Priceless

  • Two bodybuilding brothers say their reputations were trashed by lawyers for Jussie Smollett, but proving the actor’s celebrity attorneys owe them damages may mean proving the same case against the “Empire” actor that Cook County prosecutors dropped last month.

    Brothers Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo on Wednesday filed a lawsuit against Smollett’s lawyers, Tina Glandian and Mark Geragos, claiming the two lawyers smeared them on national television and in podcast interviews after Cook County prosecutors abruptly dropped charges against Smollett a month ago. But defamation lawsuits often hinge on one issue: whether the alleged harmful statements were true.
We're imagining that this is a play for a payoff, but it may have the unintended consequence of validating the police investigation as portions (or all) of the sealed records become public - including cell and text messages from some politically heavy players being forced into the light.

That probably won't be allowed to happen, so expect some sort of settlement (i.e. a bribe) to drop the lawsuit shortly.

Looks like Crimesha will be left behind to deal with the fallout.
