New reports are revealing that Jussie Smollett actually paid the alleged homophobic attackers for training fee and not rehearsed fake-attack. There are now cheques evidences to back up the claim.
A cheque of $3,500 that was written by Jussie Smollett to the two brothers who ‘staged his attack’ has revealed it was actually for a ‘training fee’.
TMZ has reported that the attackers received a cheque from Jussie Smollett six days to the reported attack for training. The cheque was dated January 23, 2019.
According to TMZ, the 36-year-old actor wrote a check to Abimbola ‘Abel’ Osundairo on January 23, 2019, six days before Abel and his brother Olabinjo reportedly faked a hate crime attack on Smollett in Chicago.
The memo line on the check reads: ‘5 week Nutrition/Workout program Don’t Go.’
Reports reveal that Smollett paid $600 a week for a five-week workout. He went on to pay $100 a week for a five-week nutrition plan, which equals $3,500.
A Venmo payment was also revealed from September 2018 of $100 to Abel, reportedly for ‘training.’
Reports also has it that Smollett weighed 192 pounds and he needed to lose 20 pounds ahead of the shoot.
In text messages between the accused brothers and Smollett, Smollett is allegedly being reminded to do cardio and to stay on his meal plan.
