The news about Jussie being attacked by two men was reported on January 2019. However, some disturbing hints has been revealed due to continuous police investigation.
According to Chicago Police, the Empire star rehearsed his own attack with the two brothers, the police claimed that Jussie paid the two men that are brothers to plan the attack. Chicago police said they have evidence that Jussie planned his own attack.
The two brothers that are Nigerians Abel and Ola Osundairo were released by the police on Friday, Feb. 15, though, they are still cooperating with the cops.
Cops discovered that the rope that was put around the actor's neck was purchased during the attack. The two brothers are said to have played extras on Empire for the past few years, so they are not strangers to Jussie.
"It feels like if I had said it was a Muslim or a Mexican or someone black, I feel like the doubters would have supported me a lot much more", Jussie said this on Good Morning America during an interview.
Jussie's attorneys also released a statement to claim that he didn't rehearse the incidents.
The statement read, " As a victim of hate crime who has cooperated with the police, Smollett is devastated by reports that the perpetrators are persons he is familiar with, he has now been victimized by claims attributed to these alleged perpetrators that he played a role in his own attack. It is obvious that the claim is not true and anyone insisting on the claim is lying".
The brothers told the police they didn't understand how Jussie suffered injuries but the planned attack was not programmed to hurt him.
