Just hours after being named a suspect in the investigation of his own alleged attack (as we reported here), officials in Chicago are moving forward with charges against Jussie Smollett.
Details inside:
“Empire” actor Jussie Smollett has been charged with filing a false police report, the Chicago police said Wednesday.
“Detectives will make contact with his legal team to negotiate a reasonable surrender for his arrest,” police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said on Twitter.
Police said earlier that they were presenting evidence to a grand jury. Smollett could face one to three years in prison if convicted of the felony charge, though he could also be sentenced to probation.
The state’s attorney’s office approved disorderly conduct charges against “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett, said spokesman Robert Foley. The charge is a Class 4 felony. Smollett is expected to appear in bond court Thursday, Foley said.
*****
As has been widely reported, the charges stem from information gleaned from the arrest of two Nigerian brothers who were once believed to be the perpetrators of the attack. Once they were interrogated then released without charges (as we reported here), the investigation turned to Smollett as officials have reason to believe he orchestrated his own assault.
??♂️ AND to think he’s only made it WORSE for the Homosexuals & BLACK asides afterwards!
He’s half White, so he’s their problem.
Dead ?
During Black History month at that smfh Gay Tupac my ass
Chile, Jussievelli is a hot mess ? Had the nerve to say he was the gay Tupac! That’s when I knew something was off!
Screaming at Jussivelli lol I’m in tears
Its really suspect as to why they are going so hard for this! Chicago has the worst homicide rate in America and theyr going after this like he is a serial killer or something. It makes you wonder what the hell is really going on here? Where is the concrete evidence? This is just strange on both sides, why is the victim being vilified? The assailants did all this just for 3500 dollars LOL! Wth?
He pulled a stunt. HE probably would LOVE to go to Jail. They would pass him around like a tissue. THIS STUNT – he wanted attention – He finally got it. Off to jail NOT probation SHE should get.
Sad
Omg lmao
I can’t believe this website is actually called “thatgrapejuice” lmao
Trump deranged syndrome. Kamala harris what’s good?
Gay tupac u are going to prison.
The fbi haven’t brought their own charges for the hate mail and white powder substance he sent to himself.
Jussie u are toast. Just read he was arrested some few years ago and he gave police his brother’s name as his. Damn.
I knew from the start this was all bs. THE STORY HE GAVE come on now was fishier than an sardine factory ! His whole career is officially dead. There’s no coming back from this and had the audacity to fool loved ones and supporters. But importantly s*** be really happening to everyday people and for him to use it as a clout chase. YOU DONE. Fox and party lost their cred and Empire will be ending sooner than they had wished because the backlash is about to be on it. Smh a hookup obviously WENT WRONG . Like wtf momma always said there’s nothing but trouble at nighttime and you walking at 2am Chicago??
David (TGJ) must be crying somewhere after all that caping for Jussie….lol
LMAO
You’re laughing because someone had empathy for someone who said they were almost lynched? Seek help .
The boy who cried wolf has to seek help.
Is that you, David???
He is such an idiot. He brought all this on himself for no reason. I have no sympathy for him. IDIOT! Fire him Lee Daniels. I’ve lost all respect from this dumb ass
Jussie they not gone believe you when you get beat in that jail either. He gone be shidding uncontrollably from all that d. ick he gone be taking.
Let’s have moment of silence for Jussie’s b.o.o.t.y hole. They gone stuff it from the rooter to the tooter in there.

Male r*** isn’t funny.
Pulling stunts and faking a hate crime isn’t funny! You need to get to stepping! Jussievelli put this on himself so let’s not! Bye!

lol, Lucifer is good for helping this smollet f a g ruin his own career in less than 20 days ?
Din du nuffin just like R Kelly
I think he was going to meet up with those two actors and he was attacked by two white men but because he left out information it looks crazy. If he was truly guilty they wouldn’t go to court they would just charge .
So you want to dimiss the two friends of Jussie on camera purchasing the items Jussie says were used in the attack, and believe that two white men somehow managed to avoid all cameras in the area and had the same exact idea to use the same exact items (some of which were found at the home the two men share) at the same exact time the two brothers are on camera leaving the area in a taxi?? Wow… wow.
exactly! I think something really isn’t right with this.
What a bloody c*** IDIOT attention seekers! Sicko gulluble???. If I were him and wants to take off his career on hollyweird … just put out the damn GAY ASS S** TAPE and that’s what made the KARTRASHIANS famous and made their fortune!
I honestly still think he might be innocent. Why would someone do this???
Exactly. Innocent until proven guilty
Right is right! Wrong is wrong! #FOH
