With an ongoing media onslaught surrounding his allegedly faked homophobic attack, ‘Hurt People’ singer Jussie Smollett’s seeing his real life drama hurt the ratings of the scripted drama, ‘Empire.’

Once FOX’s flagship production, the Taraji P. Henson-led series was already steadily declining in viewership ahead of the commotion caused by Smollett – a feat the negative press certainly didn’t help.  Just a week after posting its lowest season premiere ratings (mid-season or otherwise), reports now have it ‘Empire’ delivered its lowest figures to date (overall) on its Wednesday (March 20) episode.

Meet ‘The Last Black Man In San Francisco.’ 

A hot favorite following the Sundance Film Festival, the movie tells the the tale of an optimistic young man who seeks to reclaim a valuable item built by a member of his family – all the while as he attempt to find meaning in an ever-changing world.

Word is that the flick, which is directed by Joe Talbot and stars Jimmie Fails as well as Jonathan Majors, unapologetically explores race class, and gentrification.

Due in June, the film has already bagged several prestigious awards at Sundance thanks it stunning directing and poignant storytelling.

As Jussie Smollett gears up for a colossal legal battle, his friend and ‘Empire’ boss Lee Daniels is speaking up and out about the scandal everyone’s talking about.

Last month, the 36-year-old was indicted on 16 counts related what Chicago authorities are saying was a “staged attack.”

At the time of the incident, Smollett filed a police report asserting that he was targeted because of his race and sexuality.

The fall-out from the drama not only has the actor’s role on ‘Empire’ placed in jeopardy, but the entire show’s future too.

It would appear the latter has prompted Daniels – who was one of the first to voice support for Smollett initially – to touch on the matter as best as he could.

Just a month after making headlines for slamming a set of detractors with homophobic slurs, Instagram star/comedienne Jess Hilarious (born Jessica Moore) was in the news again Sunday (March 17) for making xenophobic comments about Sikh men on her plane.

As commenters began to weigh in on the 27-year-old’s insensitive remarks, she clapped back with:

“Y’all mad at me because I don’t side with any other black person, because I don’t side with every other race. F**k y’all. I feel how I feel. I felt threatened and that was it. F**k y’all, and I’m not flying there. We were evacuated, bitch. Why? Why? with no technical difficulties or nothing.”

Needless to say, the statements didn’t go over well with fans especially as just two days prior New Zealand’s deadliest Muslim attack in its history left 51 men, women and children dead.  Now, two days after the incident first caused uproar, Moore took to social media to apologize for her insensitivity.
