Toward the end of January, the actor from the show empire by the name of Jussie Smollett. He was involved in a incident where he was beaten up and called homophobic remarks that lead to him being left on the sidewalk. He stated that he was initially jumped and beat brutally but something about his story wasn’t adding to officials who got to the scene. After his interview with ABC news anchor Robin Roberts he said he was hurt over people questioning his story and didn’t believe that he was actually telling the truth. When the news finally broke about what happen, it was absolutely evident that he was lying and staged the events that came about. He paid two gentlemen about 3500 to physically assault him and say derogatory terms that made it seem like it was a racist attack but it later was determined that  he did this because he was unsatisfied with his pay on the show and wanted more. He’s been charged with disorderly conduct and filing a false police report, he could be facing some real jail time from this stunt but a lot of people such as Tyler perry are backing him and trying to find some resolution in the problem he made but every thing remains to be that he lied about the whole situation.
