Multiple sources have told ABC7 in Chicago that police are investigating whether the attack on “Empire†TV star Jussie Smollett was staged.
Though a Chicago Police Department spokesperson said that claim is “unconfirmed,†two suspects have been arrested who were reportedly close with Smollett — appearing on the set of “Empire†with Smollett as well as recently working out at a gym with the openly-gay, African American star who claims that two men attacked him and screamed, “This is MAGA country!â€
If the attack turns out to have been staged, it will be the biggest racially-motivated hoax since the Tawana Brawley case in the late 1980s.
