Jussie Smollett released on bond

{O/C} American Black and gay actor Jussie Smollett has been released from jail on an 150,000-dollar bond following six nights behind bars.

The drama "Empire" actor left the Cook County Jail on Wednesday on a personal recognisance bond of 150,000 USD.


Despite the hungry media, he didn't comment as he got into an awaiting SUV.


His lawyers said all because of his sexual orientation and race, Smollett is the target of a racist justice system and politicians.


His family, though, is said to be satisfied with his release.


This comes after a Cook County judge sentenced Smollett last week to 150 days in jail for making up a hate crime in 2019.
