Chicago Prosecutors Drop All Charges Against Jussie Smollett

Charges against Jussie Smollett were dropped Tuesday. Smollett, 36, told reporters that this time has been "the worst of my entire life" and that he has been "truthful and consistent" throughout the investigation. "I would not bring my family ... through a fire like this," he said. Police had said the "Empire" actor filed a false police report when he claimed he was attacked by two men who yelled racial and homophobic slurs at him before putting a noose around his neck in Chicago on Jan. 29. #InsideEdition

I wonder how much he paid to bribe them

[kxlclft]

It’s okay, his PUBLIC career is over.

16 counts of charges and all of a sudden, case is dropped? Not the smartest man on YouTube but it seems like a lot of people were going to be dragged into this therefore, it was swept under the rug.

[clytxo]

not surprised, the justice system is a joke

[DeodorantSniffer]

So now what? Just forget someone “famous” tried to fake a hate crime to get publicity?

[duckly]

He probably bribed them to drop the charges

[ricardo]

This is a slap to the face of all Americans and Americans who have actually have been in situations like this

[Cofreshh]

Karma homie, you ain't done with this God knows

[danieloconnell]

This is terrible. That man tried to disgrace the title of a Trump Supporter and tried to create another problem for this country to deal with. Why can't people grow up.

[sadiemay]

I wonder how many $3, 500 checks he had to write to get the charges dropped.

[juanesquivel]

That's what Empire has taught him all time racial profiling and lies

[itdoesntmatterwhoweare]

It would be different if they tried him and found him innocent... But they dropped the charges AND sealed the case. And no explanation as to why they're sealing the case. That is their way of saying they have no obligation to the public regarding this very high profile case.

LOL at those women cheering on The Talk, and then ladies wonder why they will never be taken seriously

[SquareJoker]

When he got arrested
People: he should go to jail
News: smollett has dropped charges against him and he’s out of jail
Also people: we want justice 🤦🏽‍♂️

[vlixxyr]

Well i guess money can solve your problems

[chase.b]

It is so obvious that someone got paid off

[furbiscuits]

Imagine if he was a straight, white male

[AmberLovesMystery]

What in the twilight zone type of world is this 👀

[patrickdesantis]

Unbelievable. What a sham! Who’s the judge who dropped the charges?!

[SeeeEmilyyPlayy]

That footage of him with his possie really annoys me
