Former Empire Actor, Jussie Smollett has defended his claims with a statement from his Public relations team saying that “every iota” of his account of being a victim of racist and homophobic attacks in Chicago is true.
According to his PR team, his claims can be supported with police evidence despite the police saying that the attack was allegedly staged.
On January 2019, Jussie Smollett alleged that he had been a victim of Homophobic attacks and on February 21, the actor was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and in March the case was closed.
As a result of all the drama surrounding the case, the actor was suspended from the hit series Empire.
