The Jussie Smollett saga continues. After the initial hate crime hoax, States Attorney Kim Foxx egregiously dropped all charges.
Since then, Jussie Smollett has been relatively quiet. However, his attorneys, while on their victory tour, may have made comments that they will soon regret.
Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo have filed a lawsuit against the defendants Mark Garagos, Tina Glandian, and Garagos & Garagos Law Firm for defamation.
Ms. Glandian’s statements that Plaintiffs committed a hate crime against Mr. Smollett and donned whiteface were published to third parties everywhere as they were broadcast by ABC and NBC, and were republished in numerous newspapers, blogs, and periodicals.
Ms. Glandian’s statements explicitly identify Plaintiffs as the subject of her accusations, as she was responding directly to questions about the Osundairo brothers.

Excerpt from Osundairo Lawsuit
Ms. Glandian inferred that Bola Osundairo and Mr. Smollett engaged, at least briefly, in homosexual acts together. These statements were made to the third-party press and public.
Mr. Geragos repeatedly indicated that Plaintiffs conspired to criminally attack Mr. Smollett, and by doing so, implied Plaintiffs committed perjury before the February 20, 2019 grand jury and conspired to make false statements to Chicago Police.
