Jurnee Smollett breaks her silence over brother Jussie

, ‘One of the most painful things my family has ever experienced – to love someone when we love my brother, and to look for someone you love so much, to go through such a thing, that is so public, has been destructive. I was already in a very dark space for a number of reasons, and I tried not to make it pessimistic. But everyone who knows me knows I love my brother and I believe my brother. “” Data-reactid = “33”> “It has been painful already,” the actress said The Hollywood Reporter, ‘One of the most painful things my family has ever experienced – to love someone when we love my brother, and to look for someone you love so much, to go through such a thing, that is so public, has been destructive. I was already in a very dark space for a number of reasons, and I tried not to make it pessimistic. But everyone who knows me knows I love my brother and I believe my brother. “

Jussie was arrested in February 2019 on charges of submitting a false report, in which he alleged that two masked men attacked him in Chicago at approximately 2 p.m. 29. They allegedly tied a sail around his neck, threw an unknown liquid on him and made a reference to the slogan of “Make America Great Again” by President Trump.

In fact, Jurnee said she could not say everything she wanted because of her brother’s ongoing legal case. They are two of six siblings in a close family.

“We are blessed to have a community of people who know him, and know he would not do this,” she said.

She added that he was doing OK, and that he was staying with her for a while after she filed for divorce from Josiah Bell in March.

‘I mean, f ***, man, I look at him sometimes and I’m like,’ He’s so strong, ” Jurnee said.

She explained that her brother, who is due out on an upcoming date, “stays creative, as creators do” by “singing, writing, working on music.”
