Big Bang Theory's Cuoco removes the photo of "We're standing with Jussie Smollett"

Jussie Smollett was accused of lying about the fact that he had been the victim of A violent homophobic and racist attack last month. [19659003] The Empire actor told the police that he was a victim of a hate crime, alleging that two men had put him on him in Chicago on January 29, before beating him, to throw bleach at him and put the rope around his neck.

He has since been arrested and accused of filing a false police report, officials claiming that he had himself orchestrated the incident himself.

After the information, the cast members of The Big Bang Theory removed from his profile on social networks his support publications concerning the 36-year-old woman.

Kaley Cuoco, who plays Penny in the sitcom, was among the first to publicly defend Smollett on his Instagram page, sharing a ph. oto from the set of filming on the set, next to a sign stating "We support Jussie".

"On behalf of everyone here, @bigbangtheory_cbs, we #standwithjussie #jussiesmollett #wegotyourback", she subtitled the shot for her. Learn more about this link, and many more here. Many [love] @jussiesmollett. & # 39;

However, a quick scroll down of their Instagram profiles shows that the photo in question is no longer there.

And the fans rushed to say why it had been removed so quickly. 19659003] & # 39; Are you still standing with Jussie ???? You were so quick to show your support, "commented one of them under his last post.

" I suppose you are no longer "standing up", wrote a disciple.

"We are with Jussie," another smoked.

While an Instagram user added, "It's good to see you take note of this ridiculous article" We are with #jussiesmollett. "Now I can resume the Big Bang movement."

Jussie was charged with staging the brutal attack last month in Chicago and was arrested and charged with filing a false police report.

At a press conference, police chiefs criticized the actor – who plays Jamal Lyon on the drama – for being honest about the incident and allegedly handing these men a check of $ 3,500 (£ 2,684) to orchestrate the attack – the check being currently in evidence.

The spokesman said: "Before we begin why we are here. I only wish that families of armed criminals receive as much attention.

"This morning, I come to you as a black man who has spent his entire life in Chicago. I know the racial divide and how difficult it has been for our city.

"Jussie took advantage of the pain and anger of racism to promote her career. I'm left hanging my head and asking why. Why would anyone use the symbol of a noose to make false accusations? How could anyone look at the pain and symbol of this symbol and use it to strengthen his own empire?

"He returned and slapped everyone with these false statements. Dummy police reports hurt a lot of victims who need support.

They add: "He sent a false letter in which we use racial, homophobic and political language. He paid $ 3,500 to organize this attack and drag Chicago's reputation in the mud.

"Smollett was unhappy with his salary from the Empire and so invented the story of an attack."

The actor has not yet spoken of his arrest, and will appear at the hearing later in the day.
