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? It seems the prevailing theory now is he had the 2 guys do that to him which doesn’t make any sense but weirder shit have happened He’s been attacked there is no doubt about that but the cops are still looking for video of the people on the act, the reason he got attacked is still the question that hasn’t been answered since they only now got 2 arrest

If not trying to charge them with assault it could mean they're actually just trying to get info on what happened. So either the thoery of Jussie hiring them ends up ringing true and he's going to have a lot to answer for, or they just end up confessing "well f*** that guy we wanted to f*** him up for X reason". Whatever is going on with them being held is probably trying to figure out which of these stories is the one at play. Of coure they could just be uninvolved or at least claiming they're uninvolved and the cops will end up having to let them go and then we're back to having zero answers at play here.

Yea, the only thing has been speculation which both Jussie and the cops have said were false. Jussie said the attackers yelling this is MAGA country was not what was said and the cops shut down the rumor Jussie did this to himself
More so just got to wait and see

You'd think that if he paid these guys to do it we'd know by now. I hope this arrest puts an end to the insane conspiracy theories swirling about it.

Right and the arrest but with no charges is what everyone is waiting on to go forward basically.

I thought he shut down the rumors they were wearing MAGA hats. Not that they said it. Granted I haven't been following the story very closely.

A little update as the Chicago police are saying they have new information that "could change the story entirely and they also raided their homes

These two would be facing prison time and, being from Nigeria, possible deportation. If Smollett did, in fact, hire them to stage this, why would they not immediately roll over on him to save themselves? With the two of them being released, it's possible they were hired to attack him and snitched on who hired them, but we'll have to wait to find out.

If it was staged I think we'll find out fairly soon via some kind of official statement. I hate when people in general fake things like this and take away resources that could be used to help solve real crimes. It's like prank calling 911- you tie up the 911 operator's time when they could be taking an actual emergency call that could save someone's life.

This has gotta be one of the weirdest cases. In all it’s development. I will say props to FAN for how it’s being handled (even in the original thread) cause this is a dumpster fire being discussed elsewhere.

Alright well if it is indeed staged then I take back what I said. Reality can be stranger than fiction. That said id appreaciate if people didnt gloat about this either because this really isnt the place dor that.

If that's true, kiss your career goodbye Jussie
For once he may have proved the conspiracy theorist right

I think it's awful that he wasted the time and resources of a whole lot of people presumably to gain sympathy and attention for himself.

I don't even think people can gloat because that's sad as f*** if he really staged all this for whatever purposes
I would have no problem admitting I was wrong about him getting attacked, however the basis of everything was always victim first. Not everything deserves or needs a conspiracy but somehow they one may be correct

If this does actually turn out to be staged...
yeah, he's going to jail for filing a false police report.
Very few people are going to want to work with him (and if he wasn't being written off the show he absolutely is now.)
and it's going to make people jump to any time someone actually is attacked it thinking it's faked.

I refused to even entertain this because I mean really, it sounds like the kind of insane theory a sandy hook truther would be running their mouth about. Taken objectively it sounds utterly insane that someone would do this.

If this is true, shit like this is why people get victim shamed when they should be given the benefit of doubt
