"Empire" actor Jussie Smollett appeared in court in Chicago on Thursday and pleaded not guilty to falsely reporting to police that he was the victim of a hate-crime assault.

'Hate crime or hoax?' An attack on gay black actor called into question.

‘Empire’ actor Jussie Smollett faces one felony count of filing a false police report, after authorities say, he paid two brothers thousands of dollars to beat him in a staged racist and homophobic attack because he was unhappy with his salary.

The actor says he turned down the iconic role for Wild Wild West, because he wasn't impressed with the film's pitch. 'The Matrix' was hailed by critics at the time as "the most influential action movie of the generation." Smith revealed that he's "not proud" of his decision.

Chicago police have shifted the direction of their investigation into actor Jussie Smollett’s report of a hate-crime assault and are seeking to interview him again, after releasing two men detained for questioning in the probe, a police spokesman said.
