I'm somehow still confused about this whole thing. So it was all def a hoax? About pay on Empire? Or just attention? I understand nothing.gif

After several months of controversy, the crime was determined to be a hoax.

Was it? Not even being snarky, I feel like the last thing I read the police had dropped charges but people were still super unsure about what exactly happened.

He's also getting sued for defamation by the brothers now.

He played the city of Chicago and they’re pissed and petty

The media (AP, Chicago Tribune etc) went to court to have the case unsealed. A judge ruled in their favor.

My favorite part of all of this is one prosecutor calling the proposed charges against him too harsh for a washed up actor compared to R Kelly’s charges.
