stupider than stupid people magazine provided convicted hate hoaxer Jussie Smollett with an uncontested environment to continue spreading ugly and divisive misinformation.
More than five years ago, on that horrifying January 29, 2019, Smollett claimed to have been the victim of a hate crime committed by two white men at 2 a.m. in frigid Chicago. one who has been humiliated empire Starr told police (and the world) that the men asked her if she was “that faggot.” empire They beat him, tied a noose around his neck and doused him with bleach.
Oh, and they yelled, “This is MAGA country!”
Man, how lucky were they to be so prepared for a hate crime at 2 a.m. in freezing cold Chicago?
Of course, it was a hoax. Police claim Smollett invented the whole thing to get attention and hurt his feelings empire salary. instead he was fired empire He was ultimately convicted of five felonies and disorderly conduct. This resulted in a $130,160 fine and 150 days in jail. He served only six days in prison and was released on appeal in March 2024.
If the conviction is not overturned, Smollett may have to serve out the remaining 144 days, which this entitled spoiled brat deserves.
Instead of admitting he did something stupid, repenting, and serving time, Smollett, 42, stands by and continues to be defined by reprehensible lies to this day. This is the latest work people:
Despite the story he says many people assume, Smollett maintains his innocence to this day.
“I was numb,” he told People, recalling the incident. “I didn't know how to connect the dots. I really, really didn't know. I didn't understand what was going on, I didn't understand what people were actually thinking… They… What the heck is going on? I couldn't put two and two together.”
There's no journalism here at all. Just ask why two of his black friends claim they paid Mr. Smollett to beat him in the street while posing as two Trump supporters. Let's give him a little challenge. Instead, he is allowed to pretend to be a victim and spout the following nonsense:
“Now I speak in a more grown-up, adult way, but at the same time my thinking hasn't changed,” he says, adding that he now approaches things with a “softer” touch. He added that it has become. “My heart hasn't changed at all. I'm the same person I've always been and always will be. If a lot of people are listening to you, you have to say something that they deserve to hear.” is.”
Smollett appears to have found a second career producing and directing gay-themed TV movies for BET. Good for him. No one wants to deny his life. We all deserve a second chance. But this man does not deserve to be forgiven and should not be allowed to move forward until he admits what he has done and asks for forgiveness. Selfish people never repent. He continues to spread harmful lies and it is a shame for him.
Living a lie is exhausting. Most of us learn it in childhood. Please fess up. Please put it behind you. move on. Life will be much simpler that way.
