Abel and Ola Osundairo, the brothers involved in the Jussie Smollet scandal, sat down for their first-ever VladTV interview, and they spoke about growing up in Chicago’s Southside. After speaking about their Nigerian background and their parents being very strict, the brothers addressed an incident in 2011 that led to them being charged with attempted murder. From there, they spoke about starting a few businesses and getting into acting, including Ola being handpicked by Spike Lee in “Chiraq.”
Abel also spoke about being a stand-in for Jussie Smollett’s love interest in “Empire,” which led to them speaking about the now-infamous incident with the actor. The brothers explained that they agreed to help Jussie stage an incident that would make it appear that Jussie was attacked in a racially-motivated incident. They also stated that Smollett agreed to help them with their acting careers if they went along with the stunt, which led to Smollett’s arrest. From there, they spoke about the trial, and Jussie being found guilty of orchestrating a fake hate crime.
