Jussie Smollett sued by the city of Chicago for $130k
Chicago has sued “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett to recoup the costs of investigating a racist, anti-gay attack that officials say Smollett staged.
City lawyers filed a civil lawsuit Thursday in a Cook County court after local prosecutors in March dropped all criminal charges against him.
The legal action comes just days after Smollett refused a city demand that he pay more than $130,000 to reimburse Chicago
Smollett denies orchestrating the Jan. 29 incident as a publicity stunt.
