”In a scathing rebuke, Chicago Police officials asserted Thursday that actor Jussie Smollett set up a hate crime hoax on Jan. 29 because he was “dissatisfied with his salary” on the Fox series “Empire.”
Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson presided over a press conference on Thursday morning after Smollett turned himself in to police to face a charge of filing a false police report. Johnson told reporters he was angered by what he described as Smollett’s “smear” of the city where “Empire” is filmed by claiming he was the victim of a vicious hate crime spurred by racism and homophobia.”
”Smollett has maintained his innocence, vehemently denying that he had any connection with the attack. Police made it clear on Thursday that they have no doubt that he orchestrated the incident. Representatives for Smollett could not be reached for comment.”
”The brothers provided police with the information that Smollett set up the faux attack because he was unhappy with this salary, Johnson said.”
