Hollywood actress Jurnee Smollett is riding for some serious game-changing moves “Empire” made on Wednesday’s broadcast. The sister of show star Jussie Smollett has come forward to acknowledge what history went down on the gripping hour-long episode.
Jurnee hit up Instagram with some emotional words about Smollett’s Jamal Lyon character tying the knot with another man on primetime TV.
According to reports, “Empire” stars Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson joined other cast members in requesting Smollett to return for “Empire’s” sixth season.
Henson, Howard, and the rest of the drama series’ top cast, penned an April 19 letter to Fox Entertainment CEO Charlie Collier, Disney TV Studios and ABC Entertainment chair Dana Walden, Fox Entertainment president Michael Thorn, Empire co-creators Lee Daniels and Danny Strong, and other executive producers on the series, Varietyconfirmed. “Together, as a united front, we stand with Jussie Smollett and ask that our co-star, brother and friend be brought back for our sixth season of Empire,” read the letter, obtained by Deadline. It is signed by Bryshere Y. Gray, Trai Byers, Gabourey Sidibe, Nicole Ari Parker, and others. (Variety)

Last month, reports emerged about Smollett having his case dropped after initially facing serious jail time.
Smollett, 36, was seen arriving at a Chicago courtroom around 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday for an emergency hearing. Following his court appearance, his attorneys released a statement saying that the actor’s “record has been wiped clean of the filing of this tragic complaint against him.” (NBC News)
