A commentary on Jussie Smollett

Take 5's Angela Poe Russell examines the 'Empire' actor's case and asks who should be most angry about his alleged actions?

Empire Actor Jussie Smollett turned himself into police Thursday to face charges of disorderly conduct for filing a false police report.

Smollett, who plays a gay character on the hit Fox television show, claimed he was attacked in late January as he was walking home. Smollett had said two men attacked him and hurled racist and anti-gay slurs at him, then looped a rope around his neck. He also had said the men yelled "This is MAGA country" — an apparent reference to President Donald Trump's campaign slogan, "Make America Great Again" — before fleeing.

After everything unfolded, I pondered this question: who should be more angry about Smollett's actions?
