Charges against Jussie Smollett ‘dropped’
Prosecutors have dropped all charges against US actor Jussie Smollett for allegedly staging a racist and homophobic attack, his lawyers say.
The Empire actor attended a court hearing in Chicago on Tuesday, where a judge reportedly dismissed the case.
Smollett told police he was attacked by two men in the Illinois city on 29 January.
His attorneys maintained on Tuesday that the actor was attacked by two unknown individuals.
