Jussie Smollett

A wealthy homosexual black man that paid a couple of brothers from Nigeria to fake a hate crime against him for being wealthy homosexual and black. He paid to have the brothers insult and slander his employer that gave him his wealth as well as lunging homosexual and racial hate speech which were lies he spoon-fed to the nation in multiple interviews and social media posts claiming the "perpetrators" were in alliance with the then current 2019 presidential regime by dropping their political slogan "MAGA" during the "hate crime." He managed to fool many people in power and activists including but not limited to: BLM, LGBTQ, President Joseph Biden, Vice-President Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders member of the Senate, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez member of the House of Representatives, Lori Lightfoot Mayor of Chicago, even the 45th President Donald Trump... all of the listed people consoled and supported Jussie after the "attack." His political and publicity fueled hoax was thwarted by the Chicago Justice system thanks to the police noticing Jussie refusing to drop a Subway sandwich all while "being beaten and having bleach being poured on him. " Many people would've dropped said sandwich seeking refuge during such an attack but him having the sandwich unscathed was suspicious to the police and warranted further investigation that paved a road to uncover the enormous lie.
Lying about being a victim of a hate crime publicly to gain publicity and push one's own narrative.

In 2016, Marcus Owens; a Naperville, IL resident and a freshman from the University of Iowa pulled a "Jussie Smollett."

Owens went on multiple news interviews claiming he'd been a victim of a racist fueled physical attack by three white men while hurling racist slurs as he was walking home from a bar. However, after reviewing surveillance footage and talking to multiple witnesses, the Iowa City Police Department and the FBI determined that Owens was involved in multiple altercations the night of April 30 and going into May 1; he'd been the cause of these altercations.
