Sounds like ‘Empire’ has slashed Jussie Smollett’s screen time …
Jussie Smollett's 'Empire' Role Slashed in Wake Of 'Attack' Scandal https://t.co/M0voflrJip

From TMZ:
Jussie Smollett’s “Empire” screen time is getting slashed in the wake of a growing sentiment that he staged the so-called “attack.”
Production sources tell TMZ … Jussie was supposed to have 9 scenes and a big musical number in the second to the last episode — which is being shot now — but, 5 of his scenes have been cut, and his musical number has been 86’d.
As for the remaining 4 scenes … we’re told he’s no longer the focus. The scene features an ensemble, meaning he’s flanked by a number of cast members.
So much for that whole musical number thing.
James Woods had some harsh words of advice for Jussie.

DAMN.
Odds on James getting locked for #LearnToCode? Now, he did add another word TO the hashtag so he might be ok but … ya’ never know with Twitter these days.

Learn to code? I’d be surprised if he learned to tie his own shoelaces.

We’re not holding our breath for real consequences but we’ll see.
