As previously reported, TMZ said Thursday that Chicago police not only brought Jussie Smollett in for additional questioning, but there are two other men being questioned as “persons of interest.”
One person of interest is another ‘Empire’ actor who flew into Chicago’s O’Hare airport late Wednesday night.
THE ATTACKED WAS STAGED — BECAUSE SMOLLETT’S CHARACTER WAS BEING WRITTEN OFF THE SHOW!
The attorney for the brothers just spoke with her clients.
This information is according to family who says home was ransacked. I asked family why they think police picked the two brothers up for questioning and they replied by saying the men left for #Nigeria the day of the attack. @cbschicago
