Yesterday, special prosecutor Dan Webb issued a statement announcing the indictment against former “Empire” star Jussie Smollett. And today on Wendy Williams’ “Hot Topics” segment, the talk show host shares her opinion on the fate of Jussie’s career in Hollywood and how the city of Chicago should give up on the whole case.
“His prison life has already started. He’ll never work again. Nobody cares about him,” Wendy said. “If I saw him walking down the street I’d cross to the other side.” She later added, “I mean, the man will never work again. Whoever hires him is going to be protested with the pickets outside. Just leave it alone, he’s done.”
Wendy also chastised the city of Chicago and the special prosecutor for continuing to pursue the incredibly drawn-out case, noting that it’s a waste of the city’s time and resources.
“Chicago should just let this go. Let it go, man. You’re wasting time with the court system.” She continued, “Jussie Smollett is alleged to have done a horrible thing, but with the gang violence and the bad school system in Chicago — you guys have bigger fish to fry.”
