Jussie Smollett Makes First Red Carpet Appearance in Years, Days Before His Trial

Jussie Smollett has returned to the red carpet after more than two years out of the public eye amid his scandal.

The screening took place just days before Jussie faces a Chicago trial jury to fave disorderly conduct charges from the alleged hoax hate crime he reported in 2019.

Jussie‘s lawyers tried to dismiss the case, but the judge denied the motion and the trial will begin on November 29. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Last year, Jussie opened up in a rare interview.
