Jussie Smollett claims he has an untreated drug problem
February 22, 2019
Jussie Smollett told cops he has an untreated drug problem — raising questions about whether he might try to use the claim to at least get any potential prison sentence reduced, according to a report Friday.
The “Empire” star divulged his alleged drug problem after turning himself in Thursday morning on charges he filed a false police report involving a hate crime, TMZ reported.
Prosecutors said Abimbola “Abel” Osundairo, one of the brothers who helped Smollett allegedly stage the Jan. 29 hate attack, served as Smollett’s drug dealer, selling him Molly several times since the spring of 2018.
The 36-year-old actor, in claiming to have a drug problem, could be paving the way to use it as a “mitigating factor” when it comes to sentencing, the site said.
In court documents, Smollett answered “no” to whether he had any mental or alcohol problems.
B-13 Peer Reveiw:
I believe him no one in their right mind would sabatage their own career like this. He wasn't sober in the mind when making this series of bad decisions. He was highly suggestible. The people around him took advantage of this fact for their own personal gain. I say for you all that know the words of prayer pray for this young brother. He is in the seedy world of Hollyweird and anything goes. They have one agenda, Aleister Crowley, "Do what thou Wilt". He's a victim and he is struggling with his own sexuality.
Lee Daniels don't kick him off the show. If he leaves the show let it be his decision. You said he was your son he needs you now more than ever. Be a real friend to him and support him. Help him get through this.
