Actor Jussie Smollett is seen here in his booking photo on February 21, 2019, following his arrest earlier that morning. Smollett, a cast member of the hit TV show "Empire," has been charged with disorderly conduct and filing a false police report, both felonies, stemming from a January 29 statement in which he said attackers poured what he believed was bleach all over his body and put a noose around his neck while making slurs about his race and sexuality. Police say Smollett was unhappy with his salary, prompting him to stage teh attack. Photo courtesy Chicago Police Department/UPI
