JUSSIE Smollett told officers he has a drug problem as they arrested him for allegedly staging a "racist and homophobic" street attack to boost his career, according to US reports.

Cops later said the Empire star had bought ecstasy from one of the brothers said to have helped him in the elaborate hoax.

Yeah, cause after rehab.... he'll be all better.  Cured of being a bigot, a liar, a racist (anti-whitey), a dumbazz (wrote a check, used the US mail) and a scumbag.  It'll be (another) miracle!!!

He probably figured... considering the current climate of leftie idiocy against Trump and supporters... that he could get away with it.  All he ended up doing is vindicating MAGA hat wearing Trump supporters and pissing off 'real' victims of supposed hate crimes.   Considering that... the meme being circulated is that America is so great (again) now that a poor black gay guy has to orchestrate his own fake lynching. 

I think the main upside to this is.... it got a LOT of coverage and now most Americans know what a liar (criminally so) some of these idiots on the left are.

Before this happened, I had never heard of him and I bet that is true of a lot of people.  The first impression that many will have of him is that he is a racist liar who was willing to let innocent people go to jail over something that never happened.  This stunt made him much more well known, but not the way he wanted it to.

He definitely got his 15 minutes of fame and then some.  I love how the idiot left all has egg on their faces .... again.... so soon after the other recent publicity lie about the Covington kids.  They're on a roll.  I hope they roll all the way to Hell where they belong.  (ooops)   888mouth

You’d  think after getting burned on the Covington kid story they would be a little gun shy about jumping into the next “outrage” so soon. But like Pavlov’s dog, they drool at the next sound of the bell.

The narrative that’s deeply imbedded in their mind is white people cannot wait to pummel other races, creeds, and sexual orientation. And that white men are all chomping at the bit to rape. So the Smollets of the world feed and reaffirm it. They never doubt the veracity of these claims by the likes of Smollet because it proves what they believe

I really think he is looking at jail time. He pi44ed of the Chicago PD and the Post office. If it was just one of them he might be able to skate, but the Post Office takes that stuff seriously.

No not at all, outrage is their crack cocaine. The left has lost the ability to genuinely use journalism to make change in a reasonable manner. It is the only crayon they have left in the box. They are all consumed by their hatred of Trump and anything that even smacks of Conservatism that they can't believe that the rest of us aren't.

Does being written out of the script (temporarily) count as being unemployed?  I don't think so.  I suspect that he'll have to start a gofundme account...lol.

GLAAD recently posted an update on that page.  They admitted it's a hoax and offered refunds because they should not be raising money on Smollett's name, while keepng the page up for those who just want to support GLAAD.

Supposedly, he still says he is innocent.  But in the event, he is convicted, having a drug problem is a convenient excuse.

@Cyber Liberty

The most obvious thing to me is he is "two o" Stuoopid. This loser has a job playing make-believe that pays him 65 grand a WEEK,and he decides that's not enough money so he comes up with all this crap in an effort to get paid more,and as a result loses the big bucks he was already paid,AND killed any chance he will ever have of making that kind of money again.

His next job will have a uniform and he will be asking "do you want fries with that?"

And I can guarantee you that on the day he dies,he will still think he was a victim and all this was someone else's fault.

I have to wonder how much his last job paid.

I think he was looking at being written out of the Series, after which his weekly take would be $0.  The true Minimum Wage.

The Bond was set at $100,000, but I don't know if that was full cash bond or the 10% thing.  There are enough Hollyweird celeb friends that would have pitched in.  $100,000 seems a bit light for trying to incite a race war.

I read somewhere that he had to come up with $10,000.  It does seem light, considering how much he made.  Preferential treatment of a black, gay leftie, perhaps?  I suspect so.

Untreated drug problem? More like untreated head problem.
Great thinking there Jussie. 

"Let's see.....how can I try to start a race war and possibly ruin my career...er... I mean help my career in the process? I know...I'll concoct a fantastically stupid  story about being assaulted by right-wing MAGA hat wearers in ultra liberal Chicago.  And in a mostly black and homosexual neighborhood too....in minus degree weather. A noose has to be involved and maybe some caustic substance. Yeah...that's the ticket.
 Everybody will believe me. Especially all the gullible Hollyweird liberals I know.
 Now, who can I get to take the roles of racist white guys? Hey, I know two Nigerian brothers...they'll be perfect.  Gosh, I'm a genius."
