Convicted Hate Crime Hoaxer, Jussie Smollett Goes On Insane Rant About How Innocent He Is

Convicted felon and world renown hate crime hoaxer, Jussie Smollett did an interview on Sway’s SiriusXM show on Wednesday and went on a bizarre rant on his innocence over his conviction where he staged a fake attack by Trump supporters.

Jussie Smollett was found guilty of felony disorderly conduct in December 2021 for allegedly staging a hate crime. The openly gay actor, who was starring on Empire at the time, has maintained his innocence since the alleged attack took place in January 2019.

Even so, he spent six days in jail on what was supposed to be a 150-day sentence, but he appealed. In a new interview, Smollett opened up about the public ridicule he faced as a result of the controversy. He again denied staging an attack.

“If I had done this, I’d be a piece of s***. And I don’t think that’s really questionable,” Smollett argued on Sway’s SiriusXM show on Wednesday. “If I had done something like this, it would mean that I stuck my fist in the pain of black African Americans in this country for over 400 years.”

“If I had done this, I’d be a piece of shit,” he told hosts Sway Calloway and Heather B. “And I don’t think that that’s really questionable […] Again, it’s something I wanted to say. If I did something like this, it would mean I stuck my fist in the pain of Black Americans in this country for over 400 years. We’re not even talking about in Africa because that’s an even deeper, larger conversation. It would mean that I stuck my first in the fears of the LGBTQ community all over the world.

“I’m not that mother fucker. Never have been. Don’t need to be. Didn’t need to have some sort of rise in his career. I was on the up and up. […] There would be no reason for me to do some dumb, corny shit like that. But people are going to believe what they’re going to believe.”
