Jussie Smollett has just been hammered with a $130,106.15 lawsuit the City of Chicago promised … and he may effectively go on trial for allegedly staging the “attack” in January.

The lawsuit — to recover the costs of investigating the case — outlines what the City claims Jussie did.  It says Jussie and Abel Osundairo had been friends since 2017 — socializing and exercising togbether.  It says Abel assisted Jussie in obtaining recreational drugs.

The lawsuit claims Jussie told Abel shortly before the “attack,” “Might need your help on the low.”

The lawsuit claims, as we reported, Jussie scoped out the location for the “attack” with Abel and Ola 2 days before the attack and a dry run the day before.  They agreed Abel would attack Jussie but would not hurt him too badly and would give Jussie a chance to appear to fight back.  

The suit claims they also scripted the brothers initiating the attack by calling Jussie “Empire f***** Empire n*****” — referring to the homophobic and racist slurs.

The suit says every minute detail of the “attack” was scripted.  They discussed the brothers placing a rope around Jussie’s neck and pouring a liquid on it.  

The brothers were also instructed not to bring their cellphones — presumably so they couldn’t be tracked.

As we reported … the city threatened to sue Jussie if he didn’t fork over $130k to cover the cost of investigating a case it says was faked by the “Empire” star. The City of Chicago fired off a letter to Jussie’s people just last week … but his camp told the City to go pound sand.

A city spokesman ripped Smollett for refusing “to reimburse the City of Chicago for the cost of police overtime spent investigating his false police report on January 29, 2019.”

As we reported, Chicago can demand 3 times the actual cost of the investigation, which amounts to nearly $400k. But, more interestingly … the lawsuit means Jussie effectively goes on trial for allegedly faking the “attack.” The City only has to prove it’s more likely than not Jussie faked it.

As you know … prosecutors shockingly dropped 16 criminal counts against Jussie, which pissed off Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago PD — and now has many calling for State’s Attorney Kim Foxx‘s job.
