The Empire producers have decided to cut Jussie Smollett from the last couple episodes of the show. A hard choice to make, but public pressure and complaints from cast and crew have forced their hand. Fox put out a press release saying…
“The events of the past few weeks have been incredibly emotional for all of us. Jussie has been an important member of our EMPIRE family for the past five years and we care about him deeply. While these allegations are very disturbing, we are placing our trust in the legal system as the process plays out.”
See the scrum coming out of his court date yesterday…
Looks like they won’t make the decision to fire until they see what his punishment is. If the Judge giving him a $100,000 bond on a charge of filing a false police report is any indication, Jussie Smollett is probably going to have the entire book thrown at him for this one. The world is waiting to see how it all turns out, and so are we.
Until the next time it drips…
