The brothers accused of attacking actor Jussie Smollett, only to be cleared of the crime when prosecutors announced Smollett had orchestrated a hoax to advance his career, are suing his legal team for defamation, attorneys said Tuesday.
The federal lawsuit alleges defamation and false light by attorney Tina Glandian for saying, among other things, that brothers Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo attacked the"Empire" actor and dealt steroids, and that Abimbola engaged in sexual relations with the actor.The lawsuit also names Mark Geragos, who heads the firm that employs Glandian. CNN is reaching out to the lawyers for response. "In short, Mr.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel: Whitewash of justice in Smollett case 02:50Attorney Gloria Schmidt said the Osundairos, who were extras on"Empire," merely thought they were helping Smollett and were made scapegoats after Smollett's ruse was uncovered. Read More"They were asked to do something by a friend that they trusted, and at the end of the day that friend betrayed that trust," she told reporters.
Osundairo brothers' attorney 'baffled' by dropped charges 01:38The brothers have faced difficulty obtaining jobs, attorney Greg Kulis said. Their health and training business has suffered as a result of the allegations they committed a hate crime and sold steroids, which they deny, and Abimbola Osundairo, who is straight, has suffered reputational damage among a Nigerian community that widely frowns on being gay, the brothers' legal team said.
They all need to be in jail, and the Chicago prosecutor trhat 'recused' herself needs to he disbarred for interfering.
So because these boys don't like to wear shirt and have hairstyle like yahoo boys that's why Mr smollet felt he could turn to SARS and accuse them anyhow? At least they will prove to him that sars only exists in naija and nowhere else.
Good .... Smollett is a disgrace to the human race . and his friends get them in legal trouble orchestrate the whole thing then be a little lieing snitch. man up u throw ur boys under the bus and b the driver that's a rat snitch lier not much more u can say then a faker snitch!!
Good for them. Take that lying sack of crap down.
WOW can anyone imagine if some white guy did the same thing? Media would have gone ballistic and it would have been a hate crime. A hate crime is exactly what it means - Hate. These fellas got suckered for a few bucks!
The brothers deserve their reputation back
So much drama!
How can you sue a defence team for defamation? Ridiculous. It will no doubt be thrown out at the first opportunity. The Bros should be going after Smollett, who is the definition of liberal privilege - even that doesn’t have legs IMO, but it would at least make sense.
He used these guys and threw them away after getting caught in his lies.
Ma swinya baba
Why are they suing JussieSmollett you know the one that hired them!!! Isn't it sad that rich Elite Democrats get away with everything and they let the poor blacks take the fall! democratplantation JoeBiden Demonrats

That’s really messed up, I hope he got the advancement he was looking for
Good luck!
Smollet must face justice! !
All Smollett had to do is NOT keep pretending he was innocent.

CNN JUSSIE SMOLETTE is a hater, a RACIST and a LIAR.
Only in America!
Jussie will have some explaining to do. Hopefully the FBI is doing its job, and he is prosecuted for a hoax that could have sparked riots.
Glad they are. That lying piece of crap should be facing charges and apologizing
Smollett is never even named in the suit. Also they're admitting that homosexuality is banned in their country & thus could give geragos a reason to say they attacked him on their own
I like this turn.
Did anyone expect these guys to say that they committed a crime? Especially when the Cops had apparently wrongfully stacked in their defense for them
Jussie should apologize, first of all.
Just the evidence ....
Revoke their visas!
Enough of this circus. All three should be going to jail!
Is it just me, or that tweet/headline is a mouthful full to read out loud? 🤣🤣

Ha! They beat up Jussie in good faith, as they were paid to do. But for Jussie to accuse them of using white face, well. That crossed the line.
the fa**t really needs to be thrown in jail though
I think it's now being referred to as a 'gag' beat up?🤔
I wondered what happened to them.
Oma
Nobody gives a shit.
Why wouldn't they be charged with participating in a hoax? Did they agree to testify before Smollett's charges were dropped so that they wouldn't face charges?
I hope they decide to wear shirts to court.
These guys didn't commit a crime?
Who cares
Didn't I pay this guys enough? 😂
They’re suing for one million dollars or least, a decent pec routine.
Go after him.
Man this just gets better and better
Didn't he pay these guys to beat him up? I don't see where you can sue someone for defamation on the basis that they're saying you committed a different crime than the one they paid you to do. I feel like you'd play yourself either way.
