Jussie Smollett allegedly rehearsed, paid friends for attack.
Jussie Smollett said he was attacked by racist, homophobic Trump supporters but sources allege the attack was staged by two friends.
Jussie Smollett allegedly promised to pay two friends $4000 ($A5600) to stage his racist and homophobic assault — which the trio even rehearsed beforehand, according to a new report.
According to the New York Post, the embattled Empire star paid $3500 ($A4900) to bodybuilding brothers Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo before they left for Nigeria the day of the Jan. 29 attack, and promised another $500 ($A700) upon their return to the US, sources told CBS Chicago.
Smollett, 36, also allegedly paid for the rope, which was purchased from the Crafty Beaver Hardware Store in the Ravenswood neighbourhood the weekend of Jan. 25.
Sources said one of the brothers held the rope and poured bleach on Smollett during the 2am attack, while the other donned a red hat and shouted racist and homophobic slurs at him.
The red hat was bought at an Uptown beauty supply store.
Smollett has claimed his two attackers called him a “f****t,” “n****r” and yelled “This is MAGA country!” before throwing a noose around his neck and dousing him in an unknown “chemical substance.”
As for the celebrities who loathe and fear conservatives, there’s nothing particularly new there. However, for politicians, this is inexcusable. They used a mere allegation to make a political point about an America they believe to be sick to the core — so long, that is, as the Democrats are out of power.
Now that it’s looking more and more like there’s a possibility Smollett orchestrated the attack, there’s absolute radio silence. But the tune never changes. The other side isn’t just bigoted, it’s capable of the most unthinkable forms of violence and hatred. The left’s outrage over Smollett may have morphed into silent embarrassment, but conservaphobia will continue unabated.
take the covington story for instance... they totally lied about it although there was video evidence ... they tried to make people believe something that wasn't real... and people swallowed it..
