Jussie Smollet SMH

I would like to start off by welcoming myself to Blogger. It is an honor and a privilege to finally be on here. It has been hard for me emotionally to be secluded from you amazing kids so I am so glad to be part of the squad!

But anyways,
Jussie Smollet. If you do not know the story (you would have to be living under a rock...sorry if you did not know the story and I just roasted you), Jussie Smollet, actor on the show Empire, expressed a couple of weeks ago that he was the victim of a hate crime.Two men, who I believe he initially said were white and wearing MAGA hats, tied a nose around his neck and called him a n****r and a f*g. I am not sure about everything that he said occurred, but marks were evident around his neck and on other parts of his body. Media and especially celebrities took to social media to support the traumatized actor, expressing their disgust toward the actions of these two "white, MAGA hat wearing, racist boys."

Fast forward to this week, incriminating evidence CAME OUT THE CUT tying Jussie Smollet to his own attack. The two "hateful, MAGA hat wearing white boys," ending up actually being Nigerian brothers (grown men), who supposedly worked on the set of Empire with Jussie. Suspicious?? Yeah maybe a tad bit. Then when they were investigated, they spilled the tea, claiming that Jussie paid them to stage this hate crime. Later, tapes were discovered of the two (brolic = super buff ) brothers buying ski masks and red hats the night of the attack. Just today, Jussie got charged with a felony for basically lying out his buttcrack.

I'm not gonna lie, when I heard that this was staged I was not entirely surprised, but I was incredibly disappointed and confused. First and foremost, it is still Black History Month, he could have kept this idiocy out of this celebratory month of black excellence. Secondly, there are people who were victims of actual hate crimes, and this is almost like mockery of their legitimate pain and trauma. I do not understand what was going through his head, or what obviously was not (brain cells) to be able to stage his own attack. Think about it, this man planned to have someone tie a ROPE around his neck. Lynching and hangings are things that black people (his ancestors) actually went through and to think that he could self inflict this, completely neglecting the scars of those before him, is sad to me.

I do not know if this was a quest for more media attention and fame. I do not know if he is actually mentally ill. I do not know what his reasoning or justification could possibly be for this, but I know that this was pathetic. As a black person I have permission to say, Jussie you are officially CANCELLED.


JUST IN: it is alleged that he did this because he was dissatisfied with his salary on Empire. LMAO WHAT...GOODBYE.
