He replied saying,
“If I had done this, I’d be a piece of *BLEEP*… That’s not really questionable, if I had done something like this, it would mean that I stuck my fist in the pain of Black Americans in this country for over 400 years.”
“We’re not even talking about in Africa because that’s an even deeper, larger conversation.
It would mean that I stuck my fist in the fears of the LGBTQ community all over the world.
“I’m not that *BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP*. Never have been, don’t need to be, didn’t need to have a rise in his career. I was on the up-and-up.” He added.
If you would recall, Jussie Smollett was found guilty last December of multiple counts of disorderly conduct in connection with lying to police, yet he maintains he is innocent of these crimes.
