The 2 brothers who allegedly faked the Jussie Smollett attack are suing the actor’s lawyers, Mark Geragos and Tina Glandian, for defamation, claiming the attorneys lied to the media and tried to make it appear Ola and Abel Osundairowere the culprits in a real, homophobic and racist attack.
The brothers filed the case in Chicago federal court, claiming Jussie “used his clout as a wealthy actor to influence [the brothers] who were in a subordinate relationship to him and were aspiring to ‘make it.'”
The suit says when Tina Glandian went on ‘GMA,’ “Today” and the Reasonable Doubt podcast after the charges against Jussie were dismissed, she told a string of lies … including the brothers wore whiteface during the attack and the brothers were involved in an illegal Nigerian steroid trafficking ring.
The lawsuit also claims Glandian falsely claimed one of the brothers “engaged in fornication with Mr. Smollett.”
As for Geragos, the suit claims he “repeatedly indicated that plaintiffs conspired to criminally attack Mr. Smollett, and by doing so, implied plaintiffs committed perjury” to the Grand Jury and conspired to make false statements to the Chicago PD.
The suit doubles down and says the brothers never knew Jussie would go to the cops … rather, he was staging the “attack” for social media.
The brothers say as a result of the alleged defamation they suffered extreme emotional distress, humiliation, anxiety, damages to their reputation, and damages to current and prospective business relations.
As we reported, Ola and Abel have had a tough time finding work, both as actors and personal trainers, in the wake of the scandal.
One final thing … it’s interesting the brothers did not sue Jussie, who also claimed they were the culprits in the alleged racist and homophobic attack
