‘Empire' Actor, Jussie Smollett, Charged With Making False Police Report

"Empire" actor Jussie Smollett surrendered to authorities Thursday morning. He is charged with one count of felony disorderly conduct for filing a false police report. Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said Smollett first faked a letter using racist and homophobic language. Johnson said when that didn't get attention Smollett paid $3,500 to two brothers to stage the attack. One was an extra on "Empire" and the other was Smollett's personal trainer.
