Former 'Empire' star Jussie Smollett, 39, is continuing to maintain his innocence as he faces new charges for allegedly lying to police officers about a January 2019 attack
He was seen entering court in Chicago on Wednesday wearing a blue suit with a lighter blue blazer to face six counts of felony misconduct for allegedly lying to the cops about the racist and homophobic attack
On his way into court, Smollett insisted he was innocent and called the proceedings a 'dog and pony show' Smollett had claimed in January 2019 that two masked men approached him as he was walking home from a Subway shop and beat him down and looped a noose around his neck before fleeing
He said the attackers used the 'N-word' and called him a 'f*****,' with one telling him he was in 'MAGA country'
Police later identified the suspects as Abel and Olabinjo Osundairo, who claimed Smollett had paid them to stage the attack in an effort to raise his public profile
Smollett, 39, was indicted by a special prosecutor with six counts of disorderly conduct for filing a false police report in February 2020, more than one year after the actor claimed two masked men attacked him as he was walking home.
