Jussie Smollett To Pay $50K In City of Chicago Settlement.
The city of Chicago has settled with actor Jussie Smollett, who will donate $50,000 to a Chicago-based organization after contributing $10,000 in 2019. The city had sued Smollett to recoup costs related to his false claims of being attacked.
The settlement is considered a fair and definitive conclusion to the six-year-old issue, allowing all parties to proceed.
The former ‘Empire’ star’s attorney stated that the actor was substantially harmed by the conviction, which the Illinois Supreme Court recently overturned.
