“Empire” showrunner Brett Mahoney is unwavering in his support for show star Jussie Smollett, regardless of what twists and turns an ongoing Chicago Pd investigation unearths.
“I believe and stand by @JussieSmollett,” Mahoney tweeted on Sunday. “Keep your head up. @EmpireWriters @EmpireFOX“
I believe and stand by @JussieSmollett . Keep your head up. @EmpireWriters @EmpireFOX

It appears that most of the comments on Mahoney’s tweet are not as optimistic regarding Smollett’s account of what occurred on the night he says he was jumped by two men in Chicago.
As it turns out, Smollett knew the men, who are Nigerian brothers, and one was his personal trainer. The men, who were originally persons of interest and then suspects, were released from police custody after telling cops that Smollett paid them to stage the attack, per CNN.
Smollett’s attorneys deny the attack was a hoax.
