January 29th 2019 - Actor Jussie Smollett was the victim of an attack in Chicago, Illinois which is being investigated as a possible hate crime. According to police reports, he was assaulted after leaving a fast food restaurant by two men in ski masks who made racial and homophobic slurs and then poured an unknown liquid on Smollett and put a noose around his neck. Smollett identifies himself as a gay man and his mother is African-American. Further reports claim Smollett told police that his attackers touted "MAGA" (Make America Great Again) during the assault. Smollett said that he fought off the attackers and then admitted himself to Northwestern Memorial Hospital from which he was released "in good condition" later that morning. - File Photo by: zz/Dennis Van Tine/STAR MAX/IPx 2018 5/14/18 Jussie Smollett at The 2018 Fox Network Upfront in New York City.
