"'Empire' Producers Consider Suspending Jussie Smollett

Fox is considering removing Jussie Smollett from production on "Empire." Sources close to the production told Variety that producers are weighing whether to suspend the actor after he was charged Wednesday in Chicago with filing a false police report."


How many of us could get indicted and our employers just "consider" suspending us.

As of this afternoon, they said they wouldn't write him out of the series because he had continued to be "a consummate professional at work".

I was thinking that maybe they were just waiting for the charges to formally be filed.

Don Lemon has been espousing all night: Innocent until proven guilty.

Do you not agree with this line of thinking?!

Trash all around . . . OHHH the HORROR! Modern Day Lynching!!!

Quote:
"Why all of a sudden do we have people unable to study while black, unable to mow a lawn while black, unable to have a picnic while black and being attacked?" wondered Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif. She answered her own question: "It's coming from the president of the United States."
President Trump, she continued, is "separating and dividing, and he is basically emboldening those folks who feel this way, maybe never said and never talked about it, never could act it out, but now they're on it."
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., said: "When one of the most famous black and gay men in America is not safe, the message is clearer than it has ever been. The dangerous lies spewing from the right wing is (sic) killing & hurting our people."
The same day that this scenario unfolded, GQ magazine published Joshua Rivera's rant on "the blind rage of late-stage whiteness" beneath this incendiary headline: "The Racist, Homophobic Attack on Jussie Smollett Is Far-Right America's Endgame."
Rivera complained bitterly that police called this a "possible hate crime." He moaned: "The cautious wording is one last wound inflicted on Smollett's battered body, a careful hedging of bets that don't need hedging a crime scene involving a corpse is not discussed as a 'possible death.'"
Criticizing "the vice president of America" and his views on gay rights, actress Ellen Page told CBS "Late Show" host Stephen Colbert: "If you are in a position of power, and you hate people, and you want to cause suffering to them you go through the trouble, you spend your career trying to cause suffering what do you think is gonna happen? Kids are gonna be abused, and they're gonna kill themselves. And people are gonna be beaten on the street."

The fact that you have this list makes it clear you're just a racist. Who are you to judge "their truth".

I agree with innocent until proven guilty, but the proof is already there and just waiting for a jury. His version of events is simply not physically possible, and there's now evidence and testimony to the contrary. What we're waiting on is a conviction.

In order for Jussie to be innocent the brothers would have to be the greatest criminal masterminds of all-time to the point that they hypnotized Jussie into lying about the MAGA white racists, tricked him into redacting incriminating phone calls and paying them exorbitant amounts of money for simple workout routines.

The innocent train left the station a long time ago.

I'd be curious what Lemons position was on Judge Kavanaugh. I'm sure he was the voice of reason on CNN when Kav was being accused of sexual assault.

And he was the first to condemn the attack to "guilty" MAGA homophobic Trump supporters.

Also, lmaooo at poor Don Lemonhead. His deep concern now is that Carlson Tucker, Hannity, and Trump are going to use this example as a way to prove the media are all full of *****

https://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnns-don-lemon-tucker-carlson-is-going-to-eat-smolletts-lunch/

Quote:
"[Fox News'] Sean Hannity is going to eat Jussie Smollett's lunch every single second. [Fox News'] Tucker Carlson is going to eat Jussie Smollett's lunch every single second," Lemon said.

"The president of the United States is going to eat his lunch," he further added, noting Trump watches cable news every night.

"Well, the pushback on this needs to be that the framing cannot be that simply because of this one case, that all the other victims that come forward are somehow no longer believed," Charles said. "That's really important."
It's not one case, dip***** It's just three Don has gotten wrong in the past 4 weeks and 100 he's gotten wrong in the past 2 years.

The only way Lemon could save face at this point is if he dove into the ocean and found the missing Malaysian airliner on his own.

Don Lemon just wants to remind everyone that Smollett is innocent until proven guilty.

CNN

And poor Jussie is going to be skewered by "conservative media". For Don, poor Jussie is still the victim because mean old Carlton Tuckerson and Sean Hannity will "eat his lunch".

So a politician (this time a hyper flamed out liberal) responded to the needs of those who paid him off...how is that even possible?!

City of Chicago ought to sue him for lost tourist dollars etc- if they had ounce of fairness. Where is Jesse? He might go against the grain to hustle a buck.

So I wonder if his high powered attorneys advised him to start cooperating and stop acting like a spoiled entitled brat...I would also love to hear how that tough talk went with him, probably the first time he's been told anything but hiw great he is, don't forget dude was a child actor.

Quote:
Earlier this week, Chicago's top prosecutor, Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx, announced that she had recused herself from the investigation.
Her office explained Wednesday that Foxx made the decision "out of an abundance of caution" because of conversations she had with one of Smollett's family members just after the report. When the relative expressed concerns about the case, Foxx "facilitated a connection" between the family member and detectives, according to a statement.
Foxx said the case would be handled to her first assistant, Joseph Magats, a 28-year veteran prosecutor.


I know there was some mention of this earlier in the week, but wouldn't it be HIGHLY unethical if not illegal for a prosecutor to speak with a family member of a person under scrutiny and try to arrange a meeting with detectives? Or is this just typical Chicago politics?

Probably typical politics, remember this is the city where they tried to auction off Obama's vacated Senate seat to the highest briber. Of course with Obama he didn't even have a smidgen of corruption.
