The Pascal Show #80 - Jussie Smollett Sentenced; Placed In Psych Ward: Taraji P. Henson Compares Him To EMMETT TILL?!
Manage episode 322955441 series 2617497
Instagram is rapidly becoming the go-to source of Jussie Smollett defenders.
Today, Smollett’s fellow Empire castmate Taraji P. Henson took to the service to plead for home confinement rather than jail for Smollett, who was sentenced Thursday to 150 days incarceration for his role in creating a hate hoax.
She posted a stark black and white message with the hashtag #FreeJussie and a full-throated call for his release. Smollett is reportedly in Cook County Jail’s psych ward where high-profile prisoners are kept.
“I am not here to debate you on his innocence,” Henson wrote. “But we can agree that the punishment does not fit the crime. Emmett Till was brutally beat and ultimately murdered because of a lie, and none of the people involved with his demise spent one day in jail, even after Carolyn Bryant admitted that her claims were false.
