It wouldn’t be much fun to be Jussie Smollett right now.
His chickens are coming home to roost and he’s getting hammered from all directions.
Not only is he facing fresh new charges, but a Chicago judge just delivered him yet another blow, leaving Smollett a lone man on an island operated by Karma.
He’s in big trouble.
Smollett’s last hope was to sue the Chicago police for “malicious prosecution,” and those hopes were just dashed by a federal judge.
A federal judge on Wednesday dismissed actor Jussie Smollett’s malicious prosecution lawsuit against the city of Chicago and several police officers.
The former “Empire” actor told police that he was beaten by two men who looped a noose around his neck and threw vile comments at him in an attack near his home in downtown Chicago in January last year. Chicago police said the attack was staged, and Smollett was charged with making a false report. Those charges were subsequently dropped with little explanation from prosecutors.
In April 2019, the city sued Smollett seeking reimbursement of more than $130,000 paid in overtime to police officers who were involved in investigating the alleged racist and homophobic attack on Smollett, who is black and gay.
Smollett countersued in November, saying the city couldn’t recover costs because it accepted $10,000 from Smollett “as payment in full in connection with the dismissal of the charges against him.” The lawsuit said Smollett had been the victim of a malicious prosecution that caused him humiliation and extreme distress.
U.S. District Judge Virginia Kendall ruled Wednesday that Smollett can’t bring a malicious prosecution claim until all proceedings against him have ended. [Breitbart [2]]
