There is evidence that reportedly supports embattled actor Jussie Smollett—and that disputes allegations he paid two brothers $3,500 to help stage his Jan. 29 hate attack, Page Six noted, citing TMZ.
A check showing that amount and made payable from the Empire star’s account to one of the men, Abimbola Osundairo, also has “5 week Nutrition/Workout program (Don’t Go)” written in the memo line. “Don’t Go” is the song for which Smollett was going to film a music video.
Also, some texts between Smollett and Abimbola in the days before the attack involved a workout/nutrition program.
However, Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said on the national talk show Good Morning America on Feb. 25 that authorities have additional evidence against Smollett.
Smollett is charged with felony disorderly conduct for allegedly filing a false police report. Smollett surrendered to authorities at 5 a.m. in Chicago on Feb. 21. Judge John Fitzgerald Lyke Jr. released Smollett on $100,000 bail after scolding him while noting that the actor is presumed innocent.
