Jussie's Nigerians break silence. Say actor wanted to be 'poster child for activism'

He’s still trying to act like Maya Angelou on his Instagram.

Lol...

Jussie still denying it was a hoax in 5, 4, 3 . . .

I haven't thought about Jussie in months.

I suspect I'm not alone in that,

Is Jussie in jail or not?

The screams DL.

The Jussie Smollett hoax was one of the few times that DL redeemed itself. It was great that people here quickly discerned that the story was bullshit, even while the media was falling for it, hook line and sinker. Unfortunately, there are too many other official lines about other things that too many DLers swallow whole. I wish people would let go of political orthodoxy and apply the same logical skepticism as they did with Smollett.

Angela Bassett will finally get her Oscar when she plays Jussie in the upcoming movie.

Jussie should be in the psych ward of some prison.

I felt like I’d deduced an Agatha Christie whodunit when I concluded right after it happened that this was staged. My mother was the opposite & fell hook, line, & sinker until she learned the white supremacists were 2 black brothers who both knew Jussie.

Do they talk about who sucked and fucked whom in the gay sauna?

Staging a hoax hate should be its own category in the DSM-5. After all, Jussie is hardly the only one. One seems to be staged somewhere in America every week.

Jussie’s still an asshole.

After 2 Nigerians? He's a blown out asshole.

[quote]five-part series

This doesn't merit a five-part series.

Lmfao. Hope this clown never works again.

R15 I also thought that was a bit excessive!

I can see how it could be a 5 parter: 1. The pre-planning, 2. the execution, 3. the media tour, 4. the getting rumbled, 5. the court case.

[quote]The Jussie Smollett hoax was one of the few times that DL redeemed itself. It was great that people here quickly discerned that the story was bullshit

They didn't, though. It was the usual racist assholes who say EVERYTHING is a hoax, and every so often, they're going to be right, simply because we live in a time where a lot of grifters and mentally ill people are online, getting attention and money from fake tragedies.

The vast majority of alleged "clues" that DLers were focused on were either lies or mistakes, like "that Subway wasn't even open" when it was, or "that wasn't even bleach poured on him" when it was.

I remember saying that the most suspicious thing, to me, was someone in Chicago of all places saying "you're in MAGA country" and getting yelled at by about 100 people (i.e. one person with a shit ton of sock puppets) saying that never happened. They weren't defending Jussie, they were just mad because I didn't believe their crazy weird conspiracy theory that sounded more than a little Q-adjacent.

God, the threads were a mess.

You're just mad because you wanted it to be true, aren't you, r19?

nah, we called out the garage door slur lezbeans.

There is absolutely no point in rehashing this nonsense if no one share the infamous and fabulous naked photo in the mirror at the bathroom sink! Now that's the cock of a poster child!! No wonder Tyler Perry is smitten.

You mean the door pull in the Nascar driver's garage, r21? Twitter called it first. (That happens a lot, DLers don't use social media much so when someone repeats what they saw on Twitter over here, all the old folks think we "broke" the news.)

Everyone was pretty skeptical of that, once they realized it was on the door handle and not just hanging randomly inside a garage.

Or if the brothers don't admit they were his boytoys, r22, and I doubt they will.

I'm still gobsmacked by the whole thing - every aspect of the story is shocking - including his continual insistence that he's innocent. He is seriously fucked up.

Remember the end when he shouted to the court "I AM NOT SUICIDAL!!!!!!"

[quote]That happens a lot, DLers don't use social media much so when someone repeats what they saw on Twitter over here, all the old folks think we "broke" the news.

Yes, that's cringe-making, along with declaring "DL sleuths do it again!" when someone posts the first thing they found using a Google search.

Jussie has xl calibre to destroy their holes, as well. Mutually assured destruction.

He wrote them a check?

AND shortchanged them.

no nascar. some suburban lezbeans among many others.

Could he not lay hands on a few thousand in cash? Who commits a crime and then writes a check to pay the accomplices?

R15 Does it merit 5 parts? No.

Will I watch all 5 parts and gleefully giggle throughout? Yes.

R31 Jerry Springer when he was Mayor of Cincinnati. Paid a prostitute with a check and she immediately came forward..

LOL, r33. That's unreal - and hilarious.

[quote] ‘𝒀𝒐, 𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒅. 𝑾𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒊𝒕,’" Bola recounted in the five-part series. "Now we've secured the payment of our $500 that he owes us..."

Is that how he talks? The first line sound like a regular bro on the street, the second line sounds like a British professor.

[quote]Black and LGBTQ+ communities would have been outraged.

And neither were.

r35 Nigerians are taught an incredibly high standard of English in their schools. Higher than anything taught in America or in Britain now.

[quote]Lmfao. Hope this clown never works again.

Stunned. Simply stunned.

What a shockingly brave and insightful thing to post. I'm sure none of us considered this point of view before you posted. Please, don't hold back. What other pearls will drop from your beautiful mind into future DL pronouncements like this?

scam the public in a field of a public microscope?

and this is legal. not like bearding.

fuck the freak.

If you pay attention to hoaxes (especially “bias” incidents), you’ll notice that egregious and overt slurs are a hallmark of one. Carving words into a person or hanging a noose on them, burning a cross; that’s overegging the pudding and these crazy fakers can’t help themselves. Real haters don’t bother.

I literally forgot about this guy.

This reminds me of that incident on the bus when Rosa Parks, who wanted to be a poster child for activism, paid the driver James Blake $5 to yell at her.

r31: A ditzy dumbass bottom, that's who.

Well, James Blake had her arrested, r42, so I'm not certain that makes sense. Source?

[quote] The vast majority of alleged "clues" that DLers were focused on were either lies or mistakes, like "that Subway wasn't even open" when it was, or "that wasn't even bleach poured on him" when it was.

The point is that people didn’t just accept Smollett’s account or the media and other’s reaction to it. Working through possible “clues”:is always going to be messy, but the initial and most fundamental hurdle is a willingness not to accept that a news story is true.

I hope they get into his family and the lies, activism fetish and persecution/martyr complexes

They got angry when he tried to pay them off with an EBT card.

R19 is really trying to rewrite history

I see that our resident activists are still smarting that he was caught in his lie. They loved his narrative and so much wanted him to get away with it.

This nothing burger is a 5-part series because this is Fox News

I think Jussie's story ought to be turned into a comic book, with jussie having the superpower of being able to lie at any time, under any circumstance, with a straight face.

Or, better, a weepy face

STILL waiting for the Nigerians' sex tape.

[quote] other things that too many DLers swallow whole.

You say that like a bad thing.

[quote] with jussie having the superpower of being able to lie at any time, under any circumstance, with a straight face.

There's nothing straight about that face

It was such a stupid action. Why in the hell would Jussie do that??

I remember as the story was breaking and MurMur was redlining critics, deleting threads left and right, Yassss Kweens were screaming “RACIST!” at anyone who dared question the authenticity. Not much has changed here. You will comply with the anti-white male agenda!

R38 = Jussie Smollett.

r51 There is nothing more hilarious and entertaining than White dudes, very obviously, terrified to say what they're thinking about someone from a marginalized group.

The stuttering. The hollow and half-hearted support of his story. I mean, good sirs, most of us (his own damn people) were saying he was on some bullshit. But it was mostly amongst ourselves in our own circles. People in my circle were clowninig his ass as soon as the story came out. No one believed that shit except straight, White, progressives. Pure comedy.

[quote]This nothing burger is a 5-part series because this is Fox News

It's not a nothingburger, but the fact that Fox is producing this and obviously padding it out is a huge red flag. Just watch, one episode is going to be entirely about Obama, for no reason whatsoever.

FTA: ““You must be a Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer, or a Disgrace to the family…”

r55 His good friend Kamala had proposed an anti-lynching bill, but had no lynchings to report. I suspect he though he could inure himself with her brand of political power if he could, just before the presentation of this bill, provide an example of actual modern lynching. Just a theory.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I forgot Kamala’s role in all that mess!

Jussie's transgressions and lies have left us broken and unable to trust others.

The trauma he left in his wake may never go away.

Everyone in Chicago knew it was a hoax and called it out on social media as soon as it hit the press. Black people in Chicago know damn well, white supremacists would not recognize a D-list actor from a predominately black soap opera like Empire nor would they be walking around in the freezing arctic-level cold of Chicago to initiate a hate crime against a nobody. It was hilarious how much the media tried to convince the public of this charade.

I'm very annoyed at how he ruined his own career for this parade of narcissism. He wanted to profit off some victimhood despite being a good-looking light-skinned guy who benefited from nepotism (his sister is Jurnee Smollett). His whole career is from a colorist, self-hating Black man like Lee Daniels. Jussie was delusional about his level of fame or talent.

I was the first, or one of the first, to say out and out it was a hoax. The story simply didn't ring true, and had too many of the hallmarks of fake attacks we've seen before. Morton Downey, Jr., Twanna Brawley, that dumb bitch who tried to say Obama supporters attacked her, and wrote a backwards B on her forehead- the details of those stories had many similarities to Jussie's.

And, for some reason, fake attacks often include bleach. Meanwhile, I've never heard of an actual attack that involved bleach.

Anyway,. I was pilloried by the DL community for being a Trump supporter, a racist, ect. It was ugly for a day or so, until people came around. BTW I fucking HATE- HATE Trump. And racists.

What a fucking asshole Jussie was/is. Just go away already. He’s a moron.

Kamala Harris and Jane Fonda swallowed all the lies.

He benefits from colorism, pretty privilege and nepotism. He got famous on a trashy soap opera that was infamous for reinforcing every negative Black streeotype. So how exactly could he be an activist?

Does anyone else here remember the thread that was suspected to have been started by Jussie? Something about writing a ransom note?

So where is this mirror selfie? I don't think I ever saw it

I read on the DailyFail that one of the brothers acknowledged visiting gay bath houses with Jussie but denied that they masturbated together. Link is below 👇

See part about relationships with Jussie

For r72.

I don't understand how these two are waking free, isn't faking a crime a crime? At least fine them for wasting police resources or something.

He should link up with Meghan Markle, they’re both Tragic Mulatto Stunt Queens 👯‍♀️

*walking

I still don't get why Jussie was this thirsty. He could have easily been a poster child for activism by legitimate means. Such an odd case. A few people defended him even after the verdict but I think by then the vast majority saw that he really did pathetically attempt to do this. So, I'm not sure why there really needs to be a Fox News special series - especially since that audience never believed Jussie to begin with. If it could all be tied to a Dem politician, I might understand it.

The B-Boy Blues film was released after this - based on the book by James Early Hardy. I actually thought it was really good. It's a black gay film, so it probably wasn't going to do much anyway, but I feel it would have got more press and attention if Jussie wasn't attached to it.

Never forget that Kamala supported him and used this false flag to push through some of her agenda, I have no doubt that Jussie was a small part of a much bigger picture.

The ULTIMATE stunt queen.

LOL @ Jussie’s Nigerians. I could at some point forgive this whole fiasco but it’s the narcissism for me. Like not only did you lie but tried to present yourself as some type of gay Tupac civil rights martyr. Ho please. You are just a good ol fashion sociopath. And the family ought be ashamed.

[quote] And, for some reason, fake attacks often include bleach. Meanwhile, I've never heard of an actual attack that involved bleach.

Yes, I never understood the whole bleach thing either.

I was fucking ROLLING when the one brother said he gave Jussie a nuggie so it would leave a mark!

Selfie looks pretty fluffed

The nuggie was code, he smacked Jussie across the face with his giant cock.

"I don't understand how these two are waking free, isn't faking a crime a crime? At least fine them for wasting police resources or something. "

They probably made a deal to provide information that would help convict Jussie. It happens all the time. "Walking free?" People get lesser charges, probation, suspended sentences, etc., rather than jail time when they help the police with a larger crime. Sometimes even when they don't. Jurisdictions often don't want the expense of imprisoning buffoons like the Nigerians who aren't really a threat to society in any huge way.

What I can't understand is why Jussie can't admit he fucked up. He could have walked away from this years ago, paid his dues and the public likely would have forgot since attention spans are short. But he beat this dead horse nonstop and kept it the news because he's certainly a borderline personality.

I knew it was bullshit when I heard the name Jussie. I bet it killed him that his sister Journey ( not the band) was at the Oscars.

I'll never forget Robin's face during this interview, you could tell she smelt bullshit.

R89, I'm guessing that he's just that delusional and sees some grand comeback if the conviction is overturned, which it won't be. People throw around the label "narcissist" and maybe he is truly a clinical narcissist, or maybe it's something else. There's some DMS-V condition happening.

[quote] with jussie having the superpower of being able to lie at any time, under any circumstance, with a straight face.

No, that's my superpower.

look we know Jussie a lying, pathetic piece of shit

but this is disgusting that the broke ass brothers are speaking to the Fox propaganda machine. Shameful

Fox has used this embarrassing incident to diminish the real experiences of minority and lgbt victims of real hate crimes. They twisted it to say hey we right wingers are the victims of smear campaigns.

Has the cast of the Big Bang Theory commented yet?

[quote] Bola and Ola

No, it's Ola and Bola!

Would love a joint masturbation clip of these two ! Lots of potential there

"You're favorite Nigerian ..."

Your not you're. I think I'm the only person on the planet who consistently makes that mistake. Not that I don't know the difference, but when I'm rushing I just type "you're." Most people make the opposite mistake of using "your" when "you're" is appropriate.

I really wish there was a sex tape of the Nigerians spit-roasting Jussie.

[quote]He should link up with Meghan Markle, they’re both Tragic Mulatto Stunt Queens

Take your Meghan Markle crap to one of the hundreds of threads where it will be appreciated.

But you're cute as hell, r100, so you can get away with it.

"I really wish there was a sex tape of the Nigerians spit-roasting Jussie."

I wonder how gay they are, even though they've never said the word "gay." Like are they "I can get blown by a guy and jack off at the bathhouse." Or are they full on anal, giving blow jobs, etc.

Jussie - just go the fuck away!!!!! You are an idiot.

I get so angry thinking about the fact that he did this.

He and Shaun King have done so much damage. Vile, both of them.

Dear Jussie Smollet - you are an embarrassment to the gay community. You LIED about being attacked. You won’t man up and take responsibility for your lies. FUCK off, asshole!

Jussie is just a product of our celebrity obsessed culture. Our need to be seen as activists and commentators and influencers.

We want the adulation. We want the attention. We want to be seen.

Jussie is us. We are Jussie.

The Meghan Markle crap is appreciated here as another bizarre example of a damn liar who wreaks havoc, cries about it, and then doubles and triples down. Borderline and narcissist, they say.

[quote]Jussie is us. We are Jussie.

Hon, speak for yourself.

I want Jussie to sit on my face.

[quote]The Meghan Markle crap is appreciated here as another bizarre example of a damn liar who wreaks havoc, cries about it, and then doubles and triples down. Borderline and narcissist, they say.

Okay, psycho.

How did this idiot get out after only six days in jail?

[quote] the Nascar driver's garage

The worst part of that story was not only did they find a noose on the man's garage door but also one on his boat

Oh no!!! Jussie!! I have nothing but the fondest memories of you. I'd never been in the presence of anyone who loved sex and coke as much as you! Your lies are as big as your cock. You lie! You abuse public trust. You are present ...ly an embarrassment to the race! Fuck off well!

How's Our Boo Rob been?

Are Bola and Ola cut or uncut?

[quote]Does anyone else here remember the thread that was suspected to have been started by Jussie? Something about writing a ransom note?

Yes, absolutely, that was a very weird coincidence, but I think it turned out that the note was mailed before that thread was started. They're all deleted now so I can't check, but it was weird.

Did Jussie have sex with either of the brothers?

Two weeks ago

𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗲 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻..

Why isn’t this cunt in prison? I can’t believe he is still denying that he was behind the whole thing.

Jussie’s a dumbass. Asshole.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐭

R119 Jussie said they had mutual masturbation and visited bath houses. Mola in the fox interview only acknowledges that he went with him to a bath house.

R124 “I ain’t gay. I just went to the bathhouse with him.”

[quote] The Jussie Smollett hoax was one of the few times that DL redeemed itself. It was great that people here quickly discerned that the story was bullshit,

The string lightly tied as a noose around his neck was a big tipoff.

So was the idea that white supremacists would recognize him from watching "Empire" (!!).

*sigh*

Looks like I was forgotten about yet again.

Childish Gambino's This Is America had been released the previous year. I posit that Jussie loved it, and was turned on by Donald Glover. I think this, and how well it was regarded, and Glover being seen as the purveyor of a socially important message, sent him into a narcissistic sort of rage.

I think this intense jealousy, attraction, and rage eventually prompted him to do what he did. Also, the fact that he's a dim bulb. Thinking he could get away with it in the age of the internet shows some real deficiencies in regard to his intelligence and mental health.

I've always been so baffled by Smollett's decision to do this. How did he think he would get away with it for very long? In fact, I'm amazed that people believed it for as long as the did, especially people whom you would think would be smarter (like Don Lemon). I guess he was just feeding some people a narrative they wanted to hear.

Wasn't this to put him in a better negotiating position for Empire? Which was another stupid idea on Jussie's part. Empire had peaked as a pop culture hit and was already nearing the end when he pulled this stunt.

Double handicapped. Stupid and NPD (histrionic narcissist). Cherry on top? He's not that talented. All he got was looks and a big dick. Wasn't enough. He wanted more.

R129 yeah it's so funny. I honestly don't consider myself to be particularly smart or perceptive. But it was SO clear to me from the start that Jussie's story was bullshit. All the things I mentioned here before- it sounded exactly like stories I'd heard before that turned out to be fake. It didn't sound like any true story I'd heard before. And it was so disturbing to be called racist and a Trump supporter.

I dunno- NOT one of my better DL days, that is for sure.

I believed Jussie.

I am ashamed.

I also believed OJ and Michael at first.

Jamal/Jussie had all the sexy trade tussling over him on Empire. The storylines were so juicy

R133 I guess it's OK to be a trusting person- who doesn't want to believe the worst about people. But what upset me was being dismissed that day as a racist and/or Trump supporter. I LOATHE, fucking LOATHE Trump. And, of course, Jussie only harmed the resistance. Gave the SCUM ammo.

Anyway. Peace, my strangerfriend.

[quote] people whom you would think would be smarter (like Don Lemon).

Oh, my sides!

[quote] people whom you would think would be smarter (like Don Lemon).

uhhuhhh

Why would the fucking Vice President and President go anywhere NEAR that? It's crazy. Aren't there people around them that would nix the idea? Maybe if it was Oprah or somebody huge. But, fucking Jussie Smollett? Just give it some time and let it play out before making a saying anything - though, still, preferably don't say anything. My best guess is that this was during all the heightened race stuff post-George Floyd, with an election coming up, so they virtue signaled and blindly supported Jussie.

r137, Trump initially sent out a tweet supporting him. But you knew that, right?

"Unfortunately, there are too many other official lines about other things that too many DLers swallow whole. I wish people would let go of political orthodoxy and apply the same logical skepticism as they did with Smollett."

Let me guess - you believed Sherri Papini, right? All Republicans wanted to believe she was targeted by evil, racist Latinas

THEY ARE STILL LITERALLY KILLING US! LITERALLY!

[quote] I still don't get why Jussie was this thirsty. He could have easily been a poster child for activism by legitimate means.

Some people get gratification from being deceptive. The deception is the point, the payoff. They feel good when they deceive others. They’d rather make five swindled dollars than earn ten honestly.

I think Jussie wanted to be seen as a victim and the *outrage* on his behalf was the point. He was out for the sympathy. But the deception was probably a side benefit.

Nigerians I’ve known work hard and hustle. One family I know used to send their kid back to Nigeria during summer break. They’d put this 7-year old kid on a plane from NYC to Nigeria all by himself. (He was fine, but it’s shocking to Americans)

Anyway. Remember this?

Lmao

That pic at R143 is classic.

Group virtue signaling at its finest.

Thanks Matt-fatso. Fox suddenly decides to get the opinion of black men.

All white at R143.

White guilt.

Man oh man this Jussie dude had loads more than his non cock size abilities granted & he blew it all for what??

Lucky for him he has a hardworking dumb sister who must be helping him with dough.

He should send some pics & love notes to Geffen.

I have a friend who still stands by Jussie. It's weird.

He was a big fan before the hoax, totally bought the hoax when it happened, and when he was finally forced to accept that it was a hoax, justified it as an understandable response to the horrors of modern American racism and the Trump administration.

There's a sucker born every minute. Jussie was attacked on a freezing night, in a very liberal city by whites wearing MAGA hats? Why would anyone believe that?

It would be like Donald Trump saying he was attacked at 2:00 am in Florida during a hurricane by blacks wearing BLM hats. It's just so unrealistic.

R150's friend reminds me of female friends in my middle school years(yes, I was their token gay, but they loved & protected me from much bullying & beat downs!). No matter how a crush got exposed they stuck by their heart throb(or maybe cunt throb)to the end. The power of lust is strong in that one, R150's friend.

Cunt throb R152? You sound like a jerk who doesn't deserve.friends.

I am NOT suicidal! I AM NOT suicidal! I AM NOT SUICIDAL!!!

The brothers actually gave a play-by-play of everything that went down that night. Wow.

Jussie’s a crazy son of a bitch. And he thought he’d get away with this shit. lololololololololol Asshole.

People should have listened to Dave Chappelle

This is what happens when niggers leave the fields, kitchens, and trees of their master’s house.

There are certain bellwethers I judge people by. One of them is if they fell for Jussie's act. To me it was so obviously fake from the beginning. I never believed him.

Unlike my naive much younger self who fell for Tawanna Brawnley until I read the second article about it in the NY Times that revealed her stepfather had killed a former wife and had an explosive temper.

No shit, r155.

We saw it way back at r123.

r160 FYI, that short clip doesn't play on the desktop version of this site. Therefore, if you're on a computer, you cannot see it.

Welp we have Jussie to thank for letting us see Jesse Williams' huge dick in Take Me Out. Jussie was originally supposed to star in this run of the play, until Subway-gate

Jussie’s Nigerians is going to be the name of my new punk rock band.

Losing the part in Take Me Out just shows us again how stupid Jussie is. Maybe he wasn't the final choice, but he was in the running.

Good morning class, my name is Professor Smollett and I will be lecturing on “How To Crash A Successful Career in 1 Hour”.

I agree. Jussie really had it all going for himself until he fucked up.

And I think you all are giving the Jurnee Smollett nepo thing a bit much. While she is a good actress I dont think she was at a level where she had that much influence.

Their family has been in show business for a long time, which was part of Jussie's resentment that led to him acting like a fool. He felt he deserved more accolades and he hated that his Empire job was interfering with his music career (people weren't into his music anyway)

The only innocent party in all of this was the Subway Sammich.

*sigh*

R155 the Nigerian brothers are fucking around in that video, right? There’s no way they’re such clowns
