Empire actor sues the city of Chicago

Empire actor Jussie Smollett is suing the city of Chicago over their actions against him.

Papers filed by his lawyers claim he’s been caused humiliation and extreme distress.

Authorities have accused him of staging a racist and homophobic attack on himself in January, something he’s always denied.

They’re trying to get him to pay $130,000 in costs to cover the time police spent investigating.
