    Now he's screwed.....
    He deserves to be charged for falsifying a report to police. What a fucking loser. 
    Yup. If he's indicted by the grand jury, charged and found guilty, the LBGQT community should vilify him. This type of behavior is super harmful to real, future victims who's claims may be doubted.  I also hope it causes him to be shit canned from Empire. He did it for publicity. Well, he got some publicity. And I hope he's rewarded with a career change. Maybe Subway will hire him. They got some press out of this.
    This will cause pause in any new hate, racist, gay crime that comes up next.

    He single handed served hate mongers a W on a silver platter.

    Nah, Celebrity Apprentice 2021. Trump will need to be back in the spotlight after he loses and he'll be recruiting a gaggle of losers to lap up his bullshit.

    All this because an asshole making 65 000 grand an episode was not happy with being an overpaid entertainer.  Hopefully, he loses everything.  The Chicago police have better things to do than to deal with morons likes this.

    There are homicides daily that go unsolved in Chitown.   They solved this in 3 days...

    He was dumb enough to think this was a good idea in the first place, so the check writing doesn’t surprise me.

    He has been removed from his TV show for the last 2 episodes of the season.  I would say he is as dumb as rocks...

    If this guy did indeed pay these 2?

    At no point did he think there was the slightest chance that this might lead to career suicide? At no point did he realize that this scheme might just backfire? Did this guy now catapult himself in to the top 10 of the "Dumbest Human Beings Walking Planet Earth" ?



    Top 10 might be low

    Any time I try to say that when someone is accused of sexual misconduct, and get absolutely torn apart by most people on social media. I also got torn apart about it with this issue - when I said (elsewhere) that I wanted to wait and hear more once the Chicago media started running with the fake attack story, fucking everybody dog piled on me for being unwilling to admit the truth or whatever.
