Ramsey This is comedy gold 😂😂😂
Nice pun... Now leave Jussie alone!!!!! czcams.com/video/DieV-MMpHvE/video.html
Lmao
😭😭 yooooo
@@crossandcrack777 why
Guess all the Hollywood people had it wrong..very sad story. Feel sorry for all the work Chicago Police Department and FBI had to go through.
Hollywood stars believe they can do anything even get away with murder.
@Gooey 911 Oh they did a great job because most cops and judges let Hollywood star get away with murder for a autograph.
Carol Benson me to just think probably a child killer is free police time is very important not to be wasted
J.F.K
Carol Benson Everyone was duped. I believed him until his interview with Robyn on GMA
A true pile of crap. I hope they throw the book at him.
What a waste of a good book
Kenneth Crowe 😂😂😂
denis77777777 Same goes for the true pile of crap in the White House.
Michelle Wickstrom you are so right
Michelle Wickstrom
I didn't know your mom is in the White House.
How come he is not charged with a hate crime. He’s getting a free pass on that one
Yup
What hate crime did he commit?
Hannah Wyatt are u stupid???? Nvm liberal moron!
Sure his legal team to,d him to say it was for his career so he doesn’t get charged for a racist hate crime= inciting violence. He should be charged. His Twitter, talk shows, his politics have been pure hate for whites, Fox News, and trump. Can’t prosecutors use those in court???
Cuz he did not commit a hate crime, it was a hoax.
Lmfao this dude is a terrible person 😂😂😂😂😂
Bubba will fix him right up 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Where does the real hatred and division come from in this country? Wake up people!
Wolverine Shooting Sports the ppl marching in the streets saying “Jews will not replace us” and “blood and soil”. He is a small issue compared to the hundreds of those ppl.
400+years of slavery, politics, money, police, culture, even down to what kind of food we eat, sports we watch and play. There is no real end or beginning to it buts its there in some shape or form another and it doesn't seem to be getting any better it just changes.
The real hatred comes from the people who continue to blame their problems because of another person's skin color.
Wolverine Shooting Sports I think you need to wake up and realize where it comes from. SLAVERY DUM DUM
Hollywood!!!
I knew something was weird about that whole thing two dudes come out of nowhere and assault you. How'd they know where you were at???
At 2am.............
@@Littlething41 Wearing a "Make America Great Again" shirt? They may idiots supporting Trump but I don't think their racist.
And just happened to have a noose?
@Nothing Burger First off I'm a black man so shut your mouth.
@Heather Anderson You must be talking about a different Trump.
I just don’t get why. He had a good job. He did as good in the show Empire. He should have asked for more money since he was a main character.
Right ?! Its just weird like why tho
His hatred of white people is stronger than his love of a career
Lauren C Why? he has trump derangment syndrome and is a complete moron who thinks this country is SOOO RACIST because of trump.
YEP
Lauren C he’s a deep state pawn. Used as an operative.
Great to see the media used “allegedly” when he lied! But when they started reporting on this that word never made their headlines. Sad!
Sorry, but you need to think before you type. The word allegedly is ALWAYS used until someone is convicted. This is the US - innocent until proven guilty. It's sad that you don't understand that.
Gonna make myself a pot of coffee and listen to the reactions from this story on Fox News
Well in that case i hope its maxwell house...because smollett's story is good to the last drop..so sweet in fact it landed him behind bars...so yes a cup of coffee will be great 👍
😂
I'll enjoy some hot cocoa that is enriched with milk
I reeeeeeally hope he does time in prison for this
n40798
I hope he kept the noose! He may need it now. Lmao
He is since three years
The MAGA aspect of this is very concerning. He essentially labeled anyone that wears that as approving of racism
@Jay Rock - and speaking of things that have absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand..................................
I TOLD U, I KNEW HE WAS A FRAUD
There is no ACTUAL proof that he is lying.... just that y’all want him to be so you’re finding every reason to believe that he is. He is innocent until proven guilty
JADA TANAE sis lol wake up the evidence it’s there let u rather play dumb
I wonder what else he's done. Let's hope he didn't force himself on any of the male extras on Empire.
Wait til the MAUL FRAUD charges come when it comes out he sent that hate letter to himself the weeks before!
Jussie needs to be charged with a hate crime too
He will not win an oscar for this.....😟
LOL
@Goliath Online
Nose longer than a telephone wire
Justice for Juicy 🤣🤣🤣
It’s something that his best performance is illegal.
so true
I feel America becoming great already.
2018: *BLACK PANTHER*
2019: *BLACK PRANKSTER*
2020: *BLACK PRISONER*
thumbs up if you came hear because of Dave Chappelle. # justiceforjuicy
I met Smollett once. I was struck by what a child-like simpleton he was. He comes off as vain and superficial. You get the sense that Jussie is not fully an adult. Amd what kind of a stupid name is Jussie anyways?
lmao
He was trying to frame people “that aren’t like him” for crimes they didn’t commit.
Pathetic
I was suspicious when this story came out but I didn't think he would totally make it up
He could have. But the manager ought to be scrutinized. And those two guys came back from Nigeria after they saw that people were shading smollett. They had plenty of time to come you with their lying story and to try to extort him in exchange for their silence. Which is exactly what they did. They also sued his lawyers, claiming reputation damage, idiotically since their reputation is in the mud due to their own choices. It is easy to say smollett masterminded this and flip the script. Very common among criminals. There is no clear evidence to prove who is lying. Wondering if there was a third person who is white. It makes him look guilty.
When you have money nothing happens... He should be in jail
Every single celebrity in Hollywood believed him 😂
Moral of the story don’t believe everything you hear/see.
He really managed to hire the guys with the perfect looks for the job
This fella represents everything the Democrats are today!
Remember the story of the boy who cried wolf? It didn't have a nice ending.
YEP
He's young and could have a bright career ahead as an actor making lots of money. One mistake, a lifetime of regret.
His interview videos will haunt him forever.
WTF people thinking and doing these days ???
Lesson learn: Lying is not as easy as you thought.
People V/s the Media And Hollywood
I’m boycotting this show for the outlandish accusation, cannot and won’t support this kind of behavior, unacceptable!
This is a good example as to why this country is unable to move forward as a society. It's absolutely bone-chilling to know that someone with a sane mind had the audacity to pull off such a heinous act.
You didn't say "sane mind" did you? LOL
I feel sorry for the guy. He has mental problems. The hoax had the planning of an infant.
u cracking me up
There is no “allegedly”, he did full stop.
Why is he still walking the streets? Get him off the streets immediately
A good actor could have pulled that off. . Had Denzel done It not only would have pulled it off. He would have won an Oscar for it!
2:35 Here's another look at that mugshot 😂
He needs the get the maximum prison available. Faking a hate crime is the worst
Juicey Smooyay
THANKFULLY! This act endangered everyone.
yep
Now, if a Black guy buys a ski mask...
"Call 911!! Call 911!!"
"And I am not weak"... lol...
He still has a job. WOW I wonder what Roseanne Barr thinks about that.
Why did he do this? Because of Empire? He can sing and have a lot of fans. I'm pretty sure someone else would work with him. He was on an episode of The Underground, so I'm guessing other producers would've liked to work with him. I'm only speaking on the Empire situation because it's rumored he was being written off.
Hopefully he'll be made to pay restitution for a lot of police work and some jail time. His career is basically over. If he's found guilty, he'll seriously need to be put on suicide watch.
He should get 20 years.
Send him to a woman's prison!!!👮👮👮
LMAO
If he can fake an attack, then why can’t Zendaya be charged with false accusation after that Vons gift card “issue”?
He must feel like such a Dummy right now 😂😂
ONLY ONE FELONY CHARGE! AND NOT EVEN A HATE CRIME CHARGE? CRAZY!
But but but Black Lives Matter! Lmfao
YES they do! And so do White lives......all lives but ignorant individuals are ignorant individuals who don't represent a group. Let him be ignorant and don't put down a group like he tried to.
Joesay Canseco I LOVE that he got busted during black history month. He really did make history and it’s no different than the rest of their history hahahahaha
Forward Flower why be racist though?
They do... that’s why the brother’s saved their black lives by telling on him.
@@214dude2 Racism has been put out like this for over 100 years... Fear is how we are controled. Order out of chaos & designed Division is to distract slaves to figuring out we are slaves in a controlled system...all of us.
This is just really sad that he felt he needed to stage such a crime. I feel sad and embarrassed for him.
the massive hunger for recognition is just overwhelming, good he is going to jail.
His legal team tells him to say it was for his career. Now another lie, we all know this was political and racist. He has been very passionate and vocal on talk shows, and in his tweets and in politics on anti trump, anti white, social justice , and anti fox...saying fox is racists. This was not for his career and sure his legal team told him what to say. Just pure hate on his part.
Tonight on "To Catch a POS actor" Hi my name is Chris Hansen, why don't you have a seat right over there Mr Smollett, care to explain that noose around your neck? Lmfao.
but why did he staged the whole thing in the first place ?
I can't get over that. Those Nigerian brothers went into the store TOGETHER and bought hats, masks, gloves and other supplies...😑
I didn't know that Subway sandwich is open at 2 am in the morning....
Oh what a tangled web we weave ...
Typical !
Justice for juicy!
Calling him a pos would be a an insult to a pos.
What happened to his case?
Blacks. Keeping racism alive since the 60s.
Because why have accountability?
Theres still alot of white people who are racist you know.
guitarplayer203 Every race is racist. I’m just saying Blacks are keeping it going. They use it like a crutch.
Narcissism.
There's enough hate in the world. We don't need to make it up.
That’s literally sick
Defenetely a hate crime and needs to be prosecuted. Excellent job Chicago Police! He needs to pay for all the time you guys spent on all the investigation.
How embarrassing
All the celebrities and politicians still haven't apologized for running with the story
Now the media and his legal defense will suggest that the brothers were paid off to flip the case on him and make him out to be the criminal.
Juicy smolyeeyyy😂
That "bruh, c'mon" mugshot. 😌
I guess he wrote his self out of the script quicker than the show it's self
My response to Smollett:
ARE YOU DUMB-DADUM-DUM DUM DA-DUM DUM DUM
I still can't believe this is the same guy who plays in empire
When HE was telling his lies, they were RACIST!!!!!! Now that he's been caught, it's "disorderly"!! Lets see the DA treat HIM, like he would treat a WHITE MAN WHO DID THE SAME!!!!!
I dont understand why did he do this. this dumb had a lot of money and fame and threw it all away just for nothing
A real awful person
This is the weirdest thing I've come across. Why would you fake something like that?
Subway? Sandwiches?!
Why would he do something dumb like that???
Hmmm. I wonder too
Feels good man.
He really wanted to further divide us, but he brought us all together so we can laugh at this tom foolery🤦🏼♀️
Word of advice for Smollet: You can only act in the movies! Not in real life. It never usually works.
In custody?? This is a crazy world.
I never understood this story when it came out. So sad.
what kind of evil twisted mind would try to pull this off, and all the while claiming that he's the victim, despicable human being
Filing a false police report? Wow, he really threw himself under the bus.
19 degrees below zero but he was hungry. LMFAO
NOONE is condoning what he did as right--If indeed he did what he is accused of!
But out of all the tens of thousands of FALSE POLICE reports that police, themselves file EACH year...??
To single out ONE guy out of millions, even before his trial... IS HANEOUS.
He ccould of started a race riot.as if theres not enough problems.this dangerous man should be locked up.its not like it was his first time doing this.....
What a wasted tax $$$ --Shame in you
What a stupid thing to do.
Guilty on all counts & his punishment doesn't include incarceration ..He cost people lots of money & trouble & put many Americans in harms way with his little stunt ..this clown is the perfect example of what privilege looks like !
He's An Actor🎬🎥📺 duh!.smh...u can't take him serious.. that's what deception is an "act" of something that's not really real👺He needs Jesus fr
Why did the police look into this story so hard? Is it because he’s a celebrity? Normally they dont even care
