Black actor beaten and almost lynched by mask wearing thugs

@Snow96

Then why write him out of this season?

If they can kill off main characters periodically and without warning on Game of Thrones, surely they can figure out how to get rid of a supporting character on a podunk TV Series like Empire.

I’m missing your point. I would guess that if he’s convicted, he’ll be gone permanently. Somewhat like what happened with Kevin Spacey. It’s not that hard to figure.

Spacey was not convicted of anything. His firing was based solely on credible allegations.

@Cortez

Im sorry didnt Roseanne call a black woman a monkey

Yeah, that’s so much worse than filing a false crime report about a racist attack that was scripted by the “victim.”

@FreeAndClear

Stop it please. You are better than that. Isaiah Washington was fired basically on the spot.

Wow! Did you just demand that a Mod stop posting?

I really hope you are kidding. Lol

Credible. Oh really? When was that adjudicated prior to his firing?

[MarkyS]

Yes!

Thank you.

The show producers found the allegations credible. That’s all that they needed to fire him. The allegations against Smollet are credible too, certainly credible enough to justify firing him (per recent industry standards.)

@thinkingman

thats baloney

see roberts’s interview.

total joke

That was a single solitary interview. One. Uno. So what?

[madasheck]

@Snow96

Just pointing out the difference in immediate calls for Barr’s show to be boycotted, and such and she last her job almost immediately on something that wasn’t even illegal.

Wwhere all Smollett everyone is like — lets just wait and see how it plays out in court, he’ sinnocent until proven guilty ya know.

There was no question with Barr from day one what she said. There was with Smollett. Not making excuses. It’s the way it came down. And that support is crumbling.

@conan

I thought it was the job of reporters to validate/corroborate the stories before making it public?

They did. They reported the facts that were known. They aren’t mindreaders and either is anyone on this board.

[thinkingman]

a defining interview

just becuse it is singular doesnt mean it can be dismissed.

@Samm

@madasheck

The story was reported as it was known.

No … the story was reported on as fact when it was nothing but an allegation. And then, the false allegation (as it began to become apparent to be just hours after the initial reports) was elaborated on and politicized for days afterward both by MSM and News Commentary even offering Smollet a platform to expound on his “ordeal” without challenging a word of his story. It was a disgustingly incompetent and dishonest display of biased partisan journalism.

Show me that every SINGLE SOLITARY NEWS REPORT from real media was not factually accurate as the facts were known at that time when the story first hit. And notice I said factually accurate as the facts were known – not guessed at – by pundits and posters on an internet message board.

‘bout time

but he still gets support from some on the set and hollywood

From your post. “Some on the set and in Hollywood.” Shall we talk about all the wild-eyed crazies supporting Trump?

In my history here, mods as posters are “honored guests.” Mods as mods are a different story.

[thinkingman]

the more i hear about this the more stunned i am

he’s a freak that dude

he genuinely needs help

[madasheck]

@thinkingman

not surprised. hollywood is nothing but deranged leftists. they are probably proud of him

@madasheck

Hollywood is nothing but deranged leftists, huh? Actually, the deranged were conservatives like John Wayne who was a racist and homophobic to boot.

Check out his 1971 Playboy interview. Is the right proud of him? Are you?

@thinkingman

this doesnt have anything to do with the long dead actor from decades ago.

latimes, being the leftist rag that it is, is naturally going to comb through hollywood history to pull down another statue in attempts to offset this nutball.

doesnt change his deranged scam and the sickness he has

Your creating a narriative that wasn’t written by the reporter and is only in your imaginations.
