“Empire” star Jussie Smollett has been released from a Chicago hospital after being attacked early Tuesday and plans to perform a previously scheduled concert in Los Angeles over the weekend.
A person familiar with the situation but not authorized to speak publicly about it confirmed Smollett’s hospital exit and performance plans to USA TODAY.
The actor, 35, left Northwestern Memorial Hospital Wednesday after being treated for cuts on his face and neck. Before his release, Smollett’s representative, Pamela Sharp, told USA TODAY that he was “recovering well.”
Fox told USA TODAY that filming for “Empire” would resume Thursday after the network suspended production over record cold temperatures Wednesday. It’s unclear whether the attack on Smollett will cause further delay.
