It has been reported that one of the stars of FOX hit show Empire was assaulted while walking to a subway in Chicago. The Chicago Police Department has already confirmed that it is investigating the matter and now the FBI has announced that it will join in. ABC reported that the CPD has been included in the investigation. The 36 year-old actor was approached by men wearing Make America Great Again hats who called him a faggot. They then punch Smollett, poured bleach on him and put a rope around his neck. Jussie told the police that yelled that this is “MAGA country” as they fled the scene.
