Justice4Jussie: Smollett Being Written Out of Season's Final Two Episodes; Rest of Cast Allegedly Furious That Smollett Lied to Them and Embarrassed Them, Per TMZ

He wanted to be more famous. He succeeded.

Fox just announced it's scratching Smollett from the end of the current season. The statement says, "The events of the past few weeks have been incredibly emotional for all of us. Jussie has been an important member of our EMPIRE family for the past five years and we care about him deeply. While these allegations are very disturbing, we are placing our trust in the legal system as the process plays out."

The statement continues, "We are also aware of the effects of this process on the cast and crew members who work on our show and to avoid further disruption on set, we have decided to remove the role of 'Jamal' from the final two episodes of the season."

...

Jussie Smollett betrayed the trust of his "Empire" coworkers and damaged the show's image, and now several cast members want him written off immediately ... according to our sources.

We're told many of the "Empire" actors are "f**king furious" and feel if FOX honchos don't fire Jussie, he should quit on his own ... because he doesn't deserve a spot on the hit show.

Apparently Jussie emotionally confessed to his colleagues that he was totally, totally innocent of everything.

Tucker Carlson took the opportunity to have some fun at the expense of Jussie Smollett's superfan/stalker, Don LeMon.

"Yes, he's a highly-paid news anchor with his own TV show; yet like Jussie Smollett, Don LeMon is a holy victim. So there's a mad scramble over who is the victim here. Who is the victim? Well, there is one. What Smollett did was not a victimless crime. There's no such thing as that. An entire group of people did get slandered by this hoax. People with the wrong political beliefs and the wrong skin color. Smollett and his many defenders savagely attacked these people and are not apologizing for doing it. Instead they are telling you, you hear this everywhere, that the real losers here are the authentic victims of hate crimes who won’t be believed the next time.

"What about the innocent Americans they just poured venom on for two weeks because it matched some bigoted stereotypes they had about middle America? What about them? There's no mention of them," Carlson added. "Don LeMon would very much like to keep up those attacks on those people. Attacking them allows him to feel oppressed. That is why when Smollett was finally caught, Lemon reacted in a very puzzling way. He didn’t seem especially concerned that his buddy had lied to further divide the country to hurt America--which he did--no, that wasn't the real problem. The real problem, according to Don Lemon, is that Smollett’s arrest might discredit the cult of victimhood."
