Amid ongoing speculation surrounding Jussie Smollett’s alleged staged attack in Chicago and his subsequent arrest, “Empire” producers have parted ways with Smollett’s beloved character, Jamal Lyon- for now, at least.
“The events of the past few weeks have been incredibly emotional for all of us,” Lee Daniels said in a joint statement with series executives. “Jussie has been an important member of our ‘Empire’ family for the past five years and we care about him deeply.”
As the execs continued, they highlighted the severity of the allegations and announced the removal of Smollett’s beloved character ‘Jamal Lyon’ as he undergoes due process.
