GRA: “It’s medication time.”
(chicago4) Actor Jussie Smollett has been moved to a psychiatric ward at Cook County Jail, his brother announced on instagram, days after Smollett was sentenced for staging a hate crime and lying to police.
In a video posted toinstagram Sunday afternoon, the actor's brother, Jocqui Smollett, stated a note attached to Smollett’s paperwork said he was at risk of self-harm, and he was transferred to a psychiatric unit.
Jocqui Smollett disagreed with the move, calling the reported placement an “outrage” and “lack of justice.”
“I just want to make it clear to folks, he is in no way shape or form at risk of self-harm,” Jocqui Smollett said. “He is very stable, he is very strong, he i
s very healthy and ready to take on the challenge that has ultimately been put up against him.”
[N.S.: What “challenge”?]
A judge on Thursday sentenced Smollett to 150 days in Cook County Jail following his conviction for lying to police about being the victim of a hoax hate crime in 2019.
He began his sentence immediately after learning his fate Thursday.
On Friday, as anticipated, the actor's defense attorneys filed a notice of appeal in Cook County Criminal Court as well as an emergency injunction seeking the actor's release.
GRA: Many other Hollywood types belong there as well: Cher, Joy Behar, Ashley Judd, Seth Rogan, et al.
