I never watched Empire, nor even heard of it before the Jussie Smollett hoax. Fox TV has decided to give Empire another season, with one key missing. No more Jussie Smollett! Looks like the hoaxster got out of jail free with the corrupt Chicago Democrat Kimm Foxx, but he can’t keep earning millions off Empire anymore. While it may sound somewhat like poetic justice, it really isn’t. It’s not out of the realm of possibiliyy that Fox quietly brings the hoaxster back when everyone else’s attention is on the presidential election next year. Maybe The View can hire Smollett as a fill one when one of the witches is on vacation.

Actor Jussie Smollett isn't expected to return to "Empire" next season, but the show still has an option to sign him — meaning a return to the show isn't totally out of the realm of possibility https://t.co/n5HBYXP298
