Smollett, a Black and Gay male, has always spoken out about injustices in the Black community, as well as the LGBTQ community. TMZ reported that Smollett “was brutally attacked by 2 men who beat him up, put his head in a noose and screamed, ‘This is MAGA country.'”

According to the Chicago Tribune, police say the two men approached Smollett about 2 a.m. Tuesday as he was walking in the 300 block of East Lower Water Street and got his attention by yelling out racial and homophobic slurs. The offenders began to “batter” the man with their hands and poured an unknown chemical substance on him, according to police.

Smollett reportedly received a letter in the mail with the message “you will die black **,” which was reported to the police.


Since the attack became public knowledge, the Chicago police department released a statement confirming a “racially-charged assault and battery.”

“Given the severity of the allegations, we are taking this investigation very seriously and treating it as a possible hate crime. Detectives are currently working to gather video, identify potential witnesses and establish an investigative timeline,” CPD spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement.
