Jussie Smollett Testifies He Did Hard Drugs, Went Clubbing And To Bathhouse With Accused Attacker

“Empire” star Jussie Smollett took the stand in his own defense trial Monday, providing lurid details to the jury regarding how he became acquainted with his accused attackers.

Brothers Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo were accused by Smollett of attacking him on a January 2019 night as part of an alleged hate crime. Smollett originally said the brothers targeted the celebrity because he was gay and black. Smollett has maintained he was attacked by the two African brothers walking home from the sandwich shop Subway, where they assaulted him and hung a noose around his neck chanting, “This is MAGA country.”

Following a police report, Chicago authorities suspected that Smollett staged the entire ordeal as part of a hate crime hoax. As a result, Smollett is now being charged with felony disorderly conduct and filing a false police report.

Fox News National correspondent Matt Finn reported Monday that Smollett took the stand in his own case.

As to how he met the Osundairo brothers, Smollett testified that the “first night he met Bola Osundairo they did weed and cocaine together then went to a club. Then went to a bath house together.” – READ MORE
