This prompted a resounding outcry from the Left, including Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Smollett, the former &#8220;Empire&#8221; The star who paid $3500 to Olabinjo Osundairo (Abimbola) has never admitted that the attack which he claimed was carried out by white supremacists is a hoax. After being held for almost two days, the brothers claimed that the attack was a hoax. In December 2021, Smollett was found guilty of five felonies of disorderly conduct. He was sentenced in March 2022 to 150 days in county prison, but he was only allowed to serve six days after an appeal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The police did ask us what Jussie&#8217;s motive was, but Jussie did not really tell me a motive,&#8221; \u00a0Ambiola told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/brothers-in-jussie-smollett-hoax-break-silence-say-actor-wanted-to-be-poster-child-for-activism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Nation<\/a>. &#8220;[But] from what he was speaking about, or talking about, I would say what he wanted to accomplish was to increase his star level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These comments were made during an interview for a Fox Nation documentary called &#8220;Jussie Smollett: Anatomy of a Hoax.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He wanted to be the poster child for activism,&#8221; Ambiola also said that Olabinjo had made the statement. &#8220;That&#8217;s what I wanted to say. He wanted to be the hero for gay people, for black people,&#8221; The Daily Mail <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-11856587\/Brothers-paid-Jussie-Smollett-attack-Chicago-street-break-silence.html?ns_mchannel=rss&#038;ns_campaign=1490&#038;ito=social-twitter_mailonline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I thought he was a good actor, but I also thought this guy was a fraud,&#8221;\u00a0Amibola spoke out, referring to Smollett\u2019s reaction in interviews following the incident. &#8220;This guy is really just sitting here, lying to these people. Lying through his teeth, and not caring. \u2026 I did feel betrayed by Jussie and what he had done. I didn&#8217;t know what to do \u2014 I wasn&#8217;t ready to say anything. Like, I was mute. And I didn&#8217;t want to say anything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Insane. That&#8217;s when I really saw a different side of Jussie,&#8221; He stated. &#8220;Like, dude, really? This is when I knew that this dude was like a supervillain.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When the interviewer asked them if they were brothers, &#8220;believable white supremacists,&#8221; Amibola laughed. &#8220;One hundred percent! Look at me!&#8221; He stated.<\/p>\n<p>Amibola said that Smollett would question him. &#8220;help him procure or get weed, and different types of paraphernalia. \u2026 He would ask me to do it because he&#8217;s not from Chicago, and he wanted to keep a lower profile. \u2026 He did not want to get the drug dealer&#8217;s number \u2013 he wanted me to be the middleman and to get the drugs for him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Smollett hoax was immediately picked up by major Democrats including Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1090422326783606784\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tweet<\/a>, &#8220;What happened today to<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JussieSmollett\">\u00a0@JussieSmollett<\/a>\u00a0must never be tolerated in this country.
