Jussie Smollett And His Alleged ‘Attacker’ Visited A Chicago Bathhouse Together

Writer Jessica Cortez

A source declares that Jussie Smollett was involved in a sexual association with one of the Nigerian brothers who allegedly organized his ‘hoax’ attack.

On Wednesday, the anonymous insider told that 37 years of age, the Empire star, and his ‘attacker’ Abel Osundairo also attended a well known Chicago bathhouse on several occasions together.

The source stated that “They used to party together and he [Smollet] had a sexual relationship with [Osundairo]. They went to this affluent Chicago bathhouse multiple times and they had to show ID. It’s known as a bathhouse where a lot of affluent black gay men hang out”.

The insider further declared that there is a possibility to be records of both visits to the establishment, and says they could be taken as a facet of Smollet’s upcoming prosecution on felony disorderly conduct penalties.

Smollett is condemned for having Abel Osundairo and Ola Osundairo both act on the set of “Empire,” and in 2019 established a hate crime attack against him. However, Smollett refuses to orchestrate the attack and on the $3,500 he hired the pair for the alleged hoax.

Earlier the Osundairo brothers have refuted being gay and even charged Smollett’s lawyers for name-calling over the claim.

The insider said without giving any further news on the alleged bathhouse that “They used to party together and he had a sexual relationship with [Abel]. They went to this affluent Chicago bathhouse multiple times and they had to show ID. It’s known as a bathhouse where a lot of affluent black gay men hang out. There should be a record [of their visits].”

Nonetheless, earlier Abel and Ola have litigated Smollett’s lawyers Tina Glandian and Mark Geragos for using their name after they accused publicly one of them was in a physical relationship with Smollett. It is noted that such statements are potentially destructive to the Nigerian brothers’ families because of the country’s laws about homosexuality. According to the Page Six report, it is punishable by up to 14 years in jail or death by stoning if the person is married.

Earlier Smollet tells in January 2019, he was attacked by two veiled men in Chicago. He claims they splashed bleach on him, wrapped a noose around his neck and yelled racist and homophobic slurs.

An inquiry later directed police to Abel Osundairo and Ola, who claimed that Smollet gave the money of $3,500 to them to organize the attack in a bid to improve his public profile.

Ola Osundairo is a personal trainer who came up in an episode of Empire. Smollet and Ola reportedly became friendly and exchanged ‘workout tips’ through text messages.

Smollet afterward was fined with fabricating to police before the lawsuit was later declined. However, Smollet was prosecuted also in February of this year attending an inquiry by a special prosecutor.

After weeks, police declared Smollett hired two black friends to help orchestrate the attack because he was disappointed with his earnings as an actor on “Empire,” a Fox series filmed in Chicago that follows a black family as they steer the ups and downs of the recording industry.
