“Over six years ago, after it was reported that I had jumped, the city officials in Chicago set off to convince the public that I deliberately put an attack against myself. This wrong story left a stain about my character that will not soon disappear,” he wrote.

He added: “These officials wanted my money and wanted my confession for something I didn't do. Today should be clear … You didn't receive either.”

Smollett said that his decision to regulate itself was “not the most difficult to do” and said that “I gave the opportunity to provide a non -profit donation in an exchange in the event of the case”.

He called Chicago his former home and found that “a donation benefits in favor of Chicago communities, which are neglected by the rulers too often, will always be something that I support.”

Smollett also announced a separate donation of 10,000 US dollars to the Chicago Torture Justice Center and wrote: “To everyone who had to prove that they were actually injured, they know how difficult this can be to navigate. I am with and for them.”

In March 2019, Smollett achieved its bond of $ 10,000 to the city and agreed to carry out 16 hours of non-profit services as part of a separate agreement to obtain all criminal charges in connection with the alleged wrong report.

In 2019, the city submitted a lawsuit for $ 130,000.

In November 2019, Smollett submitted a counterclaim against the city of Chicago and claimed to “maliciously” pursue the authorities in “In Density” and to enter criminal charges against him “for no probable reason”.

The counterclaim was submitted in response to a lawsuit that the city submitted against Smollett in April and was charged civilian punishments, damages and lawyers and costs of 130,000 US dollars, which result from Smollets alleged “false statements”.

Two brothers – Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo – later claimed that Smollett paid them 3,500 US dollars to help him orchestrate and staged, after Smollett was allegedly annoyed that a letter that threatened him was sent to the Fox studio in which the television series “Empire” was not shot, and was not enough after the police Receive attention.

The police later accused Smollett that he had written the letter. The brothers were not charged.

As part of the new comparison contract, Smollett donates 50,000 US dollars for the construction of a lighter futures center for the arts, a local non -profit company that serves disadvantaged young people in Chicago through art and education programs.

The donation was carried out in an exchange for the dismissal of the city's lawsuit against Smollett. This resulted in an explanation published on Thursday by the city's Ministry of Law.

In an official explanation, the department said: “The city is of the opinion that this settlement offers a fair, constructive and conclusive solution that enables all parties to close and advance this six -year chapter.”
