Jussie Smollett seems tense during a phone call saying to a friend "I have to believe me, I went down"

Jussie Smollett seemed tense during a lively phone call during his Hawaii getaway, telling a friend that "it's over, I let go" after all the charges against him were dropped .

The actor of the Empire, aged 36, was observed during the lively discussions and could be heard:I did not do anything about it. The charges were dropped.

In the exclusive images of DailyMail.com, one can see Jussie, dressed in a black outfit with white sneakers, who walks in a parking lot. A spectator said, "He said, Ryan, Ryan. You must believe me "."

The star appeared tense during the conversation, which took place during her family vacation on the islands. She arrived just a few days after being photographed with a smile on a trip to the beach.

Smollett's family dined at a nearby restaurant during the phone call, according to eyewitnesses.

That was a striking difference from last week's images that showed the actor laughing, chatting with his sisters and unloading a car for a fun day at the beach.

Smollett, her two sisters, her brother-in-law, her niece and her nephew were all seen at Kailua's Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park on the Big Island last Wednesday as the impact of her sensational case raged in Chicago.

The actor was last seen flying to Los Angeles a few days after 16 counts of lying were told to the police after being accused of having organized an attack on himself on January 29 to try to get an increase on Empire.

Police said he had paid Abel and Ola Osundairo for hitting him in what he had described as a racist and homophobic attack by two Trump-loving writers. He always maintained his innocence and insisted that he was attacked.

The lawsuits against him were dropped suddenly and unexpectedly last month by the state prosecutor's office in dubious circumstances.

The legal consequences were such that Attorney General Kim Foxx, whose office was in charge of the investigation, was faced with repeated calls for resignation as a result of handling the case.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, Eddie Johnson, both expressed their fury when her office decided to file the case.

She exchanged text messages with members of Smollett's family at the start of the investigation and attempted, at their request, to convince the Chicago PD to let the FBI take the lead.

Foxx defended his actions and those of his attorneys.

The city of Chicago is currently suing Smollett after the actor refused to pay $ 130,106 in overtime accumulated by the police.

The Smollett team never offered an alternative explanation for why the brothers, whom he knew and who had paid for his personal training, were attacking him.

But his lawyer, Mark Geragos, responded to the city's letter by claiming that his threats were "malicious". He added that he "will not be intimidated" by the demands of the city.
