The 2 men who were arrested, then released Friday night, in the Jussie Smollett case are pro-LGBTQ and anti-Trump, which has people on the "Empire" set scratching their heads.
We've spoken with "Empire" cast and crew, and they say Ola and Abel Osundairo do not fit the profile of racists and homophobes -- not even close. As we reported, both men have been extras on "Empire" for years and both are friendly with Jussie, and Abel is especially close to him. We're told Jussie would frequently approach the brothers on set and chat about health and fitness.
Our Empire sources say Abel especially is an ally of the LGBTQ community, and neither have ever said anything positive about Trump. They're both big Obama fans.
We're told Abel worked as an "Empire" extra as recently as a month ago. They're considered family on the set ... well-known and well-liked by cast and crew.
The folks we've spoken with say they find it impossible to believe Ola and Abel have the DNA of criminals who would carry out the acts that Jussie describes -- and obviously cops now believe that as well.
Police arrested the brothers for battery Friday after cops raided their home Wednesday and seized a long list of items, including several bottles of bleach. However, late Friday Chicago PD released the brothers due to "new evidence" gathered from their interrogation ... and said they're no longer suspects.
As we reported, Jussie initially said his attackers were white -- yet another fact that just doesn't track with the Osundairos profile.
U think they ain’t on that shit already? CPD asked Jussie to submit his phone records while simultaneously subpoena information them shits from his phone his phone company..... the idiot submitted a redacted phone records not knowing that the CPD already had his full records... they bout to make an example out of that foolWhy not check everyone’s phone records and possibly emails to see if they tried to stage this?

That’s next .... they got his redacted and unredacted recordthey need get a warrant to get his phone and run it through forensic tools to undelete and capture everything that is and, more importantly, WAS on it.
Guarantee you there's some shit there that would probably send his ass to prison for staging all of this.
Lmaaoooooooo
