American rapper and actress Queen Latifah says she will stand by Empire actor Jussie Smollett
until she sees proof that he staged a hate attack on himself. Smollett has been charged with filing a false police report, and was last week slammed by Chicago police officers for taking advantage “of the pain and anger of racism to promote his career.” But Queen Latifah said: “The guy I have seen has always been someone who cares about people, who cares about others, and who is very kind and who is always been cool and sweet. And that is just the guy I know. So until I can see some definitive proof – which I have not seen yet – then, you know, I got to go with him until I see otherwise.” (IANS)
