Jussie Smollett has been found guilty of staging a hate crime against himself in January 2019 to boost his career according to prosecutors. The jury in Chicago deliberated for more than nine hours and found the actor guilty on five of six counts of disorderly conduct and for filing a false police report. According to experts, even though the actor was found guilty, he more than likely won’t serve any time in jail.
Earlier today one entertainment brand expert Jussie Smollett has ‘already lost’ regardless of verdict The jury for Jussie Smollett’s case is already deliberating to determine his fate. One brand expert believes that the verdict says, ‘Jussie has already lost’. Evan Nierman said, “If Jussie Smollett were going to find redemption, then A-list celebs and media-hungry policymakers would be lining up behind him, but that has not happened.” Evan continued, “Initial support has been replaced by people running for the Hollywood Hills to avoid being connected to him.” Nierman added, “Ultimately, Smollett’s brand and future career are what ended up taking the biggest beating. It’s hard to imagine future employers embracing someone perceived as further inflaming racial discord in America. Any future acting opportunities that do come his way are going to be small, and even those likely won’t show up for some time.
