Jussie Smollett

The ‘Empire’ star had been arrested for making false police reports, but now the Cook County State Attorney’s Office has decided to drop the case.

The ‘Empire’ star had previously claimed he had been attacked. Police now consider him a suspect.

Police are investigating the incident as a possible hate crime.

The cast of Ridley Scott’s new Alien prequel just keeps growing — and getting more interesting, but for as much as we like the actors signing on for Alien: Covenant, it’s going to be kind of a bummer watching them get slaughtered by Xenomorphs and also, presumably, Michael Fassbender. The latest batch of actors to join the cast of Scott’s prequel includes Spotlight’s Billy Crudup, Empire’s Jussie Smollett, indie favorite Amy Seimetz and more.
