Jussie Smollett was a no-show at the NAACP Image Awards. He had hinted that he would be there sinc he was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. He lost to Jessie Williams (Grey’s Anatomy,)
Chris Rock was told not to do any Jussie Smollett jokes. But he did them anyway.
Saturday Night Live also took a crack at Jussie Smollett.
It doesn’t look like his under the table deal worked out very well for him. Nor did is screaming, like Trump after the Mueller report, about being fully vindicated. Or his demands for an apology from the police department.
So far all that has gotten him is a civil lawsuit from the City of Chicago. This will most likely result in all of those documents he wanted sealed becoming unsealed. Actually, some already have been provided to the press through open records laws. But the civil suit will likely make public the video tapes of his false statements. Those will surely go viral.
Isn’t it ironic that Jussie Smollett set up a hoax that implicated Trump supporters and in the end, he is acting just like the president he despises?
Never loved Chris more!!!
Truly looking forward to all those records being made public. Even if the courts can’t judge him I’d like to get a good look at the evidence for myself.
I love Chris! Love him even more now
SNL skewered him pretty good, too.
Best actor in a farce goes to?
Chris Rock really needs to do another tour, he is so damn funny.
Good on Chris. He had the nerve to say what everyone else is thinking — well, almost everyone except that idiot Wendy Wiiliams, but she’s out of her mind right now, so maybe she gets a pass. LOTS of other people didn’t buy Jussie’s story because it makes no sense. Left home at 2 AM to buy a Subway sandwich when it’s 10 below outside? Supposedly attacked in public but no surveillance footage can be found on any camera in the area he swears it happened? I mean, Jussie must think the police are idiots. I’m glad the chief spoke after Jussie was cut loose to let everyone know that the cops STILL don’t believe him. Stupid Jussie thinks that insufficient evidence to prosecute proves him innocent. What a moron!
Smollets career is ovuh! Love Chris Rock. He’ll skewer anyone.
So funny! Did you see the SNL skit? It was hilarious!
Looks up. Yep. It’s right up there.
Thanks TT for covering the latest development in the Jussie Smollett fiasco. So glad to see Chris Rock made fun of him. I cant wait for those tapes to go viral!
What I find especially ridiculous is that the host of the NAACP awards show and some other celebrity who I cant remember are still in full support of Jussie. They said something along the lines of “it’s not my place to judge; I’m happy the charges were dropped and this whole thing worked out for him”. What a crock of shit.
Clearly, there are a lot of people who believe anything people who speak loudly and with authority say no matter what the actual facts are. I believe the next chapter of this form of deception it looking for the real killer, noose wielding trump supporter, Russian colluder, etc.
Except Trump had truth on his side.
Up his backside maybe. That is where he stores it! He hasnt seen the truth since God was a boy
Avalanche, It’s so sad that Dems in this country can’t accept defeat. What’s more sad is they whine and com-plain and spread false narratives to the point our country is now divided. I blame Hollywood, CNN MSNBC, and the people who believe them. Just my opinion,
I’m not sure what you think you have won. Or why you believe in a Reality Star that lied his way into office and lies all day and bullies all day on Twitter. But if wanted a racist, bigot, misogynist liar in the oval. Congrats on your “WIN” It’s terrifying for the rest of us that you think this President is acceptable in any way.
Beets:
Fox just said there were “3 Mexican countries”
and at CPAC last month they shouted “lock her up”
sooooo…. acceptance and truth is what your preaching????
I’m throwing in dumb on the Reps side
Love Sandra Oh and hope Killing Eve returns
Speaking of Trumps lies, I personally think there is something wrong with him mentally, for example the amount of times he said the word Oranges instead of Origins, I mean I can see you making a simple blunder of words there, but only once, he did it repeatedly, you would think someone on his side would have given him a nudge and corrected him, but no such luck he just kept saying the same word in place of the correct one. Then there was his blatant lie of where his father was born, for some reason he decided now that he would let people know that his dad was born there when in reality he was born in the Bronx, he kept lying about this which is astounding to me, when he knows factcheckers will be going hard on this one, mind you most people by now would already know where his mother and father were born, maybe they should have told old Donnie of this fact, because for some reason, maybe he wants to believe he was born there otherwise someone needs to pull this man off the stage now and get him checked out because he is losing it… severely. There is nothing that the republicans can say to make this one go away, their leader and chief is telling outright lies, what are you all going to do about it, probably the usual, absolutely nothing. Lying must be the new thing, as everyone seems to be doing it, but they are doing it and acting like they actually believe their lies, which is the craziest thing going on atm. How bout we all practice telling the truth, making it happen like it is the normal thing to do, and who knows it may catch on, and this was Jussie and anyone who thinks of following him down this road will stop themselves before it is too late to come back from. Just a thought, as it is hard on all of us who have to decide who we are going to believe, as well no more giving the benefit of the doubt just because we have watched them grow up, and they just wouldn’t do such a thing… but obvious there are these people out there that we do watch and could never imagine them lying, well think again.
