Jussie Smollett has reached a settlement with the city of Chicago over the 2019 ‘hate crime’ hoax lawsuit.
Smollett was convicted in December 2021 for lying to police about an alleged episode in Chicago two years before, where he claimed two men beat him, yelled homophobic slurs and placed a noose around his neck while wearing MAGA hats.
The former Empire actor’s, 42, conviction was overturned last year due to a due process violation.
