Suicide watch: Jussie Smollett placed in psychiatric ward
Jussie Smollett placed in psychiatric ward of prison following outburst at his sentencing, family claims.
The family of disgraced former Empire actor
Jussie Smollett says he has been put in a
psychiatric ward and considered a suicide risk,
despite being mentally sound.
It’s the latest twist in the fate of Smollett, who was
convicted in December of faking a 2019 hate
crime against himself, in what police said was an
attempt to build public sympathy.
“What’s very concerning is that there was a note
attached to his paperwork today saying that he’s at
risk of self-harm,” his brother Jocqui Smollett said
in a video posted to Jussie’s Instagram account on
Saturday.”
“He is in no way, shape, or form at risk
of self-harm.”
“He is very stable. He is very strong.”
