Jussie Smollett, Chicago settle lawsuit for false crime claims

May 2, 2025 | Government, Law, Prominent People

Jussie Smollett and the city of Chicago have reached an agreement in a lawsuit related to his false 2019 attack report.

The city had sought $130,000 from Smollett for filing a fake police report, claiming he was attacked in a racially charged incident.

  • Two brothers testified that he paid them to stage the attack.
  • Initially, charges against Smollett were dropped, but later reinstated amid public pressure.

The settlement details are pending as both parties “need more time to finalize documentation.”

Lucem News Editor’s Opinion: Jussie Smollett faked a hate crime, lied to police, wasted taxpayer resources—and now he cuts a deal with the city like it’s just a parking ticket. In Chicago, apparently, justice is as staged as Jussie’s “attack.”
