Video footage released on June 24 shows Jussie Smollett wearing a white rope around his neck on Jan. 29 as Chicago police arrived at the scene of what is now understood to have been an orchestrated attack.
The Chicago Police Department recently released the almost 90 hours of footage along with hundreds of files from the Smollett investigation after the actor’s harrowing claim that he had been the victim of a racial and homophobic attack by two white men.
