Simply put, the reason why jussie did all this was to UP his fame. He loves being famous and in the spotlight. He thought this stunt would have made him a bigger star. However, even though he lied, in turn it did make him a bigger star, but no one will want to hire him other than FOX. Lol. I’m sure he will work again but people will side eye him for the rest of his life. It was a stupid move!
