That courtroom outburst has me thinking about this. Do you all think Jussie has one of the Cluster B personality disorders?
Of course he is in a mental health unit. He made that happen himself by his mental antics when he was being sentenced. Histrionics and dramatic shenanigans, combine to get one a ticket to the Psych Ward.

I hope his family members/ enablers don’t go on every talk show they can think of to spout off about this so called ‘injustice’. And shame on any talk show that gives them airtime. JMO
They’re all going to get a book deal and make a fortune assuming anyone buys their lies. Outrageous!<modsnip>

I'm wondering why these shenanigans did not earn him additional time for direct contempt of court. Maybe because the sentence was already pronounced? Maybe because he craftily inserted a couple of "I respect you, judge" statements in between bellowing that he's innocent and not suicidal and giving the black power fist?
I thought those kind of actions in the presence of the presiding judge was contempt, but IANAL, so I ask @Kristin Esq. to inform me when she has time.
That's completely up to the discretion of the judge. He may have just wanted to get it over with, and not engage with Jussie anymore. We may never know what he was thinking.
Exactly! Anyone who stated in open court an outburst like JS, "I AM NOT SUICIDAL.". Is getting a one way ticket to the Psych Ward for medication evaluation, and assessment.
Yelling "I am NOT suicidal!" In open court is NOT normal. I am not sure what sort of game JS is playing, but it definitely didn't benefit him. Of course, he is all about drama, denial. He needs mental health more than anyone, to determine why he screwed up his own life so royally.
Jussie Smollett put in psych ward after being deemed a self-harm risk, his brother says
Jail officials moved former “Empire” star Jussie Smollett to a psychiatric ward after deeming him a risk of self-harm, according to an outraged brother of the actor.
Two days after Jussie was sentenced to five months at Cook County Jail in Chicago for lying to police about a made-up homophobic and racist attack, the actor’s sibling Jocqui Smollett slammed his placement in a psych ward as “a complete lack of justice.”
“What’s very concerning is that there was a note attached to his paperwork today and clipped on the front of his jail cell saying that he’s at risk of self-harm,” Jocqui said Saturday in an Instagram video.
“I want to just make it clear to folks that he is in no way, shape or form at risk of self-harm,” he continued. “He wants to let folks know ... that he is very stable, he is very strong, he is very healthy and ready to take on the challenge that ultimately has been put up against him.”
