Will be interesting to see how this plays out if the lawsuit is not dismissed. I seem to recall (I am not wasting my time to go back to review the case) that there was a letter that he is alleged to have sent himself which did not evoke the type response he thought it should warrant, so the "attack" was a step up in order to get attention.

Consider:
1) He alleged a threat by mail
2) He alleged that he was a victim of a racial attack, identfying his attackers as two MAGA hat wearing white men AND that a thin rope noose was draped over his head
3) He is an actor on a prime time TV show
4) He has a connection to the state attorney (she admitted this when she "recused" herself from the case)

How could he NOT expect a full blown response?

Consider that people are being charged a fee when their alarm system triggers a false alarm that results in a response from police/fire. Also, people have been charged thousands of dollars for rescue fees when they have done something stupid that ends of needing a rescue.

I would submit he wanted a big response, but, and I will be polite, lacked the foresight to recognize that the response would be more than angry tweets bemoaning a segment of the population that he apparently does not like.

My hope is that the court does hear the case and that he does end up paying a significant amount of money for perpetrating a fraud on the city of Chicago. Remember that the threshold for a lawsuit does not require a criminal charge nor a criminal conviction if there was a charge (remember OJ?)

The lawsuit makes no sense. They want him to pay for work performed investigating a false police report. But, the State Attorney dropped all charges against Smollett related to filing a false report. I don't believe they can even justify the lawsuit from a financial standpoint, because they are probably going to spend more than $130,000 pursuing the lawsuit.

This whole story, while hilarious and unbelievable, is what “fake news” really is. Probably nothing can be done to make him pay for it, but his career will surely pay for it. But, like O.J. and George Zimmerman, I think we’ll see more of him in the future.
