    • If you go to jussie smollett instagram under his second to last pic he posted it says do you ever just look at someone and think… this mufucca is going to be the reason I go to jail what if he was talking about the person who put him up to this

  1. He really helped ruin black history month, even tho the story was more entertaining than the show.

    • +Chuck Anya
      There’s videos of unarmed black people being shot, beat and choked to death by white cops, and those incidents never incited a race war

    • +DoingIt2Death Because we knew who did it ,so the cops had to go through due process of the law,but with Jussie ,we didn’t no who did it until the investigation was finalized.And by the way ,2 wrongs don’t make a right .As a black man ,I’m extremely embarrassed.He let us down due to greed.

    • +Chuck Anya
      Reassigned to desk duty while there’s an ‘investigation’ is due process?? Stop it. Had Jussie been successful with this plot, there wouldn’t have been a race war.

    • +Chuck Anya
      How come there was never a race war when those cops (even with video evidence) were cleared of all wrong doings? πŸ€”

  2. Messy Smolett smh. He maintains his innocence. He needs a psych eval expeditiously I don’t understand any of this.

  3. Meanwhile my subways close at *9pm* 😒😒😒😒😒😒😒

    • That’s crazy ain’t it? His hatred of white Trump supporters and Trump himself is what brought him down. TDS is real folks. LMAO

    • +Even Shiper homeboy ain’t ruined a dam thang for me. I’m good 2 the fullest..I talking about this knuckle head brotha man!!!!!!!πŸ˜‰

  4. I tried to go back and watch his interview and I couldn’t get through it. After that it ain’t no way people are going to trust him again.

  5. He sold out the black and gay community now he’s gonna try using the same communities to perpetuate his lies

    • Compared to Hollywood, no! The cast of Friends got 100k/episode and that was back in the late 90’s.

    • Well that’s not a lot, but there’s better ways to get a raise. Just as an example, 3 cast members of The Big Bang Theory make per episode what Jussie made in a year. I mean yes it’s the number one show, but it isn’t a great amount of money by those standards.

  6. Jussie is going to lie all the way to the end and if he loses then hes going to say hes depressed and has mental issues.πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

  7. I am black and not a Trump supporter at all. Roseanne Barr did a lot less than this 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

    • B Sa Rosanne didn’t get arrested.
      He’s gotten arrested, and will lose his job. Which is worse?!

    • Mee too…..I have nothing against gay people but it makes me sick to my stomach to see 2 men kissing and so on …had to stop watching love and hip hop for the same reason …..

  8. sending a letter with white powder to a studio, should be considered terrorism!

  9. Hope justice is served. That POS is doneπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚….just shows are crazy libtards are.
