A judge sentenced actor Jussie Smollett to 150 days in prison Thursday for filing multiple false police reports alleging he was the victim of a brutal homophobic hate crime.
Cook County Circuit Court Judge James Linn tore into Smollett during sentencing.
“You’re just a charlatan pretending to be a victim of a hate crime,” the judge told Smollett, adding, “Your very name has become an adverb for ‘lying.’”
“Your performance on the witness stand can only be described as pure perjury,” the judge also told him. “You are now a permanently convicted felon.”
“There is nothing that I can do here today that will come close to the damage you’ve already done to your own life,” Linn added. “You turned your life upside down by your misconduct and shenanigans.”
“I believe that you did damage to real hate crime victims,” the judge said, chastising the disgraced actor.
“The officer asked you a simple question. And then you start to lie and haven’t stopped lying since,” the judge said. “You’ve been lying and lying and lying about this case, and that’s why you’re here today.”
The former Empire cast member reportedly responded to the sentence by repeatedly yelling, “I am not suicidal!”
Wild moment: After getting sentenced to 150 days in jail, Jussie Smollett maintains his innocence and repeats how he is not suicidal.

“If anything happens to me in there, I did not do it,” he also reportedly said.
Breitbart reports Smollett was sentenced to “150 days in Cook County jail, 30 months of probation, pay a restitution of $120,106, and a fine of $25,000.”
Last December, Smollett was found guilty on 5 of 6 felony disorderly conduct counts, each carrying a maximum sentence of three years in prison.
The charges stemmed from a January 2019 incident, in which Smollett, 39, hired friends to help him stage a fake hate crime attack, where he was assaulted by two Trump supporters wearing MAGA hats who yelled racist and homophobic slurs at him, before declaring, “MAGA Country!” pouring bleach on him, and putting a noose around his neck.
The case caused tumultuous upheaval in Chicago after Cook County State Attorney Kim Foxx moved to drop all charges against Smollett in March 2019, prompting police union protests that forced Foxx to recuse herself from the case.
After Foxx recused herself, a special prosecutor took over the investigation and found Smollett did indeed file numerous false police reports, leading a Cook County grand jury to return a six-count indictment against him.
Following the fake attack fellow Hollywood actors and many Democrat politicians, including Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, jumped to blame racism for the former “Empire” actor’s attack.
