Brothers who helped stage Jussie Smollett ‘hoax’ say actor should have admitted guilt – Washington Examiner
Two brothers who assisted actor Jussie Smollett in staging a false assault in 2019 expressed that they believe Smollett should have admitted his guilt. They criticized the Illinois Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn Smollett’s conviction, calling it a “real injustice.” Abimbola “Bola” Osundairo stated they were surprised not by the court’s ruling, but by Smollett’s continued denial of wrongdoing. His brother, Olabinjo “Ola” Osundairo, highlighted the issue of a favorable deal that Smollett received early in his case from Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, describing it as unjust. Foxx defended the court’s decision and maintained that the prosecution was not valid.
Brothers who helped stage Jussie Smollett ‘hoax’ say actor should have admitted guilt
The two brothers who admitted to helping actor Jussie Smollett stage the actor’s 2019 assault declared the Illinois Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the actor’s conviction is a “real injustice.”
“We were taken aback initially, not because of the supreme court’s decision, but because Jussie never admitted guilt,” Abimbola “Bola” Osundairo told Fox News’s Fox and Friends.

“We understand that he has due process rights and double jeopardy … is not allowed in America. However, Jussie should have admitted guilt.”
The “real injustice” regarding the Smollett case is the “sweetheart deal” Cook County State’s Attorney General Kim Foxx gave the Empire actor at the beginning of the case against him, according to Olabinjo “Ola” Osundairo.
Foxx lauded the decision to overturn Smollett’s conviction.
“What’s important to note is (Special Prosector) Dan Webb knew all along that this was not a legitimate prosecution,” she said. “So, I’m grateful that the court has finally put this to rest.”

Smollett received the treatment he got from Foxx because he has influence and power, according to Abimbola.
“It shows that there are two different citizens in America,” he said. “One with power and one without, and that’s why he got that sweetheart deal.”
The Osundairo brothers have admitted to staging the incident, for which Smollett was convicted on five counts of felony disorderly conduct and acquitted on a sixth for filing a false police report, and they said no one believes that Smollett is telling the truth with his account of events.
“Not a single soul,” Olabinjo said. “I do see people online that still has his back, but no. In my immediate circle, nobody believes him.”
“Not even Pinocchio,” according to Abimbola.
