Brothers who were paid by Jussie Smollett to attack him on Chicago street break their silence - Daily Mail

Smollett, a gay man who alleged his attackers were a pair of MAGA hat-clad white supremacists, has since vehemently denied the charges, even after serving six days of an agreed-upon 150 sentence in a Chicago jail.

'We was in character the whole time,' Olabinjo agreed, after being asked by one of the interviewers if the duo had served as 'believable white supremacists' - with the obvious elephant in the room being the statuesque brothers' skin color.

The five-part series featured interviews with Chicago detectives who were called to investigate the case, and how they secretly discerned that despite Smollett's account of the January 29, 2019, the actor's supposed assailants had been black.

The brothers' in-depth testimonies recounted how Smollett orchestrated the plot and sought them as accomplices enabled jurors to reach a guilty verdict in the high profile case - a ruling the actor last year appealed, allowing him to pause his 150-day sentence after just six days

The siblings were held in a Cook County detention cell for 47 hours before they cracked and owned up to taking part in Smollett's strange plot for the first time - which they said the actor designed with the ultimate goal of being viewed as a hero for not only the LGBTQ community, but to black people as well.

Amibola recalled how at the time, he felt this assessment to be true, describing how the trio would frequent bars while Smollett was filming in Chicago, and how the actor-director even helped them get parts in the hit drama series.
