Megyn Kelly Levels Jussie Smollett in Post-Sentencing Rant: ‘I Don’t Feel Sorry for Him at All’

Independent journalist Megyn Kelly made it clear that she had no patience for any continued drama coming from convicted hate-crime hoaxer Jussie Smollett following his sentencing on Thursday evening.

Kelly discussed the “Empire” actor’s situation on her Friday show with guest Dave Rubin, and she said that she didn’t care what personal issues he might be dealing with and did not “feel sorry for him at all.”

Kelly mentioned the verbal lashing Cook County Judge James Linn delivered ahead of the sentence as well as pleas for mercy from Smollett’s brother Jojo, who claimed the judge was unaware of the difficulties the actor was facing.

“He doesn’t know the struggles my brother is encountering. He doesn’t know anything that he’s dealing with,” Jojo said.

The actor himself launched a brief tirade after being sentenced to 150 days in the Cook County Jail — in addition to probation and approximately $150,000 in fines and restitution combined.
