Jussie Smollett Cut From ‘Empire’ Episodes As Attack Probe Continues

As the Chicago police investigation into what really happened to Jussie Smollett in the alleged assault last month intensifies its focus on the Empire actor, the Fox drama is cutting the performer out of the action.
Deadline has confirmed with well placed sources that Smollett’s scenes in episodes of the Lee Daniels and Danny Strong co-created series are being slashed for production on Empire this week.
While the show is back at work today in the Windy City after the long weekend, Smollett will be a rare presence on the set of the Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard led show.
The actor has also been absent as Chicago PD request another interview with him. As Smollett himself has become the subject of deeper inquiry into the supposed assault that occurred in the early hours of January 29, detectives want to know more about the actor’s version of what happened that day on the streets of Chicago and any possible knowledge he may have to indicate the incident could have been preplanned.
The widely condemned attack was previously described as a racist and homophobic barrage that left Smollett beaten, drenched in bleach and with a rope slung around his neck. Openly gay, Smollett portrays the openly gay Jamal Lyon on Empire.
Now the reality appears to be more complex or at least convoluted.
There are no plans right now to make any changes to the remaining episodes of the fifth season of Empire that are already in the can, I hear.
Yet, despite the strongly expressed renewed support by Empire showrunner Brett Mahoney on February 17, upcoming episodes have seen serious rewrites in recent days to reduce the increasingly besieged Smollett’s role both in dramatic stints and musical performances.
Empire returns for the remainder of its fifth season on March 13.
Fox had no comment on Smollett’s scenes being cut, nor would the network confirm any such reports, as first noted by TMZ earlier Tuesday. Reps for the lawyered-up Smollett did not return request for comment by Deadline.
While Smollett is not considered a formal suspect at present, prosecutors and law enforcement authorities are seeking to be enlightened by him about his private relationship with Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo.
The brothers were previously described by Chicago police as “potential suspects” in the attack and arrested last week. Identified as the individuals in the photos of “persons of interest” in the Smollett case, the two were held without charge for 48 hours and then let go on the night of February 15.
Formerly Empire extras, the Osundario siblings, at least one of whom had been Smollett’s personal trainer, are now “fully” cooperating with authorities. They have sat for a number of interviews with police in recent days.

She’s toast. She a fake person trying to take on another fake persona: hip, witty, black, sort of white, politician. Little about her looks or feels real. Not even her laugh. She has ZERO chance.
But....but we should wait for the facts to come out...
she had zero chance before that.
she emasculated and embarrassed powerful white men on national t.v.
this country is majority white people. she can hang it up.
I like the analogy an earlier poster mentioned, cats in the casino doubling down on they last $2 dollars.
this is just ...
wtf was this kid thinking?!?!?!?
If true its reaching a height of stupid where he won't be allowed to eat with sharp objects.
Instead of people blaming straight black men for everything wrong in this world.Folks like the gay community and some of us should be looking into this case....but they wont.
LGBT community are a bunch of idiots too. They parade (or prance) around here like they are morally above everything else when them idiots are divided like any other group. Sad part about it all is how Black gays got sucked (pause and no pun) right into their agenda, but even they are to stupid to realize they are being used.
that one tweet is damning as f*ck...
and I actually think that murder was a thread here and wasn't any gay jokes either.
If MAYBE something positive comes out of this debacle?
Maybe it DOES seem some of this toxic bullsh*t and shine a light on the racism within that community
and in a way builds a abridge within the black community gay and straight.
@4 Dimensional Imma keep pushing this positive sh*t till it kills me fam I need some good karma equity right about now!
You make a point there is REAL division in that community REAL
I mean different types of lesbians, gay black and white black, bisexuals are not considered "real" even got beef within transvestites and cross dressers.
which is fine...
but you can't also be so harsh on straight folks who are NOT trying to hurt you oppress or anything. Jus cause they don;t IMMEDIATELY co sign your cause.
Or EVERY TIME there IS an issue make it seem like we ALL against THEM
It’s all good, fam. It just mean you’re an optimistic person. As long as you’re honest, optimism is super necessary.
They are divided, however, they share a common enemy (straight black/white men) that keeps them united.
This is how black folk should operate but we are too divided and we don’t believe we have a common enemy now of days.

And I'm not really
II never thought at my age I would change my perception so much
Your whole emotional hypocrisy view has changed my relationship with my daughter, for the better
however now it is REALLY frustrating to see things in the world around me the SAME
I got a degree in English wrote a lot etc
@ViCiouS completely changed the way I READ and comprehend not only text? but journalism and ESPECIALLY social media comments
I can SEE right thru people's words in a way I couldn't before
and watching @largebillsonlyplease debate and completely dismantle a persons argument made me RETHINK all my arguments and HOW I argue
and also WHY
so when you get your whole thought process of a few decades upended?
You got to find a comfort zone.
And ironically THIS happened and it hit ALL the targets
So I decided to take a different approach.
BE POSITIVE. Don't just be a skeptic Don't get influenced by social media Be supportive. Just address the FACTS
And of course my first time out...
I get f*cked.
Pause I guess.
I posted an article not to long ago,how gay white folks do not like gay black people....The sad part,the folks that's gay in the community rather side with white folks than help us combat their bullshit...
Check out @tariqnasheed’s Tweet:
This cac is still out bringing black men back to his crib like it ain't nothing. There's barely any outrage from the black LGBT community and damn sure none from the white community.
If a black man did the shit Ed Buck did, it would be world war 3 on straight black men.
The majority of these black feminist & LGBT communities are the worst threat to our movement imo
We all know coons are full of shit but these LGBT and feminist groups infiltrate all of our movements and try to take our pro black focus away with bs that's funded by liberal cacs who can give two shits about us.
in what way did you do this?
acquired knowledge + experience = wisdom
You should always be open to changing your world view, perspective, etc... -learning should be life long.... this should integrate or modify not cast away or ignore your existing wisdom...
we were discussing this in the other thread in a way
I understand what I don't know.
So in this instance I didn't want to be a hypocrite.
I'm not gay my kids aren't I have associates who are etc...
but I didn't want to be a hypocrite. And remember I was telling you how now this toxic masculinity thing is even schools now, even tried to get at me?
So I was like I KNOW this man lying
hell OTHER gay folk initially were arguing with EACH OTHER saying he lying
but I was like you know what?
I'm gonna step back and just give this young black man the benefit of the doubt.
I'm not gonna just JUMP and call bullsh*t cause I want to be sure I am doing based solely on the FACTS.
Also there was a level of stupid I completely underestimated an individual such as himself could reach.
Looking back on it now. I don't necessarily feel BAD. (I won't do it AGAIN)
Cause my gut told me what it was. And I gave this guy the FULL OPPORTUNITY to prove me wrong.
funny thing my niece called this the 1st day and my oldest who has no IDEA who he is?
told me... Daddy he not telling the truth.
I was like why.
Cause when I got hit by a boy I was ashamed to tell you but when I did? I felt better and told you everything and you made me scared anymore, and took care of it
But this man didn't want to tell the police or his friends everything.
that is why I didn't believe him
Because I wanted the kid who hit me to pay.
Why would you not do everything to never feel afraid again?
I’m pessimistic and cynical, bro.
And I don’t see this changing at all only because of humans inability to see outside themselves.
I’m not sure if I was ever clear about this, but I see myself no different than human, so I definitely don’t think I am better than anyone else. I have my own shortcomings that I know doesn’t help people or may be contradictory. I just try and be consistent with folks.
The process of building and destroying mythologies you held on to gain a better understanding is part of growth, wisdom, and maturity. I definitely got some of that from this board. Helps in life.
facts...the sad thing is to me at least?
I notice we don't LISTEN. even when we READING posts on here anymore
I don't wanna derail THIS thread so this is convo for the mind trust in the other thread.
but like we BEEN discussing, we have EXPERTS on here giving VALUABLE advice not just on money investment just on LIFE
and the responses are just mind numbing.
Like I was saying the BEST thing from engaging with you brothers?
I KNOW what I don't KNOW.
And not only THAT
I WANT to learn.
I can ADMIT when I'm wrong, I even do something now where I will form an opinion and WAIT to hear some OPPOSING viewpoints.
Not to CHANGE my own NECESSARILY (even though I am much more open now)
but to see if MY OPINION is strong enough
SO like on this Jussie thing... there was so much EMOTION in it?
I didn't want automatically come from the He is a LIAR.
Cause I wanted to here his DEFENDERS position.
and it got more and more difficult
but it was weird to see how people responded to ME gay and straight.
in real life when I said I believed him.
Props to you for changing and growing.
I never stay the same.
Never have never will
Fuck talking politics on social media accounts tied to your name. Unless you're a sheep, you going to have an opinion that don't go with the group. When that happens, you attacked -- relentlessly. Is it worth it? Social media to me is for business. Period. That mindset will keep you out of trouble.
Also, what might be an 'in' political thought now might not be one in 5-10 years. Then some agitator will dig up your old post and ruin your life.
If it wasn't for BGOL, I wouldn't talk politics online. Fuck these social media bubble worlds.
She didn't know what her social media manager tweeted....this broad....she's such a bad candidate it's not even funny anymore....
Oh shit.. Is that what that confusion was about??She didn't know what her social media manager tweeted.
This man gets it.^^^^^^
I don't always agree with your posts but I admire your thought process and intellectual curiosity.

CHICAGO --
Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx has recused herself from the investigation surrounding the alleged attack on "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett, her office told ABC News on Tuesday.
The Cook County State's Attorney's Office did not explain why Foxx recused herself. First Assistant State's Attorney Joseph Magats will act as the state's attorney for this matter, a spokeswoman for Foxx's office said.
Earlier Tuesday, a tip that Smollett was seen on the night of his attack with two brothers who were arrested and later released without charges was deemed "unfounded" by Chicago police, according to CPD spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.
Smollett reported in January that he was attacked by two masked men who hurled racist and homophobic slurs at him, beat him and looped a rope around his neck in Chicago's Streeterville neighborhood.
An unknown person who lived in Smollett's building or was visiting a resident of the building reported seeing the three men together in an elevator in the building on the night in question, Guglielmi said.
The tip was not supported by video evidence obtained by detectives, Guglielmi tweeted Tuesday evening.
Hours earlier, the brothers and their lawyer were seen at the Leighton Criminal Court Building. The attorney was seen leaving about 3:45 p.m. without comment. Chicago police told ABC News that the brothers met with prosecutors and police but did not testify before a grand jury Tuesday.
On Monday, a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation told ABC News that the brothers told police that Smollett staged the attack on himself because he was upset a threatening letter he received a week prior did not get enough attention.
Detectives are actively investigating the allegation, but have not confirmed it to be true, the official said.

Chicago police said this weekend that they are "eager" to re-interview Smollett after releasing the two brothers, who were initially identified as persons of interest in the alleged attack. A spokeswoman for Smollett said his attorneys are talking to police.
The brothers, who are not considered suspects in the attack, also told police that they were paid to stage the attack, the official said.
"We are not racist. We are not homophobic and we are not anti-Trump. We were born and raised in Chicago and are American citizens," the brothers said in a statement.

Chicago police are investigating whether "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett may have staged his attack on Jan. 29 in Chicago.
The FBI and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service are investigating the letter, which was sent to the Chicago studio for "Empire" on Jan. 22, and whether Smollett played a role in sending the letter, two federal officials confirmed to ABC News. The letter is currently in the FBI crime lab for analysis, according to one of those sources.
The accusation, made by the brothers who were persons of interest, has not been confirmed.
Last week, Smollett sat down with Good Morning America's Robin Roberts and spoke about the letter.
"Just because on the letter, it had a stick figure hanging from a tree with a gun pointing towards it with the words that said, 'Smollett, Jussie, you will die, black (expletive),'" Smollett said. "There was no address, but the return address said in big, red, you know, like caps, 'MAGA.' Did I make that up too?"
