I am not that motherf*****. Never have been. Don\u2019t need to be,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSmollett told police on January 29, 2019, that he was attacked by two men in Chicago at 2 a.m. who he claimed made racist and homophobic slurs, wrapped a rope around his neck, poured an \u2018unknown substance\u2019 on him, and yelled that this is \u2018MAGA country,\u2019\u201d The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-jussie-smollett-ordered-released-from-jail-after-serving-less-than-week-of-5-month-sentence\/\">reported.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor whatever reason, I genuinely thought that people were gonna be like, \u2018There is no way he did some bulls*** like that,\u2019\u201d Smollett continued on the podcast. \u201cY\u2019all know me. And I\u2019m thinking, people\u2019s history should mean something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Smollet then attempted to deflect by saying some claims against him were true, but the claims he had perpetrated the hoax were not:<\/p>\n<p><em>And it\u2019s very interesting: When someone lies on you, over and over, and you know what is the lie, then you\u2019re forced to acknowledge the truths around the matter as well. And that\u2019s really painful as well, cause it\u2019s easy to just be like, \u201cThat\u2019s a bulls*** lie. I didn\u2019t do no f***ing hoax. F*** that.\u201d But then at the same time, then they bring out drug stuff. And you\u2019re, \u201cWhew, I did do that.\u201d And you\u2019re sitting there and you\u2019re like, \u201cBut this doesn\u2019t have anything to do with what y\u2019all are saying I did do that I didn\u2019t do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t hold the people to anything that stepped back,\u201d Smollett said of his critics. \u201cI hold the people that went out there and said s***. I hold them to something, And not the people who don\u2019t know me. But the people who do know me? F*** out of here. Y\u2019all know better than that, Y\u2019all know better than that. That\u2019s some PR bulls***. And you know who you are. And I will not name names and I love everybody, but I don\u2019t like everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am an actor, a director, a writer, a producer,\u201d Smollett claimed. \u201cIf I were\u00a0to do something, it would not be to look like a victim.
