FOX Empire star Jussie Smollett has been attacked in Chicago in what appears to be a hate crime. The multi-talented singer/actor that plays the character Jamal Lyon on Empire.
Sources directly connected to Jussie tell TMZ, the actor arrived in Chicago from New York late Monday, and at around 2 AM he was hungry and went to a Subway. We’re told when he walked out, someone yelled, “Aren’t you that f***ot ‘Empire’ n*****?”
The 2 men — both white and wearing ski masks — viciously attacked Jussie as he fought back, but they beat him badly and fractured a rib. They put a rope around his neck, poured bleach on him and as they left they yelled, “This is MAGA country.”
We will be sure to keep you updated on Jussie Smollett’s condition as we keep him lifted in our prayers.
