Jussie Smollett, 39, insisted that he’s innocent after being sentenced to 150 days in prison, 30 months of felony probation, and ordered to pay $120,106 in restitution and a $25,000 fine by Chicago’s Judge James Linn on Thursday, March 10.

Immediately after the sentencing, Smollett addressed the court room where he yelled he’s not “suicidal.” “I am not suicidal,” Jussie said in a dramatic fashion. “I am not suicidal.

I am innocent and I am not suicidal. If I did this then it means I stuck my fist in the fears of Black Americans in this country for over 400 years, and the fears of the LGBT community,” he said in the shocking moment. “Your honor I respect you and I respect the jury, but I did not do this and I am not suicidal.

And if anything happens to me when I go in there, I did not do it to myself and you must all know that. I respect you, your honor.
