Former “Empire” star Jussie Smollett pleaded not guilty Tuesday morning to the six new charges brought against him over a January 2019 attack against the actor, for which he was later accused of filing a false report.
His next court date is set for March 18, according to the Chicago Tribune. His bond was set at $20,000 and Smollett was released on his own recognizance. Representatives for Smollett did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.
The indictment, handed out Feb. 11 by Special Prosecutor Dan Webb, charged Smollett with six counts of disorderly conduct. Smollett is specifically charged with making “four separate false reports” to the Chicago Police, regarding a Jan. 29, 2019 incident where he claimed to have been the victim of a hate crime.
