His touring career has also been modest, certainly a byproduct of the rigors of starring in a network drama. Smollett has fewer than 40 performances on his listed tour history since Empire came on the air — the latest, the only to happen after the Chicago incident, was a $20-a-head concert at...

'Empire' Team Debates Bringing Jussie Smollett Back as Others Question Salary Motive Complicating Smollett's financials, however, is that his original Fox contract was a "360 deal.” That means it includes music elements similar to pacts for the stars of series like Glee. Under the deal, the...

What Is Jussie Smollett’s Salary? ‘Empire’ Actor Apologizes To Cast, Crew According to the Hollywood Reporter, which also spoke to other sources close to the matter, Smollett started out with a base salary of $40,000-$50,000 per-episode range when he originally joined the show in 2015, when he...

When I'm being played for a joke, I cannot sit and listen or watch the whole joke. I just can't do it. But I do however wait until the joke is over, so I can laugh along...then have the last laugh. My Mother taught me that! JM and My Mother's O

There is this thing now called the "Cloud" (I don't know where it is!) where our saved information goes, from our phones and Computers. When LE asks for our phone nicely, and it's given to them it avoids a search warrant. BUT if not, here comes the search warrant go to the phone company and the...

Also when you get the Sympathy from the President publicly, then it turns out that person abused not only him but the FBI and the City of Chicago there is that pressure to right the wrong. At least as best as possible. I will be VERY surprised if the feds do not throw the proverbial book at...

At this point I don't think it matters (especially to him) what a Court of Law finds. What is going to matter more to both him and his now finished career is the Court of Public opinion and Perception. JMO

Judges have had their fill of actors trying to justify their actions. The more they try to explain the more it insults the Judge and Jury intelligence. They may even be a good actor, but not smart enough to know when their goose is cooked. JMO

More obvious is the mistake that he thought he and his cast was playing to the camera. That LE would look at the footage from THAT camera and accept it for what he said. The problem unbeknown to him was THAT camera was not focused in the direction he planned. Instead the City of Chicago has and...

It was reported earlier that they were "shooting" today and that he was actually late for his "call" time. That they had delayed shooting that he was part of. It could be they want all the shoots and scenes he is already spoken for to be done so that THEY can be done. They are in the middle of...

This was from Fox, the Network for the show. But in looking it was from 2016. Since that time the ratings from the show are considerably less. I suppose the fact remains that compared to the other "stars" he was paid considerably less as well. All in all I'm sure you are right about the $65K...

It was reported earlier along with salaries of the rest of the cast that he is / was paid $20,000 per episode. Depending on other contractual payments, that's not very much. Living the lifestyle of being a "celebrity" is not cheap. He can't show up at a season "premiere" in an UBER. It's just...

I saw a you tube earlier this AM. Somebody had gotten footage of Jussie standing there doing his red carpet pose, and all the camera flashes going continuously. But in the background sound it was a crowd instead of screaming his name, they were chanting in unison DUMBASS, DUMBASS, DUMBASS. Not...

I agree with Wise, from above's comment also. THAT is exactly what he was / is unhappy with. The very fact that he is / was NOT an icon. He thought by doing all this it would put him on that trajectory. His position is / was that seriously unless someone googled his name they would NOT KNOW who...

After he makes bail I believe Fox should tell him to come to the "Office" for a meeting. Let the media know where and when the meeting is, along with the time and which door he has to go through to get in. Put out a "Red Carpet" so he can do his Celebrity Walk one last time. Then FIRE his butt...

They have already filmed the lead character in a prison storyline. What's another one. I wouldn't put it past them. Nothing surprises me anymore. JMO

I agree 100%. I believe as self centered as he seems to be, he may have convinced himself that by his actions he would not only "save the show" but also get "star" pay at the same time. Anderson Cooper touched on it the other night. In paraphrasing, he pretty much said that as an actor he's...

That was probably one of the best LEO Press Conference I've seen. That Superintendent put it ALL out there. I don't recall a LEO just come out and say that when a Defendant did a certain thing that it "pissed us off". Most people don't stop and think that during some of these "investigations"...

The FBI is the agency that has the letter. I am told the Feds allow the City and State do their thing, then they pile on any Federal charges. They said also the State can play "Let's Make A Deal" to get as much admission of guilt as possible without showing any of the FBI cards (evidence). They...

I wonder if he stopped by Subway for one of their new breakfast subs on his way to the station to be booked. I'm sure he had his bond money check in his pocket before going though. And an Uber on the wait at the back door of the County Sheriff's Office. JMO
