Taye Diggs Says ‘Empire’ Should Bring Back Jussie Smollett

Actor Taye Diggs admitted he thinks Jussie Smollett deserves another shot on the Fox show “Empire.” During an interview on Black Hollywood Live‘s “Inside The Black Actor’s Studio” podcast, the 48-year-old actor said that he wants the 37-year-old former Empire actor to be brought back to the hit Fox show. “I have no idea what people are going through. And to be honest, it’s kinda none of my business,” Taye shared. “He is a good friend of mine. I love him. He’s, he’s only done right by me. So you know people go through things. It doesn’t change who he was and who he is to me. It doesn’t change, you know, the attention that we still need to pay to, you know, homophobic. Like, the people, people trip out, just because; whatever happened doesn’t mean that, that the issue that he stands for don’t still exist.”
