According to reports, prosecutors have just dropped all charges against the Empire actor, after he was accused of staging an alleged homophobic and racist attack on himself earlier this year.
The 36-year-old actor attended his court hearing in Chicago yesterday and pleaded not guilty to 16 counts of disorderly conduct for allegedly lying to police about the incident.
"After reviewing all of the facts and circumstances of the case, including Mr Smollett's volunteer service in the community and agreement to forfeit his bond to the City of Chicago, we believe this outcome is a just disposition and appropriate resolution to this case,” the office of Cook County State's Attorney Kimberly Foxx said in a statement.
It’s currently unclear why prosecutors dropped the charges against Smollett, but the actor has continued to maintain his innocence…
"I have been truthful and consistent on every single level since day one,” he told reporters after leaving court.
"I would not be my mother's son if I was capable of one drop of what I've been accused of."
Although the charges have been dropped without a reason being given, we are still no closer to finding out if Jussie Smollett actually faked the attack, as he was neither proven innocent nor proven guilty. We are all scratching our heads right now…
As you can see, there are still a lot of unanswered questions regarding the case, so we don’t think this will be the last we hear of it…

My Dating Coach really took the time to go through my profile thoroughly. First she viewed my pictures and gave me great feedback.
She read through the written portion of my profile, line by line, and gave direct feedback on how to add my personality to it.
My amazing consultant, even asked how my contacts where going and offered a few suggestions to increase my interactions with new men.
I took her advice and made the suggested adjustments.
I have received more contact from men, more views, and have started communicating with more people which was the whole point of joining the site in the first place.
The Coaching Service served as an incredible perk and has really enhanced my online dating experience. Thanks!

So..... is this “black privilege”? Or is it just celebrity privilege? I say celebrity privilege because it’s truly all about your economic status and and/or popularity/fame and nothing to do with your race.
What is “black privilege”???
No more like celebrity privilege.
