The Truth About Jussie Smollett?

Famous Jussie Smollett is attacked in the small hours, claiming two white men attacked him and put a noose around his neck. A few holes appear in Jussie's story.

I really wanted to believe Jussie's story, I was hoping this would alter my thoughts on it and change the narrative, I'm afraid the lies seem even more evident now.

The story is just all over the place, it's like something out of a comedy farce, if two guys attacked me I don't think I'd be taking my Subway home with me.

After Jussie's failed return last year, that awful holiday movie, this felt like a strong attempt to try and exonerate Jussie and put him back on the market.

There are a couple of interesting people here, I thought the Osundairo brothers seemed like really down to earth and amusing guys, Gloria Schmidt seemed so fun and down to earth, I liked her.

One question though? In Chicago are there no other cameras??

5/10.

Words fail me.

To try and pass off an act like that's that has so much evidence as Smollet being misunderstood and trying to drum up sympathy is astounding.

What's next for Rehill.

'Harvey Weinstein, the misunderstood gentleman'? I'm not kidding. If they try and redeem Smollet in this manner then anyone is fair game.

In conclusion, this film is a great example of trying to redeem a self destroyed career and not take any accountability for you actions.

1/10.

I'm embarrassed for Netflix. Jussie can't help himself and it's obvious this is a desperate pitch to resurrect his career. But Netflix is just showing their desperation (and flaunting their politics) with this very weak "documentary". I will seriously consider ending my Netflix subscription once the last season of 'Stranger Things' has ended.

What was the point of this documentary? After watching the Jussie Smollett Netflix documentary, my opinion hasn't changed if anything, he looks even more guilty. This whole thing is a cringe-worthy disaster. He's doubling down instead of owning up, and it's almost painfully pathetic to watch. The guy torpedoed his own career, and anyone still defending him is willfully ignoring reality or just plain stupid.

It's hard to imagine a more embarrassing and destructive event in one's life, and it is so complete that no retelling of the tale can undo any of the affects of said event. You would have to move to a distant planet to escape this. The evidence is too compelling, the hoax so well investigated that attempts to retroactively provide a measure of redemption fail profoundly. When Smollett exclaimed he was "not suicidal" while being taken to jail after conviction belies the fact that he destroyed his life, killed his own reputation with such a fierce finality that it is not reversible.
