Twitter was set ablaze following the sentencing of disgraced former 'Empire' actor Jussie Smollett, with users mocking him for his courtroom outburst.
Several users questioned Smollett on whether his actions were worth receiving the sentence he did. Some attorneys on Twitter noted that one of his lawyers looked uncomfortable during the outburst and just wanted"to get the hell out of Dodge."
Others argued Smollett"embarrassed himself" with his"temper tantrum" in the courtroom, while media personality"Jussie Smollett, for all his pathetic courtroom squealing, is an entitled, narcissistic, arrogant, lying, hypocritical, race-baiting douchebag… and his despicable actions were the inevitable consequence of a virtue-signalling society that celebrates & rewards victimhood," Morgan wrote.
