More from “The Sun” ..and on cue,as it were,as Jussie has a drug problem.
“Today Fox confirmed Smollett had been axed from the last two episodes of hit drama Empire a day after he was freed on $100,000 bail.
He went straight from court to the TV set where he made a tearful apology to cast and crew - but they were said top be furious at him over the outrageous alleged stunt.
Police charged Smollett on Wednesday with staging the violent attack in Chicago and he handed himself in the next morning.
During his arrest he reportedly told officers he struggled with drug use and had never been treated, TMZ reports.
And police papers say text messages appear to show Smollett asking pal and Empire extra Abel Osundairo for "Molly" - a street name for ecstasy.
If he is convicted, a drug problem could be used as a mitigating factor and get his sentence reduced, US reports say.”
