US Boxer Osundairo Reveals Planning Of Jussie Smollett’s Staged Attack
Nigerian-American boxer Abimbola Osundairo has revealed the behind-the-scene details of the staged attack on Empire actor Jussie Smollett in 2019. The incident, which made headlines globally, saw Smollett claim he was attacked by two men outside his apartment, leading to a subsequent police investigation and legal proceedings.
In a podcast interview on WithChude, Abimbola disclosed that Smollett had requested him and his brother, Olabinjo Osundairo, to beat him up. He suggested that Smollett might have orchestrated the plan in response to an abusive letter he allegedly received, possibly to garner public sympathy and support for his political ambitions.
Abimbola recounted how Smollett had confided in him about the attack plan, asking them to carry it out just days before it was executed. He mentioned that they agreed to participate, believing it could benefit their careers in the competitive acting industry and enhance their connections.
However, the situation took a drastic turn when Smollett allegedly betrayed them by involving the police, leading to their legal troubles. Abimbola emphasized that Smollett never mentioned involving law enforcement during their discussions about staging the attack.
Meanwhile, reports have surfaced suggesting that Smollett had a sexual relationship with one of his alleged attackers, Abel Osundairo. These reports claim that the Osundairo brothers frequented a Chicago gay bathhouse together. However, the brothers have vehemently denied these allegations, asserting that they are not homosexuals.
The staged attack and its aftermath have had far-reaching consequences, with Smollett being convicted of disorderly conduct and sentenced to jail time. The Osundairo brothers also filed a lawsuit against Smollett’s attorneys, alleging defamation and damage to their reputations.
The revelations from Abimbola Osundairo shed new light on the complex and controversial case, raising questions about Smollett’s motives and the extent of his involvement in orchestrating the attack. As the legal proceedings continue, the true nature of the events that transpired on that fateful day in 2019 remains a subject of scrutiny and debate.
