    This week I started looking into the assault on Jussie Smollett. I soon realized that many of the details that had been reported as fact, actually are complete fabrications. Several reports said he refused to turn over his phone records, for instance. Not true at all.

        I also checked for cameras in the area where the assault of Jussie Smollett took place. It has none. 98+% of all crimes in Chicago are not filmed by cameras. The notion that the assault not being filmed somehow suggests Jussie wasn't assaulted is ridiculous.

        40 degrees below zero or something ridiculous line that...he says he couldn’t describe them due to their heavy clothing. What was he wearing at that time and temperature that allowed them to recognize him?

        His phone would prove that it happened or not, why would you not show that evidence if it happened. Its almost like....its a lie.

        Is it really hard to believe that a gay black men wouldn't want to turn over his phone to police? Especially since Jussie is also well known and perhaps had private stuff on his phone. Police can get the info they need from his phone records.

        This whole victim blaming/shaming is so reflective of the bias against gay and black Americans. Has anyone thought that he might not want to turn over his phone to protect the personal phone numbers of his friends and family?

        Well, this is Chicago police investigating this. They MUST b distrusted, given thr record of antagonism 2ward blacks &their general viciousness going back to, at least, Washington the black Mayor. Strange how his tenure seems erased from Chicago history. Bc it was vry vry ugly?

        He refused to turn over his phone, not his records. Nothing anyone else wouldn't have done. These are people trying to make him look shady

        Shaun we can always count on you to look into situations and report out! I had read that one reason Jussie Smollett spoke out was because of the lies. (Sigh) People can be so trifling 😤
