Former “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett’s lawsuit alleging that the city of Chicago and the Chicago Police Department engaged in “malicious prosecution” when it investigated whether Smollett staged a “hate crime” attack against himself in January of 2019 was tossed out of Federal court late Wednesday.
The city sued Smollett in April of last year, alleging that the out-of-work actor owed the police department and other Chicago workers $130,000 in restitution for “wasted” overtime hours spent investigating whether Smollett was the victim of a hate crime.
