The black and gay actress Jussie Smollett (36), well known to American viewers of the Empire drama series, reported three weeks ago an assault.
According to the report, he was reportedly subjected to severe night violence until Tuesday, 29 January. In addition to being hit in the face, he should have been abused with a rope and completely fluidized or even whitened.
On the whole, the authors should have called homophobic and racist remarks to Smollett.
"This is the MAGA country," they would have also called, according to Smollett, referring to President Trump's slogan "Make America Great Again".
The episode was the subject of an investigation for hate crime with victim Smollett.
Police now think that he may have paid two brothers to beat him, including CNN, citing two different police sources.
Refuse to have organized the assault
The actor, through the intermediary of his lawyers, refuses to meddle with the aggression, writes the BBC.
"Jussie Smollett is angry and upset by recent news that the culprits are people he knows," said a Smollett lawyer.
In their statement, lawyers write that Smollett became a victim of people who claim that he himself played a role in the assault.
"Nothing could be further from the truth, and anyone who claims anything else is lying," said attorneys Todd Pugh and Victor P. Henderson.
"Turn around in the investigation"
The alleged brothers were released without charge Saturday, writes the AP news agency.
One of the brothers will be Smollett's personal trainer. Both will have been extras from the Empire television series, writes the BBC.
The police have not finished yet and are continuing their investigation. But this weekend, several US media outlets, including NBC, reported that the survey had taken a shocking turn. After another interrogation, they opened up to the whole situation.
Police have not officially confirmed the nature of this rotation, but a number of US media sources have their own police sources that this should apply to Smollett himself, who played a role in his own assaults. Initially, they will question again the star of the television.
"We can confirm that the information we received from people interviewed by the police in the case actually distorted the direction of the investigation," said Anthony Guglielmi, spokesman for the Chicago police.
The investigators searched the surveillance videos of the area and captured what they considered to be the two brothers, but did not find records of the incident itself.
Rumors have been buzzing for a long time. Local media, including CBS Chicago, reported a similar story a few days ago based on anonymous sources, but the police then went out and denied that Smollett should have organized the attack. Police said to have no evidence indicating that the incident was a hoax and that the reproduction was inaccurate and inaccurate.
May be detrimental to the fight against hate crime
A number of furious celebrities, including former Vice President Joe Biden, pop star John Legende and presenter Ellen DeGeneres immediately took the floor to support Smollett and condemn the assault.
"The racist and homophobic attack of Jussie Smollett is a violation of our humanity", written the powerful Democrat Nancy Pelosi on Twitter.
"What happened to Jussie makes me feel really sick, I can not understand that this fading still goes on every day" written pop star Ariana Grande.
Now that new information has appeared in the file, many right-wing opponents in US politics have objected.
President Trump's son Donald Trump Jr., who has already been criticized for interviewing Smollett's story earlier, again commented on the case.
In social media, we now discuss the harmful consequences for the fight for minority rights and against hate crimes if it turns out that the attack was organized.
"We will hear from long time homophobes," hoteps ", hypocrites and conspiracy theorists who still use deviations to discredit races and whole groups of people, writes one person on Twitter.
