The Chicago Police Department are releasing never-before-seen information about Jussie Smollett’s alleged plot to deceive the world into believing he was the victim of a racially motivated attack as they believe it is in the public’s interest.
Earlier this month, it unlocked and unveiled texts he sent to one of the men he is accused of hiring to rough him up.
Today, it has set out to embarrass him again by revealing that he was glued to Google in the days following the “attack”, and searched his own name over 57 times to find out which media media outlets were covering what many now say is a tale of the tallest persuasion.
Full story below…
Smollett claimed he was pursued by two men who put a noose around his neck and threw bleach on him as he made his way to find food in the early hours of a cold Chicago morning.
Shortly after giving interviews in which detailed what happened (and refusing to give his phone to the police), Smollett then learned that two fitness experts he worked with closely were in talks with the police as holes began to appear in his story.
The sum of the official investigation into it? Jussie orchestrated his own beating (and the media it received) to generate publicity for himself and boost his ‘Empire’ earnings.
The Chicacgo PD are now using this time to shed light on his supposed attempt to deceive the public, and have released his computer/internet records with hopes doing so will reveal why they don’t believe his story.
Records show that majority of his computer searches were of himself in the days following the attack, reading stories about his creative director speaking out on the attack and police tracking down where the rope used for the noose was purchased.
His searches included “Weather Chicago”, “Doner Kebab Near Me”, “CNN”, “Visa on Arrival Nigeria” and “MSNBC” as well as two items authorities decide to omit before his personal information was unsealed.
His computer search history shows that he googled ‘Jussie Smollett’ and ‘Juss’ 57 times from January 30 to February 10.
The actor maintains that he is innocent but is under pressure to pay the $130,000 it cost authorities to get to the bottom of the case.
