MAGA Hate Hoaxer Jussie Smollett to Make Stunning Television Comeback This Fall

   by Ben Kew Aug. 7, 2025 9:30 am

   The MAGA hate hoaxer Jussie Smollett is making an unexpected return to
   televsion.

   Smollett, a former Empire star who became the source of global controversy
   are after paying two men to stage a racist and homophobic hate crime
   against himself, will appear on Fox network's Special Forces: World's
   Toughest Test this winter.

   The Hollywood Reporter notes:

     More than six years after leaving Fox's Empire amid an uproar over an
     allegedly staged attack, Jussie Smollett is returning to the network.

     Smollett will be part of the network's competition show Special Forces:
     World's Toughest Test in the fall.

     The actor and singer is one of 18 celebrities taking on a series of
     challenges that mirror those of military special forces training.

     The season's other contestants are Kody Brown (TLC's Sister Wives),
     Brittany Cartwright (Bravo's The Valley), Randall Cobb (former NFL
     player), Eric Decker (former NFL player), Jessie James Decker (country
     music artist), Andrew East (former NFL player), Shawn Johnson East (gold
     medal-winning Olympic gymnast), Mark Estes ("internet personality", Gia
     Giudice, Teresa Giudice (The Real Housewives of New Jersey), Chanel Iman
     (model), Brianna LaPaglia ("internet personality" aka Brianna
     Chickenfry), Johnny Manziel (former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL
     player), Eva Marcille (model and actress), Ravi V. Patel (Fox's Animal
     Control), Christie Pearce Rampone (World Cup winner with the U.S.
     women's soccer team) and Nick Young (former NBA player).

   Smollett's unexpected return comes seven years after his staged attack, in
   which he claimed two men tied a noose around his neck and declared that
   America was now "MAGA country."

   According to reports at the time, Smollett planned the attack out of
   frustration with his annual $1 million salary, blieving that public
   sympathy for his alleged victimhood might help him secure a better
   contract.

   In 2021, he was sentenced to 150 days in jail, 30 months of felony
   probation, ordered to pay $120,000 in restitution to the city of Chicago,
   and fined $25,000.

   However, he served only six days before being released. His conviction was
   eventually overturned on appeal.

   Meanwhile, Smollett continues to maintain his innocence, despite recently
   reaching an undisclosed settlement with the city of Chicago over the
   incident.
