“This story has been weird for me, Trevor. As a gay person, I’m used to speaking on gay issues. As a black person, I’m used to speaking on black issues. But I’m not used to them intercepting.
And I’m also part of a third community that’s been devastated by this: the actor community. Because of Jussie, everyone will think actors are liars now, because that’s our job, which is true.
If he wanted to raise awareness for LGBTQ rights, he should have just donated money. If he wanted attention, he should have just leaked his nudes. And if he wanted to hang out with two guys at 2 a.m., Grindr is right there.”Jaboukie Young-White speaking to Trevor Noah about the whole Jussie Smollett mess

It’s beyond understanding why he would fake this.
He’s a celebrity. He’s a talented, working actor. He’s been a role model for a lot of young queers, especially, young gay black men. And for no real reason, he hires two black men to pretend to be white supremacists who then fake-beat, humiliate, and pseudo lynch him for what?
Some free pity press? I can’t. Please tell me this is not true!

I don’t think it had anything to do with publicity for himself. I think it was all about trying to make Trump supporters look violent, racist and homophobic. It’s Trump derangement syndrome.
I just hope people realize that he was actively trying to keep racism alive and well and drive a wedge between people. He was trying to make things in this country worse.
QueerTruth
Brian,
That seems to terribly convenient and selfless of him… If he faked this then I don’t believe this has anything to do with anyone than Jussie himselfish
Brian
So why would he throw in the Trump angle? If he had left out that part and didn’t say they were white guys his story would have been a heck of a lot more believable, even after they caught the Nigerian brothers.

He’s clearly a sociopath.
OzJosh
When someone can’t get by on an estimated annual income above $1million, and they then stage a lame-brained scam that almost immediately falls apart, the first thought is NOT “sociopath”, but drugs. A sociopath would have done a much better job and been way more convincing. I’ll bet anything that Smollett has a very expensive habit.
MISTERJETT
Brian, you’ve described exactly what dumb donny does.
queerty02
oh hunny, leak his nudes? on the streets they call him Jussie Small-ett
@DmitriyR
Leak nudes – one of the way to get attention. But i am not sure that it is the best one.
OzJosh
There are naked pix of him on OMG and he could justifiably be called HUGE.
dean089
OK, so now we have a positive outcome for this tale: bringing more attention to Jaboukie Young-White.

A selfish act of stupidity at the expense of the LBGTQ community.
WayDifferent
Nevermind what my straight black friends in $hotcago have to say about him now…..
WayDifferent
Nobody wants to see that ashy, purple limp junk. We have to endure that on Grindr without our consent or mutual interest.
thomes
fun fact. his nudes have already leaked. like, 3 or 4 years ago
Bob LaBlah
Yes, and I thought he was rather flat back there with nothing to write home about in the front either.

LOVE Jaboukie!!!
Smart, sharp, clever, completely comfortable being out young comedian!!
Giuseppe
I hate to be the grammar police, but…two ideas don’t “intercept”, this isn’t a football game. Two different ideas may “INTERSECT”. Am I the only one that thought that comment made no sense??
MuslimSlutBox
I heard it the minute Jaboukie said it. But, I was saving my comment for something more salacious like requesting dik pics. That didn’t happen either.
stanhope
The nitwit who called him jussie small-ette clearly didn’t see the pics…while he is a power bottom, he was not shorted at all up front even if it is only used as a handle when riding dat a z z
WindsorOntario
A bottom with a huge dick is as useless as a lesbian with no gag reflex.
greybat
But it’s such a cute bottom!
piriblue
He is out of jail now. I’m glad I found out. i was going to get myself arrested. i want a piece of that.
I am glad that I found out in time. I don’t want to run into Bubba. Me no like.
MISTERJETT
what a stupid thing to say
TimothyBeauchamp
I was legitimately gay bashed in the 90’s. Having to type “legitimately” to describe my gay bashing makes me effing furious! I also became a target of a right wing Neo-Nazi group in Oklahoma because I dared to organize a “United Methodist for Gay Concerns” Thanksgiving celebration. So, yea, I’d like to PERSONALLY RIP UP, Jussie Smollet’s LGBTQ card! He needs to be EXILED!
MISTERJETT
we’ve already seen his nudes.
MuslimSlutBox
Okay people, where’s the link to the frontals? I wanna judge for myself. I already scoped-out the bulge but really, you can never tell for sure with clothes on. Somebody hook me up, please.
o.codone
Okay, I got the pics. I like what I see. He’d make more than a mil/year if he charged the going rate on Rent Men. Let’s see, $300 times 40 hours times 50 weeks, yeah. His dick looks long and sweet. To heck with Empire.
