TeeRoy's 2 C:
- Things are not looking good for Jussie.
- Seems Jussie went about this like he was putting shooting a scene forEmpire.
- He was probably better off the camera didn't catch the "attack." It could have incriminated him further.
- The brothers might not have broken any laws. Jussie is the one who filed the police report.
Jussie Smollett rehearsed his attack days before the alleged incident, sources tellTMZ.
Abel and Ola Osundairo reportedly told investigators that they drove around Chicago with the Empire star to scout a location. The brothers said Jussie picked a spot near his apartment because he thought a security camera would captured the action. It did not, since the camera was pointed in the wrong direction.
According to sources, the brothers said the actor wanted the attack to be a "physical thing," but not to the point he'd be seriously hurt.
We also have a possible motive for why Jussie may have staged the attack. A week before the incident, a letter threatening the star was sent to the studio where Empire is filmed. A source tells CBS Chicago, “When the letter didn’t get enough attention, he concocted the staged attack.”
Meanwhile, TMZ says a grand jury was set to hear testimony tomorrow (Tuesday) "targeting the actor, for allegedly filing a false police report." But there's a good chance it will be delayed a few days as police build a case for indictment.
