Stars at Court

The Empire alum made headlines in January 2019 when he claimed he was targeted in a racist and homophobic attack. “Despite my frustrations and deep concern with certain inaccuracies and misrepresentations that have been spread, I still believe that justice will be served,” he said in a statement to Essence in February 2019. “As my family stated, these types of cowardly attacks are happening to my sisters, brothers and non-gender conforming siblings daily. I am not and should not be looked upon as an isolated incident. We will talk soon and I will address all details of this horrific incident, but I need a moment to process. Most importantly, during times of trauma, grief and pain, there is still a responsibility to lead with love. It’s all I know. And that can’t be kicked out of me.”

In February 2019, he was accused of staging the incident and charged with felony disorderly conduct for making a false police report. He was arrested and later hit with 16 felony counts.

Smollett’s attorneys said in March 2019 that the charges against him were dropped, but in February 2020, a special prosecutor indicted him on six felony counts of disorderly conduct. He pleaded not guilty to the charges at the time.

The Mighty Ducks star was written out of Empire amid his legal woes. His costars sent an open letter to network executives and producers in April 2019 to rehire him, but their efforts failed.

Red Carpet Date! Sophia Bush and Grant Hughes Attend WHCA Dinner

Finding The One! Sophia Bush has kept her romance with Grant Hughes relatively private since the pair were first spotted together in Malibu in May 2020. However, the FocusMotion Health founder has shared a few photos of the couple. Ever since landing the role of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill in 2003, Bush’s personal life has made headlines. That is something that the actress and activist has intentionally changed, she explained in June 2021. “It’s hard to have nothing that’s yours. And when you are a person who lives in the public eye, everybody wants to pick over everything and that can be really tricky,” the False Positive actress told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I also grew up in the early aughts when girls were raked over the coals for any choices that they made. And I just was like, ‘I don’t think I like this.’ I didn’t like having my private life lied about. There were times where someone would send through an article and be like, ‘Well, supposedly you’re dating t...
