The studio and network behind Fox’s «Empire» say they are considering their options, following the arrest of television actor Jussie Smollett.
Chicago police allege Smollett paid two men $3,500 to stage an attack on him last month.
Smollett had told police that on Jan. 29 he was attacked by two people who yelled racist and homophobic slurs at him, tied a rope around his neck, and poured an unknown substance on him.
The incident prompted a flood of support for Smollett from all corners of Hollywood, including his «Empire» co-stars and producers.
