In an interview that will air Thursday morning, Jussie Smollett told “Good Morning America” anchor Robin Roberts that he is certain the two men featured in surveillance footage obtained by Chicago police are the same men he says attacked him.
“I don’t have any doubt in my mind that that’s them,” Smollett said in an excerpt from the interview made available Wednesday. “Never did.”
As TheWrap first reported, Roberts landed the first interview with the “Empire” star since reported being attacked in Chicago while walking to his apartment. According to Smollett, two men attacked him while yelling racial and homophobic slurs and referencing “MAGA.”
