Smollett Saga Staged? I hope not, but...

In my opinion, the whole Jussie Smollett situation doesn't seem to be going well, well... not for Jussie Smollett anyway.

Smollett claims that he was attacked, while talking on his cell phone with his manager, by two individuals wearing MAGA caps. They splashed bleach on Smollett, punched him in the face, called him racial AND homophobic slurs then wrapped a thin rope around his neck before fleeing the scene -- all while Smollett hung onto his Subway sandwich. Smollett's manager supposedly heard the whole thing because he was still on the phone. Smollett never hung up phone. Smollett said that he then went to an apartment to seek safety. Smollett didn't call police, his manager did.

Later, two Somalian males were picked up by Chicago Police at the O'Hare airport. They fit the description of two individuals wearing MAGA caps from a nearby surveillance camera close to the location in question.
