Really America? BLEACHED? This is a brand new METHOD OF ASSAULT for me.
I don't watch Empire, I have NO idea who this kid is. That is irrelevant. These bastards need to go to jail for LIFE. Frankly, this is so despicable I hope it is all a nasty lie!!!!
PS Why is it only on TMZ?

One of the stars of television show “Empire” was reportedly beaten by two men who yelled “This is MAGA country,” reports TMZ.
They then put a noose around his neck.
According to the report, “Sources directly connected to Jussie tell TMZ, the actor arrived in Chicago from New York late Monday, and at around 2 AM he was hungry and went to a Subway. We’re told when he walked out, someone yelled, ‘Aren’t you that f***ot ‘Empire’ n*****?'”
The reports states that both the men were white and wearing ski masks and attacked, reporting: “Jussie as he fought back, but they beat him badly and fractured a rib. They put a rope around his neck, poured bleach on him and as they left they yelled, “This is MAGA country.'”
Afterward, he was taken to a local hospital before being discharged later Tuesday morning.

So rawstory is now a valid source, huh?
Where those unnamed sources "directly connected to Jussie" have video or audio?
Something else I'm curious about is where was tough guy Bourbon when all this was happening looking out for one of his own.
