Be kind - his attorney says he has had an EXTREMELY DIFFICULT past few years. I'm sure he meant trying to juggle and decide all his Hollywood offers to star in television shows and movies, no ? 😀 + augustus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this smacks of a PR stunt. Smollett destroyed his career by staging a pathetic hoax. What better way to redemption than a stint in rehab, after which he can very publicly claim that he's changed, grown, blah blah blah. Cue up the "I'm a totally different person now" interviews. Yeah, uh huh, sure you are. Ali Gator and + augustus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali Gator Posted October 24, 2023 Author Share Posted October 24, 2023 This handsome guy had such a promising career (singing and acting) ahead of him just a few years ago. I recall watching an interview with him (before all this craziness happened) and he really held his own, and was quite interesting to listen to that day. I honestly thought he would go far once 'Empire' was over. How and what went wrong with him after that is a mystery to everyone. + Axiom2001 and BSR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently now (December 3rd) he's serving time for some 150 days. I don't know where he's housed, but on Steven A's podcast that I listened to yesterday, JS was discussed. Steven A. had mixed thoughts about the young man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSR Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Now that an Illinois appellate court denied Smollett's appeal, he will have to serve his 150-day sentence. Smollett's false police report caused the Chicago PD to waste a vast amount of money and resources that should have been dedicated to dealing with real crimes. In my opinion, Smollett deserves a lot more than 150 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
