[ Eye Roll ] Jussie Smollett claims he’s only in jail because he’s black

PM: Following Jussie Smollett’s sentencing late last week, the former “Empire” actor is claiming that the reason he’s been sent to jail for 150 days is because he is black.

Sources with direct knowledge and in touch with the convicted actor told TMZ that Smollet had expected to get jail time, solely because of the color of his skin.

e reportedly told his defense team prior to the sentencing that he felt he would be treated more harshly than others convicted of non-violet crime because of this point, believing it’s evidence of systemic racism in the judicial system.

According to TMZ, Smollett reportedly told his legal team following the sentencing hearing that his prediction was spot on, based on the animosity the judge showed toward him, calling it “unfortunate” and “sad.”

Immediately prior to hearing his jail sentence, Smollett broke out into yells of “I am not suicidal,” and proclaiming his innocence. read more

  1. “claiming that the reason he’s been sent to jail for 150 days is because he is black.”

    I have to agree with him on that one.
    A white man would have drawn some more serious time.

  2. Can’t remember last time a White Gay man was convicted of faking a Hate Crime trying to falsely blame an entire Race, so I guess there’s not much to compare his sentence to . Yeah, it’s just because he’s black and incredibly stupid.

  3. These morons who fake “hate crimes” don’t realize they are actually setting back race relations and giving credence to the increasing white suspicion of blacks.

  4. I was right on the protective custody deal…..

    So my next prediction is…… parole violation.

    C’mon. Dude has felony parole for 30 months. No way he’s gonna’ NOT screw up. That’s 2 and a half YEARS of drug tests and random visits to your house.

  5. Picture Mr. Bean going to a Kentucky fried chicken in Billings, Montana At 2:00 AM and making it back to his condo where he called police. When police arrived there is an undisturbed bucket of KFC on his Quartz countertop and Mr. Bean has some kite string tied around his neck. He’s telling the police about Obama country and two menacing blacks…

  6. Lying Juicey Smuggett is race baiting for more attenion. He better be more concerned about his acting career. If being a terrible actor was a crime, he certainly should be in jail for that alone.
    His awful “close up”, drama queen, tantrum-inspired performance was pathetic and displayed characteristics of a complete narcissist butthole.

  7. His sentence was not harsh enough. He’ll play his game without ever being honest with himself or the good Lord.

    It’s sad when you run across a committed liar that never comes clean. Best to avoid them if you can.

    He needs to be surrounded by brutally honest people, but that’ll never happen. Too many people support his BS because they want the same thing. Fake racial strife is all they have now.

  8. Talk about a “bad actor”!

    No Jessie, you’re only in jail because YOU ARE STUPID. And the only reason you didn’t get more time is because you’re black.

  9. Who didn’t know this was fake from the get-go? When the police came he still had the string noose around his neck. What kind of person would leave that there if it really happened. Drama mama would.
