Document dump: Foxx aide falsely blames CPD detectives for Smollett leak, calls cops "the worst"

https://www.cwbchicago.com/2019/04/d...ly-blames.html

It's always someone else's fault....the liberal motto....

Were you shocked when lightfoot dismissed smolletts case as "not something we'll be pursuing"??

I was sure that after Rahm got totally upset and genuinely angry there would be repercussions

So she said that she was going after him, and then changed her mind?

https://thegrapevine.theroot.com/chi...mol-1834046133

We need to move on so we can heal. There are much more important cases to go after

(although this didn't seem to be the case back when Jussie was actually telling his lies, those kids being murdered that they're suddenly concerned over weren't as important as finding the MAGA hat racist attackers)

chit is hitting the fan (more so) lol

Brothers implicated, then cleared, in attack sue Jussie Smollett's legal team for defamation

https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/23/us/ju...ion/index.html

The brothers accused of attacking actor Jussie Smollett, only to be cleared of the crime when prosecutors announced Smollett had orchestrated a hoax to advance his career, are suing his legal team for defamation, attorneys said Tuesday.

The federal lawsuit alleges defamation and false light by attorney Tina Glandian for saying, among other things, that brothers Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo attacked the "Empire" actor and dealt steroids, and that Abimbola engaged in sexual relations with the actor.

The lawsuit also names Mark Geragos, who heads the firm that employs Glandian. CNN is reaching out to the lawyers for response.
"In short, Mr. Smollett used his clout as a wealthy actor to influence Plaintiffs, who were in a subordinate relationship to him and were aspiring to 'make it' in Hollywood," the lawsuit says. "He wanted his employer and the public to notice and appreciate him as a successful Black, openly gay actor. So, Mr. Smollett directed every aspect of the attack, including the location and the noose."

Attorney Gloria Schmidt said the Osundairos, who were extras on "Empire," merely thought they were helping Smollett and were made scapegoats after Smollett's ruse was uncovered.
"They were asked to do something by a friend that they trusted, and at the end of the day that friend betrayed that trust," she told reporters.

The Osundairo brothers cooperated with authorities, testifying before a grand jury, before Smollett was charged with multiple felony counts alleging the actor duped the Chicago police into believing he had been the target of a hate crime.

Prosecutors later dropped the charges against Smollett, sparking an outcry. The lawsuit alleges that after the charges were dropped, Glandian continued to advance the narrative that Smollett had been attacked and defamed the brothers. Geragos, too, is accused of advancing that narrative and alleging the Osundairo brothers lied to police, the lawsuit says.

Rather than celebrating their client being cleared of wrongdoing, the lawsuit says, Geragos and Glandian "doubled down, not simply affirming that Mr. Smollett was a wholly innocent victim, but that (among other accusations) Plaintiffs unequivocally led a criminally homophobic, racist, and violent attack against Mr. Smollett. Defendants made these comments knowing they were untrue to distract from Mr. Smollett's farce."

The lawsuit continues, "Ms. Glandian insisted Mr. Smollett was innocent of making a false police report and falsely added that Plaintiffs criminally attacked Mr. Smollett. ... These statements were unnecessarily made on national media to advance Mr. Smollett's and Ms. Glandian's reputation and fame at high cost to Plaintiffs."

The brothers have faced difficulty obtaining jobs, attorney Greg Kulis said. Their health and training business has suffered as a result of the allegations they committed a hate crime and sold steroids, which they deny, and Abimbola Osundairo, who is straight, has suffered reputational damage among a Nigerian community that widely frowns on being gay, the brothers' legal team said. They've also been harassed by paparazzi and reporters, Schmidt said.

The lawsuit requests a jury trial, compensatory and punitive damages and attorneys' costs.
"People questioned what happened in Cook County," Kulis said, referring to the widespread demand for answers that erupted upon Smollett's charges being dropped. "The answers will be unveiled in federal court."

Top Chicago prosecutor Kim Foxx subpoenaed over Jussie Smollett case

A certain ****lian poster was banned during all of this. I wonder what his opinion is?

Who and why?

lol searched for this thread just to repost this smh lol

https://chicago.suntimes.com/?post_t...icle&p=2347908

This dipsh*t has sold his apartment and moved to Cali, now claiming it would cause him undue stress to have to return to Chicago to appear in court.

Also, not return to "Empire" for now...https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/30/enter...urn/index.html

he should define "undue"

dude needs to be rekt by the biggest penor of the law ...this whole situation is absurd and a mockery

From his legal team - "Smollett is not a factor in the hearing since all charges against him were dropped."The longer this goes on with him getting away with it, the worse it gets

Yeah court doesn’t work that way. He or a lawyer representing him will have to show to court.

"Empire" cancelled after this season.

wow

welp

thanks, Jussie

The whole situation is beyond a slap in the face to anyone who has ever had to deal with and or be subject to racial & homophobic attacks.

I wonder why.

didnt a bunch of the cast want him back on the show even after this all came to light? hard to feel bad for them, but definitely some collateral damage there

FYI, the story line is pretty much exhausted; it has little or *nothing* to do with this minor character. There just isn't much more to write about.

Thank's for chiming in Mr. 50/50.
