Jussie Smollett has a message for his supporters: „I’m OK.“
„Let me start by saying that I’m OK,“ the actor said. „My body is strong but my soul is stronger.“
He went on to share his gratitude.
„More importantly I want to say thank you,“ Smollett said. „The outpouring of love and support from my village has meant more than I will ever be able to truly put into words.“
The star also addressed speculation that he has been less than forthcoming with authorities and that his story has changed since he originally reported the incident.
„I am working with authorities and have been 100% factual and consistent on every level,“ Smollett added. „Despite my frustrations and deep concern with certain inaccuracies and misrepresentations that have been spread, I still believe that justice will be served.“
Smollett said he was attacked by two people who were „yelling out racial and homophobic slurs,“ according to police.
