Jussie Smollett will serve time in prison for faking a hate crime. A Chicago judge on March 10 sentenced Smollett to six months in prison and ordered him to pay $120,000 in restitution and a $25,000 fine. The judge said “the extreme pre-meditation” was an “aggravating factor” in his decision.
He also called Jussie arrogant, selfish, and narcissistic, and said he did damage to real victims of hate crimes.
Before his sentencing, several supporters spoke out to ask for leniency for the former “Empire” star, including his 92-year-old grandmother, Molly Smollett.
Shortly after being ordered into custody, Jussie went off on the judge, telling him if he dies in prison it’s not suicide. He also yelled out that he wasn’t suicidal and walked out of court with his fist in the air.
A rep for Cook County Sheriff’s office told TMZ that Jussie will be given a comprehensive medical and mental health assessment by Health Services, a security assessment and will be placed in appropriate housing.
