“He was sentenced to 150 days in jail but he only served six days.” I was sentenced to 200 days in jail but served 358 before even being sentenced. That’s the difference between a millionaire celebrity and a working class individual.
Damn that's so heartbreaking
That’s fucked up. I hate the American justice system.
@@hippie564 other justice systems being worse does not make this acceptable. Glad you’re okay with people getting imprisonment for weed and other bullshit but it’s not okay. Police brutality is out of hand. You think that monetary incentives are a good thing but policing itself has become a source of revenue. Tickets are profit. Police are not your friends. They don’t care about your health or safety. They enforce the law and collect money for the city. If you don’t see that then I honestly feel sorry for you. Like you’re honestly sitting here defending this system under a guys comment about how he spent an excessive amount of time in jail in comparison to his crime and actual sentence. Get your head out of your ass man.
@@hippie564 dude stop bringing up other countries. Like oh yeah this garbage is better than that garbage. Who cares. I didn’t say you defended any of that but you’re being a clown. I certainly am not just going to be quiet about my problems with our fucked up justice system just because it’s better than some others. That’s stupid as fuck. Like “let’s just suck it up guys cause North Korea has it worse!” Do you fuckin hear yourself
The fuck?! That's messed up man, I'm sorry.
You know you’re privileged when you have to pay to be oppressed 🤦🏽♀️
😂😂😂 love that!
@@punchblmers192 lmfao imagine being so disillusioned from society that you view this as black privilege rather than MILLIONAIRE privilege
@@punchblmers192 weirdo 😂
Black Privilege, the worst kind.
@@AquaJV no you are.
How this man did not die out of sheer embarrassment and still is able to continue to show his face is beyond me
Narcissists don't have shame, remorse, regret, empathy, NO feelings for anyone, no people like this would be insulted that you would think they should feel any of those feelings for others. Only their feelings count.
bet his momma said, "good try sweetie, I was hoping it would work too."
period
Right. Absolute embarrassment. Interview after interview, hearing your words played back, watching yourself pull emotions that you didn’t experience out…… I would have went into hiding
i legit heard a woman call his actions "lightweight noble" because "these things are happening. and he took it upon himself and put himself in the firing line to fight for things that are really happening"
That is up there with the dumbest things ive heard someone say in my entire life
I don’t know why but watching a man lying about a hate crime on national TV who says “fear mongrels” instead of “fear mongers” just made me feel like nothing in my life is really that bad. I could always be this dude.
You’re fear mongreling 😂
My sister adopted a mixed breed shelter dog that has severe anxiety issues from being abused by his previous owner. Technically she has a “fear mongrel”…
Poor Jetski, he’s doing a lot better these days.
“Cry havoc! And let slip the dogs of war.” -Julius Caesar
“Cry MAGA! And let slip the fear mongrels of mythical racism.” -Jussie Smollett
Okay I’m not the only one that went crazy when he said “fear mongrels” thank you for that. 😂
Spotted this comment right as I saw that part 😅
I feel like staging a hate crime to create racial division should, itself, be a hate crime.
Lmao true!
I would definitely support that idea. Good thinking!
YES
It should be considered one the worst kinds of incitement you can do in the US.
That would require common sense and that’s no allowed, anywhere near this case.
The thing that bothers me most about this is that if the cops had found two innocent but plausible suspects, Jussie would have eagerly helped send them to prison and never looked back. Narcissists like him are dangerous.
This is key! Absolutely despicable!
That's wild. Never thought of that part
Exactly 💯
@@steppin-razor 😂 well I guess you have the foresight of a 3 week old puppy !?
@@auntjenifer7774 aunty go back and finish the macroini for dinner tonight!
I think my favorite remark on the absurdity of Jussie's story was by Trevor Noah. This one question that lays bare how implausible the whole thing was: "Who are the MAGA supporters who hate gay people, who hate black people, but also happen to watch Empire?"
That's like skinheads at a Cher concert 😂
Thats like radical drag queens that are also biologists
Maybe he said that after the fact. I’m sure he fell for the whole thing and was calling cries of “racism” like all the other left-wing assholes until tell the truth came out.
@@daytonasayswhat9333 Not quite _after_ the fact, in fairness. He said it during a report about initial police suspicions about it being faked.
My favorite was "I feel like people would have believed me if I were white."
I was a 20 year old female when I was brutally pistol whipped at my job as a night auditor at a hotel during an armed robbery. Never quite got over it. This guy disgusts me.
Can’t imagine how many times u look over your shoulder in public. Hope it’s getting better.
Did you get a moose put on your neck
@@ahmadpcgamingdid you mistype noose or are you actually asking if someone had a moose put on their neck? Lol
@@hanspeter8011 It was intentional
@@ahmadpcgamingyou likin your own comments lol? Moose?
Calling himself the gay 2Pac is even more embarrassing then the whole event itself
Totally cringeworthy 😮 but at least he’s not suicidal 😂
He should of said, I'm the openly gay Tupac😂
@@MrBjorn6 He wasn’t any sort of Tupac. As a TH-cam creator eloquently explained, “Tupac was the gay Tupac and the straight Tupac. He was all the Tupacs.”
it really is a disaster. this guy stinks
But what criteria does he hold that would make him a 2Pac?
They have completely different upbringings, career paths, and different scandals. He doesn’t even look like 2Pac. This is just a narcissist jerking themselves off in front of an audience.
He was NEVER "extremely famous". Most people had never heard of him outside of those that watched Empire. Then, he became extremely infamous.
Yep.
I had never even heard of Empire until this.
@@jakezepeda1267 same... still no idea what it’s about.
This is so true, the first time I ever heard of his existence is when his stunt hit the news. He was never anymore than a C list celebrity. Maybe with time he could have become famous but he decided to do this crap instead of putting in the work.
@@patmccrutch3927if I remember it’s about a family within the music industry and he’s the son of a mogul basically. The show was mainly popular with the black community
Yes, I had no idea who he was before this. I had heard of the TV show Empire only because people had talked about a female character named Cookie. She was played by a woman that had previously been on this show called Person of Interest. I love her. Can't think of her name now. Sorry.
i can't comprehend the fact that he just kept on wearing the noose even after the police arrived. that's absurdly hilarious
That was my immediate thought too. Ive never had a noose around my neck but i coukdnt imagine choosing to wear one for an hour because it would make me feel vulnerable and weird and im not someone who was 'attacked by racists' and forced to wear one. . .
You mean the shoestring?
🤣🤣
😂
Is that self hate?!
"Faking a crime against yourself was deemed not a crime."
Meanwhile an average non-celebrity:
"You're going to jail for false reporting of a crime and wasting police resources.
I'm not justifying anything he did but didn't he serve like 5 months and was fined?
Pretty sure that some people tried to sweep it under the rug and plea him out but that pissed off some of the prosecution and they guaranteed he would face consequences.
Which would also normally happen to an average non-celebrity. In all fairness the Chicago PD handled it fairly well.
@@TheChryystal Another comment says he was sentenced to 150 days but only served 6. I don't know how big his fine was but it was probably pocket change to him.
Well from what I just read, his appeal was overturned a couple days ago and he is going to have to serve his sentence. Imagine if he would have just turned himself in, he'd have been long done with it already. Oh well, couldn't happen to a nicer narcissist. @@garbearfar1394
@@TheChryystalno they left him off with Community service for trying to start a race war
Jussie too stupid to start a race war. He was trying to disparage Trump and his supporters. I still don't get why he picked both racism and homophobia for this. Picking one probably woulda worked out better for him but he is so stupid he's gotta throw the "MAGA" in there while hiring very black men to attack him.... HE'S STUPID.@@beekeeper8474
Whenever life gets hard I always think to myself “at least I’m not Jussie Smollett.”
Amen! 😂
Even Jussie Smollet thinks that. That's why he made the hoax to begin with.
I've had a really rough time lately. I did a deep dive into this guy and I genuinely feel better about myself 😅
Thanks Jussie
That’s a good way to ground yourself in gratitude, lol
You mean *Juicy Smooyay.*
You know what’s worse here - it’s the fact that so much effort was put into this investigation because he was “somebody.” But for the rest of us normal nobodies, assault cases like this have minimal investigation so long as the person survives.
Great point. He was also a member of the 'persecuted minority'. He should get what he asked for...a lynching. Sub zero sympathy for him,his kind and the sycophants jumping around him like plagued fleas on a rat. I'm ashamed to have willingly viewed this sham spectacle.
It was being thoroughly investigated because the cops didn’t believe him. They were looking for evidence against him. Trust me, it was very obvious to the police from day one this was staged.
Exactly! 👏🏾
It's not the way you think, though.
If our case was going to have reporters at the station showing updates on tv every night - we would get the same treatment. It's not because he was so important, it was for their protection because it was going to be front page news. They knew he was full of sht when he first told them the story - they did the investigation to prove it to protect themselves when they came out and said it on national news.
Truth!!!!
What bugs the hell out of me is how he presents himself as someone who cares about POC, yet he was willing to throw 2 black men under the bus to save his own skin. 😡
He's getting in with the masons
Exactly, that's not mentioned enough.
The POC thing is just a convenient excuse to cover up shitty behavior.
yeah but they are dark skinned blacks, and they are beneath Jussie and his white tone blackness, dont you know the black community caste system rules?
they all dont care for POCs or whatever else made up Group.
They just care to attack and erase White Epople from the Planet
It was heartbreaking when he saw his attackers face for the first time when the judge ordered a mirror to be brought into the courtroom.
😂😂😂
Best comment!!!!!
😂
Jussie's biggest crime is just being cringe af
All attention is good attention. UwU
That tearful interview was puke-worthy 🤮
He's a civil rights hero, valiantly fighting against the oppression of his sisters, brothers, and non gender-conforming siblings!!✊🏿🏳️🌈
What gets me is how he thought anyone with at least a double-digit IQ would believe such a stupid story. Lol
@@baconsarny-geddon8298
Why gender nonconforming? He’s gay, not trans 🤨 the guy is a fuckin lunatic lmao
The idea of him just sitting in his apartment with a noose around his neck for 45 mins is so incredibly dumb, it’s like a comedy skit. It’s kid logic.
Even walking with his apartment with it on is too much. If it were me and it really happened i would have taken it off and held on to it.
Did he take pictures ?
well the whole noose part at 2am.....its like.......how could he think people would believe that? this isn't 1800s alabama. and if ppl are THAT triggered to put a noose on you gonna have some serious bruises
It’s a level of stupidity I don’t think can be matched
When your sibiling hurts you when fighting so you wait for the parents to come home to start crying.
Aww the creative director who called the cops seemed so upset and he was traumatized for no reason. He must feel so betrayed.
Good for him for doing the right thing, though. I'm glad he didn't go along with his wishes and called the police and put it into action. He's someone you can rely on to take care of you, that's for sure!
It’s super rare you’re gonna find a manager in the entertainment industry that genuinely cares. Jessie apparently had one and he took it for granted like everything else.
He was totally used, wasn't he?
Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Nobody likes to be made a fool of. I imagine all the people that had his back and we're embarrassed, would probably never take his phone call. I wonder what he's doing with himself now?
Dangerous
The thought of Juicie sitting in his apartment for 45 minutes with a noose around his neck is hilarious 😂 adjusting it like a bowtie when the cops come
Lmao
Yea I bet he checked it in the mirror too 😂
That image has stuck with me for ages. Like what was he thinking?
💀💀💀💀
@@sven_bender Even more unbelievable is that he's going to sit around in a bleach-soaked sweater.
I went to school with Jussie's older brother, JoJo, decades ago. I remember one time their mother came into our homeroom class and began to yell and berate the teacher because Mrs. Lucas (teacher) had an issue with Jojo taking large amounts of time off school to act. I specifically remember their mother making a big scene and she kept repeating how he (JoJo) was booked for the show "Roseanne." And that somehow made them a big deal and didn't have to adhere to the rules. I was probably 13 at the time and found it all very weird and embarrassing.
I had a similar experience but not with a child actor for movies but a child model for advertisements. The parents were hard on her and she couldn't play like other kids because she always had to have perfect skin, nails, hair etc. She'd stay inside during lunch breaks and didn't go on play dates because she said she had to do homework. The poor thing would cry if she didn't pass her tests with an A+ and got just an A, because she knew she'd come home to angry parents. Those kind of parents are monsters. She was only 10 and 11 when she was in my class.
Wow...poor teacher! 😳😢 I'd have an issue with a student taking too much time off from class unless I got a note from a student's mother explaining his or her absence. Just our of curiosity, how was Jojo able to keep up with school work? 🤔
@MotoCouple HG Tudor should do a podcast on the Smollett family.
@Tanya Kasim Hi, It was the late 80's early 90's. There wasn't much oversight back then, compared to now. I don't remember Jojo missing large amounts of time, but when he did, it was a few weeks at a time. My school was known to foster and support famous kids and children of diplomats, politicians and local peofessional sport star's. I only got in the school because my mother used her bosses influence to get me in. I stuck out like a sore thumb, lol.
@Navajo 23 what school? I just looked and found an obscure article that stated what middle and high school they went too, so I'm interested to see if you're lying
I think it's very telling that he cannot help but insist that he fought back and even got a hit in on the attacker. It really exposes his narcissism, and the fact he's never really been attacked. The fact he cannot admit even when lying about an ambush, that someone got the better of him, makes it so obvious he is a narcissist.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I couldn't help but laugh at how accurate that statement is. He is exactly the kind of man to be a victim in a bank robbery but also come out with some of the cash which he managed to grab while he was tied and laying face down during the robbery
@@trefens5635exactly 💯 😂
@@shayvidatv 🤣🤣🤣 its scarily funny
Use a new word !
Narcissist is the right word. Keep using it. Nobody gives a 💩 about fairness to narcissists, because, by their very nature, narcissists don’t care about fairness to others.
As a black gay man who has had slurs thrown at him before, this whole case is just laughable and sickening. I truly feel he’s a greedy narcissist who is too caught up in his own pride and fame.
I'm sorry you had to experience such horrible abuse. You seem to be a brave person and honorable person.
you nailed it. he's really an entitled little assh@le
Exactly
Yes, in the beginning of this segment, the narrator mentioned that Smollet had hit a ‘plateau’-and whilst i saved money for traveling around this beautiful planet-I have become a practicing Buddhist-without a belief in reincarnation.
I’ve always had empathy for child actors, as well as the conditions of economic privation under which people in ‘the greatest country’ are forced to attempt to raise their children. The fact that Scientology encourages this is enough to make it suspect-I very much feel that the children of directors and actors ought to be enough. If anyone is interested, and black americans were very much at the forefront of this movement of the few to not ‘homeschool’ but ‘unschool’ their children, Astra Taylor gives a talk about her own experience simply playing as a child, and the fact that children naturally are interested in learning, they certainly need NOT to be institutionalized into what I recall during my first year as being damned close to the adult work week, and ‘socialization’ does come up, as she and her siblings noted that ‘school kids’ were unabashedly ‘mean’. It’s an excellent conversation, and Finland has succeeded in improving their education by adding a good chunk of: *PLAY to their student’s day*
Exactly 💙
Wearing the noose for hours afterwards is like walking around with a knife in ur arm after a failed murder.
😂😂😂
Pulling out a knife can cause more bleeding actually and can even put you in a critical condition. So you should never pull out an object stuck in you.
@@iboildogsalive6535yeah but it's different when you leave it in like a decoration for attention lmao
@@vvampyra I don’t think you understood what I said.
@@iboildogsalive6535 I,,, did,,,
That little speech Jussie gave at the end of his sentencing professing his innocence should tell anyone how much of a narcissist he truly is. It's like he's already thinking of the future, like this is going to be the fantastic inspirational scene in which the actor who plays Smollett in "the inevitable biopic" will nab an Oscar for.
YES! Spot on! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
That's what narcissists do when they get caught, claim victimhood. They are never going to admit any wrongdoing.
Yes!!! Its amazing how they stick to the lie no matter what!!! Just like Amber talking about she will stand by her testimony til her dying day!!! Madness!!! The over inflated ego is a dangerous puppeteer!!!
@@starlingswallow 😂😂😂😂
He's trying to imply that because he's gay jail is dangerous for him. It's so manipulative and disgusting. It's giving "Because you held me responsible, it'll be your fault when something bad happens to me
Robin is such a great interviewer. She doesn't establish her perspective and lets him speak. Further, she uses a great reporter's best tool, silence, to let him keep sharing more baffling embellishments to his story that ultimately rendered it more unbelievable.
I feel like good interviewers have had some level of psychological training or have the knowledge. The silence technique is used by police interrogators to create awkwardness in hopes they continue to talk and talk. And it works, especially if the person is a liar.
Robin is usually very good but she fails to ask basic questions and after the fact admits there were red flags...... She didn't challenge him on anything. If this was a Republican or Trump supporter this would of been very different.The media is just as much a disgrace as Jussie.... The media doesn't care about the truth. The media cares about pushing their agenda, dividing and conquering the American people.....
Same with Gayle King. That R. Kelly interview is a masterclass of just listening to someone incriminate themselves.
There is a saying that goes, "A wise man says what needs to be said. A fool just needs to say something." Jussie just proved himself a fool by not shutting up when he needed to.
@@inmyidoleraThe fact that she didn't flinch when he stood up and screamed was award winning 😂
"Did I make that up too?" "According to the FBI investigation, yes." I laughed so hard 🤣🤣🤣
The "too" was perfect -- like he's admitting it.
Dreading always knows the exact amount of snark to add lmao
He says it as we're all thinking it.
Timestamp 🙏please
💀💀💀
Dude really treated life like it was a movie. Using that gay Tupac line twice in seperate instances and talking so pretentiously about himself like he is some kind of MLK figure is beyond cringe.
Right? Like at his show days afterwards where he tells the crowd he had to be there and not let those mfs win. He hoped to look like Bob Marley (a true hero) who sang at a concert after being shot and said something similar. 🙄
He's a deplorable little maggot sucking on the teet of misplaced middle-class self-hatred. Absolutely despicable excuse for a human.
One of the things that stuck out to me was during the interview, he describes getting home and “there was no food”. He says it like someone talking about going hungry because they’re poor, or because they live in an area plagued by famine. Not the way someone would if they were describing running out for a sandwich because they hadn’t gone grocery shopping since getting home. Like he’s trying to evoke sympathy with every word.
I dunno. Maybe I’m just reading too much into it.
@@rosalindacastillo3126 man I had forgotten that story about Bob Marley. He performed while one of the bullets was still in his body, awaiting removal via surgery. What a sweet dude.
Did 2pac call himself the straight 2pac no just 2pac. Jussie should call himself whoever he wants without plugging the sexuality. It comes across so pathetic when ppl do that. I cant relate because i dont share mine i dont think it defines me and it shouldnt. If someone legit asked me id either answer or say nunyabiz but i wont broadcast it when its unsolicited.
Damn, his acting career that he's been working on since he was a child went up in smoke because of his greed and narcissism. What a way to go out.
His life and career was going really well and he completely blew it up
Yes exactly he totally ruined his career due to his narcissism
Not only that, work has been drying up for his actor siblings too
This should become something like a folk story that people will remember a thousand years from hence. The future people will listen and wonder how a person like him could really be so ridiculous and shamefully pathetic. A tragic/comic play could hardly do better than what Jussie managed to accomplish with this role of an era.
his career was going so well too. star of an acclaimed tv series smh he could’ve got more opportunities
I often think of all the stupid things I've said in my life when I'm laying in bed at night. But this has to be one of the most embarrassing things someone can do, on such a huge scale
I thought I was the only one. 😂😂
Yea, it makes me feel better about myself 😊
How do you face the world after this level of fuck up.
Omg i think about this too! Whenever videos of Karens go viral or someone becomes a meme!! Ugh! How cringe!!
That's why I'm glad I'm a nobody lmao
I was attacked in 2013 (as in, actually attacked, unlike Jussie 🙄). You are spot on when you said that someone who has been attacked will want to distance themselves from what just took place. If they had placed a noose around my neck, I sure as hell wouldn't leave it on for 45 minutes... I wouldn't even want to look at it.
I'm sorry you were attacked and I hope you are able to live through the pain. Never let your trauma dictate your future. God bless.
Same. I was se×μaIIy assauI†ed, not ASSAULTED-assauI†ed, but I felt similar. The clothes I had on felt _wrong._ I blamed them for what happened to me, and had to get them off my body to make the world feel okay again. I know that's not rational, but you're not thinking clearly in the immediate aftermath.
I'm so sorry for what you've been through.
@@WobblesandBean nah it’s assaulted
@@WobblesandBean That's horrifying. You aren't alone, and there are people who understand and will stand by you. It's striking that despite the attack on you, you are still able and willing to focus on the needs and feelings of others. You must be a kind and resilient person. It's hard to hide those qualities so I'm guessing that you have people in your life who admire and love you.
When I was SA'ed I ran away from the crime scene and as soon as I got inside I took off my clothes and took a shower. I felt disgusting and couldn't stand to look at the clothes again. It wasn't until after the shower that I realized I didn't call the police or anything I would probably have made the investigation hard. I never reported it for these reasons.
But 100% this is so accurate. Even talking about it is something I've only been able to do recently and it happened 5 years ago
“I was so poor, I had to work as a birthday clown and tend bar!”
So… like the majority of all young actors at the beginning of their careers?
“Jussie Smollett is a smart man.”
That’s a bold statement, sir.
This is the same guy who referred to “hate mongrels”.
@@Mizmoon2020he was probably trying to use "mongers" to sound smarter than he is
@@Mizmoon2020I have a fear spaniel. Not quite a mongrel; it’s a mixed breed.
He talks like a pubescent.
I'm not saying this out of disdain but he's definitely not smart.
😂
What’s even more unbelievable is the fact that with all the evidence showing what he did and why, he still denies it 🤷♀️
Oh narcissists like that will never admit they’re wrong no matter how much evidence you put in their face still just keep denying it.
Hes probably just trying to appeal to the last few of his fans that are too ignorant to care.
Yeah he just kept doubling down and doubling down. It's hard to imagine he'll ever work in front of the camera again. But life is long and memories are short. Certainly he has gotten his karma for all this already.
Yeah he’s wayyyy to deep in this lie 😂😂😂 he will die on this hill unfortunately
And still wont do his time
Ugh, it’s so hard to watch him valiantly mentioning how he “fought back” making it look like he was holding back tears. This guy is absolutely the worst. He set victims of all kinds back many years with this b.s because people will always be able to say “how do I know this victim is real? Remember Jussie Smollett?”
His acting wasn’t even that good, either.
@@smoothALOE I swear he’s got some weird technique for making himself cry. The vocal shuddering is somehow connected to it.
@@imdoneplus most actors probably have their own methods. Some of them are, indeed, odd.
I dont know if this is just me but im not easily spooked but i find people crying on command terrifying outside of his role in acting.
Tears might come easily to a person but fuck me if i ever clocked myself pretend crying even if i possessed that skill id be questioning my motivations and who that makes me.
'set victims back years'. That's not entirely correct.
There are victims in false accusation claims Derpy. Not really in this case but let's imagine what would have happened if there were two white guys walking around that area, that night.
If they had arrested 2 random white guys that night, the immediate pressure by mainstream media to lock them up and throw away the key would have been immense, there could have been riots if they weren't. The police may not have even bothered following the brothers in the taxi. In any verdict, those white guys' lives, as they knew them, would have been over and they may have to live the rest of their lives in fear and/or jail. Mainstream media would have done the works, linking them to white power groups and digging up any bad joke they made on social media and those guys, just out walking, would have been turned into public enemy number one.
Would Jussie have stopped them from being locked up for it? Of course not.
Would they have been instantly guilty in the court of public opinion? Very likely.
Would people care if they had been found innocent, and they can could go back to their lives as normal? No. Their lives would have been destroyed.
It is good that we are reminded that there are victims of false accusations. This case brings them a step forward to being recognised (something you failed to do). Although this is a hypothetical, and fortunately there weren't any victims like this here, please don't ignore that there are very real victims of false accusations.
We shouldn't rush to judgement and we should wait for more evidence and the police and courts to do their jobs. The court of public opinion and social media, sensational reporting makes this hard for stupid people but a case like this is exactly what is needed to remind them not to rush to judgement!
Wait for the facts people. Just wait for the facts.
I'm from Chicago, and most people thought he was full of shit from the start he said he was going out to get a sub sandwich at 1 am when it was -2 degrees outside that day.
Good to hear, I know a lot of celebrities and public figures still believe him
That's exactly what I said here in Wisconsin. I'm from Chicago and made a joke that if he walked for a Polish, or Italian beef combo, deep dish...then I would understand 😅
I get that.
Are subways really open 24/7?
@@M4RI4TIGER i can't think of any that are open that late unless in a airport or something
@triton423 can you name one? Just one of the famous celebrities you know that still believe him????
The irony of him accusing the people who didn’t believe him of “trying to separate us” is insane. Making up fake hate crimes causes way more separation than almost anything else I can think of. Smh
He tried to start a race riot
Facts 💯
And he said it with a straight face. Or gay face. You know what I mean.
@@DyspareEmbodied 😂
It’s pretty shameful that he didn’t actually do real time for this. He should have at least sat in jail for a year
That’s what irks me the most about this whole affair. People who are genuinely malicious but wealthy can escape serious consequences.
He cried like a baby and brought his mental health into it so...
@@davemccage7918 Nah he's gay and cried like a baby about why he couldn't go to jail and that's more to do with it than his money. He's not even that rich.
Only a year? And what of the fact that if the police were able to find (and pin this on) 2 innocent white men, how long do you think their sentences would have been?
He should’ve been charged with a hate crime and sent to jail for a decade, at minimum. And he should’ve been forced to pay for the entire investigation of this “crime” against him.
what happens when you have connections to the obamas
I love how "I'm scared of police brutality" Juicy's downfall was the police doing their job because of the media attention *he* wanted
Lmao!!! Ahhh a fellow Chappelle fan who also still refers to him as juicy 🤣🤣🤣 love it!!
I think Juicy's bullshit highlighted a major issue. That is, people going out of their way to find or fabricate oppression for clout when real oppression never hands on them at all. The only oppression he really faced was a consequence of his mediocrity as a musician and actor. No MAGA person even knew he existed until this came forward with this bullshit and it really only went in their favor when the truth was revealed.
@@michaeltwowolves3055 yep! He’ll always be that French actor, Juicy Smolliet! 😂😂
“The brothers couldn’t find a MAGA hat” was one of the funniest parts. That’s how widespread “MAGA country” spreads in Chicago. Lmao.
Lmao juicy
Jussie said during the interview," they're trying to separate us, and it's just not okay." That is such an ironic statement to make since he knew his hoax would cause fear and separation among people in the US. I really get embarrassed for him each time I watch him speak. The fact that he is still trying to save face *to this day* and claim his innocence is astounding.
Jussie stated he was worried about "police brutality" so then why would he ask the cop to turn off his body cam? That doesn't add up, we all know he's a liar but I just wanted to point that out also lol
Good point.
@@ronnieallie8490 thank you 🧡
And if he cared about black men's lives, then why was he willing to throw 2 black men under the bus to save his own skin? 🤔
And when he said he was concerned about police brutality, I thought he was concerned about his Nigerian friend whom he paid to attack him, nope just about himself lol.
My personal favorite is when he said he wouldn’t give his phone to investigators because “I have private music on it”
Bro, your intro on success being "getting out of bed for some" because of the sliding scale of ability touched me. That's me. And this life can make you feel like an abject failure when you're truly trying my best.

Could have gotten people killed.
Could have put two innocent men who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time in prison.
All for his goddamn ego.
This is far left ideology.
Middle child behavior to the EXTREME
@@MrISkatergirl what?
@@MrISkaterexactly 😂
My favorite part of this story is Jussie believing he could delete the calls and texts from his phone, and things would be fine, not knowing the police had already received his call logs from the carrier, and he was giving them a giant flashing red arrow pointed directly at the numbers on which they needed to follow up.
It's hilarious how someone thinks they can outsmart, with a few hours of thought, the people who have all the time in the world and do this for a living. Just top notch ego.
That's narcissism 🤣 stupid people who think they are smarter than everyone else.
Narcissism is a hell of a drug
And bottom notch intellect.
Jussie's story is actually hilarious. As mentioned, it's how someone who has never, ever, EVER been in any kind of a fight in his life imagines how a fight goes down. No, it's not like the movies. Unless you are a really experienced fighter, it's going to be chaotic and bewildering, and you don't notice details.
I cringed at the "tussling, tussling" at the media interview.
He didn't even think still holding the sandwich was odd 😂
words from one of my peers i looked up to when i was younger on fighting: “win or lose; your ass will be beat.”
@@thebargoblin3226 I like how my dad put it: Nobody really wins a fistfight. Someone just loses a little less.
@@charc0al_tv😂😂😂 My mother was mugged and actually managed to hang onto her sandwich which was squashed under her arm. Didn't even realize she still had it...
The type of sociopath he has to be at 53:19, to say, “we have these fear mongers trying to separate us. That’s not okay.” Sir that exactly describes what you did when you staged this attack.
He actually said mongrols not fear mongers. He is an idiot of the highest order.
also i love how he says fear “mongrels”. it’s perfect
there are at least four more moments like that that make my skin crawl
Don't forget his proponents at the time claiming that even that the attack was fake, "he brought to light serious issues that are happening across America." BLM supporters didn't learn anything while they were being sold the biggest grift.
@@realnuisance I picked up on that too !! Ugh what a pathetic fool. Still “ processing” the “narrative” these words make me sick
The thought of skinheads watching empire weekly but hating jessie character is hilarious
Exactly…..
Honestly, he could have gotten away with it if he hadn't overcomplicated it, he wanted the attack to unmistakably be targeted at him. He never considered 'why would they care so much about you that they'd stalk you randomly at 3 in the morning?' Had he played it off as a random attack and not had his lackies screaming 'EMPIRE F*G!' and just made it racially motivated, he might have even gotten away with it. But no, he needed people to know this attack was aimed for him, that he was such a hot topic that people were hunting him specifically. Also, the noose was way too much, someone attacking you puts a noose around your neck they are looking to choke you, not dress you up for Halloween.
The entire scenario was beyond cartoonish. It was a hate crime parody, really.
I’m surprised he didn’t have the two brothers wearing Confederate flag t-shirts with name tags that read, “Hi, My Name Is: BILLY JOE JIM BOB, How May I Oppress You, Today?”.
Jussie is, at best, a mediocre actor. But his writing skills? Straight garbage. He definitely should’ve stuck to his day job while he still had one.
100%
And should not have written a check. What a lame
This is why you shouldn't have actors write.
No fucking way he would got away with it!!! 😂😂😂😂 Did you read the report? Watch the video? It was hilariously bad and poorly thought out.
The biggest sign he was lying is when he still had the noose around his neck when the cops arrived. Someone who was actually victimized with a noose would have taken it off immediately as it would cause more trauma leaving it on.
No kidding. That's pretty much verbatim what the dreading narrator said. You should awaken yourself about plagiarism and being a goofy, parrot like copy cat.
Also it's a threat to have on . Soon as I was out of the situation (the scuffle)
I would rip it off as to not have it pulled or used against me ..
There were signs he was lying, but I would not call this the biggest one. There are trends but you can't accurately predict how every individual will react. Consider if what Smollett reported was true. We would be discussing his keeping the noose around his neck (or putting it back on when he knew cops had been called) as a sign of a completely different, tragic phenomenon.
The biggest sign was the story in general 😂
rich people will literally rather fake a crime than do real activism
The supply for racism doesn't meet the demand
I feel so bad for his poor creative director. I think he's probably the one most traumatized by the whole thing: his friend and client has just told him that there are violent anti-Black racists in the neighborhood. Jussie knows there's no threat. But, his friend doesn't. His friend feels an implied threat against his person, really.
Ya, dude seemed genuinely concerned and I feel bad for him too. I also wonder if he felt that the story was unlikely in that he had first hand knowledge of the event. The rest of the fools that hopped on the Juicy bandwagon likely didn't hear the details until they overreacted and spewed their hate for a non-existent "enemy"
If his friend was stupid enough to believe this there's no helping him. lol
@@phangirlable I mean, he may have suddenly been in fear of real racist attackers being somewhere nearby. The thought of Jussie potentially BSing him probably didn't even pass through his mind until the cops were there or something
he sounded touched in the head, how he was stupid enough to believe all that mess is beyond me
@@phangirlable It’s easy to call him stupid now that you know that the story is false, but you can’t blame him for not knowing that Jussie blatantly lied.
I was actually laughing when you mentioned he didn't want the police involved but big name politicians were demanding they get involved to find out who had attacked him. I imagine him telling them he was thankful but inside he's just thinking "OH CRAP OH CRAP OH CRAP."
He's a narcissist. He probably loved the attention

Nothing pisses me off more than nepo babies.
whose son he was?
@@twilit Some rich guy or something
Yup. He is an actor and a millionaire meaning he can’t connect with real people. He could have used his wealth and success to help actual victims of hate crimes or violence but instead he wanted to be seen as a victim to gain sympathy and popularity. Many people are still mad at him because he not only made himself look stupid but also tainted the reputation of the BLM movement because people are still dying every day by police violence and it takes our attention of those real victims.
“I’m the gay Tupac” will forever be the funniest statement ever made in pop culture 😂

Translation: I will always see myself as an authentic hero, and never as a selfish fraud.

Well that's the problem, because you can feel shame. Him on the other hand... I'm not so sure he does.
You just don't have the inner strength of folx like Jussie, and his sisters, brothers, and gender non-conforming siblings!! He's a FIGHTER!!
he's mentally ill. thats why he doesnt react to it the same way as we would.

“hey can u white cops pls turn your BODY CAMS OFF thanks”
right
Aw, Jay…your racist viewpoints are showing 🫣
😂😂
organizations like BLM demanded that all cops wear bodycams, because they thought it would prove that all black people are not guilty. When cops got bodycams it actually showed that most people who get arrested, no matter their color, get arrested for a reason. Get this, now, BLM are demanding that bodycams be removed. you cant make this shit up.
WORD 🤣🤣🤣
Whenever I feel inadequate in life I remember there are people like Jussie smollett in the world
His use of the word "tussled" instantly revealed this as a lie when I first heard it. No one who was violently attacked by 2 bodybuilders is going to say "we tussled". Wtf...
He wasn't attacked by two body builders…….he was attacked by two white males, who watched a TV show with gay characters and was willing to wait outside in minus 20 in the hope that he would take a walk at 2 am so they could attack him
Lol tussled is a good description for a playful fight between lovers
@@account_nameonline6420 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Exactly!
I fought a random guy (likely drunk) with my dad that randomly picked a fight with us and I would never call that a Tussle, it was a fight.
Tussle my hair, 😂😂
He treated that interview like it was his performance of a lifetime .. I forgot how absolutely insane this story was, another amazing video my friend thank you
Yeah, feels like acting with a bunch of corny one liners
My favorite part is the, "I come hard at 45." It is hilarious that he tries so hard to sound tough yet is the farthest thing from it. The false bravado should have been a sign to all of us. I didn't see the interview until well after he was proven a fraud but me and some friends were out one night and were discussing how did these 2 MAGA thugs know to attack him, know who he was, and why would they have a noose and bleach on them?
He reminds me of Amber Heard in interviews. They both think they are great actors. They are both the hero's in their stories, which only damages real survivors because they're both making it seem like "Hey! Look how easy it is to fight back! The rest of you people suck for not fighting back when you're assaulted!" They're both gross. Since when is it desirable to be victimized? People used to hide that kind of stuff, which I don't think is right either, but now they're lying that it happened when it didn't. So strange people WANT to be victims. It's actually pretty scary that people are aiming for victimhood.
Jussey is the poster child of the left. Fake victimhood, entitlement, and narcissism. Lie to get what you want, if you get caught in a lie, keep on lying.
@@izzeypally well we’ve incentivized victimhood status to such an extent that a guy who had it all was willing to give up ALL of it because he so desperately wanted to be come a victim of racism. It’s really not that surprising that someone would take the offer. People desperately want to be seen as a horrible victim and also simultaneously as an empowered survivor. The delusions of grandeur are real.
I think Dave Chappelle gave the best breakdown of this hoax... Especially when he comedically broke down how the responding officers and detectives would've reacted as they got the details from Juicey...
"You were going to Subway... Sandwiches?! it's 2AM 15 below and you just had to get sandwiches??? Ok... And some guys in Red MAGA hats just walked up to you... in Chicago... OK, just one second... *Turns to other officer* Find out where Kanye West was around 2AM..."
I was so happy that most black people not only immediately identified this guy as being totally full of shit, but for also not defending him anyway even after knowing he was lying; at first I thought they'd say it was a racist conspiracy but people had no problem throwing him under the bus for being a lying piece of shite.
The Obamas and the higher ups in Chicago and other rich black people and celebrities that chose to "stand by" him even after his story was proven false really embarrassed themselves. The woman in the Chicago justice system that tried to sweep the whole thing under the rug and throw out the case thought she would just get away with it like usually but this time there was so much media attention and people were so mad that it didn't work this time.
There are SO MANY hate crime hoaxes especially on college campuses and other place where the demand for racism is sky high but the supply of actual racism or racist incidents is dirt low. So many people train for years at their college to be a soldier in the war for social justice and then when they get into the real world they are disappointed that the country is full of normal people just quietly living their lives. They're disappointed that people of different races have a lot more in common with each other than not and that there's far less hatred they they were made to believe in the pressure cooker of their college courses.

Robin’s face the whole interview says a lot lmao. Every time the camera turns to her, there’s this look of “boy you know you’re lying, but we have to keep it professional” 😭
Smollett made it harder for people to report hate crimes and discrimination. They aren’t taken seriously because of deception like this. He is disgusting and foul. There was literally no reason for him do this. Ugh!
Agreed. His own selfishness and greed affected so many others living those situations for real. Not much different than the Amber Heard with abuse claims. Her and her lawyer stating the verdict "set back women who are abused" while completely ignoring her lies set back ALL DV allegations while also reducing men who are abused to a side note and not important.
What's worse is what you said: Literally no reason for him to do it. He had the world at his feet and has experienced 100 times the success of any person walking the earth. He could have been such a beacon and hope for so many different groups.
It's a sad world we live in some days. 😔
I don’t agree. He made it harder for himself but him being a jackass doesn’t apply to anyone else.
He and Heard have both reminded us that anyone can lie, regardless of what race, gender, creed, sexuality etc they are. Which is why the Anglosphere's justice systems had the principle of scepticism towards everyone- victim, defendant, witnesses, experts. There has been a lot of effort by activists for the past few decades to change this to a principle of "believe the victim" or "believe this person because of their colour, gender, etc" and this is a wake up call.
Jussie is a celeb. His lying and saying he was attacked doesn't make it harder for regular people to report them and be taken seriously. If anything, it makes it harder for other celebs to be believed.
@@DavidKen878 I wish so very much that you're right, but I and millions of others know better, the hard way.
”I will never be the man this did not happen to” 😂 now he will forever be that man…
Was such a silly statement. I will never be the man who didn’t post this comment.

I got punched by a guy once and it knocked me out. Ya for sure it's rare that I've seen a real fight where if you hit someone in the face they don't go down
The fact that he even knew what the stick-figure drawing in the “hate mail” he received was supposed to be proves that he drew it.
lol true. I couldn’t tell what it was until dreading pointed it out.
Never underestimate a narcissists self sabotage game. 😩
They let it all slip through their fingers; it is the nature of their affliction.
I remember immediately being suspicious of his story when he said his attackers shouted “This is MAGA country” at him. It’s Chicago. This city’s so Blue even the dead vote Democrat. Nobody from around here would wear a MAGA hat downtown unless they want to get hurt.
I looked it up out of curiosity and Clinton won 83% of the vote in 2016 in Chicago. You'd be hard pressed to find a place that's less "MAGA country" than Chicago. Like, *maybe* DC. Maybe.
Seems like the dead vote blue everywhere
This was my *first* thought.. I have been living here for almost 10 years and I haven't single a MAGA hat ONCE, much less dudes rocking them downtown. You'd get cussed, if not fully accosted, by one or more people I'd almost guarantee.
Right at 2am in winter
Like bruh none of that makes sense
@@AlexSerenylan I’ve lived here all my life. Dad got his car defaced for having a “W” decal on it shortly after Bush got elected. People here are decidedly NOT friendly to any Republican, let alone one wearing a MAGA hat. It seemed so fake at the time just on that one detail.
Chicago isn’t MAGA country. It’s machine politics country.
the fact frank was more shaken up because of the noose than THE PERSON WEARING THE NOOSE tells you everything lmfao
"I was talking to a friend, and I said I just want them to find them. And she said, 'Sweetie, THEY'RE NOT GONNA FIND THEM.'" With imaginary friends like that, who needs imaginary enemies??
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
People have to remember how America was in such a dangerous place politically when he did this, it was incredibly irresponsible and outright selfish. One can only imagine all of the criminal investigations that went ignored for days and days.
Yes! It really stoked the fire of division.
Yes! Thank you!
Yeah and cnn jumped on the story obviously the only good thing was that cnn was proven to put out stories before vetting them fully
Exactly, and then he has the nerve to try to come off as an activist for the disenfranchised, and ended up harming those groups instead, and all for his own selfish reasons…Such an A-Hole..!!
Right! It would be really awful if he had done all of this to genuinely advocate for black and lgbtq people, but the fact that he did this all so he could get paid a little more and get a little more screen time on a dying show is absolutely despicable and delusional.
He seemed the most outraged by the implication he’d take a date to Subway and use a (gasp!) dating app 🙄 cases like this make me so angry cause it hurts actual victims so much
It hurts the integrity of good liars also!
Subway has some Baaadd Juju
Or it also hurts Maga supporters who were painted as racist homophobes and searched for months. Any of them in chicago
How cringe is it when he puts on that silly voice and says "I can admit I was on that back in the day, I was single!"
I was suspicious from the start. As you mentioned, Chicago citizens were skeptical because of the weather. I live in Chicago and at that time, we were facing extremely cold temperatures. It was the coldest we've been since the 70s. Nobody wanted to go out of their homes unless they had to. That fact alone made me hesitant to believe him.
Not to mention, he apparently runs into two racists (who just happen to be out and about during a polar vortex) at 2AM who 1) know who he is (Empire not a real big hit with the MAGA crowd) 2) happen to be carrying bleach and a noose with them. I mean, come on.
Yeah, how about all this global "warming"?
And why tf is a rich celeb getting Subway?! Lol
And is subway even open when he said he went?
@@szechuan1871 That Subway is, but I'd be curious to hear whether any other customers showed up ON FOOT. That's Grubhub weather, not walking weather.

I couldn't stop myself from chuckling in disbelief throughout his entire interview. He truly is diabolical. Phrases like "they're trying to separate us" 💀 Isn't that what he did by making this mess up?
Also his demeanor was so arrogant and self-righteous. One would think that a victim of a hate crime would be incredibly shaken while relaying what occurred and not so focused on useless details like what his manager was doing in Australia or constantly focused on his 'pride' as a gay black man🙄
IM THE GAY TUPAC!
You nailed it!
He makes it so hard to feel bad for him the way he continues his shenanigans after all this time.
The video of him talking to the crowd at his concert is so cringe-worthy it deserves an award all on its own.
“I be the gay Tupac😤” lmfao
Everyone was so hyped … and then after each of the first three points they were like “🤨 … Okay! Sure!”
I still cringe when I hear , “ I am the gay Tupac “ and seeing how this all ended makes me cringe even harder.
its like zoolander comedy

"These fear-mongrels, these people that are trying to separate us... it's not okay." Truer words were never spoken, sir

Who goes to subway, in freezing weather, at 2am, *FOR A SALAD?!?!?* How's anyone gonna believe that 🙄🤦🏾♀️ He's just an embrassment, man
It actually makes sense if you take his homosexuality into account. Gay dudes love having salads at odd hours
In Chicago... you don't go out late like that unless you are SEARCHING for damn trouble
I know a lot of people who believer him. We live in a world where questioning or doubting someone's claim of being attacked or abused is considered victim blaming. People have this absurd mentality of rather being lied to than "calling someone a liar."
I mean I go to subway for salads a lot...but not at 2am is subway even open then?
Perfect poster boy for Liberals.
In the concert he also says he didn't go to a hospital, and in the interview he says he did. There is a saying where I come from "If you wanna catch a liar ask him twice" Liars have a tendency to always change small details in their stories without realizing it
They also lie out of habit, when telling the truth would be better for their alleged objectives.
I thought he said he went to the doctor but he wasn't hospitalized. Which would make both statements technically true but sketchy.
Going to a doctor or going *to* a hospital isn't necessarily the same as hospitalization, but his entire story is sewn together with toothpicks so any detail he tries to put in therr is just as useless in getting anyone to trust his story. Dude is delusional.
Hannibal lecter in Silence': "The over embellishment of a poor liar"

This is the first time I've ever seen the body cam footage of the cops discovering Jussie. Dude, that noose around his neck looks straight RIDICULOUS. Like it legitimately looks comical. Why would he ever think that was a good idea? Oh my god.
Low Intelligence
And it looks very brand new. 🤣
I wonder if the cops checked his internet search history to discover interesting search parameters such as "how to tie a noose?"
"Abe, don't hit my face, or too hard anywhere, we just have to make it 'look' like I was attacked" - Jussie fighting back.
I literally had no idea who he was until the incident. It’s amazing how cocky you can be for like a C list celeb
😂
I guess we know why he did the attack. He was trying to cross over. He should have just been grateful for the black communities support.
@@lisah3460 that’s what’s so insane too about the MAGA angle. White people let alone MAGA people barely know about power.
He should have just stuck with the homophobia angle if he was going to lie.
He was B- list as he was breaking out in Empire. His family has been acting in Hollywood for 30yrs since they were kids, as seen in the beginning, but it was his younger sister Jurnee that made it big. Him getting Empire had something to do with having HER last name.
Not only was it winter, he did this on the night of the polar vortex. It was beyond freezing. It was so cold that there were warnings to stay inside and places were closing. Which is extremely rare in the northern state that are used to cold weather and snow. I was in college at the time and while classes were cancelled, the cafeteria was open. The night after he made this claim I remember heading to the cafeteria, sitting on the sidewalks, and sliding on them because they were literally ice the next morning. He chose an absolutely horrible time to do this but he knew that no-one would be outside because of the negative degree weather.
Yeah it was - 20F outside that night. Like, that is death weather. To help put it in perspective for people, I tell them to imagine how cold 30F is. Now, subtract 50 degrees from that and you start to understand the intensity of the cold the night of the supposed hate crime.
Soft little American. In Siberia -30c is of going camp weather. For country of being so fat, America is so of being cold people.
@@kindasorta123 The temperature was -20F but due to the wind it felt close to -50F, cold enough to give frostbite to any exposed skin in under 5 minutes
Not to mention he claimed to be on the way to Subway to get a SALAD. Who the hell gets a salad at subway, what kind of rich celebrity doesn't have some food in his fridge, and who the hell wants a salad especially a crappy fast food salad when it is 20 degrees below zero. What an asshole
No one outside not even real criminals. Ha
Honestly when people say 'why would I lie? it hurts my community' I side eye because immediately positioning yourself as a spokesperson for a mass group of people just seems very grandiose to me. I've been a victim and dealt with shitty police but not once did I position myself as an example for people within my community. I represented myself.
Am I the only one who's really annoyed about TMZ claiming the body cam footage? It's not even their footage for fucks sake, yet it's theirs somehow? Give me a break.

This is just so mind blowing to me. He was on a hit tv show. There was a million other ways he could have drawn attention to himself if that’s what he wanted. He could have used the BLM movement to his advantage by actually supporting the cause and going on shows, podcasts, his own social media to share REAL stories from other people, and just generally speak of his own experiences (HELL even if they were made up!!) why the hell go to these extremes?! He could have also actually went out for other roles, I’m SURE he was getting offers. With a giant following a mega hit tv show gets he could have found the attention he needed just by being active on social media, starting a damn podcast a freakin tiktok!!? He’s musically inclined they love that sh*t over there! Such a shame this is the road he went down! And just baffling given all the opportunity he had
It sucks to admit but I'm pretty sure "helping the cause" didn't even enter his mind, at least not with any honesty. He probably TOLD himself he was helping the movement, but anyone with even an ounce of self awareness (and/or far less narcissism) would've been able to predict the damage this would do to actual victims of hate crimes. Like I'm surprised to see the comments here are relatively tame, tho I've seen some pretty questionable ones, including a rather uncomfortable placement of the phrase "a certain demographic"
BLM is a race baiting scam to get white guilt money.
He could’ve dropped so nudes like everyone else

This "incident" happened on my birthday , so when i was getting calls, i thought it was "happy birthday" calls ...... it was "DID YOU SEE JAMAL GOT JUMPED?!" calls!
*_THANKS A LOT, JUSSIE!_* 🖕🏽
Jussie makes a whole lotta "are i just loveable" jokes during such a serious interview. And what really gets me with that is he goes from jovial to venhement in a snap.
Exactly, like there was no reason for him to casually mention he was on grinder "back in the day when he was single" while making a coy face. It's like he thinks the ppl watching him are swooning over his every word when we're really just laughing at him.
I literally said "wow!" out loud when I saw his apartment building... What else would you want at that point? Greed is a hell of a drug, huh?
Don't forget vanity, pride, envy, overconfidence, compulsive lying, delusions of grandeur, inability to handle being criticized, etc.
i could be wrong but i bet that is one of his apts, that he has when he needs to work in that area. these people usually have several residences
Having money is strange, my friend has it all from where I'm standing.. Amazing home, hot wife, nice vacations his own successful business yet he's envious of people who have more than he does... He's constantly complaining about if only he did this or that he'd be driving that Ferrari I'm like dude your grass is pretty green enjoy it you've made it in life...
Yes, the lobby itself.....
@@dannicatzer305 its sad how ppl think the goal in life is to have the ferrari, and the 3 car garage, even if it means working a high stress job 12 hours a day. then they die early of some stress induced illness.
i'm poor by choice and i love it. i work part time when i need to. i dont even have a car or a credit card. the more you have the more you have to worry about
He really took “ Take the fall, Act hurt, get indignant” to the next level didnt he?

Thank you for the Mighty Ducks reference. I was hoping someone would make it!

*you are correct Jussie, it's NOT ok*
Actually, he said "fear mongrels."😂
@@detectivefiction3701 yeah I caught that too. He’s a moron. 😂😂
