All charges against actor Jussie Smollett who had been accused of staging a hate crime and filing a false police report about it have been dropped, prosecutors and his attorneys said Tuesday.
Chicago police alleged just last month that the 36-year-old “Empire” actor hired two acquaintances to attack him in late January to promote his career.
According to CNN, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office didn’t immediately explain why the felony disorderly charges were dropped, except to say it came after reviewing the case’s facts, and in view of his agreement to forfeit his $10,000 bond.
