Jussie Smollett and the city of Chicago have reached a settlement over a $130,000 lawsuit accusing him of filing a false police report regarding a staged attack in 2019. The settlement details remain under wraps as both parties need additional time to finalize documentation. The lawsuit was initiated following Smollett's claims of a homophobic and racist assault, which were later proved to be untrue, with evidence showing he had paid two men to stage the incident. Although initially dropped, his felony conviction was overturned due to legal technicalities, yet Smollett has not confessed to perpetrating the hoax.

While charges were initially dropped, Smollett's conviction on five felony counts was later overturned due to a violation of his Fifth Amendment rights.
