Jussie Smollett’s brother appeared to cast doubt in the Chicago Police Department’s investigation into the hate crime hoax attack the "Empire" actor was convicted of last month. Jocqui Smollett took to his brother Jussie’s Instagram account on Friday to pose the question as to why the Chicago Police Department "needs such a PR DEPARTMENT as if they are a Hollywood film studio." "Because their entire SURVIVAL rides on FEEDING YOU FICTITIOUS STORIES that they DESPERATELY need YOU to buy," Smollett claimed in the caption of a 3:20-minute video shared to the actor’s Instagram profile in which he took aim at Anthony Guglielmi, who at the time of the CPD’s investigation into the Smollett hoax was the acting Chief Communications Officer for CPD and the Office of the Police Superintendent.
"This is Anthony Guglielmi, former spokesperson for the Baltimore Police Department.That is, before he was fired for making insensitive comments about violence in the city," Jocqui Smollett began in the video post. "In 2015, Anthony was reassigned to low and behold the Chicago Police Department, where he was their spokesperson for many years.
He oversaw communications around tragic events like the killing of Laquan McDonald. He oversaw the communications around when CPD received a consent decree from the federal government, basically telling them that they need to get their act together, and there is way too many acts of corruption happening at that department," Smollett continued. The actor’s brother went on to claim that Guglielmi "was responsible for creating and casting a lot of doubt in Jussie's story within just 48 hours of Jussie being attacked through his tweets and through his interviews with the media.

Rooting for love! Kaley Cuoco offered her opinion on Meet Cute costar Pete Davidson‘s romance with Kim Kardashian — and the couple definitely has her stamp of approval.
joining the cast of “Chicago” on Broadway.I can now attest that the actress and “Baywatch” babe moves confidently, carries a tune and, you know, all that jazz.Anderson, 54, started her eight-week run as foxy Roxie Hart in the musical Tuesday night, and she was greeted with the kind of crowd euphoria that few shows have received during this tricky season — let alone a production that just turned 25 years old. Her sons, Dylan Jagger Lee and Brandon Thomas Lee, were sitting in the Ambassador Theatre, decked out in their midweek finery, supporting their famous mom. For Tuesday’s other, non-blood-related ticket-buyers, Pam might as well have been Ethel Merman considering the roars. She was swell, she was great.It helps that Roxie — a 1920s adulteress who murders her lover and becomes a tabloid darling as she argues self-defense — is the perfect part for the entertainment icon. Producers Fran and Barry Weissler — whose whole show is in terrific shape — have printed money for decades by cycling out an array of stars in the lead roles. However, hardly any (save for Melanie Griffith, maybe) know first-hand what it’s like to be front-page news the way Anderson does. When her Roxie is bombarded by reporters and flashbulbs at the courthouse with her smooth-talking lawyer Billy Flynn (Ryan Silverman), there’s a world-weary wisdom and a learned darkness to the actress that, intentional or not, separates her from the many Roxies who so often go overboard with squeals and emoting. Anderson is also very funny.

Attorneys representing Jussie Smollett in his fake hate crime case have filed a malicious prosecution complaint in response to a defamation suit filed by Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo — two brothers who testified that they had participated in the elaborate hoax — claiming that one lawyer on the defense team defamed the pair when she suggested they had been wearing "whiteface" while carrying out of the ordeal. Tina Glandian made comments on NBC's "Today" show in March 2019, shortly after the Cook County State's Attorney announced it was dropping charges accusing Smollett of lying to police about the incident two months earlier, and in those remarks, Glandian alleged that the Osundairo brothers, who hail from Nigeria and are Black, might have "put makeup on" to disguise their color.
