Former “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett was indicted again in connection with the alleged attack in Chicago in January 2019.

He was originally charged with 16 counts of felony disorderly conduct for allegedly lying to police. Officials claimed he staged a hate crime attack on himself because he was not happy with his “Empire” salary.
