Justice4Jussie: TMZ Reports Smollet's Role on "Empire" Has Been Slashed
Thank goodness! This poor man needs to recover after being brutally attacked by red-hat wearing MAGA White Devils.
Production sources tell TMZ ... Jussie was supposed to have 9 scenes and a big musical number in the second to the last episode -- which is being shot now -- but, 5 of his scenes have been cut, and his musical number has been 86'd.
As for the remaining 4 scenes ... we're told he's no longer the focus. The scene features an ensemble, meaning he's flanked by a number of cast members.
With his duties pared down, Jussie will be spending way less time on set. Instead of working every day this week, we're told Jussie's working Friday and possibly Thursday, and he won't be rehearsing.
TMZ reports that writers are busy editing his part down. I have a source at Empire, he sent me this animatic of Jussie's planned scenes.
