The popular slogan is "Just Do It" - not "Jussie Do It". He must have missed the distinction. And a lot of people think that what's unspooling now is long overdue.
This may perhaps be the worst week ever of disgraced Hollywood actor Jussie Smollett’s quickly unraveling life …
On Tuesday, Fox Entertainment president Michael Thorn confirmed to TVLine that Smollett will NEVER return to the popular TV series “Empire,” in part because of the hate crime hoax the embattled actor pulled last year.
Less than 24 hours later, word emerged that a judge in Smollett’s home of Chicago has struck him with another devastatingly painful blow by ordering the technology giant Google to turn over essentially everything it has on him and his manager.
“A Cook County judge has ordered Google to turn over Jussie Smollett’s emails, photos, location data and private messages for an entire year as part of the special prosecutor’s investigation into the purported attack on the actor,” the Chicago Tribune confirmed.
Already facing legal filings seeking hundreds of thousands of dollars relating to the alleged hate crime hoax, he may well be looking at criminal charges in the coming months. Chicago PD is demanding $130,000 from him to cover overtime expenses they incurred during their investigations into the hate crime hoax, and finding work in his chosen field of endeavor likely won't come easily.
