His court performance is what gaslighting looks like. He's lying so hard it starts to seem believable

[@RealEyes.Realize.RealLies]

It doesn't seem believable to me. If anything it makes him look extra crazy to me.

[@JFoster310]

He came off as deranged.

[@BradsTrashIsTyronesTreasure91]

That's because he is.

[@audreyfreeman7961]

For the best performance in a courtroom "The Oscar goes to Jussie Smollet."

[@Meds1000MD]

Nope the police officer acting like Jussie was a threat

[@TA-fm1nq]

It really could have started a riot had it not been for the Winter. He messed up #1 Chicago is a democrat town no body would and didn’t wear a MAGA cap. Trump was not allowed to hold a rally in town. Jussie should have done his homework. Not a good Actor. I feel sorry for him, the young man got in his own way. SMH 🤦🏽‍♀️ ✌🏽✌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@salmaal-shaoily5809]

I'm sorry but that lil dissertation he did in the courtroom felt like a scene straight out of Empire ngl. He intends to run this lie into the ground. The commitment to the lie is impeccable he really believes what he is saying.

[@starlightzebra1997]

I'm actually starting to think Jussie is experiencing a mental health crisis. He's completely dissociated from reality and can't Identify the difference between real life and a film set. Jussie even looks over and past the cameras as you would on set. He's speech was scripted from start to finish and hes proud of his writing so much so as he's preparing to begin the monologue he struggles to hide his smirk. Just as you think the circus is over he introduces a new plot line "I'm not suicidal". It's not over he's memorising his lines for the next episode.

[@LarryBanks85]

He is delusional and a narcissistic and he needs therapy and Jesus.

[@wraithx7]

Exactly. He was obviously putting on an over dramatic performance. It wouldn't surprise me that when he gets out of jail that he will make a movie about the whole situation and star in it as himself.

[@jenisejackson5408]

Jussie definitely needs therapy. Is it true that outburst of him saying he is not suicidal came from a scene in Empire?

[@RoeLuv1]

I mean doesn’t he know the video of the two African brothers buying the supplies at the hardware store was the “smoking gun”.

[@dinathadiva7981]

But did y’all see the look on his lawyer’s face? Even she was over him.

[@s.aliciaphipps4240]

Girl yes!! She was definitely telling him to shut up (look at her lips she was straight over it!) 😂🤣

[@smoothie3376]

I mean really!!! That stunt literally killed his already dead career a 2nd time!!!! Brat!!!! 🙄😒

[@kingblake2490]

Exactly what I was looking at. She was like "MF shut up and let it go". 😠😂

[@Imissingu2001]

Yes!!! I was hollering! She was like "let me get my ass out of here and let this fool go on to jail!" LMAO🤣🤣🤣🤣

Watching that court scene looked like something out of Empire. 🤦🏾🙊😂 And scene 💃🏾🎬😂😂😂

[@wikipedia0]

Lol right 😂😂

[@SNOW.STORM30]

He’s guilty as sin! The evidence proves it but Jussie and his family cannot accept that this is what he did and he’s been exposed so they’ve doubled down in denial and claimed he’s innocent. The outburst at the end gives a clear picture of Jussie, theatrical and narcissistic, he could have stood up and said everything in an calm and passionate way but he lives off the drama and now the victim mentality.

[@xavierdh2000]

True

[@-C.S.R]

With all the horrible crimes going on in Chicago he took real police officers off of real investigations for a goose chase! *Juicy* deserves everything he gets and anyone that sticks up for him should be absolutely ashamed of themselves!

Bullshit, crime continues in Chicago....without Jussie Smollet.

Where he tells exactly how he did it, but says "allegedly I", or "I guess I would have", or "its possible I would have". It was funny until I remembered- he actually killed 2 people. But his recount of what happened between him and Ron Goldman. When he said Ron hopped into a martial arts kind of stance and he said " Oh, so you gon' kick my ass?" Then countered Ron's kick with a stab in the leg... coincides with the pathology report of Ron having a stab in the leg.

[@BradsTrashIsTyronesTreasure91]

Jussie gonna take that lie with him to the grave. 🤦🏿‍♀️

[@HelloHaven]

As a Chicagoan, the only word for it is exactly what Funky said -- DISGUSTING! There is something seriously wrong with Jussie to stick to this lie despite all the actual PROOF, including video that we saw with our own eyes. There is something wrong with him beyond narcissism.

[@marilynn7799]

I've been saying the same thing funky said. Don't do the crime if you don't want to do the time. When you actually do something you're not supposed to, it doesn't matter if a white person did it too. Just like when your parents will say if your friends jumped off of bridge would you do it too?.. Especially when you know they are not about to let your black ass get away with it!!!
