'If you're gonna break the law, do not write a check': Charles Barkley mocks Jussie Smollett
2019-02-23
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Barkley made the jokes during his half-time coverage of a basketball game on Thursday night

  • He, like countless others, was stunned by the claim Smollett paid his attackers with a personal check

  • Barkley joked that instead of hiring two black friends to allegedly beat him, the Empire star should have gone to 'Liam Neeson's neighborhood'

  • Neeson shocked the world earlier this month by admitting he once roamed the streets looking for a 'black b*****d' to beat up

  • Smollett is out on bail and will return to court on March 14 to face a felony charge of filing a false police report

  • He maintains he is innocent and has condemned the police and prosecutors involved in his case

  • They say they have solid proof he staged the January 29 attack and even mailed a letter to himself a week beforehand

  • His alleged motive was to get a higher salary on Empire, the police revealed yesterday

  • Smollett earns $100,000 per episode which amounts to $1.8million a season

#2  I hadn't heard this. He really paid with a personal check for his criminal behavior? Have people never heard of cash and/or favors? Seriously? Oh my God, I know actors are freaking stupid, but this is just astounding.
