THE JUSSIE SMOLLETT SCANDAL

Much ado about nothing seems to be the final conclusion of the Jussie Smollett scandal, that left so many people angered and cost the actor his career.

The whole community was outraged for Smollett, but the police investigation uncovered the unbelievable: Smollett has staged the "attack" with the help of two Nigerian brothers who worked with him on "Empire" to boost his career.

Smollett was indicted for filing a false police report and faced up to three years in prison, but the charges were dismissed.

Nevertheless, the co-creator of "Empire" refused to allow Smollett back into the show and had his character written out of the plot.
