Yep, gotta remove the Tinder-based evidence. Or maybe the number of a higher end escort service.

The few gays that I have known, had an appetite for illegal substances. He probably isn't an exception.

To get records from the cellphone company they'd have to have a warrant. It would be easier if the victim would cooperate.

I'm guessing this guy just wants this to go away. He lied and didn't think it would grow legs and become a thing. He just wanted to #metoo and cry about Trump, not have police and the media take him seriously and try to find the attackers he made up.
I think there are too many inconsistencies and implausible details of his story.

That being said, if I was a public figure/star/etc. and doing something that could cast me in a bad light and maybe affect my employment, I'd make up a story about it too.

I'd take my lumps quietly and not call the cops or the media to make up some foolish story.

He called his manager, and his manager called the cops. That tells me it was the manager's idea. "Hey, let's turn this into a publicity thing! We'll tell them that Trump supporters attacked you and called you names!"

If I were him I'd fire that manager.

His manager calling is why I think that. Imagine you getting beaten in the street at 2am when it was in the single digits outside, a rope tied around your neck, and a "chemical" poured on you and not calling the cops.

Exactly. What does bleach do, besides whiten things? Why, it destroys DNA. So if you dont want the police to find any DNA liberally sprinkled about your person by an escort, but then need to explain why you smell like bleach......... And if they see any marks around your neck because you asked that escort to rough things up a bit, then the rope makes sense.

sounds like he was hurt a bit by whomever he was "sharing his sandwich" with and felt the need to go get checked out, but called the manager to figure out how to do that without seeming like he had to pay for it....... and it went downhill from there.

I never thought of that, but it certainly sounds more plausible than his story.

Jeez man, I need a shower after merely reading that.

And waling into your apartment building and showing up at the hospital over an hour later with the rope still around your neck.. wouldn't that be the first thing you did?? Get the rope off!

To be fair, the newspaper (not the cops?) traced his route and found an empty hot sauce bottle that had some "clear liquid that smelled like bleach" in it.

Cameras in the area also caught two "people of interest" but it's not clear if they are suspected of anything.


Also, he didn't go to the hospital right away. The cops came to his house, where he was wearing the rope still. Cops told him to go to the hospital, and he did.
Guglielmi added that when officers arrived at Smollett's apartment, he still had the rope around his neck and cuts and scrapes on his face.
Smollett went to Northwestern Memorial Hospital after being advised to do so by the officers, according to the police report. Police said he was treated for scrapes and bruises and released.

I agree that I wouldn't continue to wear it but if it did happen as he said, can understand the shock he may have been in.

I can understand his shock as well...shocked to believe for 1 second that he might actually get away with this hoax

The story says they did it last week. He was allegedly attacked 13 days ago, so it could be around a week later.

The story says the police were notified and they gave it to the FBI.

Still sounds stupid -

SOMEHOW he managed to get attacked inside the only minute he wasn't seen on camera -
A little bottle of hot sauce with bleach in it was found - why would anyone do that? Who does that?
Would YOU plan to attach someone at 2am in the cold and be carrying a hot sauce bottle with bleach in it -
and then be stupid enough to drop it on the ground?
He managed to get beat up badly - but still had his sandwich?

He won't give up his cell phone data -

It's fishy all right.

I've stated my qualms with his story and was simply passing along the information.

Cops have already said his redacted phone records amount to squat so we'll see if he gives full phone records.
