He's done!
Empire actor Jussie Smollett on Friday was indicted by a grand jury in Chicago on 16 counts of felony disorderly conduct in connection to filing a false report about an alleged hate crime against himself.
Empire’s executive producers cut Smollett from the program’s final episodes this season in the wake of the actor’s legal woes. “While these allegations are very disturbing, we are placing our trust in the legal system as the process plays,” Empire producers Lee Daniels, Danny Strong, Brett Mahoney, Brian Grazer, Sanaa Hamri, Francie Calfo, and Dennis Hammer said of the decision. “We are also aware of the effects of this process on the cast and crew members who work on our show and to avoid further disruption on set, we have decided to remove the role of ‘Jamal’ from the final two episodes of the season.”
Meanwhile, Smollett’s legal team has vigorously defended their client against the allegations, even accusing police of denying him the presumption of innocence. In a statement, Smollett’s attorneys described the actor as “a man of impeccable character and integrity who fiercely and solemnly maintains his innocence.” The attorneys also called Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson’s press conference laying out Smollett’s case “an organized law enforcement spectacle.”

here's to hoping he can reprise the role as everyone's favorite prison bitch for at least 5 - 7 years.
in other news, it looks like jussie has been quite the inspiration:

it's ironic that while liberals were falling all over themselves working to pass hate crime legislation, what we really needed all along was HOAX crime legislation.
I saw the left fell back to its HOAX talking point that the president is a racist because he denounced neo-Nazis and white supremacists at Charlottesville but also pointed out the culpability of the leftist counter protestors, while pointing out there is good people on both sides of the historic statue issue.
Inflaming race wars is apparently what the left is now resorting to and taking words out of context.
Really shameful and willing disregard to the obvious truth, something that has become a real pattern with them.
