Hate crime hoaxer and disgraced actor Jussie Smollett believes the primary reason he was sentenced to jail is because he is black, according to a report by TMZ. Sources in direct touch with Smollett told the outlet that the former Empire actor fully expected to get jail time due to the color of his skin, and Smollett believes his sentencing is more evidence of “systemic racism” in the judicial system. Smollett reportedly took issue with “the animosity the judge showed toward him.” During the sentencing, Judge James Linn speculated that Smollett undertook the hoax attack on himself because he “really craved the attention,” labeling the actor “a charlatan pretending to be a victim of a hate crime.
