BREAKING: Jussie Smollett Hit With Additional 16-Count Indictment From Grand Jury

The trouble is not yet over for "Empire" star Jussie Smollett, despite being out on bond on a single count of filing a false police report with the Chicago Police Department.

Friday afternoon, prosecutors announced that a Cook County grand jury finally wrapped up its investigation into Smollett's alleged "hate crime" hoax, and returned a 16-count indictment against the actor in connection with the January 29th incident, in which Smollett claimed he was approached and beaten by two Trump supporters.

CBS Chicago reports that the "jury returned 16 felony counts of disorderly conduct against the actor for allegedly staging a hate crime attack." The grand jury also reportedly accused Smollett of falsifying a crime.

Local news source, CWB Chicago, also says that the "grand jury's true bill states that Smollett lied about the attack to two separate police officers -- the beat cop who took his initial report and a detective who conducted a follow-up interview the same day."

These charges are in addition to the "felony disorderly conduct -- false report" Smollett was hit with last month.

When will people of color quit blaming society for something that happened years ago and had no effect on them directly? Move on and become productive on your own merits; be proud of your heritage and God given talents. Stop looking for excuses.
