Yup that gave me some pause too. Seemingly we're at "two guys traveled half way across the world to do this" if these guys are the actual attackers and that makes this all sorts of batty. I don't understand all this, but I can confirm on Twitter that I have read a bit about central Africans who have bought into MAGA rhetoric and other forum-unfriendly topics.

Now what that beef is, who knows. Could be anything from drugs to them possibly feeling like he slighted them on set

It's alittle sketch to say the least. Def more question than answers at this point and the redacted phone records gives room for pause
If it isn't a hoax it's got to be some crazy shit at least. The obvious worst case scenario is Jussie was caught up in some shit and it caught up to him so now whatever he was involved in could be brought to the surface

Rumor is he had them beat him up for sympathy because he was being written out of the show.

It's alittle sketch to say the least. No, it certainly doesn't. But nor does it widen the door. Equally as assumptive as "what if Jussie hired these guys to scream MAGA and then beat him up" is "what if two dudes who hated Jussie for whatever beef caught him slipping one night and yelled it out because who would pin it to them after that" and we can keep going this route with more wild made up ideas because that's all any of us are doing without cold hard facts. With that said lemme address FAN as a whole here so that we may yet avoid previous mistakes... I know everyone has selected this story to be all MUH POLITICAL IDEOLOGY IS AT STAKE no matter which "side" you're on here but after the way the first thread went (and again when this one first opened) how about we at FAN not fall into that social trap, wait for facts, and try to be better than every other internet shithole. And for Christ's sake as far as we know a young man got the shit knocked out of him and I see less compassion for him than trying to push political agendas so one side or the other can get a "gotcha" moment. Y'all want FAN to be allowed these more charged kind of topics then everybody needs to play nice or else FAN ends up looking like a YouTube comment section and then everything falls to shit and everyone is mad at everyone and someone leaves in a puff and I probably hafta tell someone to ban someone. Be cool, FAN.

It's entirely possible it's still a hate crime, given Smollett being LGBT. Still, these are some strange twists and turns. Rumor is he had them beat him up for sympathy because he was being written out of the show. Please, please, please read the rest of the thread before posting.

Thanks to what happened with Covington, I won't pass any judgement in anyway until the investigation is all over and all the facts are straight.

Yeah, it needs to be emphasized that Nigeria is an extremely homophobic country, both in how it's viewed by the country's government (sexual activities with the same sex are illegal and can be punished by death) and its society in general and mob violence against people thought to be gay is fairly high. And it being dudes who worked on Empire definitely gives them opportunity to attack him if they were familiar at all with his habits. Does it look sketchier? A bit. But I still think Jussie was a victim of a crime and not a perpetrator of a hoax.

I can’t help but feel we’ve really started to bend over backwards here to look at something something that looks like a duck and sounds like a duck, and call it an elephant. This is suspicious as all f***, and it doesn’t make you a racist homophobe to point that out.

I don't know why some people think that someone's sexual orientation automatically makes them a person who is somehow incapable of lying.

This person as it stands right now is a victim of a crime and they deserve that benefit of doubt until the cops say so otherwise Nothing about gay people are incapable of lying or anything like that just on the side of the victim until otherwise

Has there been any evidence of this being a hoax? Like I said before, I'm fairly certain that hospitals can probably tell when wounds are self-inflicted. It's certainly a weird story that likely has elements we haven't heard yet, but has there been ANY piece of evidence that points toward the guy having not been attacked at all?

Neither of these arguments from either of these posts have been presented here at all. Y'all are fighting a war that isn't being fought.
