Jussie Smollett may really be the victim..
In the call, Smollett manager Frank Gatson declined to identify Smolett.“I just need the police to come by. I work for an artist. I don’t really want to say his name,” Gatson said to 911. “He states he went to Subway … and two guys —somebody jumped him or something like that. I just want to report it and make sure he’s alright.”
Gatson made two calls, the first coming at 2:22 AM, which would make it 20 minutes after Smollett claimed to have been attacked. He later called back to 911 at 2:38 AM to check on the police arrival time. The manager claimed when asked why Smollett didn’t call himself that, “He was cool, he didn’t want me to call you guys.”
So Jussie's manager called the police. Twice. Jussie never called them himself, and apparently never wanted to call them.
The manager also refused to identify his client.
None of that adds up. Why hide the fact you're Jussie's agent, and want to report an attack? Why wasn't it reported that the agent knew of this attack?
Maybe because Jussie didn't know, he knew. Maybe this was his manager's scheme, without the knowledge or consent of his client, to raise his stock in Hollywood.
