The State’s Attorney Kim Foxx called Jussie Smollett a “washed up celeb” just 2 weeks before dismissing all charges against him for allegedly triggering a massive police investigation based on a big, fat lie.
Foxx sent text messages to certain coworkers according to CBS2 in Chicago. The attorney claims the Grand Jury grossly overcharged the “Empire” actor, especially relative to another celebrity defendant — R. Kelly.
Foxx wrote … “Pedophile with 4 victims 10 counts. Washed up celeb who lied to cops, 16.” As we reported, Kelly was charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse.
Kim Foxx has responded to the release of her messages, stating, “After the indictment became public, I reached out to Joe to discuss reviewing office policies to assure consistencies in our charging and our use of appropriate charging authority.”
She continues, “I was elected to bring criminal justice reform and that includes intentionality, consistency, and discretion. I will continue to uphold these guiding principals.”
