    • Use all that money you got young man ..bullies love the bully but they don’t like to get bullied.

    • In my city there is cameras on almost every corner… you can do the crime and they going to follow you all the way back to your front door.

    • +FLOWER .. and he should be able to continue to.. he got the money.. use it. I hope they get caught and he hit them in the pockets.. I know I shouldn’t say break the law but I’m quite sure there is somebody that could use the money to give them their just desserts.

    • They film in Chicago all the time, he is probably comfortable going out by himself…then this happens ๐Ÿคท

    • like someone said above,if they filmed it you wouldve said, “why they filming instead of helping,ugh humanity nowadays ๐Ÿ™„”

    • And the attackers took the time to bring along a jug of bleach and a noose????
      Good thing they yelled out “Maga” because we wouldn’t have known to blame Donald Trump for this!!!
      STOP BELIEVING EVERYTHING YOU HEAR!!!

    • Well if it just happened, the police are not going to release everything just yet. They could very well have film

    • +Harvey Martin death threats were recently mailed to the studio, perhaps these guys stalked him? Otherwise you’re saying after he was beat up he dragged himself to a hardware store at 2 am (with broken ribs mind you) bought a rope and bleach then doused himself and tied a noose around his neck. Yeah that makes total sense

  1. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ omg praying for you Jesse! You are great thatโ€™s why they hate you! Peace and โค๏ธ

  2. Did Blac Chyna go Super Saiyan 3 on Kid Buu or did she need a hoe ritual to become Super Thot God?!

  3. I don’t understand why he doesn’t have security get well soon jussie that’s so messed up

    • Willing to pay hundreds of dollars per hour to have them follow you around for protection? Some people, celeb or not don’t got it like that. Security guards or not, that’s no excuse for him to be beaten up like that. Stop blaming the victim. ๐Ÿ˜

  4. Smh sick. Let’s see if the LGBT Trump supporters will speak on this. They like to fight everything else full force so the better keep that same spirit

    • +Margaret Gust people like you said the same thing when that whacked out Trump supporter was mailing bombs to prominent democrats. You all called it a hoax even your beloved Fox News and guess what, it turned out to be exactly what it appeared to be. Another deranged Trump nut wanting to hurt people. But I bet you probably still think that was a hoax.

  5. Omg no!!!!!!!! Prayers!!!!!!!๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”

  6. They wore maga caps with ski masks??? Something is off about this story but I hope he gets better.

    • Could be an identity decoy. He seems to be targeted, by someone, they could be throwing off their real identity

    • But no one said they were wearing “MAGA Hats” though…..they yelled “maga country” when fleeing. Pay attention this is how fake news starts

  7. Prayers to Jussie Smollett, and protect him and his family.

    Wait…

    Kid Buu……? He so we’re not going to act like this dude out here with a Dragon Ball Z name?

  8. Most subways stores have camera’s. So look for that to leek. Chicago’s got cameras everywhere. Wait and see before saying hoax guys.

  9. I am predicting this is another bogus story to stir up racial tension and hate against the President and people of this country. I mean come on how many cliches can happen in one attack, noose,bleach,maga hats, masks and a letter sent with cut out letters threatening him days before? If it was a legit attack at all and not just Hollywood theatrics with hired actors, I mean who carries all that crap around to attack someone, talk about bringing attention to yourself

    • +Queen Tron It was one nutty guy, not MAGA “supporters” and the bombs were fake.Liberal Democrats actually shot and almost killed several members of Congress playing baseball, so.

    • Yeah, who knew people are capable of beating someone and hanging them based on their color? That’s never happened before, all those craziest died a looonnngg time agoo

    • shelliemarie Lmfao lies per usual. there have been multiple incidents involving maga assholes. Everyone can see magas are scared, weak, racist, narcissistic, stagnant, idiots who can’t handle poc, lgbt, or being educated. They’re the true snowflakes. and when your guy finally sells you out and runs off with the money TRUST you will be finally crushed. gtfo with your compartmentalized cognitive dissidence.

  10. I’m going to wait for the facts on this, two white men just happened to target him? If I’m wrong I’m sorry but this story is fishy. Smells like another Covington rush

  11. Likely fake news. I wouldnโ€™t necessarily even believe it if it was filmed since heโ€™s an actor.
