| Drudge is going to milk this controversy. |
The gay news right wing agitator Matt Drudge decided to make this one shine.
The far-white are seething with this one. It seems like Empire actor Jussie Smollett will no longer engage conversation with the Chicago Police. Smollett, upset after a racist letter sent to the show's studio didn't get a "bigger reaction," is suspected of paying two men to attack him a week later, according to multiple sources with direct knowledge of the investigation.
Smollett, 36 year old is openly gay and one of the main characters on the hit Fox drama.
The incident that happen last month. Smollett was served a knuckle style chili near his home.
Smollett told police that he was attacked outside his apartment building by two white men in ski masks who made racial and homophobic slurs, and used their hands, feet, and teeth as weapons in the assault. According to a statement released by the Chicago Police Department, the two suspects then "poured an unknown liquid" on Smollett and put a noose around his neck.
Smollett said that he fought them off. Smollett was admitted to Northwestern Memorial Hospital; not seriously injured, he was released "in good condition" later that morning, still early. The police were called after 2:30 AM; when they arrived around 2:40 AM, Smollett had a white rope around his neck.
The entertainer went to the hospital and the Chicago Police went to investigate the attack.
According to Smollett, the two individuals that served him and shouting homophobic slurs towards him. They tried to bleach him and land a pretty neck tie on him.
The police determined that was a hate crime.
The got recent footage of two men walking in the area near the attack. They detained the two and then released them to the streets. The two men claimed that they were involved in a staged act.
The two men claimed that Smollett paid them $5000 each to attack him. The two men, Ola and Abel Osundairo — staged the attack.
In a joint statement, they said: "We are not racist. We are not homophobic and we are not anti-Trump. We were born and raised in Chicago and are American citizens."

Smollett went to GMA to tell the world that he was a victim of crime.
The note was crafted with letters apparently cut out from magazines to form words. The pieced-together message contained racial and homophobic threats directed at Smollett. A magazine is one of the pieces of evidence retrieved from the brother’s home last week during a search conducted by CPD. Investigators also recovered a book of stamps.

When asked about the letter in a televised interview last week, Smollett said, "On the letter, it had a stick figure hanging from a tree with a gun pointing toward it." It also had "MAGA" — reference to Trump's campaign slogan Make America Great Again – written as the return address.
"In due course all the facts will reveal themselves, and at the end of the day, my clients are honest and credible," the brothers' attorney Gloria Schmidt said.
Chicago police later told ABC News: "Police are investigating whether the two individuals committed the attack—or whether the attack happened at all."
