OH MY! #Empire’ Star Jussie Smollet Hospitalized in a Racist, Homophobic Attack by ‘#MAGA Supporters’ had Bleach Poured on Him! Report
"Empire" star Jussie Smollett was hospitalized after being attacked by two men who brutally beat him, poured bleach on him, wrapped a rope around his neck, and told him, "This is MAGA country," according to TMZ and a police statement.
TMZ described the two attackers as "MAGA supporters," which is what some die-hard fans of President Donald Trump are called.
"Sources directly connected to Jussie tell TMZ, the actor arrived in Chicago from New York late Monday, and at around 2 AM he was hungry and went to a Subway," TMZ reports. "We're told when he walked out, someone yelled, 'Aren't you that f***ot 'Empire' n*****?'"
Smollett suffered a fractured rib. He was treated and released by a local hospital.
We have a statement from the Chicago Police Dept. which describes the incident as a "possible racially-charged assault and battery" that they are treating "as a possible hate crime."
"Sources via The Root also claim the Empire actor recently received a threatening letter in the mail with 'You will die black fag,' written in disturbing ransom-style cutout letters,"
