Poor Jussie. He’s broke. No one will hire him, and now the brothers he paid for the fake hate crime hoax are crushing what’s left of the former Empire Actor.

This might be the best two minutes of your life. Enjoy.

Daily Mail : The brothers paid by Empire actor Jussie Smollett to carry out a staged attack on him have broken their silence in a bombshell interview – set to air days after the Empire star sought to clear his name by appealing a guilty verdict arrived in 2021. 

Smollett paid Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo $3,500 to stage the January 2019 attack on the streets of Chicago as an apparent hate crime, in a shameless bid to coax sympathy from the public.

The plot came to light after the brothers, a pair of aspiring actors from Nigeria, confessed the mugging was a hoax after nearly two days in a Chicago lockup. 

Now speaking for the first time, they slammed Smollett as a ‘crazy fraudster’ who paid them for the ambush so he could be heralded as a ‘poster boy for activism.’  

They revealed they decided to take up Smollett’s bizarre offer to beat him up because they thought he would, in turn, help their career.

Speaking about how the actor consistently lied and tried to play innocent after the hoax, the brothers told Fox Nation: ‘Insane. That’s when I really saw a different side of Jussie. Like, dude, really? This is when I knew that this dude was like a super villain.’

The brothers revealed they met their then-friend Smollett an hour before carrying out the staged attack – and the actor later hung them out to dry when his web of lies began to unravel.

Both Osundairo brothers said they now feel ‘betrayed’ by the actor, who attempted to saddle them with the blame during subsequent hearings in court.

The pair slammed the Empire actor as a ‘crazy fraudster’ who ‘to this day, has not come out to say the truth’.

The Jussie Smollett case had become an infamous moment in recent history, when a once-adored actor’s desire for attention and fame led to the fabrication of a hate crime, ultimately causing severe consequences for himself and the broader community. In January 2019, Smollett claimed to have been the victim of a racially and homophobic motivated attack in Chicago. However, after a thorough investigation, authorities found that the incident was staged, and Smollett was subsequently charged with filing a false police report.

The Initial Incident

At the time of the alleged attack, Smollett was a famous actor on the television show “Empire.” He reported that two men assaulted him, poured bleach, placed a noose around his neck, and shouted racial and homophobic slurs. The news immediately gained widespread attention, with many expressing outrage and support for Smollett.

The Investigation and Trial

As the Chicago Police Department (CPD) delved deeper into the incident, inconsistencies began to surface in Smollett’s account. Surveillance footage and witness testimonies eventually led to the arrest of two brothers, who claimed that Smollett had paid them to stage the attack. In February 2019, Smollett was indicted on charges of disorderly conduct for filing a false police report.

Smollett maintained his innocence, and after a series of legal twists and turns, his case went to trial in late 2021. On December 9, 2021, a jury found him guilty on five of the six charges. In March 2022, Smollett was sentenced to 150 days in jail, 30 months of probation, and ordered to pay restitution and a fine.

The Impact on the Community

The Jussie Smollett case has had a far-reaching impact, particularly on the credibility of genuine hate crime victims. Hoaxes such as this can make it more difficult for real victims to come forward and be believed, as skepticism may grow with each false claim. This is especially concerning given the uptick in hate crimes in recent years.

Additionally, Smollett’s actions diverted valuable resources from the CPD, which could have addressed real crimes during their investigation. Moreover, the case further polarized an already divided nation, increasing tensions between marginalized communities and law enforcement.

Lmao, the Jussie Smollett hoax perpetrators doing a play by play of what happened is exactly what we needed in 2023. 😂

A Lesson for the Future

The Jussie Smollett hoax is a stark reminder that we must be vigilant when assessing claims of hate crimes. While supporting and standing up for victims is crucial, we must also ensure that we do not blindly accept every allegation without question. The Smollett saga teaches us the importance of thorough investigations and ensuring you vet the guys you paid to beat the shit out of you for attention.

Chapelle nailed it. Jussi Smulliet is the gift that keeps on giving.

Dave Chappelle destroys Jussie Smollett.
