It was revealed yesterday (December 7th) that Jussie Smollett kept in contact with Abimbola Osundairo — one of the brothers who allegedly helped him stage a fake assault, in the hours leading up to the attack.
According to The New York Post, prosecutors have suggested that the actor sent Osundairo text messages to coordinate the upcoming fake attack. Smollett testified that he was only keeping Osundairo up to date on his flight because they planned to work out together that night.
Smollett testified that he also shared information about his flight with public Instagram stories to all of his followers. He said,”There was no fake attack. … There was an update to my over 5 million followers.”
