God that case was wild af

[jigglemypuff]

I still don’t understand why he did it. It makes no sense to me. Like at what point do you sit down and think to yourself “this is a good idea”?

same?

Speculation:

I think he was looking for a higher pay or more screen time on Empire with this.

Or he was trying to pivot to a better music career with this as like a launching pad.

It's been a year? Fuck.

[screamingintune]

did this fiasco tank that entire show, do you think?

idk, I'll never trust the Chicago police's word over anyone so who knows what happened

[pikapika217]

nah, this seems like a final nail thing. Ratings had stalled already

[iznanassi]

yeah i'm at that point too. i consciously choose to disbelieve the CPD because they don't deserve that good faith from me.

"i consciously choose to disbelieve the CPD because they don't deserve that good faith from me."

have you been following mayor lightfoot and her shitty shenanigans?

[pikapika217]

I've honestly grappled with this case and incident so much emotionally?

All I can guess is that Chicago PD was messy AF and wanted to smear someone him extra because they knew something was funky but they couldn't figure out what? Like everything got dropped and that doesn't just happen for anyone, much less a gay black man on the c list

He's maintained his innocence and while I don't think he lied about something happening to him I question what exactly did take place

[vespertinev]

That's What I think as well
