This is so embarrassing!!!!
Tmz should hold some blame for immediately posting this as truth…without any investigation, just the lure of an anti trump headline
+HT How?their very first update they pushed the narrative and went with it.that same day within hours I made a video on my channel saying TMZ and Jussie story dont add up and so did the general public agree.TMZ never questioned the validity one point until just now
+Unpopular Thoughts they mostly reported the facts and they might not have been 100% correct but you had to treat Jussie as a victim in the beginning
TMZ reported known facts of the case just like all the other news outlets did.
Explain this to CNN
This was a race senative subject in a rageful divided nation….they should have waited to release until some sort of investigation could be done…the public at large called bs from the jump so my queation is…Harvey didnt have those same questions before he released such a Huge Headline?! C’mon now
Jussie just set the black community back by 50 years
+Traci-Jean Behind Blue Eyes I’m saying most people
He set himself back ALONE. Notice how not even mass shooters set the white race back.
+HT
Oh, I know. I was just saying. Didn’t mean anything by it. π
No, no, no… We will not hold the bag for that. The white liberals was calling this a homosexual attack and anyone white or black who questioned his story was told they were homophobic first… FOH!
No, the gays can have him! lol, take lemon and Obama too.
Ellen Page needs to apologise to the Vice President Pence right now
Jennifer ODell
She said it was Penceβs fault. She needs to apologize for insinuating that the Vice President had anything to do with a made up hate crime.
Vice president needs to apologize to the LGBTQ Community then
+ken Williams why does lgbtqpiaodor community lie about hate crimes?
+HT π did you go brain dead it’s not hard to spell LGBTQ
Jennifer ODell lmao i wanna know where you got these facts from…
So He Was Lying!! π
Well There Goes His Career Down The Drain lmao
+El lee oh
I’m sure they do
More most of them do it for their
Music,TV Show or Movie
He did it for his Song,
That’s probably why he said
He’s the next Pac or Whatever.
doubt it.
He’ll be back.
Go on Oprah for repentance then they’ll welcome him back
This mfer will have a talk show by friday
His career? Hopefully he is arrested.
What if this is all just a giant movie that weβre all apart of?π€π€
Stay woke
I hope the grand jury makes Jussie reenact the attack with the Benny Hill Theme playing in the background.
Lmao!!!! That was too funny. I agree.
Yeah that music is classic.
YOOOOO…ππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππ€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£
+Tammy D
Lol…you made me start cracking up again. π€£π€£π€£
Dodododooo dododo doodododo….(with the fast & rewind buttom)……lol Why i still remember that.
*JUSSIE SMOLLETT*
*DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY?*
π€¦ββοΈ
Damn Jussie we were rooting for you, we were all rooting for you now you’re cancelled bruh! What a shameπ€¦ββοΈ
+Mad 1976 I’m suggesting
the overall HOLLYWOOD way
of casting a BULLSHIT
narrative comes from the left.
But I respect your TRUTH ππΊπΈπ
Some people are not built
for REALITY .
+Traci-Jean Behind Blue Eyes
Stay SMART ππΊπΈπ
+Mad 1976
Good oneππΊπΈπ
+EAGLE SHIELD Jussy and trump are also in trouble with the law made they will share the same jail cell.πππππ
He is the boy that cried wolf he should go to jail!!
THIS IS MAGA COUNTRY!! LOL!
Jussie’s story never added up since the beginning
All of us who pointed that out from the second the story broke were called ‘conspiracy theorists’…simply for having human eyes and ears that can sense fuckery
Told y’all you were going to look stupid, TMZ. How the fuq could y’all not question this story from the beginning. Y’all lost the little credibility you might have had.
Critical thinking is greatly lacking these days.
Damnn Jussie π€¦πΎββοΈ
the nigerians flipped i bet jussie gets time or a huge fine
He’s black, and he’ll get a slap on the wrist.
Jussie deserves every damn thing that happens to him from here on out for making up this story! Shame on you Jussie!
TMZ race baiting
BACKFIRED πππΊπΈ
lm on MAGA people and trump side on this one.
If he actually lied….I just don’t understand. He has the looks, a career and everything and still ruined it all for himself. Dumb as hell.
He believed the thought of “all publicity is good publicity.”
He was getting fired from empire and had just gotten into a fight with his boyfriend the night before I guess at a club because his bf was cheating on him so I think it was for attention
He sufferers from Trump derangement syndrome that’s why
He has a small career , no 1 out of the black community ever heard of him till now
Now you know you done fkβd up right – Bill Duke
Fake hate crimes? Sounds like something a democrat would do
black history month is LIT.
I tried to wipe a hair off my screen for 5 seconds before I realized it was your profile pic.
Jussie is and forever more will be known as a P.O.S. LIAR
