Jussie Smollett wraps day of testimony claiming attack was 'no hoax'
Fox News
The former “Empire” actor took the stand on Monday where he immediately fielded questions about his career and how he met brothers Abimbola and Olabingo Osundairo, who allege he paid them to carry out a fake hate crime attack against him.
Smollett, meanwhile, began his time on the stand by countermanding some of what Bola Osundairo previously testified, explaining that the first night they met they did drugs together and then Bola took him to a gay bath house where they "made out." This runs contrary to what Bola previously testified, which was that he is not gay and their relationship was not sexual in nature.
Smollett admitted to doing drugs with the brothers, nothing that he frequently had weed on him but would often pay Bola around $200 for cocaine. Bola previously stated that he did not sell drugs to Smollett but merely acquired them for him.
