The Authorities’ Take On This…
The mayor of Chicago, the Chicago police superintendent -and even the State’s Attorney’s office that allowed Smollett to walk without so much as even a public confession- have all either stated, or suggested that Jussie did staged his homophobic/racist attack.
How Can Jussie Regain Public’s Trust & Forgiveness?
Jussie Smollett is continuing to claim his innocence, which may make it more difficult for him to scrape the dirt off his tainted image. Why? Because if he did stage the attack, he would probably be able to gain forgiveness from the public IF he were to go on a media blitz, confessing to the crime and showing genuine remorse for lying.
People can sometimes empathize with someone who owns up to their mistakes, but not many like to be repeatedly taken for a fool. So IF Jussie actually committed the crime, the millions of supporters who rallied behind him in the beginning, will be the same ones who can possibly forgive him if he comes clean, instead of urging his team to create a ‘spin’ on a false narrative.
In my opinion, that ‘fake news’ nonsense needs to be left to some of these unethical politicians out here who have already tarnished their rep’ beyond repair all on their own (hint, hint: the POTUS).
