Cover, cover the story is crumbling. Once again, great journalism. Activist Press.

It’s a hoax

rolandsmartin Right,'unconfirmed ' nothing he claims hasn't been proven either in other words we don't know if he's telling the truth. Smollett forgot about all the cameras

Just stop it AP.

I sure hope it’s NOT a hoax 🤨🤨🤨😞😞😞 I keep asking “why would he lie” He had a promising future, why destroy that.!!

If it turns out to be a hoax... how many will double down and how many will apologize?

He shall now be known as 'that hoax homo'.

So just checking, the two Nigerians who attacked him are MAGA supporters and look white at night? Hmm a bit confused.

...for now...

Wow, this young man is being victimized twice. Shame on these comments.

Shame on him!

Confirmed enough.

Wonder how big the payoff was?

Give it a few more days 😂

Well when you figure it out let us know, seems weird to report on it otherwise.

MrJonCryer Have you read these busted up comments from racist 🇷🇺 🤖 ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Come on - this was not a hoax

This also is unconfirmed

The telephone records Smollett submitted to the police were heavily redacted & could potentially have been changed. Since this is an investigation why can’t the police obtain the records from the telephone carrier themselves? Warrant?

Weird that the AP didn't run 'police say the claims of attacks by MAGA-hat wearers are unconfirmed' in the first place.

Did it happen. Or not.. this story was made up from the start

Its a hoax a damn hoax

I think we knew that when it was first reported

Nope...confirming here! It is confirmed! You can’t be stupid enough to have ever fallen for this!

I do believe it happen but he paid some peeps to do it 🤷🏻‍♀️

He needs to be arrested for his hoax.

Since Jussie first made his allegations, there has been a chorus of folks doubting his claims. If he were a woman, it would be unthinkable to doubt the claims. I don’t know if the doubt is sexist, racist, homophobic or all or none of the above? In any event, it’s sad!

Somebody about this .. i dunno.. if he lied he’s finished.

Until Friday morning or Monday morning. Thursday breaking news is boring.

Yeah, it was a hoax.

So, equation time: unconfirmed truth = unconfirmed lie u̶n̶c̶o̶n̶f̶i̶r̶m̶e̶d̶ truth = u̶n̶c̶o̶n̶f̶i̶r̶m̶e̶d̶ lie truth = lie Wait! That doesn't seem right!

Of course. They HAVE to deny unauthorized leaks or they risk tainting investigation.

Maybe it should say being confirmed

It doesn't matter that he lied, he's exposing the issues that minorities deal with on a daily basis. -the mental gymnastics liberals will use

Anthony Guglielmi (AJGuglielmi), chief communications officer for the Chicago Police, said 'we have no evidence to support their reporting' after reports claimed that an attack on actor Jussie Smollett was staged.

What he said happened, from the getgo, I knew and many knew was simply false.

rolandsmartin The people work with him he is about to get wrote off empire

Y’all reporting is falling off.

LockHimUp LockHimUp LockHimUp !!!!!

But closer to the truth then what you guys were trying to push a week ago.

LockHimUp

Shouldn't be late night swiping and trying to cover your tracks.

Lock his ass up!

Chicago police? Yep. Sounds right!! Not surprised!!

The two person’s of interest happen to be Black...

Produce the bleach stained cloths he should have provided to police to substantiate his claim.

Hoax from a faux man

rolandsmartin He did not say they were wearing MAGA hats, IMHO- Fox Fake news was “probably “ behind that —wearing MAGA hats

Sounds like a deliberate leak to me so that they can see how he acts now that they are on to him

“Unconfirmed” 🤣

Neat use of word - trying to spin the story. Other way to write is: UNCONFIRMED that it is NOT a staged hoax.

Goddammit.

Damn tho all the cameras! 🤷‍♀️

Just not ready to confirm his hoax.

It will be confirmed as soon as they get enough evidence. Jussie will be prosecuted no doubt about it.

Dudes career is over and rightfully so. He couldn’t even act his way of the lies he weaved

He lied!Knew from the start

It already broke CPD had JesseSmollett phone records. They used the deleted or redacted numbers from his copy to track down the person of interest.

JeffPassoltFOX9 This story has always been an IQ test

The media, omitting important facts and leaking information before it has been corroborated, just to get ratings, but then fact checking everything a politician says.

Unconfirmed WTF does that mean. Either correct or not

RobRe62

'Unconfirmed' means police believe it was a hoax, but cant quite prove it yet.

Give it up It’s over... he lied!

sure

running as much defense as possible till the last second. If it come out it was a hoax, AP won’t run a story. Calling it.

Crash and burn ... you are done for good

Scorpio in Dirty Harry pays a man $200 to beat him severely, then reports to a hospital claiming he is a victim to police.

Hoax!!!

I hope that it wasn’t a hoax but to be honest that was the first thing I thought.

This is a NON story

You just can't say it, can you AP?

rolandsmartin That is Russia saying it was a hoax. They kill LGBT people. They want you to not care about this.

He should be charged if this is confirmed to be a false report

NO!!! They did NOT say HOAX

BREAKING: We we’re just kidding it was definitely a hoax.

Unconfirmed but not false!? 🤔

Ok we will wait 10 minutes until its real cookierun

This is so confusing.

and an unconfirmed story is news how

Smollett needs to be jailed for what he did. I gave him the benefit of the doubt & fought with others about not jumping the gun. But after every red flag that's come out thus far - him not being injured, his sketchy interview, lies, I'm done. Jussie's a heinous, conceited asshole

Jeez this isn't news. Now for the criminal charges before he starts apologizing for being drunk and confused.

Yea but they didn’t say not true he is about to find out you can’t lie to the police and make them look bad and get away with it the two people they raided this morning are his buddies take it as you want to anyone smart can see the writing on the wall he set this up

It also means the attack on JussieSmollet Not being a hoax is unconfirmed.

If this is not stunt, in which I pray for you to have peace, but if it IS a stunt.then you entered the halls of our ...liar in chief. Not a positive for you. Because of how we all fed up with our daily illusion tampering that trick will only hurt you. PeAce oUt.

So what exactly are you reporting? Is the CPD saying that it’s not a hoax? Where is the evidence leading them? What’s the status of the investigation? This headline leaves me with more questions than answers.

Yea, it was like negative 30 degrees that night in Chicago. But I’m sure two white dudes were walking around with bleach and a rope that night. And the two “suspects” that he said looked like the people who did it, ended up being non white and 1 worked as an extra for empire.🤦🏻‍♂️

Unconfirmed but not denied. issahoax

Hahaha Twitter gettin worked

I think Smollett is lying.

As are his claims, unconfirmed that is to say.

Al Sharpton replay of the Past. Fugazi this clown is All Day. Career ➡️👎 TOAST

Count on it.

Look just how far someone will go because they hate the president of the United States this is disgusting and most of us knew it was staged he was trying to gain points with somebody bigger than him

Get Robert Mueller on the case and we shoukd get an answer in a decade or two

Who give a Fuck!!!!!

You lie AP. Trying to cover your fakenews lies. You are the enemy of the American people. We will see your demise.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Trust us, it’s a hoax. They all are.

If it's found out this was a publicity stunt or he just made it up to try to score points against the President his a** needs to be charged

The Punishment for filing a false police report are what? We need evidence.....

Only you clowns claim hoax is unconfirmed. Other 99% report hoax is confirmed even CNN

Hoax.

guys I can't handle the suspense. I need to know if this hate crime is real so we can include it with conversations about all the other hate crimes. If its a lie, then srsly not cool. I haven't paid attention to this because the details have been unclear for a while.

They need a little time to run it by the DA.

Unconfirmed. Not untrue.

They're not denying it...

his story is falling apart faster then dr fords did.

Hmmmm, Morton Downey Jr. comes to mind.

The age of social media and verified news 👀

Yeah they're still trying to figure out how to spin it.

They legally can't comment on an investigation until it's completed. They can't confirm or deny.

So did the guy kick his own ass, or did he not actually get beat up?

Lol

Jussie Smollet is as trustworthy as Bill Cosby’s punch bowl ThingsMoreCredibleThanJussieSmollet JussieSmollet

They’re probably being paid off as we speak to cover for this POS

K

Those police are a hoax and live for blood

Ahhh shit! CPD is leaking!

Here's the video of JussieSmollett

It will be confirmed soon. They just simply dotting their i's and crossing their t's to officially confirm.

Police are lying they’re defending and covering the racist attackers
