- Last week Jussie Smollett was sentenced to 150 days in prison and Taraji P. Henson isn't just going to sit by and let that happen. Taraji took to Instagram to request that Smollett be released from prison.
- "I am not here to debate you on his innocence but we can agree that the punishment doesn't fit the crime," captioned Henson. "Emmett Till was brutally beat and ultimately murdered because of a lie and none of the people involved with his demise spent one day in jail."
- Taraji went on to say that Smollett has "lost everything" and she wishes that Smollett is freed from jail and put on house arrest instead.
