After years and years of Jossi Smollett's claim that she is a victim of the crime of hate in the cold streets of Chicago, the whole issue, and the lawsuits, all of which have ended- after the previous-empire Star Chic Books.
In fact, two checks.
A day after officials of Windy City announced that they had reached a settlement with Smollett, the performer says it gives $ 50,000 to one local organization, and an additional $ 10,000 to another. “The decision to settle the civil lawsuit was not the most difficult decision.” “After I repeatedly refused to pay the city, I was given an opportunity to provide a charitable donation in exchange for rejecting the case,” he said.See the full Smollett statement below).
In November of last year, the Illinois Supreme Court unanimously canceled the legal consequences that Smallite suffered due to the prominent accident. In the opinion of the court, the decision of the Prosecutor Dan Weby violated the re -simulator of the Rights of the Land. This role followed the Chicago jury body, a ruling against Smollett in December 2021 on five criminal charges, including lying to the police about the alleged hate attack of 2019 in the early hours of January 29, 2019-an attack at that time sympathy for President Donald Trump in the first term.
Shortly later, the Smollett story began to collapse, and the jam of the drama created by the hip -hop that Lee Daniels created, came out of the court, imprisoned and more in a quick sequence. At one time, local public prosecutors agreed to drop the charges against the actor as part of an agreement that he would lose his bond of $ 10,000 and perform community service. When some political mixture in the local Chicago, with the police and more, Smollett was then placed under the spotlight from a private public prosecutor and was transferred to the courts alleging to play quickly and disintegrate the truth and the schedule of his business.
Today, Smolit closed this chapter in his life.
He said on Friday: “More than six years ago, after reporting that I have jumped, city officials in Chicago set out to persuade the public that I was deliberately prepared for myself,” he said on Friday. “This wrong novel has left a stigma on my personality that will not disappear soon. These officials wanted my money and wanted to confess to something I did not. Today, it should be clear … they received.”
He added: “However, despite the arduous and expensive attempts to punish me, I am innocent in the eyes of God and our criminal justice system. What I have to do now is to move forward. I will continue to create artistic artistic, and I fight enthusiastically for the most dearest reasons and defend my safety and family name with the truth.”
Although he is no longer regular on network TV as it was at the height of the empire, Smollett has tried to capture the era of his career in recent years. The lost holiday, Smollett, participating in Vivica A. Fox, was film, Wittjam, for the first time on Amazon Prime Video on May 9.

More than six years ago, after reporting that I jumped, city officials in Chicago set out to persuade the public that I had identified myself. This wrong narration left a stigma on my personality that will not disappear soon. These officials wanted my money and wanted to confess to something I did not. Today, it should be clear … they have received no.
The decision to settle the civil lawsuit was not the most difficult to take. After he repeatedly rejected it, the city was given, he was given an opportunity to make a charitable donation in exchange for rejecting the case. Despite what happened there politically, Chicago Betty was more than 5 years old and people became my family. Therefore, donation in favor of Chicago societies that are often neglected by those in power will always be something I support. I submitted a $ 50,000.00 donation to build a brighter future center (BBF) for the arts, which is local non -profit organizations that do incredible work in expressing self -expression, creativity and exploration of arts for Chicago youth. This organization was my choice while I was comfortable because there is at least one winner of this experience.
Although I was acquitted by the Supreme Court in Illinois in a unanimous decision, and the civil case has now been rejected, I realize that it will not change everyone's opinion about me or the attack I faced. However, despite the arduous and expensive attempts to punish me, I am innocent in the eyes of God and our criminal justice system. What I must do now is to go forward. I will continue to create a technician, and I am fighting enthusiastically because of the reasons that I carry, my dear, and I defend my safety and the name of my family in reality.
Finally, I am grateful because I have resources to defend myself. Many do not. They are supported in angles to take deals or recognize the crimes he has not already committed. In their honor, I donated an additional $ 10,000.00 to the Chicago Center for Judicial Torture, which provides resources for societies that heal from the Chicago Police Department's violence. For anyone who had to prove that he has actually violated, you know how difficult it is to move. I stand with you and you. For everyone who supported me, thank you. Your prayers and faith in me means more than the words that can cross properly. I will not consider it light and I will never forget. Onwards.
With love and respect,
Jossi Smollett
