Jussie Smollett has once again shaken Hollywood with his ongoing controversy. After being accused of lying about a staged anti-Trump attack in 2019, Smollett is now dragging Kim Kardashian into the fray. In a shocking revelation, brothers Abel and Ola Osundairo, who helped Smollett stage the attack, claimed that he accused Kardashian of fabricating her infamous 2016 Paris robbery to justify his actions.

Shocking Allegations
The revelation came when Abel and Ola appeared on Fox and Friends, recounting how Smollett convinced them to participate in the hoax by claiming, “This is what Hollywood does.” Smollett allegedly referenced Kim Kardashian’s Paris robbery — an incident where she claimed to have been “bound and gagged” by robbers posing as police officers at a luxury hotel.
Smollett reportedly said: “Kim Kardashian did it too. It was all fake.” However, the Paris robbery was thoroughly investigated by French authorities, and the actual perpetrators were arrested and convicted. Kardashian’s representatives have yet to respond to these allegations.

Background of the Case
Jussie Smollett was convicted in 2021 for orchestrating a fake attack to gain publicity. He hired Abel and Ola Osundairo to stage the incident, fabricating a story of being attacked by two men in MAGA hats who used homophobic slurs and placed a noose around his neck.
Smollett was found guilty of filing false police reports, but yesterday, the Illinois Supreme Court overturned his conviction due to a legal technicality related to a “sweetheart deal” he received from prosecutor Kim Foxx.

Reaction from the Osundairo Brothers
In the interview, the Osundairo brothers urged Smollett to admit his guilt. Abel stated: “Jussie should have taken responsibility from the start. He abused his power and influence to create injustice.”
Olabinjo expressed frustration with the preferential treatment Smollett received: “If it were ordinary people like us, there’s no way we’d get a deal like that.”
The brothers revealed they initially thought participating in the hoax would be their gateway into Hollywood but ended up embroiled in one of the industry’s biggest scandals.
Larger Implications
Smollett’s allegations not only tarnish his own reputation but also bring Kim Kardashian into the spotlight. Kardashian, who endured immense pressure following the robbery, now faces renewed scrutiny due to Smollett’s inflammatory claims.
French authorities have confirmed the robbery was real, and the perpetrators were convicted. However, Smollett’s comments raise questions about how Hollywood leverages events for attention and personal gain.
A Controversial Saga
Jussie Smollett’s case remains one of Hollywood’s most divisive scandals. His allegations against Kim Kardashian only add complexity to the story. Whether true or not, this saga highlights that Hollywood is not just a place of glamour but also a breeding ground for conflict and controversy.
