    I'm not ready to believe "sources within".  I'll believe an official Chicago PD statement.  Not saying he didn't do it himself....just not ready to believe the hype over the "victim" yet.
    Yeah, I'm definitely comfortable just waiting to hear the results of a complete investigation on this one. I have no opinion at the moment (i had never even heard of this guy before this story broke btw), aside from thinking it's all very weird. I need to know the details and answers to the whys.
    People having never heard of this guy is his motivation. Now everyone knows his name. He will get charged with filing a false police report and nothing of consequence will happen, then he will no on talk shows and probably end up on some reality tv shows that idiots will watch and he will make more money than he would have in his acting career. 

    He's on the show Empire, and if I look it up I see that it was the number one rated show in the 18 - 49 demographic for three seasons. Descriptions of it online say "Other than sports programming, the show made more money for its network last year than did any other series, including advertiser favorites American Idol and The Big Bang Theory."

    So probably he was already making money. 
    supposedly the rumors were he was being written out of the show
    The producers of the show said it was not true when this first happened.

    These are allegedly the brothers that were involved. Didn't he say he single handedly fought them off lol. What a crazy story. 


    So that skinny little fuck beat these 2 off...now his story is believable.

    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.

    Fuck this guy.  Glad they're charging his dumb ass with a crime.  The whole thing sounded shady from the beginning.  To fake something like this when there are plenty of real hate crimes going on in the world is so ridiculous.

    Sounds like it related to him being pissed off at his salary.

    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.

    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.

    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.
