Former Empire actor Jussie Smollett has denied he staged an anti-gay, racist attack on himself in downtown Chicago, testifying at his trial that “there was no hoax.”Smollett, who faces charges that he lied to Chicago police about the January 2019 attack, sought to refute damaging testimony from two brothers last week. They said Smollett, who is gay and Black, orchestrated the hoax to get publicity, giving them US$100 for supplies and instructing them to place a noose around his neck and yell homophobic slurs.
