U.S actor sent to jail for staging a hate crime against himself

“Crazy outburst” and “narcissist behaviour”- A former U.S actor has been served

Jussie Smollett has now been sentenced to 150 days in jail

A jury found he lied to police about being the victim of a hate crime.

The U.S actor is known for his role in the Empire TV series… and has been in trouble for the past few years.

Back in December, the star was found guilty of five charges after making false reports about an attack that never happened

The sentence he received for the charges today includes 30 months of probation and $145 thousand dollars in fines.

Throughout the trial, Smollett maintained that he had been the victim of a crime.

Following the sentence, Smollett stood up out of his seat to address the court… saying “I did not do it!” Here’s that moment.

The trial stemmed from an incident three years ago when Smollett said he was attacked by two people.

The actor, who is black and gay, said the attackers shouted slurs at him and a Trump slogan.

He claimed they dumped a “chemical substance” on him and tied a noose around his neck… all while walking late at night in January 2019.

At the trial last year, two men testified that they got paid 3,500 US dollars to attack the former tv star… and authorities charged Smollett with staging the assault.

Even though the judge heard from several witnesses who asked for leniency. Letters read from the likes of civil rights leader Jesse Jackson and actor Samuel L Jackson. The judge did not buy it.

In a nutshell… the judge said “You’re not the victim of racism, homophobia, or a hate crime. You’re just a narcissist. Your very name has become an adverb for lying.”Thousands are flooding social media in support of the Judge’s comments.. some calling his behavior in court demented and twisted.
