CelebNMusic247.com reports that despite the support of Empire star of Taraji P Henson who NEVER believed the “clickbait reports,” Jussie Smollett has been ordered to pay $130K.
Jussie Smollett is being ordered to pay $130,000 to the City of Chicago in relation to allegations that he staged a hate crime on himself.
TMZ reports:
The Chicago Corporation Counsel, who handles civil claims for the City sent a letter to Jussie demanding he pays the $130,000, to compensate for the overtime pay for police who investigated his case.
The City is demanding “immediate payment” within seven days, and if the 36-year-old actor doesn’t hand over the cash, the Corporation Counsel vows to “prosecute you for making a false statement under the Municipal Code of Chicago.”
Meanwhile, Taraji P Henson who stars as Cookie Lyon on Empire had this to say about her TV son Jussie Smollett.
Henson explains:
When I know someone, there’s nothing you can say to make me flip on them, and that’s what we miss in this world.
She adds:
We need people that stand by us. Whatever happened to that? Why are we so easy to believe strangers over people we know?
Taraji states:
I’m not going to jump on clickbait just because someone says something derogatory about a person I know and love. I’m not easily swayed like that. Those little clickbait [reports] weren’t enough to deter me from his immaculate track record. I know the type of activism this young man does in his community, I know that he’s a giver – he’s not an attention-seeker.
