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.”
