Headline: Jussie Smollett attending outpatient rehabilitation program
Caption: A representative for the Empire star confirmed to TMZ on Wednesday that the 41-year-old actor was receiving outpatient treatment. "Jussie has had an extremely difficult past few years. He has quietly been working very hard for some time now and we are proud of him for taking these necessary steps." Jussie has been awaiting an appeal in his 2019 hate crime hoax case. The actor was found guilty of lying to police about being attacked by two masked men, whom he alleged put a noose around his neck and doused him in bleach near his apartment in Chicago.
