Then Came The Alleged Altercation
Things apparently went from 0 to 60 for T. Howard after the former suspects, Nigerian brothers Abel and Ola, were taken into police custody and the details of their side of the story were revealed:
Tensions between Terrence and Jussie boiled over after the 2 Nigerian-American brothers who allegedly helped Jussie stage the attack, Abel and Ola Osundario, were detained by police … we’re told Terrence confronted Jussie once again, screaming at him to come clean. … Further illustrating his disdain for Jussie … we’re told Terrence was nowhere to be found Thursday night when Jussie addressed the cast and crew. -via TMZ
Other Cast Members Did Not Believe Jussie Either & ‘Wanted Him Gone’
It is also being reported that several other Empire cast members did not and/or still do not believe Jussie Smollett’s story, that he was attacked by two racist White men on January 22, 2019, and reportedly found it difficult to continue filming this season with him.
TMZ: …We’re told many others on the cast and crew felt Jussie was lying and ultimately that’s why producers decided to remove Jussie from the set for the final 2 episodes … it was just too disruptive.
