His behaviour was despicable and as the commentator in the piece below correctly states “it’s a slap in the face of the city that’s embraced him “ He seems like a throughly despicable piece of work , no doubt he will have his defenders using the currently favoured piece of P R bullshit saying things like “ Our client deeply regrets his grave error of judgement and offers his heartfelt apologies to those he’s injured “ etc ,etc . Smollett's current "Empire" salary pays him $65,000 per episode, according to HuffPost. There are approximately 18 episodes per season of the hit Fox show. Johnson strongly condemned Smollett's alleged actions, calling it "shameful" that the actor "took advantage of the pain and anger of racism to advance his career." "As a black man who spent his entire life living in the city of Chicago, I know the racial divide that exists here," Johnson said. "I know how hard it's been for our city and our nation to come together ... How can an individual who's been embraced by the city of Chicago turn around and slap everyone in this city in the face by making these false claims?" Side: His pay wouldn’t increase
