US television actor Jussie Smollett pleaded not guilty on
Thursday to charges he lied to police about being the victim of a
racist, homophobic hate crime.
The 36-year-old actor was charged with 16 felony counts last
week for allegedly masterminding a false attack to gain publicity
and win a bigger paycheck.
He is accused of sending himself a threatening letter and hiring
two acquaintances to stage a street attack in downtown Chicago,
complete with homophobic and racial slurs, while invoking Donald
Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan.
News of the attack in January attracted widespread shock and
support for the actor, who is gay and black.
Smollett has maintained his innocence and his attorney Tina
Glandian earlier this week said the case against him is mired in
“misinformation.”
“There has been a lot of misinformation in this case that has
been presented as fact and evidence against Mr Smollett, which is
demonstrably false,” Glandian said Tuesday.
Smollett found fame on Fox musical drama “Empire,” but was
removed from the last two episodes of the show’s latest season amid
the controversy.
The next court hearing was set for April 17.
