Hate crime hoaxer and disgraced actor Jussie Smollett is appealing his case to the Illinois Supreme Court in an attempt to try to convince the public that he really was attacked by homophobic racists during a 2:00 a.m. Subway sandwich run in Chicago in 2019.
Attorneys for Smollett are asking the Illinois Supreme Court to intervene in the disgraced actor’s case involving the false claims he made in 2019 about being a victim of a hate a crime, according to a report by Chicago’s WGN-TV.
In 2022, Smollett was found guilty of filing a false police report after he hired two brothers from Nigeria to stage a fake hate crime against him, in which the actor claimed two men wearing MAGA hats put a rope around his neck, poured bleach on him, shouted racial and homophobic slurs at him, and then yelled, “This is MAGA country!”
