A while back I heard about this awful attack on the Empire actor where he claimed he was attacked by 2 white men wearing MAGA hats. They reportedly tied a noose around his neck, threw bleach on him and called him racist and homophobic slurs. It was pretty scary stuff and seemed almost too extreme to be true. Turns out it most likely was. It's being reported now that the actor planned the whole thing, hired two men to attack him all because his character was being written off the show. This is unbelievable turn of events, and if he did plan the whole thing he is looking at serious jail time.
