Jussie Smollett’s brother Jojo Smollett, the eldest of the Smollett siblings, is now speaking out in defense of his brother claiming “IT HAS NOT YET BEEN 90 DAYS!”

Read on to see what Jojo Smollett has to say about his brother Jussie Smollett and the alleged attack in Chicago…

CelebNMusic247.com report that Jojo Smollett has penned an open letter for BET detailing more about his brother.

Jojo Smollett states that he can’t believe Jussie Smollett would never do such a horrible thing as lying about the attack.

He starts off saying:

IT HAS NOT YET BEEN 90 DAYS since my younger brother, Jussie Smollett, was assaulted on a cold winter night in Chicago.

He adds:

Within less than three months, his life has been turned upside down as my family and I have witnessed him endure unrelenting attacks to his character and reputation. Like so many others, this entire process quickly devolved from a focus on him as a victim of assault, to him being falsely accused and held responsible for a crime that was perpetrated against him. To define this experience as unjust would be an understatement.

Then Jojo weighs in on the Chicago PD and the multiple false report leaks:

After several leaks from “unnamed” police sources and despite a long history of wrongful accusations from the Chicago Police Department, many in the media accepted these unconfirmed reports as fact. The numerous police leaks, which prompted an internal Chicago Police investigation, convicted Jussie in the court of public opinion before he even entered a courtroom.

Mollett’s brother was shocked as details poured out in the media, especially the one about getting a bigger paycheck.

JoJo says:

I was shocked at how easily everyone accepted the ridiculous motive about Jussie’s career that was promulgated. Jussie had actually begun directing episodes of Empire, which brought additional compensation. He worked out a deal with Fox to own 100% of his music masters, released an album, which lead to a sold-out world tour and he donated every cent of ticket sales to charity,

Then he talks about Jussie maintaining his innocence and how the prosecution had built a weak case against his brother.

JoJo goes on to recap some FACTS about the incident:

JUSSIE WAS BOOKED, arrested and has maintained his innocence the entire time. Following an evaluation by prosecutors, before any court proceedings or a trial, the case was dismissed – dropped completely. I think that they, being legally trained and experienced, determined that the case against Jussie was weak. There were lots of things that came out in public to give them concern. After the initial reporting about a “check” paid to allegedly stage the incident, which turned out to have been a check for personal training and nutrition, other inconsistencies came out where the public accusations did not match up against the truth.
