Smollett’s reps have yet to comment on the police department’s request to speak to him.
A statement issued by his attorneys, following the Osundairo brothers’ release, commented on the development of the case. It considers the amicable nature of all three men’s relationship. One of the brothers is Smollett’s personal trainer. “It is impossible to believe that this person could have played a role in the crime against Jussie or would falsely claim Jussie’s complicity,” the statement read.
