'Empire' creator Lee Daniels on the Jussie Smollett scandal: 'I’m beyond embarrassed.'
After Jussie Smollett claimed to be a victim of a hate crime earlier this year,"Empire" co-creator Lee Daniels strongly supported the actor.
“I’m beyond embarrassed. I think that when it happened, I had a flash of me running from bullies,” Daniels told Vulture. “I had a flash of my whole life, of my childhood, my youth, getting beaten." However, the Oscar-nominated director still maintains that Smollett's story may not have been a hoax.
