[@jwelch5742]

In July 2019, Wise purchased a condominium overlooking Central Park. He is the only one of the five who chose to continue to reside in New York City after his release. During the covid-19 pandemic, Wise helped provide sustenance to senior residents in Harlem.

Korey Wise looking up at Jharrel Jerome like a proud papa bear, it’s such a beautiful thing. ❤️ This series overall was so enlightening to the tragedy of what happened to the Exonerated 5 as children, but Jerome’s performance in particular absolutely broke me.

[@tejaswinirkonnur6210]

He absolutely deserved that!!!! I was so surprised to know he played both the roles- of a 16y/o and 30+. Very very well done man. And yeah he brought the justice to those roles.

[@geegeeguillory7119]

[@aaliyahlafleur1070]

This had me tearing up frfr

[@shawty.6166]

Jharrell Jerome acted so good that I even think of him as Korey Wise! Not trying to be rude but he knew that Korey Wise had like learning difficulties and stuff and he acted the exact way.❤️ I’ve watched When They See Us I was legit crying especially in Korey wise’s part, it was so heartbreaking💔. sometimes wish i can just go to the past even if they already suffered and changed this mess!💔💔💔😔 It really hurt more as a black person as well.

[@MrMarmaduke09]

I was so happy he won. He played the hell out of that role ! And that limited series was hard to watch. I never knew anything about that case until it was on Netflix and it made me angry. Took me three days to get through those episodes. Shout out to the Exonerated 5.

the crowd reaction to his win says EVERYTHING. angela basset was so happy for him, all the black actors in the crowd was so proud. this man need to be in movies directed by acclaimed people like nolan, tarantino, greta gerwig, so he can won an oscar too.

[@ikexbankai]

He was in Oscar winning Best Picture movie “Moonlight.” That’s when I took notice of him. He was my favorite part of the movie and I knew he would go on to do grate things. He can also rap his ass off.

[@kj1227icecap]

He is Dominican, so he's also making Latinos proud. 👏👏👏

[@bpeterson1559]

I think it's kinda hilarious how this comment pivots from celebrating the support of black representation, to how he needs to be directed by three white people to gain acclaim.

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

I don't why people were so surprised in hindsight. He was FANTASTIC in his limited role in Moonlight, which is one of the 3-4 best movies of this entire decade. His range is off the charts. It's not about ability, but opportunity. Well earned, well deserved, well done.

[@MrSkillz91]

Exactly. He was so good in moonlight

[@Thrintus]

He was amazing in Moonlight, and it's a pretty good film, too, but a top 4 of the decade film? I'm REALLY not sure about that.

[@katc6128]

I just finished it, 4 years late. Holy HELL was the series some of the most intensely emotional tv I've ever watched, but it is such an important watch. Everyone should know these mens' stories. The injustice is simply stunning in the worst way possible, and yet these 5 souls rose above everything when they could have EASILY held so much anger and bitterness against the world but instead became incredibly honourable people. I'm honestly blown away by all of the performances in this series from all actors, but Jharrel Jerome certainly was the stand out. I'm still speechless from the last episode... Bravo Jharrel 👏 Extremely well deserved and earned. I'm definitely going to watch Moonlight this week as I've heard really good things about that as well. Can't wait to see what else lies ahead for this young man!!

[@omosomiomomia6661]

Well done Jharrel Jerome! Wish him more successes in his career...

I'm late to Netflix and this deeply emotional mini series! His acceptance speech resonates deeper now that I've seen the episodes. 1-2 had me angry and perplexed, 3 had me crying and 4 broke me down. Jharrel so earned this award. Episode 4 makes me cry at the loneliness, violence and trials Korey went through and this version I'm sure is the clean version. 😭

[@Fierclyfabulous]

I agree. All were very very painful and hard to watch but Korey in trial and in prison I was in tears. It was so sad and devastating
