’Empire’ star Jussie Smollett gave emotional ’GMA’ interview after the attack that’s being investigated as a hate crime.
Empire actor Jussie Smollett sat down with Good Morning America‘s Robin Roberts two weeks after he suffered a Chicago attack that’s being investigated as a hate crime. Smollett has accused two assailants of hitting him over the head while wearing ski masks and yelling homophobic and racial slurs, along with placing a noose around his neck and pouring bleach on him. Despite the Chicago PD stating that they have “no reason to doubt” the statements made by Smollett and his manager, a vocal contingent remains skeptical that the assault happened. Presumably, these folks take issue with Smollett not handing over his phone records and the unfortunate fact that the attackers haven’t been found, although police are still seeking these two men for questioning.
