Jussie Smollett Admits To Drug Problem to Police

Empire star Jussie Smollett has been released on $100,000 dollar bail in which he surrendered his passport as part of his bail conditions and posted 10% of his total bail to be released from custody.

Jussie Smollett is also subjected to pre-trial monitoring as part of his bail conditions, but new details have surfaced once again. Read on…

CelebNMusic247.com has the latest developments from the courthouse where Jussie Smollett went through bond court at 1:30 PM CT. He will not enter a plea.

TMZ reports:

Jussie Smollett has just been released from custody into a mob of reporters, security and police officers at 1:45 PM PT. He got in a black SUV and quickly left the courthouse.

At 2:10 PM PT, Jussie told police, during his arrest, he has a drug problem … one for which he’s never been treated. That could become relevant later in the case because, as we reported, cops say Jussie bought ecstasy from Abel. IF – a BIG IF he were convicted, a drug issue could be a mitigating factor that gets his sentenced reduced.

According to docs, Smollett also answered “no” to alcohol or mental health problems.

One of the conditions of his bail calls for him to have no contact with Ola and Abel Osundairo or their family members.
