Brothers implicated in Jussie Smollett 'hoax' attack sue the 'Empire' actor's lawyers.
The two Chicago brothers who claim Jussie Smollett paid them to help stage what police deemed a"hoax" attack filed a defamation lawsuit on Tuesday against the"Empire" actor's lawyers.
But the actor immediately held a press conference to continue denying the allegations made against him, saying he had been"truthful and consistent on every single level since day one. I would not be my mother's son if I was capable of one drop of what I was accused of." Geragos and Glandian, in a statement, called the lawsuit"ridiculous" and said they look forward to"exposing the fraud."
In a joint statement released by their attorneys at a news conference on Tuesday in Chicago, the brothers, who also go by the names Abel and Ola Osundairo, said they are fed up with the"lies" being told about them by Smollett's legal team. "Let me make one thing clear: The Chicagoan brothers told the truth. They could have remained silent," said Gloria Schmidt, one of the attorneys representing the brothers.
