FOX should "Roseanne" Smollet!

I think it's pretty obvious by this point, Jussie Smollet can't keep his pie-hole shut and poses a pretty serious liability to FOX's reputation.

Talking about how he's a modern day Tupac, and proclaiming his innocence on the courthouse steps, etc.

I think if I was a FOX executive I'd "Roseanne" his ass!

If he want's to be Tupac...then why not grant him his wish???

Wouldn't even need any new footage, just a cutting room floor scene of him walking out a door, or whatever. Then the scene cuts to a bunch of people sitting around upset after learning his character had been gunned down shortly afterwards in his car on some boulevard by some gangstah's.

Buh bye...jussie! Only thing is...you won't get the fame Tupac had because Tupac was real, and you're NOT!

Nice knowin' ya!

ETA - Roseanne did WAY less wrong than this douche muffin did!!!

This is the same company that kept Bill O'Reilly and Roger Ailes employed despite decades of sexual harassment claims. Much like those cases, just like with Roseanne, Smollett will remain on Empire as long as sponsors don't start pulling out.

If you want him gone start letting the sponsors know you won't watch the show if Smollett remains employed.

Pretty sure he is gone from the show.

AzMarie Livingston wants him back on the show, not that I ever watched that show, but if I did I would quit.

I don't watch it. So I wouldn't know.

The difference is sexual harassment is a victimless crime, like embezzlement or shoplifting.

I thought he was too. Isn't Fox now owned by Disney except for the news part? en.wikipedia.org...
Found this.

a reply to: Xcalibur254

Me either. If I did I would quit watching it now after this fiasco.

Unfortunately.

a reply to: Tarzan the apeman.

The Murdochs retained the broadcast Fox networks, Fox News, and FSN. So Empire is still a Fox show and not a Disney show.

a reply to: Xcalibur254

Thanks.

Smollet.

This generations OJ Simpson.

They didn't get him now, but they did get him in the end.

a reply to: neo96

And today like then we all know he did it. Difference being they were much more subtle in letting OJ off.

or punching someone in the dark!

Oh but, what happened to Roseanne was the crime of the century, that drove many here to outrage.

If you were to do the same to someone else, why that would make you... *gasp* ... hypocrites..


I am shocked. Just shocked.

Exactly, Nelson.

He should change his last name to something that doesn't make me think either "mullet" or "mollusk" when I hear it. His first name is odd sounding too. Not that that matters too much in everyday life. But when your name is all over the news and everyone is saying it, it probably helps if it isn't ugly as hell.

a reply to: Jefferton

No it wouldn't, I don't recall Rosanne faking an attack on her person and sending a fake letter to herself to improve her career.

a reply to: BrianFlanders

Hmmmm...Pussy Mollusk...does have a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

a reply to: Flyingclaydisk

He's not on the show anymore. His character was killed.

a reply to: Flyingclaydisk

My sources do tell me that in response to the Smollett issue. . . ABC has decided to re-fire Roseanne Barr.
