ACCORDING TO #TMZ-“"#Empire" star #JussieSmollett was brutally attacked in an apparent hate crime so violent he had to be hospitalized ... TMZ has confirmed. The incident went down around 2 AM Tuesday in #Chicago, and according to one report, 2 men wearing ski masks placed a noose around Jussie's neck during the attack. #ThatGrapeJuice.Net says Jussie had recently received a creepy letter with cut out letters spelling, "You will die black f**k!” Law enforcement sources tell us Chicago PD is investigating the incident as a battery. We know Jussie was admitted and treated at Northwestern #Memorial Hospital after the attack, but he's already been released. The 35-year-old star confirmed he's gay in 2015 during an interview with #EllenDeGeneres, and said he hoped to help other gay people feel less alone.” (via @tmz_tv) #rap #hiphop #actress #hustleandflow #hiddenfigures #proudmary #personofinterest #karatekid #nogooddeed #babyboy #thinklikeaman #empire #fox #followus #following #followforfollowback #follow4followback
