In case anyone is suspicious of Jussie Smollett's story of his attack

JUSSIE SMOLLETT
TURNED DOWN EXTRA SECURITY ...
Days Before Brutal Attack


"Empire" star Jussie Smollett didn't want to be encumbered by an entourage of bodyguards when he wasn't working ... despite an offer by Fox a week before the brutal attack.

Sources close to the situation tell us ... security for the "Empire" cast was increased last week after Fox Studios, in Chicago, received that threatening, homophobic letter addressed to Smollett.

We're told Fox made the call to beef up security for everyone on set and wanted to give Jussie additional protection around the clock ... but, he declined. Our sources say he made the decision to not have extra security during off-hours because it was an intrusive way of living.

When someone tells you who they are and what they're going to do, you should believe them. I'm very sorry Mr. Smollett was assaulted, and I wish I could think it would never happen to anyone ever again.
