Two brothers who say they helped Jussie Smollett stage a racist and homophobic assault towards himself filed a lawsuit on Tuesday in opposition to the Empire actor’s legal professionals, alleging that the time and again asserted publicly that the brothers performed a real, bigoted attack on Smollett notwithstanding knowing that become no longer authentic.

A lawyer for Olabinjo Osundairo and Abimbola Osundairo filed the federal lawsuit on behalf of the brothers. It names the well-known defense legal professional Mark Geragos and his regulation firm as defendants.

The fit contends that even after police and prosecutors alleged that the 29 January assault in Chicago changed into staged and in any case costs have been dropped, controversially, against Smollett, Geragos and his firm persisted to mention publicly in extensively stated statements that the brothers “led a criminally homophobic, racist and violent attack against Mr. Smollett”, even though they knew that become no longer the case.

 

The lawsuit says that the legal professionals’ repeated statements that Smollett told the truth all along and that the brothers have been lying brought about them “sizeable emotional misery”, made them sense hazardous and alienated them from the local community.

The brothers did now not seem at a news convention their legal professionals held on Tuesday, but they issued a declaration, announcing: “We have sat returned and watched lie after lie being fabricated approximately us in the media, simplest so one large lie can keep having existence. These lies are destroying our person and popularity in our personal and expert lives.”

The lawsuit does not specify an exact sum of money the brothers are looking for, best that could or not it’s extra than $ seventy-five,000 for “appropriate compensatory damages, punitive damages and costs” stemming from the alleged defamation.

Geragos did now not straight away reply to messages searching for remark about the lawsuit.

It additionally accuses Smollett of taking gain of the brothers’ own aspirations to establish TV and film careers by manipulating them into taking component within the alleged hoax.

“In brief, Mr. Smollett used his clout as a rich actor to steer Plaintiffs, who were in a subordinate dating to him and had been desiring to ‘make it’ in Hollywood,” the lawsuit contends.

Police allege that Smollett paid the brothers to assist him to stage an assault wherein he stated masked men beat him, hurled racist and homophobic slurs at him, doused him with a chemical substance and looped a rope around his neck.

Smollett, who’s black and homosexual, continues that the attack became not staged. In the weeks after the alleged attack police arrested the Osundairo brothers on suspicion of assaulting Smollett but released them without price. A police spokesman stated the 2 were no longer considered suspects.

About a week after police puzzled the brothers, Smollett changed into charged with legal disorderly behavior and accused of creating a fake police document about the assault. The Cook County state’s lawyer’s office unexpectedly dropped charges against Smollett in March. The city of Chicago has given that sued Smollett in search of repayment for expenses of investigating his case.
