Smollett-less 'Empire'
Fox Entertainment’s hit show “Empire” was officially picked up for a sixth season -- but without one of its controversial mainstays, Jussie Smollett. “By mutual agreement, the studio has negotiated an extension to Jussie Smollett’s option for season six, but at this time there are no plans for the character of Jamal to return to ‘Empire,’” Fox Entertainment and 20th Century Fox TV said in a statement to Fox News on Tuesday. Smollett's spokesperson said the actor was grateful to Fox for keeping the future of his character Jamal open and was grateful to the cast, crew and leadership of "Empire" for their unwavering support. Smollett faces a lawsuit from the city of Chicago after prosecutors dropped 16 felony disorderly conduct charges against him for his alleged role in a hate-crime hoax scandal.
