Jussie Smollett on Thursday showed up 10 minutes late to his sentencing hearing flanked by members of his family.
The judge denied Smollett a new trial after hearing his lawyers argue to have the jury’s verdict overturned.
The judge scolded Jussie Smollett for his narcissism and hypocrisy before sentencing him to 150 days in jail STARTING TODAY.
Smollett was also sentenced to 30 months probation, ordered to pay $120,126 restitution and a $25,000 fine.
Jussie Smollett stood up after the judge sentenced him and began shouting, “I am not suicidal! I am innocent!”

In December Smollett was found guilty on 5 charges of disorderly conduct – one count for each time he lied to police following the hoax ‘attack.’
Smollett was found not guilty on a 6th count of lying to a detective.
The Gateway Pundit immediately pegged this ‘racist, homophobic’ attack against Smollett as a hate hoax in January 2019.
Smollett laughably claimed two ‘white men’ ambushed him at 2 am in 20 degree weather in downtown Chicago while screaming “This is MAGA country!”
The ‘Empire’ actor said the attackers poured bleach on him and put a noose around his neck while verbally abusing him with homophobic and racial slurs.
It turns out Jussie Smollett paid two Nigerian brothers over $3,000 to help him pull off the “MAGA Country” hate hoax crime.
In previously released footage, the Osundairo brothers are seen purchasing all of the supplies for the hate hoax such as red hats, rope and bleach.
Despite all of the evidence presented in the court proving Smollett recruited the Nigerians to help him with this hate hoax, the ‘Empire’ actor lied to the court for hours and claimed he was a victim of a real crime.
