Jussie Smollett Puts Family to Work, Helping Him Move to New Home

Jussie Smollett‘s got a lot of baggage, so he’s enlisted his brother to help him load it up and move it out … to a new pad, that is.

The embattled “Empire” star’s baby bro, Jake, got down and dirty Thursday to help Jussie move out of his Studio City crib and into a new home. You can also see a moving crew helping big time … hauling a bunch of Jussie’s crap — from workout equipment and lamps to chairs and mirrors.

Jake, who’s also an actor, has stood firm — like all of the Smolletts — in his support of Jussie. 

You might say Jake’s going above and beyond for his bro … because the move was going down while Jussie was in NYC power-lunching with “Empire” honcho, Brett Mahoney — no doubt, discussing his future on the show.

Two-pronged attack — Jussie handles biz, while his family handles the personal stuff.
