Exclusive! Empire Star’s attackers’ photos emerge

The Chicago police department has discovered through its investigations that ‘Empire’ star Jussie Smollet had filled a false case where he claimed that two white men beat him up and hurled racial and homophobic abuses towards him.

Doubt was later cast on his account after US media reported that police believed Jussie Smollet may have paid two Nigerian brothers to stage the attack.

CBS Chicago obtained footage which showed the two brothers buying materials, including ski masks, that had allegedly been worn by the actor’s attackers.

One of the brothers is Smollett’s personal trainer and both have worked as extras on Empire.
