  10. Guilty until proven innocent🤦‍♂️

  11. Lier lier pants on fire!!! 😂😂😂

  12. Juicy Smollett'e …the famous french lover boy… soon to meet a new lover in the slammer

  13. In the stand-up show, Chappelle went on to say that there was an outpouring of support for Smollett from celebrities and Hollywood—including from Joe Biden and Kamala Harris—but that Black Americans were "oddly quiet" on the matter.

    He added that that was because Black people understood that Smollett was "clearly lying."

    "None of these details added up at all," he said.

  14. Why haven't police officers who have done similar acts, have not been prosecuted, judged & sentenced in the same manner?

  15. Abc was one of the major fake news spreaders from the very beginning. Abc has no credibility.

  16. He Convicted himself with his narcissistic attitude. Defiant up to the time he was sentenced. When the judge didn’t buy his holier than thou stance and sentenced him to actual jail time he reverts to his true, I am better then you, self .. and we see this all the way to his Cook County cell. He never thought he’d get caught, then we he did, he thought his money and his connections would place him above the law and above justice. The moral to the story is that every now and then our justice system accidentally gets it right .. most of the time, they don’t, this was one such time they did.

  17. According to Jussie Smollett, 2 men should be in prison while he walks free like a king denouncing racism and homophobic people.

  18. Trump derangement syndrome is real, leftists are so obsessed with trump, racism, racists, they will put themselves in prison.

  19. Samual jackson and jesse jackson backing this fool after being roasted by dave chappelle, wow.

  20. To we good tistical to be suicidal. That would have been his best trait. The world does not need any individual at satanic is this person. Should have been locked up for twenty years to perfect his acting career.

  21. I love how he still pretends a civil rights leader like dude you made up everything

  22. He already lied about an attack and now he wants us to believe he isn't suicidal. They should have a video camera in his cell to make sure we can find out what happens to him in jail.

  23. Sounds like he is suicidal.

  24. He doesn’t respect the judge, he doesn’t respect the jury, and he sure as hell doesn’t respect the black community. He employed the same racist tactics as those found in the KKK toolbox. He is a mere racist.

  25. This case gives me hope that the people propagating The BIG LIE will get jail time. This gives me hope that the cost for calling in the national guard and fortifying a city against domestic terrorists will be repaid by said domestic terrorists. Probably wishful thinking.

  26. The only way he would have made this situation any worse is if he started accusing two dudes on some “oh no I know it was them I recognize them blah “ only to find out he lied..

  27. He should of got hate crimes

  28. He didnt do this. So who did this? Cuz he scripted the whole thing and paid them to participate in his fake hate crime. Crazy.. To blame trump supporters was dead wrong. To claim racial slurs was even worse. So many people are dying in race fights so why go that far.. Like dude thats crazy…. I take go to jail for $200 Alex.. Yeah send juicy smooyah ass to lock up so he can think on it…and i loved him in Empire. That was a good show. He ruined it for the hunger of fame.

  29. Still don't know his end game? Like we all needed another Fake report of racism and Gay bullying? 🙄

  30. This crazy got off easy.

  31. He put the noose him self lol jackass

  32. Stupid people who believe him are scumbags

  33. that is such a low sentence, there are a lot of people who were wrongfully charged who spent more jail time than him.

  34. Wow he's privileged I don't feel bad for him at all he chose this

  35. Maybe Hollywood can consider making this a movie like, "I, Tonya"
    Calling it, "Pulling a Smollet"

  36. He always talks about his "struggle " when he,s obviously led a hugely entitled life! Him or his family don't know anything about struggling or the real world!

  37. If people were being intellectually honest, they would acknowledge the fact that this is one of the only times that someone has actually seen jail time for false police reports. I find the comments I have been seeing regarding this sentencing amazing and it really reveals people and our "justice" system for what it is. I wouldn't have a problem with this if everybody was treated the same when they did wrong, but that simply is not the case. Smollett is being treated like he is the worst scumbag ever because of a very stupid choice. Should there be consequences? Of course there should be. But please don't act like this is a fair way for our legal system to work just because you don't like the person who is getting punished. There needs to be actual consistency in how justice is doled out in America.
