Ever since Empire star, Jussie Smollett, stirred up the internet with his claims of being brutally beaten in a racial/homophobic attack by two White dudes who turned out to be two Nigerian brothas, his co-star, Bryshere Gray a.k.a. “Hakeem Lyon,” has remained radio silent on the topic. Bryshere’s moms, Andria Mayberry, on the other hand, decided to share her opinion of Jussie, shortly after speculations that he was lying about the attack surfaced.
How Bryshere Gray’s Mom Felt About Jussie Then…
When Jussie first told the world he was ‘attacked’ on January 29th, many people -including Bryshere’s moms- supported him. In fact, Andria Mayberry showed her support of Jussie in early February, when Jussie had his first concert days after the attack, and cried in front of the audience, referring to himself as “the gay Tupac.”
At that time, Andria re-shared Jussie’s performance video online in early February and captioned it with a supportive message:
“THE END! thank you Lord! Swipe left to see his statement! Please excuse the cursing.”

Once Jussie was accused of staging the attack and ultimately indicted, by a grand jury, for filing a false police report and staging a hate crime, Andria mostly went radio silent…until later…
