It has not been a good decade for Jussie Smollett….
Or as Dave Chappelle lampooned him, “Juicy Smoll-i-et”.
But more on that down below if you don’t know what I’m talking about.
First, the breaking news.
After his conviction has just been upheld by Illinois appeals court, Smolliett is on his way back to prison:
JUST IN: Hoaxer Jussie Smollett lost his appeal and is going back to jail after an appeals court affirmed his disorderly conduct conviction.
Good. Keep him there.

Here is Smollett whining back in March of 2022 after he was sentenced to jail.
Clown.
Easy way to stay out of prison: Don’t stage a hate crime and try to frame MAGA?

Here’s more, from the NY Post:
An appeals court on Friday upheld the disorderly conduct convictions of actor Jussie Smollett, who was accused of staging a racist, homophobic attack against himself in 2019 and then lying about it to Chicago police.
Smollett, who appeared in the TV show “Empire,” challenged the role of a special prosecutor, jury selection, evidence and many other aspects of the case. But all were turned aside in a 2-1 opinion from the Illinois Appellate Court.
Smollett had reported to police that he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack by two men wearing ski masks. The manhunt for the attackers soon turned into an investigation of Smollett himself, leading to his arrest on charges he had orchestrated the attack.
Authorities said he paid two men whom he knew from work on “Empire.”
ADVERTISEMENTA jury convicted Smollett in 2021 on five felony counts of disorderly conduct, a charge that can be filed in Illinois when a person lies to police.
He now will have to finish a 150-day stint in jail that was part of his sentence. Smollett spent just six days in jail while his appeal was pending.
What do you think?
Right sentence?
Too long?
Too short?
And now if you’ve never seen this before, prepare to laugh….👇
