  1. He can partner up with Bill Cosby to jumpstart their careers again.

  2. All the activist quiet all of a sudden 😂

  3. Hopefully the hate group Hollywood won’t take him back to act. He should be done. No apologizes should be accepted.

  4. poor baby thought he was a white woman judge gives reality check

  5. THE FRENCH ACTOR JUICY
    IS AN ARROGANT👺LIAR
    IN SPITE OF A VERY FAIR
    AND HONEST TRIAL
    STILL HAS NOT LEARNED
    THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE
    Had He Told the TRUTH
    Odds Are HE Would have Gotten
    PROBATION ONLY WITH NO JAIL
    AND STILL GIVEN A BREAK BY
    NOT SENTENCED TO MORE.
    ARROGANT AND ENTITLED
    ON FULL DISPLAY
    GET THAT DEVIL👹OUT OF
    YOU JUICY,
    THE ONE DECEIVING YOU

  6. He probably loves lots and lots and lots of attention

  7. Wow Jesse's attorneys tried to pull the little old white Jewish lady grandmother race card. And I'm sure it would have worked if he had been just a little bit more whiter..

  8. I notice it didn't show his racist fist salute.

  9. I'm sure done lemonade is crying his little heart out knowing that his little girlfriend is in jail picking up the soap

  10. Sounds like he's in a cheap low budget hotel versus a jail.. he's still getting special treatment for his crimes.. R Kelly didn't get any special treatment. Own personal private jail cell three gourmet meals a day.. phone calls whenever he wants them and his own security team. He's got it better than Jeffrey Epstein had it

  11. 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍

  12. Well 5 mo in jail felony probation and paying back money is not enough. His lie couldve caused serious riots. For nothing

  13. He got more jail time than the white peoples that tried to overthrow the U.S government. America Justice isn't for black people's. To serve an protect have nothing to do with black men and women and children.

  14. Remember..THIS IS MAGA COUNTRY

  15. Shouldve got 3 years the lying dog

  16. So then, hate crimes are worth 5 months, half out on parole.

    Good to know.

  17. In a few years it will be a lifetime movie 🎥 and a book 📖 deal!!!

  18. Don’t drop the 🧼 soap😭

  19. good riddance and we are taking back our BQ invite

  20. Good… he deserves more

  21. his entire family consists of rich narcissists it appears.

    he lied on the stand. he should serve time for that as well. what a lunatic. what a liar.

  22. Legitimate question here, is he suicidal?

  23. He should get a lot more than that plus mental health treatment.

  24. I hope he never see light of day karma sweet karma

  25. Msnbc took his crap and run with it. That's fake news for ya LGB

  26. The entire family is a disgrace

  27. Should have gave him five years in prison

  28. Do the 5 months and move on. Stop the theatrics.

  29. How about the violatings on the prosecution side. Who was the victim the fictional State Of

  30. Hope doesn't take pills in jail

  31. This guys arrogance is condescending. What a joke!

  32. Nobody likes this liar. Rot in there…even though it’s 150 days
