"Nigerian brothers" sue Smollett attorneys for defamation
2019-04-24
[CWBCHICAGO] Two Lakeview men who police and prosecutors said helped TV star Jussie Smollett stage a bogus hate crime on Jan. 29th have filed a defamation suit against the actor’s Hollywood-based attorneys.

The complaint filed this morning in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,...
’s federal courthouse seeks more than $75,000 each for Olabinjo "Ola" Osundairo and Abimbola "Bola" Osundairo from attorneys Mark Geragos and Tina Glandian as well as the Geragos & Geragos Law Firm.

Geragos and Glandian are accused of making defamatory public statements against the brothers that were published by local media outlets. Throughout the 16-page filing, lawyers for the Osundairos allege that the comments made by Geragos and Glandian went beyond legal representation as the criminal case against Smollett had been resolved when the actor's attorneys made the allegedly defamatory claims.

The suit focuses on statements made by Smollett’s legal team after criminal charges were wrapped up in a secretive and controversial emergency court hearing on March 26th.

"Face with an outraged public," the suit claims, Geragos and Glandian "doubled down" by accusing the Osundairos of leading "a criminally homophobic, racist and violent attack" against Smollett.

Geragos and Glandian "made these comments knowing they were untrue to distract from Mr. Smollett’s farce and to promote themselves and the Geragos & Geragos Law Firm," the suit alleges.

The suit states explicitly that Glandian told a national TV audience that the Osundairos "criminally attacked" Smollett and "may have been wearing ’whiteface’" during the purported attack that was implied to be a hate crime.
