Jussie Smollet believes that there’s one reason, and one reason alone that he’s in jail and it’s not because he hired two men to stage a hate crime in an attempt to boost his career. He supposedly told his defense team before sentencing that he felt he would be treated more harshly than other defendants of non-violent crimes all because of the color of his skin. He believes it is evidence of systematic racism.
He told his team after the sentencing that he was “dead-on” with his prediction of the outcome and called it “unfortunate and sad”. Of course, the reason he’s going to jail (for a very short time I might add), is because he lied to police, lied to the media, and continued to tell a tall tale about a fake hate crime that he, himself concocted.
Jussie Smollett Claims That The Only Reason He’s In Jail Is Because He’s Black
Currently, he is held in protective custody as requested while he serves his time behind bars with a security camera and an officer with a camera monitoring his cell. During his sentencing, he spoke out loudly about “not being suicidal” several times, claiming that if anything happened to him in jail, it was because someone had murdered him.
Jussie is clearly living some kind of movie in his head and sees himself as a Nelson Mandela type, which is completely insane. The man is in trouble and being punished for committing a crime. It has nothing to do with the fact that he’s a black man or a terrible actor.
The days of pushing this false narrative need to come to an end, because it’s not getting us anywhere, and continues to make people weak and pathetic. Accept responsibility for your own actions and realize you’re being an idiot.
He was sentenced to only 150 days in jail which seems like a cake walk for what he did.
