April 23 (UPI) -- Two brothers are suing defense attorneys who represented actor Jussie Smollett over claims he staged a hate crime against himself, arguing they made numerous false statements that hurt their reputations and careers.
In the suit filed Tuesday, Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo say Smollett paid them "to stage the attack to benefit himself" and "directed every aspect of the attack." It accuses Smollett's legal team of defamation.
