This week 20th Century Fox announced Empire would be moving forward with season six without Jussie Smollett in the role of Jamal Lyon after Jussie staged an apparent hate crime hoax in Chicago [click here if you missed that].
Now insiders claim Jussie is ready to end it all...
From Sandra Rose
According to a source close to the family, Smollett, 36, is "devastated" and suicidal over the apparent end of his acting career. The part-time singer also lost a coveted lead role in the Tony Award-winning Broadway play Take Me Out, about a baseball player who comes out of the closet at the peak of his career.
