So let me get this straight….
Jussie Smollett is in court for allegedly faking hate crimes against himself, but now he is angry at the prosecution for having to repeatedly use the n-word while reading his own text messages to the court?
I am at a loss for words at the irony right now…
Sources claim that after Smollett asked the state’s attorney to stop saying the word, the prosecution then forced Smollett to read his own text messages aloud for the court.
We will keep everyone posted on the verdict, but for now here are some recent developments in the Smollett trial:
Smollett interrupts special prosecutor Dan Webb as Webb was reading aloud one of Smollett's messages that had N word in it.
Smollett: can you spell or say the N word out of respect for every African American in this room? you've been saying that word a lot.— Matt Finn (@MattFinnFNC) December 7, 2021

According to Fox News:
The duo had a contentious moment when Webb began reading the messages out loud. Some of the messages included the use of the N-word, prompting Smollett to interrupt the prosecutor to ask him to spell or abbreviate the word so as not to offend “every African American in this room.”
Webb said that Smollett was welcome to read his own messages to the court but that he would not censor the quotations of the actor’s messages. Smollett complied and the two moved on.
Jussie Smollett said the prosecutor using the n word was disrespectful to black people. The problem is that it was Jussie who used it in a text message that the prosecutor was trying to read aloud.
This is a bigger clown show than Alec Baldwin.— Rising serpent 🇺🇸 (@rising_serpent) December 8, 2021
Jussie Smollett uses the N word in texts and then gets angry at Prosecutor Webb for reading that word, so Webb makes Smollett read them out himself! Get wrecked Smollett – you used the word and then complained about it being used- that's rank hypocrisy!

The Daily Wire gave us a glimpse into the court room proceedings:
According to Smollett’s testimony, he was training with Bola Osundairo primarily because “Empire” creator Lee Daniels had told him that he was fat and because he wanted to lose weight for a music video.
He also claimed that he and Bola had a more personal relationship, saying that the first night they met they had done weed and cocaine together and gone to a private room in a bathhouse.
