Convicted hate crime hoaxer Jussie Smollett lashed out in court on Thursday after he was sentenced to 150 days in jail, 30 months on probation, and ordered to pay well over $100,000 in fines and restitution, declaring that he was innocent and that he was not suicidal.
“I am not suicidal,” Smollett claimed, later falsely adding, “I am innocent.”
“If I did this, then it means that I stuck my fist in the fears of black Americans in this country for over 400 years and the fears of the LGBTQ community,” Smollett continued. “Your Honor, I respect you and I respect the jury, but I did not do this and I am not suicidal. If anything happens to me when I go in there, I did not do it to myself. And you must all know that.”
