Taraji P. Henson says co-star Jussie Smollett will return to Empire after controversy

Taraji P. Henson revealed that Jussie Smollett would return in their series of the Empire series, after a controversial controversy.

The 48-year-old actress appeared in The View on Thursday while she revealed the future of the drama of her 36-year-old co-star.

Facilitator Joy Behar asked Smollett if she would still participate in the series. Taraji replied, "Yes, I did not hear anything more. I did not hear anything.

The Oscar-nominated actress reveals that she still speaks to her son on screen despite her many discussions about Brouhaha.

Taraji says, "Yes, I talk to Jussie all the time. He's fine, we're all fine, the show is going well.

"We're on a break now, the writers are trying to figure out what the next season will look like, what will be our story. They are trying to prepare you very good juicy preparations, so here we are. "

It is interesting for Henson to talk about the future of the series, as it has not yet been officially renewed for a sixth season.

It seems that the controversy does not always create a buzz since last week again, the ratings of the Empire have fallen to a record level after boycotting fans because of outrage.

Last Wednesday, 3.97 million viewers followed 20th Century Fox's program, the lowest in its history.

The show returned to television after a mid-season hiatus on March 13, but the scandal did nothing to improve its ratings.

Last week, a crime case accusing Smollett of organizing hate crime was dropped last Tuesday.

The actor left the court, a free man, after having secretly performed 16 hours of community service and lost $ 10,000 in bail.

The sudden decision of the Illinois state's deputy attorney not to follow up on charges has been widely condemned, including by Chicago's furious police chief and Mayor Rahm Emanuel , who believe that Smollett should be punished for his alleged lies.
